We have now finished the two bathrooms we were working on, both the shower room, and luxury ensuite. Happily our clients are very very happy with both projects. The bathroom is one of the favourite places to relax, and our client with the new ensuite can certainly relax in her new room, complete with Sky TV!
Full advantage needs to be taken of all the lighting possibilities for the bathroom. There are now contemporary and modern light fittings available, not only the plain flushes of old.
You do need to bear in mind regulations. The bathroom is split into three zones which indicate the type of fitting that can be used. Each fitting is given an IP (Ingress Protection) rating. This number indicates the level to which the fitting is sealed.
Bathroom wiring regulations were last updated in January 2008. The bathroom is now zoned 0, 1 and 2. 0 is classed as the interior of a bath or shower.
With all the new fittings available the bathroom can now be a great place to make the most of modern living. After all, we put so much effort into choosing fittings such as taps etc, so why not spend the effort on lighting as well.
