Choosing the Most Suitable Shower Cubicle for Your Bathroom

There are so many different shower enclosure options on the market these days and there is something to fit a bathroom of any size and shape. There are so many to choose from, like walk-in cubicles, over-bath units, and standalone cubicles. However, you have to find the shower cubicle that will complement your bathroom and the other units perfectly and make the bathroom easy and comfortable to use.

A shower cubicle that is too big will limit space in the bathroom, and one that is too small may be very inconvenient to use. The plumbing also has to suit the type of shower you choose. You need to know what your requirements are before you choose a shower cubicle, and, to avoid mistakes, we provide you with some top tips on how to choose the best shower cubicle for your bathroom:

• Style: We all know the traditional shower, the one with a tiled square brick tray and a shower curtain or glass panels. These are entirely functional, but nowadays, there are so much more to choose from, like:
  • Recessed shower: This is usually an enclosure between two walls and can work very well in a medium to small bathroom. It can be fitted with a sliding door to maximise space, or even a pivoted door. Quadrant shower cubicles can also save a lot of space. These are in the shape of a quarter circle and are perfect for corners. These usually have one or two sliding panels to make the shower easier to access without limiting the space in the bathroom.
  • Walk-in shower: Walk-in and walk-through showers have increased in popularity. These are more like a wet room than a cubicle and allow a person to walk in and out without any boundaries, like glass walls or shower curtains. They require little maintenance and are easy to clean; in addition, they are safe to use for all ages. Nowadays, it is becoming more important to have homes fit for all ages. You should have a shower that is safe for anyone to use, regardless of age, and this includes showers for frail, aged people. They also allow you to utilise the space in the bathroom better and there are no boundaries, such as doors and shower curtains.

 

• Doors are important: When choosing a shower cubicle, you have to find the type of door that will best suit your space requirements and preferences:
  • Hinges: These swing open into the space of the room, and it is important to think about this when planning the bathroom. It is possible to save space with a sliding door, but a hinged door gives you more space to access the shower.
  • Pivoting doors: A pin mechanism allows the shower door to rotate, and opens outwards, while not taking up as much space as a hinged door, because part of the door swings back into the shower cubicle.
  • Bi-folding doors: A very good choice for limited space, these doors comprise a number of glass panels, one of which is fixed to the shower, and other panels are mounted on hinges.
  • Sliding doors: Usually, these consist of a few glass panels that slide over each other to clear a space for entry and exit of the shower cubicle. Because there is no clearance required for a door to swing open, this is an ideal choice for tiny bathrooms where there is very little space.

 

• Quality: One of the best ways to check the quality of a shower door or cubicle is to check the thickness of the glass. A thicker glass will cost more, but it will feel more substantial. Often shower cubicle doors are made of very lightweight glass to save costs, and a lot of these can be quite flimsy and fragile. Enquire from your supplier about the strength of the glass and/or any guarantees that may be offered. Another way to determine the quality of the shower cubicle door is to check the hinges, the runners and the wheels – get into the shower and check this out. The smoother the movements, the better!

Seven Awesome Small Bathroom Renovation Ideas

One of the best things you can do to give your home a more modern and cleaner look is to update your bathrooms and kitchen. Everyone loves a luxurious and practical bathroom where you can relax and unwind after a long day, and it becomes a sanctuary of sorts for a lot of people. Not everyone, however, has the luxury of a large bathroom, and when you do renovate or update the look of a small bathroom, it is important to use a few tricks to make the bathroom more practical and to look more spacious than it actually is. We provide some great small bathroom renovation ideas to make your bathroom your favourite room:

 

1. Be shrewd about storage: Instead of the usual cupboards and cabinets, find quirky ways to create storage. Create open shelving above the door frame to store towel rolls, remove anything large from the floor and wall areas, and use floating shelves. Hide cleaning products behind sink skirts, or hang wooden crates on the wall for storage. Using storage ladders also eliminates the need for towel rails.

 

2. Maximise functionality: In a small space, it is vital that the room can function properly. Because a small bathroom can look cluttered so quickly, only the crucial elements that support functionality must be incorporated. Don’t add items that serve no purpose. To make the most of the functionality, while still making the space attractive, use glass storage jars for cotton wool or swabs, and make the most of the space under the sink by installing a basket or hamper. To maximise counter space, put toiletries away instead of leaving them out. Roll up towels and store them on a floating shelf or basket, instead of folding and stacking them – this makes them easier to store and easier to reach when needed.

 

3. Use colour wisely: The palette you use can make all the difference in a small space. In a bathroom, it is advisable to stick to neutral and lighter colours that can create a more spacious ambience. Instead of painting an accent wall in a darker colour, use a light colour and use a different paint technique to create a different texture. White or off-white are practical colours, because it is possible to change the décor and ambience of the bathroom with soft furnishings. Also remember that your bathroom should have a calm and peaceful effect, so stick to neutral colours and keep the lines clean. You can be daring by adding pops of colour with your towels, rugs, or mats.

 

4. Install a large mirror: This is an age-old trick – because it reflects the image of the bathroom, it makes the space look bigger. Large vanity mirrors, or even a full-length wall mirror, can create the perception of a much larger room.

 

5. Avoid shower curtains: A shower curtain can make the space look smaller. Opt for a modern glass door or divider instead – not only are these easier to keep clean and tidy, but they also create a perception of space. If installing a glass door or divider is not an option, keep shower curtains light and airy, perhaps even transparent. If the ceiling is high, hang the shower curtain all the way from the ceiling to emphasise overhead height.

 

6. Maximise light: Often smaller bathrooms have smaller windows, which is why you must be clever when it comes to making the most of the available light, and to install lighting in a way that will add a sense of space. Install a mirror on the opposite wall to the window to let the light reflect through the space and increase the lighting in the room. When it comes to installing lighting, you have to put the most light in the areas that matter. Mimic the natural light outside by using warmer, sunny tones when it comes to lightbulbs.

 

7. Use a smaller toilet: Nowadays toilets come in all shapes and sizes, and in a small bathroom, a toilet can take up a lot of space. If possible, install a smaller toilet to maximise space around the toilet and on the bathroom floor. Also store items such as scales and dustbins above ground level to maximise floor space.

How Complete Shower Units Can Make the Most of Your Small Bathroom

If you are in the process of updating the look of your property, you will probably already know that the best places to start is the bathroom and the kitchen. Installing new complete shower units and throwing out all the old-fashioned tiles and other décor can transform your bathroom. Instead of having the old bath and shower with a shower curtain, why not make the most of your small bathroom by installing a modern complete shower unit? This is especially true if you have a small bathroom. Nowadays, so many apartments are smaller than the ones built in the fifties and sixties, and the modern flats in cities tend to maximise the smaller floor space by compromising on the size of their bathrooms.

People tend to underestimate how important selecting the right shower unit can be. Because a shower is usually used at least once a day, some serious thought should be given to the needs of the people using the shower, and a suitable shower unit should be chosen. In small bathrooms, it is vital that the shower remains as functional as possible. Here are some tips when it comes to choosing the most suitable complete shower unit for your bathroom.

 

• Maximise available space: There are a lot you can do to take advantage of literally every square centimetre of floorspace. Installing a complete shower unit saves a lot of space. A good corner unit can provide you with a bigger shower while still making great use of the available floorspace. Just because space is limited, it should not stifle your creativity, and finding a good supplier of great bathroom and complete shower units is paramount.

 

• Keep colours light: If you stick to light colours, it creates an illusion of space. The most practical solution is to stick to white or off-white. These colours are not only associated with cleanliness, but it is also possible to update the look of the bathroom or adding splashes of colour by just changing the soft furnishings, such as towels, toilet covers, and bathroom mats. A dark bathroom will look smaller, and even with the best and most compact complete shower unit in the world, it could still end up looking small and dingy with the wrong colours.

 

• Get a modern shower stall: Bye to the old and in with the new! Those brick shower cubicles with the shower curtain should go. Instead, find a modern, sleek shower unit with a glass door or divider to make the space look bigger. At GEZA, you will find a range of modern complete shower units that will look great in any bathroom – big or small – and a variety of designs that will allow you to find the best shape of shower stall.

 

• Use mirrors: It is a well-known fact that using a mirror to reflect light (and the rest of the room) can vastly increase the perception of space. Bathrooms are no exception, and full-length mirrors in the shower or against a wall, or a large vanity mirror added in the right location and at the right height, can change the look of the bathroom completely.

 

• Clever lighting: Lighting can make or break a room, and nowadays there are so many fantastic lighting concepts out there than it is much easier than it used to be to choose the right lighting. Experts recommend that you enlist the services of a professional to come and do your lighting and to make the most of the space you have in your bathroom and your shower unit.

 

• Carefully choose showerheads: Low-quality showerheads often get blocked easily. Get a high-quality shower that will eliminate the need for constant cleaning of the showerhead, and your showering experience will be a lot more pleasant for a lot longer.

 

• Safety first: It is vital to get a mixer tap, especially if the shower is used by children. A good mixer tap will largely prevent scalding and have a temperature control that is easy to operate by everyone.

Five Tips for Choosing Basins for Bathrooms

If your home needs an upgrade, one of the best ways is to upgrade the bathroom and kitchen. It can this be a cost-effective way to make your property look more modern and increase its value. A coat of paint, perhaps a new floor, a few tiles, and new taps and basins for bathrooms can add value at minimal cost. One of the first things people look at when deciding whether to purchase a property is the state of the bathroom.

There is a bewildering variety of taps and basins for bathrooms out there. You cannot afford to make bad choices, as this will detract from the look of the bathroom, and perhaps even the property overall. Select carefully to find just the right hardware and bathroom basins for your bathrooms. Here we provide you with some tips from the experts on how to choose your bathroom basins and other hardware to make a real impact and to add real value:

 

1. Bathroom layout: Think about the current layout of the bathroom and decide whether this works. Are you going to change the layout or not? The layout should cater to the lifestyle of the people who live in the home. If it is the master bedroom’s bathroom, it will probably only have to cater for two people, while a family bathroom will have to be able to deal with a lot more. The guest bathroom only needs a loo and a basin and can be quite small. The location of the bathroom basin is crucial, as this can have a bearing on the style and size of basin you choose. You should also consider what is above the basin – if there are any vanity cupboards above the sink, damage may result if you have a fine glass basin and something falls out of the vanity cupboard. All these things need to be looked at before deciding on the most suitable basins for your bathrooms.

 

2. Bathroom size: The size of your basin will depend on how much space you have available for your basin, and the amount of storage and cupboard space you need. You can choose a basin that sit atop a cabinet for storage, or if you have ample storage elsewhere, you can opt for a freestanding or floating basin.

 

3. Style: The style of the basin will also be influenced by the layout and size of the bathroom, and its style should reflect the overall look of the bathroom. Or you can decide on a style of basin first and then upgrade the bathroom according to this look. Fixtures and fittings, such as taps, also have to be in line with the image of the bathroom – combining modern fixtures with antique basins, or vice versa, will not work. There is a variety of styles and materials available, including mounted basins, basins with pedestals, above-counter basins, vessel bowls, and all-in-one countertop basins. Every type has its own benefits and disadvantages, and you have to find the most suitable basins for your bathrooms. Materials include brass, copper, ceramics, stone, glass and more – just keep in mind that the type of material the basin is made of will have a bearing on how long lasting it will be. If it has to be glass, always use the more durable tempered glass. It should also be easy to clean and maintain; for instance, stone basins will have to be sealed occasionally to prevent stains, and often stone requires specialised cleaning products.

 

4. Colour: While the seventies and early eighties were famous for vivid bathrooms, ranging from salmon pink to avocado green, the nineties and noughties brought back a trend for white or light, pastel-coloured bathrooms. The vivid colours are now back again, but in a different, more sophisticated way. If you are updating the bathroom to sell the property, stick to white, but if you want to make a statement in your own bathroom, you can find many different looks and colours that will make an impact. It is now possible to blend different colours, but exercise caution.

 

5. Height: The position of the fixtures and fittings is important. Taps must be positioned in a way that makes them easy to reach and operate. They should also fit in with the style of the basin you chose, and size matters; do not choose small taps for a large basin (or vice versa), because the proportions will be wrong. For freestanding or floating basins, it will be best to stick to wall-mounted taps.

Is it Time to Replace that Bathroom?

Okay, perhaps not your entire bathroom, but has the time come for you to replace the important things, like your tub, shower, and bathroom basin? The answer is not an easy one, and chances are that it will vary from one homeowner to the next. So, to get to the root of this, you will have to take stock of your own home and determine whether it is time to take your pick among the new bathroom basins, showers, and baths out there. Let us take a look at some of the reasons why it might be time to start bathroom shopping again.

Showers and bathtubs are some of the most prominent features of the modern bathroom. A comfortable, appealing place in which to bathe daily will boost both the aesthetics and convenience of your bathroom. After all, our bathrooms are the spaces we turn to for respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. In addition to improving safety and functionality in this space, if you are displeased with the look or function of your current bathroom, replacing certain features like the basin, shower, or tub can improve the comfort of your space while raising the value of your home. Here are a few reasons why it might be time to update your bathroom.

Your Bathroom Is Outdated

The bathtub and/or shower is usually the most visible feature of the bathroom. When they are outdated, the entire room is dated, even if you have updated other areas such as the basin, cabinetry, or vanity. If your shower or tub detracts from your bathroom’s overall appeal with an outdated design or older finish, or even with just visible wear and tear, it is time to consider replacing these features by updating and upgrading the entire space. At GEZA, our showers and tubs are modern and trendy, proving that you do not need to break the bank to get great quality. We have various options and packages to choose from, including tubs and showers with and without geyser units. You have the right to enjoy the beautiful and luxurious bathroom experience you want.

Your Bathtub or Shower is not Needed

People living in smaller homes need to best utilise every square metre of space they have at their disposal. Oftentimes, a bathroom space simply works better with just a bath, or just a shower. There are many instances when having both, or having the wrong one, will not allow you to utilise the space as effectively as you otherwise could. When this is the case, some tough decisions need to be made. Can your bathroom function well enough with just one or the other? If it has a large, bulky bath, can it operate more conveniently by replacing the tub with a compact shower? Or vice versa? Join the millions of other South African homeowners who are discovering the benefits of removing unused features in their bathrooms, and enjoying more space and comfort.

Is Your Shower or Bathtub Inconvenient?

Convenience is everything when it comes to a luxurious and enjoyable bathroom space. It should be easy and safe to use, but many older homes feature bathrooms that are poorly designed. Builders may have tried to fit too many features into a small space that cannot comfortably accommodate them, or it might just not meet your family’s needs. Be that as it may, if your current bathtub or shower configuration is inconvenient, it will limit the value and functionality of this central and key space in your home. Whether the bathtub is too deep or too short, your shower is cramped, or there is insufficient room for the hinged door to open, you deserve the best use and enjoyment from your bathroom. If you do not get that right now, then you will be hard-pressed to enjoy spending any amount of time in your bathroom.

We supply and install a unique range of bathroom and kitchen units. Our products are used in different properties, from affordable housing projects to container conversions, houses and cottages built of brick, wood, partitioning or steel. Let us help you start enjoying your bathroom again with beautiful showers, bathtubs, and basins.

Six Small Bathroom Design Ideas You Should Copy

A master bathroom with heated floors, a rainfall shower head, whirlpool tub and beautiful his-and-her basins is great for some, but oftentimes, budget and space constraints bring most of us to our senses soon enough. However, if you are dealing with a tight budget and small bathroom space, it is not reason enough to settle for anything less than ideal. You can still have a beautiful bathroom that is a pleasure to spend any amount of time in, despite these supposed constraints. Never allow your small bathroom to limit your creativity again. Plenty of homeowners have achieved amazing transformations with spaces most South Africans would consider a small bathroom. We have rounded up some of our favourite small bathroom design strategies and tips that can help you to make the most of your space, and to also make you forget how small your bathroom really is.

Brighter and Softer Colours

People are always surprised at the impact that the right colour and tone combinations can have on their bathroom spaces. When you are dealing with small bathroom design, it is usually a smart call to opt for softer and brighter colours. Aim for a sense of continuity in terms of colours with other areas of the home, especially if the bathroom is en suite to the bedroom, or if it happens to be in close proximity of the bedroom.

Make a Guest Bathroom Count

Often, small bathrooms are used as guest bathrooms. Just because it is not the master bathroom, it does not mean it cannot benefit from excellent design. You can use bead board panelling and a light taupe colour, along with something all small bathrooms need: a small basin to help maximise the space available. Pedestal sinks are especially suitable for small bathrooms, can can be incredibly handy in making the most of the space that you have at your diposal. Unlike a bathroom vanity, these small basins do not need a lot of space. While you may lose some cabinet space by not including a vanity, you gain valuable square feet with a pedestal sink.

Small Bathrooms do not have to be Dull

You do not need to play it safe and boring with small bathroom design. Let your creativity flow and if you want to explore certain themes in the bathroom, such as a nautical or rustic theme, plan it out well and go for it. You can add a small bathroom basin, tub, and a shower that fits just about any theme, and with clever design techniques, you can bring it all together without breaking the bank.

Three Benefits of Remodelling Your Cottage Bathroom and Giving it a Fresh Design

If you are considering a remodelling your cottage bathroom, there is a good chance you are focussed on the tile colour, or have grown tired of those old sink fixtures that severely date the room. Although getting a look you love is definitely a priority during a bathroom remodelling, there are other advantages to sprucing up your bathroom that you may not have considered. If you are weighing up whether or not to remodel your bathroom, consider these benefits that might just make the decision on your behalf.

Lower Utility Costs

Who does not want to minimise their reliance on Eskom and enjoy greater energy independence? Environmentally conscious homeowners may be excited to know their new bathrooms could become far more efficient than their old spaces when performing a much-needed upgrade. Technology has progressed such that low-flow taps, showers, and toilets can help to save large amounts of water over their less thrifty predecessors. They do this without sacrificing on performance. You could also save on utility costs by getting a smarter, more modern geyser, and installing eco-friendly CFL or LED bulbs that consume a fraction of the electricity that incandescent bulbs do. These can noticeably reduce you water and electricity bill.

Better Health and Wellbeing

If you have an old bathroom, you may be surprised at the amount of mildew and mould lurking in the fixtures and behind your cabinets and vanity. Even if you remain diligent about cleaning, the nature of the moisture-laden bathroom environment encourages easy growth of mildew and mould, often where you cannot even see it. Removing and replacing old fixtures means you could also remove these irritants, while enjoying a cleaner and more hygienic bathroom.

Boost Your Home’s Value

The third benefit of a modern cottage bathroom design is that, regardless of what improvements you make to your bathroom, it will have a knock-on positive effect on your home’s equity. This is because it is one of the two most important rooms of the home – aside from the kitchen – and it adds significant value to the property.

In fact, a remodel of your bathroom has the potential of being one of the most valuable home improvement projects you can undertake. Updated and modern bathrooms are highly prized by most homebuyers, providing you with the opportunity to recoup a significant amount on your investment. We supply and install small bathrooms for homes and cottages of all shapes and sizes. Contact us to learn more about our product offering, and for all the information needed to make an informed purchasing decision.

Make Your Small Bathroom Warm and Inviting in Six Simple Steps

It is possible to make every corner of your home a more comfortable place. With a bit of creativity and forethought, you can turn every room into a welcoming oasis that keeps the outside world at bay, and provides a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The bathroom in particular is a place where people turn to for luxurious self-indulgence, as they both start and end their day there. Even the most functional rooms in your home, like the bathroom, can be transformed into something wonderful. To prove this to you, we have put together a selection of some of the easiest ways in which you can remake your bathroom, and get more out of the often-limited space.

#1 Install a Corner Sink

Sometimes even a pedestal sink can impede the only available traffic lane in the bathroom. There is a simple solution to this. Placing a corner sink across from the toilet works better than a sink across from the shower. The closing and opening of the shower door normally creates an awkward walk-around condition that can be avoided if you do this.

#2 Use a Shower Curtain

The shower curtain that concertinas on a rail saves space over a glass door that hinges. A practical shower-bath combo can fit into a small space, with some baths fitting remarkably well into a smaller bathroom.

#3 Float the Bathroom Vanity

Aside from merely visually helping the bathroom to appear bigger, mounting a vanity above the floor also frees up some space for small items. It is a beautiful, stylistic approach to keeping your bathroom uncluttered, and it gives you more floor space to work with, and a more unobstructed walkway and navigation.

#4 Round the Vanity

Tight spaces can turn sharp corners into hip hazards. If the corners of a vanity would get in the way, there is an easy workaround. Simply opt for a bathroom vanity with a rounded style, because it can work extremely well in a square space. As a bonus, no more bruised hips!

#5 Extend the Counter Over the Toilet

The banjo-style arrangement can be pulled off using a wooden or stone slab. The extended counter creates just enough space for those few needed items that do not have any other storage area. Toilet placement will not be affected, and the look is minimalist and clean.

#6 Expand the Mirror

In the tightest of spaces, having a mirror stretch across the wall rather than just the vanity enables two people to use it at once, and makes the room look bigger. In very small spaces, every centimetre helps!

How to Make the Most out of Your Low-Cost Bathroom

Low cost does not necessarily equate with poor quality. You can enjoy years of reliable service from low-cost bathrooms without being bogged down with constant maintenance and repairs. What is more, with some forethought and planning, you can get the same amount of joy and pleasure out of your cheaper bathroom than someone enjoys with a much more expensive bathroom. It is all about perspective, and what you decide to do with your space. If you want to get the most out of your low-cost bathroom, there are inexpensive ways of doing so. You do not need a big budget to transform your bathroom into a relaxing space that acts as an escape from the hustle and bustle of rushed modern-day life. Let us look at how you can make the most out of your low-cost bathroom without breaking the bank.

Beautiful Tiles

Adding tiles to a bathroom is always a great way to immediately boost its ambience, but tiles can be expensive, especially when you hire a professional installer to lay them for you. To save money, limit the tiled surface area and rather than tiling both the floor and the inside of the shower stall’s walls, instead focus on the most noticeable areas. Alternatively, you can simply tile a horizontal strip along the wall, and paint the rest of the wall with a complementing colour. If you have set your heart on an expensive, artistic tile, consider using it as an accent alongside a cheaper tile. Not only will this make the artistic tile stand out more, but you also save a lot of money by only using a few tiles here and there.

Save on Countertops

A popular trend in South Africa is to splurge on granite countertops. As bathroom counters are so small, the investment may be fairly low when compared to what you would spend on a kitchen counter. So how can you save even more? Take a look at the colour. Neutral colours like brown, tan and light beige tend to be more popular, which means they also have a higher price tag. To save money, consider casting your colour net a little wider.

It is All About the Paint

If you do not have a large budget, repainting is one of the cheapest and best ways to give your low-cost bathroom a new look. A word of caution: it will always take more time than you think. Why is this? Even though your bathroom may be the smallest room in the house, you are going to have to paint slowly and carefully around the window(s), shower, sink, tub, toilet, and mirror, as well as the wall corners and the floor. This takes time and a lot of patience, so make sure you keep this in mind when planning your bathroom painting project.

Update Fixtures

Updating fixtures requires you to consider the little details. You can easily and affordably update light fixtures, sink faucets, drawer pulls, and towel racks for a relatively low investment. While these items may seem insignificant, updating them can make a huge difference to your bathroom’s look and feel.

Protect Your Bathroom with a Quality Waterproof Shower Unit

One of the biggest threats facing a property with a new shower installation is water damage. With a waterproof shower unit, you can sleep easy at night knowing that when you are enjoying the shower, you are not causing water damage to your property. It pays to make sure your shower is completely waterproofed, because water damage may go unnoticed at first.

There are many ways to waterproof a shower. Contrary to popular belief, the process does not need to be time-consuming or costly. Therefore, if you do not want to disrupt your family’s lives with a big project, or break the bank to make sure your shower has been waterproofed, you can increase the value of your home and your peace of mind without contracting expensive professional wet trades by investing in a built-in waterproof shower.

Invest in Waterproof Shower Units from GEZA

We have designed beautiful bathroom and shower units that are easy to install. These products do not require brickwork or plastering, and you can install any of them without the help of professional and expensive wet trades. Aside from supplying you with a shower unit that has already been waterproofed, we have also developed a number of other ways to provide you with even greater peace of mind.

To start with, our full-time maintenance and service team is available throughout Gauteng. They are on call for after-hour emergencies, as we know life’s happenstances do not keep office hours. We also guarantee all our products and workmanship for a minimum period of one year. After all, if we do not have confidence in our products, how can we expect you to have any?

This means that, should any work be required on your waterproof shower unit, you do not have to wait for special-order parts or supplies to be delivered.

These are but a few of the many ways in which we do our best to deliver on our promises to our customers. If you would like to learn more about us, and find out how we can help you start enjoying spending time in your kitchen and bathroom again, speak to us today. We look forward to helping you enjoy access to the best quality waterproofed shower units available on the market.
