In bathrooms, usability and aesthetics often goes hand in hand. This is necessary, as in often small spaces every element must play its part. There is little room for extraneous decor, and so the functional items in a bathroom need also to be stylish.
Luckily, for those who wish to inject some style into their bathroom, there are plenty of ways to do so. One of the secrets to effective bathroom design is to limit the use of space. Use techniques and features that have little or no “footprint” and you will ensure that your bathroom doesn’t become cluttered.
Colour is obviously easy to implement even in the very smallest of spaces. Veering away from the traditional white bathroom, and experimenting with other colour combinations, or splashes of colour, will have no impact on space, but a lot of impact on decor.
Many features in a bathroom can nowadays be incorporated with a designer edge. Radiators have become essential elements of modern bathrooms, and these too can be used in stylistic and functional terms.
A designer radiator can really add an extra dimension to a bathroom space. High quality features always punch above their weight in a bathroom, and radiators are no different.
At SMR Bathrooms we’ve got lots of designer radiator options, all made to designer standards – so they are both functional and highly stylish.
For example, we stock models from designers like Rapture, Zenith and Neva, great designer names that are committed to the highest standards of designer bathroom technology.
Most of us will have used cutting tools at one time or another, whether it is to do a job around the house or in the workplace. If you are in a job where you use these tools on a daily basis, it’s easy for complacency to creep in – familiarity breeds contempt can sum this up – so it’s worth having a look at the best way to use these tools and keep yourself and your colleagues safe.
The most important thing to remember when using cutting tools is to always cut away from the body and face. This next part may sound a little odd, but when cutting with one hand, you should know where your other hand is.
It’s so easy to get distracted while carrying out a job, so always be aware of exactly what is happening around you. If a sharp tool is dropped, don’t try to catch it but allow it to fall, making sure that your legs and feet are out of the way. The correct workwear can make a difference as well: For example, if you are wearing the right type of boots you will be protected if the tool does land on your foot, so have a look at what Buck and Hickman can offer when it comes to workwear.
As with most things in the workplace, common sense if the key to remaining safe. For example, if you are walking to a job with a tool in your hand, it should be carried with the blade down and away from your body.
