<p>The Raindance E420 Showerpipe has an unusual, innovative&nbsp;design&nbsp;featuring an asymmetrically-positioned wall rail, wide thermostat and flat overhead shower.&nbsp;The overhead shower element has a striking rectangular&nbsp;shape with softly-rounded corners and a new width of 420mm that&nbsp;perfectly follows the silhouette of the bather.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the very first time, a shower pipe offers multi-jet showering&nbsp;with a choice of two spray types available: a shoulder-wide air-enriched rain spray made possible by Hansgrohe AirPower technology, and a clear, wide flood jet for powerful and pampering showering enjoyment. In addition to regulating the water temperature and volume, the spray types can also be easily switched via the thermostat.&nbsp;</p>
<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.bathroomaffair.co.uk/storage/news/Raindance-E420.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1267095590111" alt="" /></span></span>Following the principle of integrated design, the knobs for controlling the temperature and water volume and for changing between the shower and jet types, virtually disappear in the form of the thermostat, which is mounted flush with the wall without any visible connections. The flat top of the thermostat&nbsp;consists of a high-quality glass surface offering a convenient storage shelf for cleansing products.</p>

<p>The results of the NKBA 2010 Kitchen &amp; Bath Design Trends Survey confirmed the continuation of a number of existing trends in the marketplace, but also uncovered others that indicate shifts in the direction that kitchen and bath style will take this year. Below are 2010&rsquo;s four bath trends:</p>
<p>1. In with the old, out with the new: Traditional will be the most popular design style in bathrooms in 2010, as contemporary designs will be a distant second, followed by the Shaker style as an even more distant third. Beiges and bones will be the most common colors used in bathrooms, followed by whites and off-whites, and then by browns, indicating a somewhat subdued colour palette this year.</p>
<p>2. Ceramic and granite: Ceramic and porcelain tile will be the dominant flooring materials in bathrooms this year, while natural stone will continue to prove popular as well. Though increasingly popular in kitchens, hardwood flooring won&rsquo;t become common in bathrooms in 2010. For vanity tops, granite will remain king, with quartz and marble also proving popular options.</p>
<p>3. Simple fixtures: Perhaps more than ever, the most common color for fixtures will be white. Bisque and off-white will be the only other fixture colours at all common in new or remodeled bathroom. For sinks, simple undermount models will be most popular, followed by integrated sink tops, drop-in sinks, vessel sinks, and pedestal sinks.</p>
<p>4. A nickel for every finish: Faucet finishes in the bathroom are similar to those used in current kitchen designs, with brushed nickel continuing to lead the way in 2010. Polished chrome and satin nickel will also be incorporated into many bathrooms, just as they had been throughout 2009. These faucet finishes will be followed by bronze and stainless steel.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Bright Future for Dansani with their New ‘Calidris Colour’ Bathroom Range</title><id>http://www.bathroomaffair.co.uk/news/2009/12/14/bright-future-for-dansani-with-their-new-calidris-colour-bat.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.bathroomaffair.co.uk/news/2009/12/14/bright-future-for-dansani-with-their-new-calidris-colour-bat.html"/><author><name>BGL Communications</name></author><published>2009-12-14T16:42:55Z</published><updated>2009-12-14T16:42:55Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-GB"><![CDATA[<p>&lsquo;Calidris Colour&rsquo; is an exciting new concept in bathroom furniture from Dansani, based on their &lsquo;Calidris Classic&rsquo; and &lsquo;Calidris Natura&rsquo; furniture ranges.</p>
<p>Calidris Colour explores the interplay between open and closed spaces as well the many different colour and layout compositions that are possible with the furniture&rsquo;s versatile modular system.</p>
<p>7 vibrant high gloss colours are available on cabinet doors and the back panels for open fronted cabinets. These colours can be used individually or even combined for a visually arresting effect!</p>

<p>Axor Massaud. Nature Inspired Design. French designer Jean-Marie Massaud brings us back to our origins. Inspired by nature, he created the exhilarating Axor Massaud bathroom collection. A new addition in 2009 is the bath tub, wherein Massaud's design concept is clearly visible - the harmonious connection between organic and geometrical shapes, natural aesthetics and modern design. With its extraordinary shape, the bath tub is everything one might expect in a modern bathroom. Once again, Massaud has achieved a perfect symbiosis between human being, water, object and space.</p>
<p>Innovative and convenient. Thanks to its light weight, the bathtub, made from polyurethane foam with fibre glass and polyester gel coating, is easy to install. <br /> A convenient feature: the centrally operated push-open valve, pre-mounted with waste set.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Esher, September 2009. Showering plays a key role in creating a sense of personal well-being. It is a small luxury for the body in everyday life, providing a very direct experience of the element water. As a general rule, it may be said that the larger the showerhead, the greater the showering pleasure &ndash; and this is particularly true of overhead showers that supply an extremely intensive experience of water. Consequently, the new Raindance E showerhead range, which Hansgrohe (ww.hansgrohe.com) has devised in collaboration with the renowned studio of Phoenix Design, not only impresses with its extraordinary styling but also by virtue of its consistently generous format.</p>
<p>Showering pleasure over the entire breadth<br /> The Raindance E showerheads are constructed entirely with the shower occupant in mind. After all, the rectangular format is designed ergonomically to mirror the dimensions of the shoulders and thus guarantees soothing showering pleasure over its entire breadth. The gentle spray of rain streams directly over head and shoulders, completely covering the body. For the first time an overhead shower also offers a choice of two different jet types.</p>
