Shower over bath? Your opinion required
Comments (14)Hi Nic, I've been stuck with shower-over-baths in a few rentals and they can be slippery death traps! They also get grotty in summer with bare feet, post beach showers etc which limits usage as a bath anyway. If your kids are old enough I'd go for just a nice big shower area or a separate shower with a compact freestanding bath if you can fit one. If your kids are little or the above won't work for you here's some tips to make a shower over bath safer and easy to use: - Pick a bath with an absolutely flat bottom and anti slip texture at the shower end (those suction anti-slip mats are worse than useless). - Position the shower screen so that you can step straight onto the anti slip part. - Make sure the bath edge is low enough for the kids to enter end exit easily. - A hand held shower head that can move up and down would be a nice addition. Hope that helps! Good luck with the new bathroom :)...See MoreNeed help for my dining room lighting.
Comments (1)I would get a better chandalier with better lighting and IMO DRs do not have to be bright as they are mostly used in the evening....See MoreNeed help with kitchen lighting
Comments (2)When you're doing lighting in a kitchen it's a good idea to have good directed light over the main tasks areas, cooking, dishwashing, food prep. You could achieve this with downlights directed at those areas, or track lighting where you can direct/angle each of the lights on the track. Re the pendant over sink area, would need to be at a height that ensures safety - water & electricity, not a good combo. There may be some NZ standards that you can refer to, to get the correct info....See MoreShower door for double shower - What to do?
Comments (1)I have a similar sized ensuite in my own house and would definitely not put two doors in it. You will probably find that a fixed glass panel to half the width and a glass door the other half would work fine. Alternatively you can get a sliding glass door (again 50/50) if you like the look of them as they do save on space....See Moresamharwood87

7 years agoHi Sam, there are quite a number of sources (Google is, as ever, your friend!), but the starting point should be to check carefully the specific "Zone" the lights will fall in and then ensure that the IP rating is appropriate: more details can be found here.
Depending on location, you may need an IP44 minimum rating, though IP65 is often recommended. Lights should be low voltage (low voltage LEDs are ideal where appropriately rated) and with suitable RCD protection fitted - any suitably qualified electrician will be able to help.
If you need help sourcing, feel free to get in touch, or find a friendly local electrician!

7 years agoDue to the close proximity to the shower you may struggle to
find Spotlights that are at a high enough IP rating, like said in a previous
comment the recommendations for a Zone 1 is IP65. However you can use
n IP44 rated product in a Zone 1 but it must be connected to a 30Ma RCD
proctedcted curciut. (Full details can be found in the current IEE Wiring
Regulations [BS7671])Here's few suggestions you can look at:
Terra Recessed Light - Stainless Steel
Kenn 1 Light Adjustable Wall Light - Black
You can view full bathroom range here... and we would also suggest to look at outdoor lights as most of them have suitable IP ratings.
Whatever style you decide on we highly recommend you seek
advice and have the lighting fitted by a trained and certified electrician.Hope this helps and if you have any questions feel free to contact us by emailing customerservice@litecraft.co.uk or by calling 0161 359 4777
Kind Regards,
