UPGRADE YOUR BATHROOM WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM CREDA SHOWERS

When it comes to improving your home the key areas to focus your money on, no matter what your budget, are the areas that are utilised the most. Obviously the kitchen is one of these followed by the bathroom. For many homeowners, the bathroom needs just as much wow factor as the kitchen.

Whilst, we all enjoy a soak in the bath every once in a while, most of the time our busy lifestyles mean a quick shower is the most practical option. That said, thanks to the advances in showering technology there is no reason why this can’t be just as rewarding. So, when considering improvements to your bathroom, whether to increase the appeal of your home for potential buyers or simply because you fancy a change, there are two different routes you can take.

The ‘rip it out and start afresh’ option

You’ve made the decision that you want to give your bathroom a total revamp. Perhaps you want to move things around to make better use of space or remove the bath and replace it with a wet room area. Whatever the reason, this will open up a whole world of showering options to you.

If you have a low pressure gravity-fed system or a high-pressure system (ask your plumber if you’re not sure) then you could choose a mixer shower. The shower uses the hot water supply you have in the house, (stored or instant) and as the name suggests mixes this with cold water, supplying it at the desired temperature.

Mixers are available in many different designs, many of which can be used as an upgrade to create the minimalist look. Popular showers in the Creda portfolio include the Creda Bar Mixer and the Creda Overhead Bar Mixer. Both options come in a contemporary chrome finish and feature separate flow and thermostatic temperature controls.

The Creda mixers both provide affordable luxury however the Overhead Bar Mixer is even more striking in its design with a fixed rain shower and a detachable handset offering a flexible and stylish showering solution.

Digital revolution

Moving forwards the very latest in bathroom technology is the digital mixer shower, sure to add the wow factor to any designer bathroom. Offering a wealth of benefits, the Creda Digimix is not only the ultimate in luxury showering but it is also flexible and easy to fit.

Compatible with either low or high pressure systems, the Creda Digimix is completely wireless which means it can be controlled via a remote whilst the mixer base unit can be hidden away discreetly in the airing cupboard, under the bath or in the loft, resulting in minimal disruption to tiling.

Creda Digimix

Remote controlled
Thermostatic
Pre programmable individual user settings for ease of use
Water saving shutdown feature
Choice of accessory options

The ‘upgrade and make good’ option

If your budget doesn’t cover a complete revamp, then a bathroom makeover isn’t out of the question. Electric showers are not only a cost-effective option but they are also economic and efficient to run. When you think of an electric shower you perhaps think of a white box on the wall. However, this is no longer the case and the new electric showers from Creda have been specifically designed to add a splash of colour and style to any bathroom.

If you are planning to replace an existing electric shower then an important consideration is what side the electrical cable and cold water inlets are. Unlike some other models available, the Creda AquaAmbiance and the Creda Advantage 550C are ideal replacement showers because they feature multiple entry points down both sides of the shower for pipe work and cabling making them compatible with the plumbing and electrics on your existing shower.

Creda AquaAmbiance

Frosted fascia and polished chrome panel, incorporating LED lighting to provide the ultimate in style and ambience.
Simple to use push button on/off operation and separate rotary temperature and flow controls
3 power settings
Fully temperature stabilised

Creda Advantage 550C

10 OUT OF 10 FOR ELECTRIC SHOWERS

When it comes to recommending and fitting a shower, installers are faced with a wide variety of products to choose between. The options include mixer valves, power showers, shower panels, digital showers and instantaneous electric showers. Kevin Tolson of Creda Showers discusses the features and benefits of electric showers and explains why a concept that has been around for nearly 40 years should still remain an installer’s number one choice.

At Creda Showers we have been designing and manufacturing electric showers for years and from experience can offer a product range that has been developed with both the installer and end-user in mind.

Firstly, if we look at the needs of an installer, clearly an easy installation is key. The electric shower is a perfect “fit and forget” product and is straightforward to install either as an initial installation or a replacement. Creda Showers understands that for installers the replacement market is key. Recent introductions of products such as the Creda Advantage with a multi entry platform that allows water pipes and cables to be routed down both sides of the shower recognise the growing maturity of the market. This product has the added advantage of a footprint large enough to cover that of the previous shower being replaced - avoiding the need to retile or redecorate around the unit.

Siting wise the electric shower provides a convenient option. An instantaneous electric shower can be installed just about anywhere in the home because it only needs to be plumbed into a cold water rising main making it a practical choice for a new ensuite or an additional shower room downstairs.

Another key factor for installers and their customers is the affordability of the shower.

At a time when many homeowners are still cautious about how much they spend, the electric shower is undoubtedly an affordable option. For those looking to make improvements to a bathroom without completely renovating, electric showers offer an excellent update option without the price tag.

Reassuringly for the homeowner affordability does not mean a compromise has to be made on style. Today when it comes to the bathroom people are looking to create a certain amount of wow-factor so it is important to remember that electric shower design has also come a long way since the early days of dated, oversized white boxes. Now available in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours and finishes, an electric shower can complement even the most modern bathroom design.

Electric showers provide the perfect self-indulgent option for families and those who enjoy a long hot shower after a hard day. Instead of using a hot water feed, an instantaneous electric shower draws on the cold water and, as the name suggests, heats it as required. That means an inexhaustible supply of hot water and no more cold showers even if you are the last one to use that day.

The instantaneous nature of the shower offers another advantage over other concepts in terms of low running costs. This is achieved by only heating cold water as it is used rather than having to heat large amounts of stored water. With inbuilt heating elements the shower operates independently of the heating system, which means that they can be fitted in any home, regardless of which type of heating system is in place. This also means they can still be used if the heating is switched off or out of action, making them an ideal back-up in a second bathroom or shower room.

Finally, the latest development to enter the market has been the introduction of digital technology and, perhaps most importantly affordable digital technology. Digital mixer showers began appearing in manufacturers’ portfolios a few years ago, representing a real advance in the showering market. Initially, however, its high price tag meant that it was reserved for the top end of the market and the technology was somewhat slow to be widely accepted. More recently though changing consumer perception and a wider range of available products such as the Creda Digimix has created a very real opportunity for any installer willing to sell the benefits of digital technology to customers.

Designed with the installer and their customers in mind today’s stylish electric shower offers endless benefits and is available at a refreshingly affordable price tag.

ADVANTAGES OF ELECTRIC SHOWERS

Electric showers can be very economical and many people are opting for them as they can offer advantages over other types of shower systems. Instantaneous electric showers offer maximum convenience to users, as they operate independently of the central heating system, meaning the shower will even work when the central heating system in your home is switched off or is broken.

An electric shower can be fitted onto any domestic water system. Electric showers heat the water instantly as and when required, this is why they are also known as instantaneous electric showers.

If you choose to install a power shower instead of an electric shower; you need to be aware that it would not heat the water. It simply pumps water from the existing hot water and cold water tanks to produce a high pressure shower. Power showers cannot be used with mains pressure cold water, unvented heating systems, or with combination boilers. Therefore an electric shower, which operates independently of the existing heating system, can be a more convenient option.

Similarly, a mixer shower mixes cold and hot water from a heating system to achieve the desired bathing temperature. It is important to mention here that the valves of a manual mixer shower do not maintain a constant temperature if the flow of water to the shower changes, resulting in the shower water temperature rising or falling sharply. This can be avoided by choosing a thermostatic mixer shower instead, however these can be around the same cost as an electric shower.

One of the main advantages of electric showers is that they can save you money because of the way they work. You only heat the water you use which makes it quite an economical option. By avoiding the method of heating a whole tank of water, you are not wasting any energy. This is one of the reasons why more and more people today prefer to opt for this convenient and economical shower option to keep their utility bills to a minimum.

Creda Showers is one of the UK’s leading providers of showering solutions for the home and have many showers to suit any showering need.

The AquaAmbiance boasts an easy to use On/Off push button, plus flow and temperature controls that enable you to benefit from ‘set and forget’ showering convenience.

Easy to install, a multi entry shower platform (left, right, top, bottom or rear pipe and cable entry points) means that the Creda AquaAmbiance is ideal for replacement situations, minimising the need to disrupt existing tiles or to re-decorate.

The AquaAmbiance is available in 8.5kW, 9.5kW and 10.5kW outputs to suit all requirements and can be purchased through DIY giants such as B&Q.

CREDA SHOWERS GETS DIGITAL


Creda adds an exciting new product to its existing portfolio of stylish and affordable showering solutions with the launch of the Creda Thermostatic Digital Mixer Shower. The innovative wireless digital mixer shower offers a host of benefits for installers and end users alike.

Kevin Tolson, Creda Showers comments, “Digital mixer showers first entered the market around five years ago but, as with all new technology, they came at a price. Now, however, Creda has made this option more obtainable for the mass market.

“For the forward thinking installer this has created a very real opportunity to sell the benefits of digital technology to customers and for homeowners, digital mixer showers not only deliver the wow factor but they also provide them with a technologically advanced showering experience.”

As the Creda Digital Mixer Shower unit is wireless it means the digital mixer can be sited remotely, in the loft or under the bath, so there is no need for extensive excavation work to fit wires and pipes and therefore no need for expensive retiling. For the installer this simplifies and greatly reduces installation time and the homeowner can control the shower through a stylish remote control, which can be used up to 10m away from the base unit or from within the showering area.

Benefiting from all the latest technology, the Creda Digital Mixer Shower remote features an LCD display with three programmable memory options, which can be set to an individual’s preference guaranteeing the perfect shower temperature and flow rate every time. Fully thermostatic the Creda Digital Mixer is a reliable and safe option for families.

With the introduction of Part G in mind, Creda Showers has incorporated a number of clever water saving features into the Digital Mixer, which means it also meets the Code for Sustainable Homes Legislation. Electronically flow-controlled, the shower can achieve 6 litre/minute flow rates, without heating the water above 40oC and the programmable timer means that the shower will automatically turn itself off if it is either left on or turned on accidentally.

The new unit from Creda Showers is available in two different variants, ensuring it will suit any system whether that is gravity, combi or high pressure and with four stylish accessory kit options, it means there is something for everyone in terms of functionality and design.

Kevin adds, “To take advantage and reap the economic rewards on offer from the Digital Mixer Shower, installers need to familiarise themselves with the technology so they can sell on the many benefits to their customers, advising them that they can in fact, afford the very latest and must-have bathroom technology.”

THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING

In a year when many manufacturers consolidated product ranges rather than investing in new product developments, leading manufacturer of showering solutions, Creda Showers, embarked on its most significant programme of new product introductions for many years.

Creda Showers has been manufacturing showering solutions for many years and, in that time the company has witnessed the many ‘rises and falls’ of the UK construction market. The last 12 to 18 months has been, without doubt, one of the most challenging periods during the company’s history thanks to the far-reaching and damaging effects of the global recession. However, not one to rest on its laurels, Creda Showers faced the credit crunch head on and introduced its most significant programme of new products for many years.

“Creda Showers is a quality brand that stands for innovation and pioneering technology,” explains Kevin Tolson of Creda Showers. “Throughout the company’s history, Creda Showers has been at the very forefront of quality, affordable design and, despite the recent difficult market conditions, we took the decision that the best way forward was to invest in new product development, driving choice and confidence through product innovation.”

Part of this new product development, saw Creda Showers enter the digital showering market for the first time with the introduction of the new Thermostatic Digital Mixer Shower.
“Our competitors have had digital showering products within their ranges for a while now, but we took the decision not to jump on the bandwagon of the new ‘digital phenomenon’ and instead took our time developing our product, ensuring that we were able to offer customers the best possible technology at the best possible price,” continued Kevin. “Given the current economic climate and the fact that consumers are now being much more careful with money, it could be easy to assume that the cost of digital technology will still be too prohibitive for many. However, that is not the case with the Creda Thermostatic Digital Mixer Shower. As is synonymous with the Creda Showers brand, the new Digital Mixer Shower brings together the very latest in shower design, styling and performance to deliver a truly leading edge thermostatic digital mixer shower with an extremely affordable price tag.”

Creda Showers also strongly supports the Government’s recent revisions to Part G of the Building Regulations but believes more can still be done.

“It is encouraging that the Government is doing something to tackle the issues of hot water safety and water efficiency with the latest amends to the Building Regulations,” commented Kevin. “Hot water safety is something Creda Showers takes very seriously. However, it is important to note that the new regulations only affect new build properties and do not stipulate specific safety measures for showers. Therefore, it still remains the role of manufacturers and merchants to continue to educate customers about these important issues, helping them to understand the importance of products that offer additional safety features, particularly for households with young children, elderly or less able people.”

To support its wide range of new product introductions, Creda Showers has also invested heavily in new supporting material for retailers and customers. The company website has undergone a major revamp, ensuring that both retailers and customers have access to the very latest product information and a source of advice on important issues such as the latest Building Regulations.

Creda Showers helps support a workforce of more than 250 people, including a dedicated after sales support service of both engineers and professional installers. This ensures that Creda Showers always has the right solution for any showering installation.

“It has been an exciting year for the Creda Showers brand in terms of product development,” concluded Kevin. “2010 will be no different in terms of continued innovation and investment and we are looking forward to working closely with retailers over the next twelve months to ensure that the Creda Showers brand continues to deliver award-winning and pioneering technology. Despite the challenges that may still lie ahead, we believe that being positive and taking swift, decisive action in delivering exactly what the market needs is the way forward, both now and in the future so watch this space!”
