We had a great turnout at our Trade Event last Thursday! Our Bedford showroom opened its doors to customers and traders at 8:30am sharp and the day of demonstrations and product launches began.

We had reprentatives from Kerakoll, James Hardie, Montolit, Underfloor Heating HQ and Häfele. All were offering amazing unbeatable deals for those attending the event. We also had discounts running on some of our own stocked adhesives.

Christmas came early for Stuart Holmes from SRH Ceramic Tiling - the lucky winner of the pallet of goodies worth over £500. He was extremely glad he came along!

Spacious and minimal

Sleek and modern, this kitchen is a great example of how style doesn’t mean compromising on functionality. The Arredo 3 Kali units in Cemento and Lavagna provide an elegant and minimal aesthetic.

But the minimalism doesn't apply to the amount of storage - there's plenty of space for all your kitchen supplies! Appliances can be displayed on the plentiful countertops or hidden away behind closed doors - there certainly are enough of them!

We are pleased to announce that we'll be hosting another Trade Event before the turn of the year! This time the venue will be at our Bedford showroom - where our very first trade event happened three years ago.

There will be demonstrations of popular adhesives from Kerakoll, featuring the award winning BioGel range. Montolit, a leading tile cutter manufacturer, will be exhibiting their best-seller - the Masterpiuma series. James Hardie will showcase their famous HardieBacker backer board and Porcelanosa will be offering special deals on select tile ranges. Exclusive one-day deals can be enjoyed only by those who come along to the event.

We how have a Harry Potter inspired bathroom display at our Letchworth showroom and it has proved to be a massive hit with our customers! You won’t need a port key or Floo Powder to transport to Hogwarts Halls; the materials and sanitaryware have been carefully chosen to replicate bathrooms of the wizarding world.

The dusky colour scheme has been achieved with the mastery pick of tiles. The rectified 30 x 60cm ‘Reused Mud’ tile by Arpa is shown on the walls. This porcelain tile has a perfect mottled stone effect finish that looks as genuine as the real thing! The Reused collection is suitably named as it provides a fusion between vintage and modern styles.

Natural and textured

Though contemporary, this en-suite bathroom has a serene, spa-like ambience. This has been created using tiles inspired by nature. NovaBell's wood-effect My Space Cloud floor tiles combined with the Park Acero wall tiles by Porcelanosa give an organic feel that is timeless in a bathroom.

Contrasting the natural looking tiles yet still perfectly complementing them is the choice of modern sanitaryware which are all finished with shiny chrome fittings.

A miniature palace

The best things come in small packages and this bathroom is no different! Although space in this bathroom is limited, it has been utilised in the most practical and stylish way.

The Palatina Polished wall tiles in a marble effect give a luxurious and chic finish while the white colour keeps the space bright. Laying these rectangular tiles horizontally gives the illusion of a larger room. The Lounge Dark Grey floor tiles by RAK Ceramics provide a contemporary feel and perfectly complement the grey veining seen in the wall tiles.

A mix of the Victorian with modern

This charming bathroom has a Victorian theme on the walls using the classic V&A Puddle Glaze tiles. The Peacock Puddle Glaze gloss tiles create a gorgeous blue green backdrop – the alluring crackle glaze finish adds elegance and finesse.

The brick shape tiling is used up to half height and the smart V&A White Albion border gives the classic dado rail effect. In the bath area, the V&A White Plain Field tile is used on the top half of the walls to complete the traditional theme.
