Challenge the Norm with a Prefabricated Complete Shower Cubicle

When building a new home or revamping your bathroom, it will be wise to think outside the box. The usual bathroom takes ages to complete; there is waterproofing to be done, the tiles have to set, plastering has to be completed, and then the bathroom components have to be installed. All of this means quite a lengthy construction process. If you are willing to challenge the norm a little, you can save time, money and effort with a complete shower cubicle which forms part of a complete pre-fabricated bathroom unit.

You can order the whole bathroom to measure from GEZA, and it will be manufactured to the highest standard and can be installed in a jiffy! All the sanitary ware, fittings and fixtures are included in the unit, and the layout of each bathroom can be customised to the bathroom space available. Because our products are made in the controlled environment of our factory, we are able to apply strict quality control, and this ensures that our products and workmanship can be guaranteed for at least one year.

People often have pre-conceived notions about pre-fabricated units that include a complete shower cubicle and other sanitary ware, and, admittedly, in the past they were not very attractive or long-lasting. Over the last ten years, technology has improved and new ways of developing highly attractive and reliable prefabricated bathroom have been developed. Nowadays, the variety is diverse and good looking, highly functional and waterproof. There is a wide range to choose from too – they are made in virtually any shape, colour, texture or finish, and can be designed to make the most of all the space available in your bathroom. Why not cut out the time and hassle of construction, plastering and waterproofing by simply investing in a complete shower cubicle?

Need a No-Hassle Shower Installation? Choose this Waterproof Shower Supplier!

Showers can often be a little tedious and time consuming to get right. One of the most important aspects of building or installing a new shower is to make it waterproof. If the waterproofing is not done perfectly, water will leak into the bathroom or into the cavities or materials underneath the shower, and this can bring about all kinds of problems such as damp, fungi and bad odours. Waterproofing a shower can also take time – you have to wait for the cement to dry, then tile over that, and then the silicone waterproofing can be applied, and each step takes time!

Make the Most of your Bathroom Space by Choosing GEZA Shower Units

If you are building a new bathroom or if you are in the process of remodelling an older bathroom, you are probably looking for some great ideas to make the bathroom look as good as possible. If the bathroom is small, this could be a challenge! There are, however, some things you can do to save space – such as choosing the right shower units to make the most of the available space. Small bathrooms are not always a bad thing; they can be made to look very charming and you can add a lot of character if you decorate well.

Of course, one of the most important things that you must think of when building or remodelling a small bathroom is the layout. To make the most of the space available, carefully consider where the bathroom components, such as the shower unit, bath, basin and toilet are placed to enable reasonable movement around the room without being obstructed. Fortunately, there are some companies that specialise in the manufacturing of compact shower units of all kinds of shapes and sizes, and these can be used in just about any small bathroom space.

Shower units for smaller spaces will typically include corner units that fit snugly into the corner while still providing ample space for movement around and inside the cubicle. If you cannot fit in a bath and a shower, it is possible to get a smaller bath with a shower, and this makes the bathroom even more practical and more functional.

At GEZA, we specialise in the creation of shower units for smaller bathrooms. There are several advantages associated with the installation of our shower units from GEZA – they take up very little space, they come in a wide range of styles, colours and materials, and you can choose the most suitable size and shape for your bathroom. This will allow you to have a pleasurable shower experience in your small, yet stylish bathroom. The enclosures are designed to be highly accommodating and we have a range of great options available. You can, for instance, choose your own shower head, so if you crave a high-power shower to give you a good massage after a busy day, we can make this happen. If you prefer a softer touch, our rain shower heads are just what you need.

Another factor to consider when it comes to shower units is the price. At GEZA, we provide our products at very reasonable prices and, as a result, our bathroom units are installed in many different building developments and projects around the country – ranging from modern high rises to communal security estates.

Your Easy Guide to Choosing Shower Enclosures and Shower Cabins

It can be very exciting to update your bathrooms with new fittings, fixtures, and even some brand-new, modern shower enclosures or shower cabins! Making up your mind can be difficult, as an impressive range is available to choose from, and the large variety of different types and styles can leave one feeling a little bewildered. You will find large walk-in showers, wet rooms, smaller shower cabins, showers with swinging doors, shower cabins with sliding doors, and shower baths, and they all come with their own pros and cons. It is good to have some sort of guide or reference to help you make an informed choice. Remember that, once the shower has been installed, it will probably be there for quite a while, and it has to be easy to live with and nice to look at while still making the best of the space that has been allocated to it!

Here are some guidelines you may want to follow when choosing the right shower for your bathroom:

• How much space is available in the bathroom? The type and size of shower you choose will largely be determined by the amount of space that is available for it. If there is a lot of space, a walk-in shower may be your preferred option but, if space is at a premium and you prefer an enclosed shower that is easy to install, you may want to consider a small, pre-made shower cabin. Shower cabins can easily be made beforehand, and there are usually some of these available “off the shelf” from a good bathroom supplier. The door can also be an issue – a swing door will work well if there is space for it to open and close, otherwise a sliding door is recommended. The side to which a swinging or sliding door opens can also be an issue, so ensure that the door opens to the correct side! If space is really tight, you may want to consider turning the bathroom into a wet room by combining the shower with the whole bathroom, or with a larger section of the bathroom.

 

• Position of the shower: Deciding which part of the bathroom to allocate to the shower enclosure can be difficult, and good bathroom planning is required. The help of a professional may be needed in order to find new and creative solutions to your bathroom layout challenges. The position of the shower will dictate which type and style of shower you need and, of course, the plumbing has to be in position. If you are installing a new shower in the place of an old one, you may be able to use the existing plumbing, which can save money and time.

 

• The type of enclosure material: Many shower enclosures are glass, but some shower cabins are made of high-quality Perspex or other hardy materials that are easy to clean and just as attractive as glass. Tempered glass can provide privacy, while still letting in light, and safety glass is highly recommended for all showers and wet rooms where all the surfaces tend to be wet a lot of the time. It is also best to get glass that is edge protected – this protects the edges of the glass from chips and nicks. The framing around the doors should also provide adequate protection and support for the glass in the shower cabin and shower door.

 

• Do you need a shower tray? There are a lot of beautiful showers that do not need shower trays, but often a shower tray is the best option, as it limits the spilling of water into the bathroom. Shower cabins with trays are typically made to fit shower doors, which means that the doors seal better and prevent water from escaping from the shower and tray. It is advisable to choose shower cabins that already have a door attached for the best results.

 

• Tiles or no tiles? A shower does not have to be tiled. If you look at the variety of shower cabins available at GEZA, you will find that there are shower cabins that are fully enclosed, which means that they can be installed without the hassle of tiling. Because our range of shower cabins already includes a tray, it is also not necessary to tile the bottom of the shower to make it more waterproof.

Things to Consider When You Need a Shower for Wooden Floors

Many surfaces are considered ideal to install showers on, but a timber floor is not one of them. While many buildings in Europe have wooden floors, the floors of bathrooms have in most cases been changed to accommodate showers. Because timber absorbs moisture, swells, gets damp, and rots, wood is not really recommended in most cases. Technological advances brought us new ways to deal with this issue, for those of you who need to place showers on wooden floors. While they would normally not always make for a good combination, there are ways to deal with this apparent contradiction in terms and, if you do it right, you can install a shower that will work well on a timber floor for a long time.

One of most practical ways to install a shower on a wooden floor is to invest in a shower cubicle that is pre-made and can be installed as a complete kit into the space allocated to the shower. Because the shower tray sits on top of the floor, the water is caught and automatically directed to the drain, and no additional waterproofing is required for the floor underneath the shower. One of the trends that have become very popular over the last decade is to install a wooden floor in the shower. This seems rather unconventional and out of place to some, but with all the new products and technology out there, some very practical ways have been found to make showers and wooden floors more compatible. Of course, the treatment of the wood or timber in the shower area is crucial, and the type of wood also has a big influence on how long this unconventional marriage is likely to last. Mostly, wooden floors are chosen for their smart appearance and for the visual impact that a designer shower has when set in the surrounding timber décor.

It is quite common for saunas to be made entirely from wood but, because there is no running water and little moisture in a sauna, this is easier to manage. Steam rooms, on the other hand, are usually made completely of marble, cement, or other materials that are impervious to moisture. One of the best ways to go about it if you need to install showers on wooden floors is to find a ready-made, modular shower cubicle complete with a door and shower tray.

Modular (Pre-Fabricated) Showers

If you have a wooden floor in your home and you have no idea how to properly install a shower in such an environment that will be safe, attractive, and waterproof (and will not damage your timber floor), a modular shower is you best option. Because the shower cabin is prefabricated, it is designed to contain water and function as an independent unit. This means that it can be installed safely on virtually any floor surface, including timber. If you need a shower for wooden floors, a modular shower is by far the most cost-effective and practical choice! The plumbing is easy to do, the shower can be installed quickly and easily, the shower cabin and door are easy to clean, and you are guaranteed of years of use. One of the other main benefits is that these showers can fit into smaller spaces, so if you have to install a shower in a cabin with a small bathroom, this will be your most practical option.

Practical New Shower Units for Your Temporary Staff Quarters or Student Housing

If you are in the construction or mining industry and you must set up quality temporary housing for your employees who have to live on site, you may find that it can be difficult to find an ablution solution that fit the bill. After a long day, your workers need a soothing shower, but they are often confined to cabins or smaller temporary lodgings for the duration of the building project. Bathrooms can be small, yet it is important to provide them with the comfort of being able to freshen up comfortably, and to have practical ablutions that can easily be installed in smaller spaces.

We provide new shower units and other bathroom and kitchen units for construction companies that construct lodgings for workers, whether temporarily or permanently. We believe that quality is very important and, as a result, we go all-out to ensure that we employ the best practices, materials, and designs. As one of the main suppliers of bathroom and kitchen units sold in this market, we pride ourselves on our workmanship and the ease of installation of our products.

We always ensure that our products are highly functional and robust, and with some creative thinking, we can come up with some innovative modifications to ensure that our products work well and fit in wherever they are employed, regardless of how tight the space is. Our shower cubicles are generally prepacked in a flat pack and ready to be installed with ease just about anywhere.

How to Choose the Perfect Vanity Unit for Small Spaces

Just because your bathroom is small does not mean it has to be dingy or neglected when it comes to choices of furniture. Everybody knows that a bathroom is more than just functional – it is now seen as a place where people can relax after a long day, and most people regard their bathrooms (however small) as their own personal space. Small bathrooms may be a bit more challenging to furnish in a way that makes them beautiful and comfortable, while still remaining practical and easy to use. One of the most important things in the bathroom is obviously the vanity because this provides storage for a variety of things needed in the room.

Choosing a vanity unit for small spaces may be difficult, but the options increase when you come up with some creative ideas. Here we provide you with some great tips on choosing the best vanity unit for small spaces without compromising on comfort or functionality.

• Don’t leave gaps: There is no rule that says that your vanity should not touch your bath. If your basin is located next to the bath, by all means use a vanity unit that you can butt up against the bath. This will not only also provide extra storage that you can reach while sitting in the bath, but it also makes cleaning a lot easier. If the bath has a shower unit, set up the vanity at the tap end and install a shower screen. What’s not to like?

 

• Put it on the wall: One of the newest industry trends when it comes to vanity units for small bathrooms is to mount the vanity unit on the wall. This makes the room look and feel bigger, and the vanity can be set up against the wall where it will not take up additional floor space. Even a shallow wall mounted vanity can be hugely practical, while still providing the clean and uncluttered look you need in your bathroom.

 

• Use the whole wall: One of the most practical ways to get the storage you need without compromising on floor space is to deck the length of a wall with the vanity unit. A shallow, mirrored cabinet that is the length (or most of the length) of the wall will not only create a vast amount of storage, but the mirrors will also make the room look bigger.

 

• Put the taps on the wall: If you need all the floor space you can use, it may be a good idea to install your taps on the wall and selecting a shallower basin that fits flush against the wall underneath the taps. Then you can fit a shallower vanity unit for small spaces underneath the basin. You will be surprised how much more floor space you can get from a few inches!

 

• Use a different shape: Often, a corner unit that is round in front or a triangular shape that fits flush against the wall in a corner can do wonders when it comes to choosing a vanity unit for small spaces. If your vanity can fit tightly into a corner and still provide the storage you need while preserving floor space, you are onto a winner!

 

• Custom build a vanity unit: You are not always restricted to vanities that you can buy on the market. It is indeed possible to have a vanity custom-built to meet your needs and to fit the dimensions of the bathroom. There are often smaller spaces available that could be useful, and finding vanity units for spaces this small could be very difficult. This means that you can get a good carpenter to create special shelving or a vanity that could make very effective use of the little space available in the bathroom.

 

One of the most practical solutions when it comes to a vanity unit for small spaces is provided by our team at GEZA. Because we specialise in providing bathrooms and units particularly for small spaces and smaller bathrooms, our products are geared towards maximum storage capacity and space saving. We have a wide range of products you can choose from and we will come and install your vanity or entire bathroom for you in a jiffy!

Why You Should Consider Installing a Modular Bathroom

If you are currently building a new home or considering a new bathroom, you will have a choice between building a bathroom from scratch or fitting a modular bathroom. There are major differences between these two, and here we look at some of the reasons why you should choose a modular bathroom.

What is a Modular Bathroom?

People are often unclear as to what exactly a modular bathroom is, so they tend to think that it is a temporary bathroom structure that is used to provide ablution facilities on a temporary basis. While some modular bathrooms can be used like this, the more commonly used modular bathrooms consist of a pre-fabricated bathroom kit that is installed as a whole. Many housing projects, building developments and other industries are now choosing the convenience and cost-effective options that modular bathrooms offer.

Benefits of a Modular Bathroom

When you build a bathroom, and especially a small one, modular bathrooms provide many different benefits. Because the bathroom units and other components are pre-made, they are easy and fast to install. They are usually assembled within a short space of time, and because the components are all constructed and added off-site, there is a much lower chance of theft of bathroom fittings and fixtures on-site.

When looking at bathrooms from a building contractor’s viewpoint, it becomes obvious that they are the favourites of the construction industry. The modular bathroom can be designed especially for a space and then created off-site by a modular bathroom specialist factory. This comes in very handy where a lot of units are built in a particular building or construction development, because standard units can be designed and installed quickly and easily. This means that the building contractor will spend less time on building the bathroom and more on the supervision of the installation instead.

Another great advantage is that all the electrical and plumbing installations are already done, which means that no additional expertise from plumbers and electrical contracts is needed during the installation process. Off-site building means that the construction and design is more cost-effective and better for the environment. The installation can take place in a very short space of time – as little as 2 hours in some cases – and the separate parts of the modular bathroom are designed to fit through any standard door opening. Construction experts like using modular bathrooms instead of custom-built bathrooms, because they allow for fast and easy construction, which means less delays and scope creep on building projects, especially where are number of units have to be built in a short space of time.

Pre-made does not mean that the bathroom has to be restricted by a standard design, and the customer is able to still design the layout and the bathroom according to their own wishes and tastes. Modular bathrooms are usually constructed from lightweight materials, such as fibreglass with some steel additions, and this provides a wonderful array of choices and options when it comes to the look and functionality of the bathroom. There are standard templates to choose from, so if you are not a fan of designing your own bathroom or would like the bathroom to be functional within a short space of time, it is possible to find a standard design that you know will work in the space you have available.

Consistency in standard is also a great advantage – when you invest in a modular bathroom you know that it is built according to certain standards and that some requirements are already taken care of; for instance, modular bathrooms have to be totally waterproof. By the time the bathroom set arrives on the site, rigorous waterproofing and testing have already taken place and the customer can rest assured that the bathroom will perform well. The materials that are used in the design and manufacture of modular bathrooms are also easy to clean, and yet they are hardy and difficult to damage or stain.

If you are renovating or building a new bathroom, you should consider the smart choice. Modular bathrooms are not only much more cost-effective than custom-built bathrooms, but they are also more waterproof and easy to install. Don’t make the mistake of confusing cheap, nasty bathrooms made of inferior materials with modular bathrooms! The new types of models include high-quality materials, such glass and other bathroom surfaces that provide a luxurious feel to your brand new modular bathroom.

If you would like to find out more about modular bathrooms and how they can benefit you, give our team at GEZA a call. We would be only too happy to discuss our wide range of options with you!

3 Top Tips on Choosing Shower Cabins for Your New Bathroom

There are so many different styles and makes of shower cabins out there that you are properly spoilt for choice when choosing shower cabins or cubicles for your new bathroom! We all know, though, that with a wide range of choices it can be hard to decide on the right thing, and this can become frustrating.

When it comes to shower cubicles, you have to factor in a few things, such as practicality, the space available, the look and feel of the bathroom, and the location of the shower. Nowadays, with modern plumbing, it is possible to install a shower cubicle almost anywhere in the bathroom, and you have to find the right shower cabins for the allocated spaces. One of the most important factors is usually how much space you have available, and whether you prefer to design a bathroom from scratch, or whether you prefer a modular bathroom.

In order to avoid mistakes when choosing the right shower cabin for your bathroom, we provide you with some handy tips to make the decision a little easier and more practical.

 

1. Understand your style: We all have our own ideas about how our bathrooms should look and feel. Style is an individual choice, and you have to find shower cabins that reflect your own sense of style and taste. If a freestanding shower is more to your taste, then focus on the shower cabins that fit in with your style and colour scheme. Often white or cream is the best choice because it creates the impression of light and cleanliness, and you can change the colour scheme throughout the bathroom by adding soft furnishings such as curtains, blinds, bathmats, and towels in the colour of your choice. It also means that once you tire of a particular colour or shade, that you can change it quite easily without having to make major changes to the bathroom which may even cost you an arm and a leg.

 

2. Choose right for the space: If the bathroom is a reasonable size you will have a wider choice of shower cabins, but if your bathroom is small, you will have to choose well! Making the most of the space available is crucial in small bathrooms because they have to be fully functional, yet also comfortable and easy to use. If you are really short of space, you can choose to install a bath shower, or if you choose to forego the bath, you will have more space for a shower cabin of your choice.

 

3. Get the right door: If you are short of space it is best to use a sliding door, and if you have more space available you have to ensure that the door can open and close easily without banging into the surrounding bathroom units or vanities. If you choose to install a bath shower it is easy to create a cubicle with a curtain rail and shower curtain, but these are a little old fashioned nowadays, and there are wonderfully modern bath shower cabins available on the market.

 

If you are looking for a great range of contemporary, practical shower cabins for your new bathroom, give our team at GEZA a call. We will help you to find the perfect shower that you will be able to enjoy for years to come!

Looking for a Great-Looking, Yet Affordable Basin Cabinet for Your Bathroom?

If you are currently renovating your bathroom or busy building a new home with a brand-new bathroom, you will be in the market for a good basin cabinet, or also known as a bathroom vanity. A basin cabinet is there to support the basin and to provide storage underneath it, and it can also serve as a means to hide unsightly plumbing and pipes that provide water for the basin. A good basin cabinet can change the look of a bathroom, and perform a multitude of functions. The basin cabinet can have a huge influence on how the bathroom is perceived and what the particular style of the bathroom is. Here are some ideas you can use when choosing a basin cabinet for your bathroom.

If you are a fan of a vintage or antique look, you can find cabinet, bedside table, or a similar piece of second-hand furniture that you can update and repurpose. Often, people use taller night stands or dressing tables to serve as a basin cabinet in the bathroom, and it is possible to cut out the shape of the basin in the wood to create a holistic and thoroughly blended look. It is, however, often difficult to pair a modern basin with a vintage basin cabinet, and while this can be done quite successfully, you will need some good advice when it comes to which pieces to pair with your basin.

If you have a good supplier on your side, you can have easy access to great advice and a wide range of bathroom furniture and products that will give your bathroom all the beauty and functionality you need. This is where we come in. At GEZA, we specialise in providing our clients with an outstanding range of bathroom cabinets, baths, shower cubicles, basins, toilets, and other pieces that will turn your bathroom into the luxurious little dreamland you deserve. Not only do we love the products we sell, we also fully trust in the functionality and longevity of the items we stock.
