Ideal Standard outlines how the latest solutions and clever designs can help developers deliver compact bathrooms.
The footprint of the modern home is constantly evolving, with many spaces, including bathrooms, becoming much smaller over time. At the same time, having several smaller WCs, such as en-suites and cloakrooms, alongside a family bathroom is quickly becoming the norm and expectation for many homebuyers. This means housebuilders and developers need to make clever design and specification choices in order to deliver quality bathrooms, no matter the size.
Here, space-saving bathroom ranges offer a solution. Compact products such as short projection WCs, guest basins and countertop basins, give the illusion of floor space while offering full functionality. These are perfect for smaller spaces and can be paired with furniture like vanity units to give added storage – something house hunters are increasingly demanding.
With less floor space for developers and designers to work in, everything needs to work perfectly together, meaning it is important to make the most of pioneering technology to deliver high-quality products that last longer, reduce maintenance and help housebuilders deliver uncompromising bathrooms.
Single range
By choosing items from a single range or manufacturer, housebuilders and developers can choose products that have been designed to fit together, making it easy to combine solutions as needed for each project. Not only does this help lighten the load of specifiers and installation teams, but a complete range also helps to meet the expectations of end-users and create a bathroom that delivers on aesthetics, functionality and durability.
To ensure products work together in compact spaces and larger bathrooms alike, housebuilders can turn to multi-functional ranges, such as the i.life collection from Ideal Standard, that offer products to suit every space, from full-sized family bathrooms to en-suites and downstairs loos. Additionally, some ranges feature clever designs that make installation quicker and easier, further simplifying processes the installation teams on the ground and speeding up work for housebuilders.
There is clearly a lot to consider and, with so many things to get right, it’s important housebuilders and developers make the most of the products on offer in the space available.
Using total bathroom product collections that encompass space-saving items can help housebuilders ensure quality installations with products designed to work together, without the need to compromise on customisation or functionality.
