Labo wall panel
We have been selling Labo wall panels from Decos for some time now and they have proved to be very popular with our customers.
Initially we sold the 4.5 metre length panels in two colours Ultra White and Classic White, but we have have now added a new size to the range - 2.6 metres.
The new panels are £38.12 for a pack of 4 panels plus carriage. They are ideal for use on walls and ceiling and are ideal if you want to clad inside a shower cubicle without adding any extra colour to your overall bathroom design.

shower wall panel
If you are thinking of installing or upgrading a shower cubicle in your home you might want to consider installing shower wall panels in place of ceramic wall tiles.
Each shower wall panel slots into the next one using a tongue and groove system ensuring a completely waterproof surface. They are easy to fit and can work out very cheap - in fact, you can cover two walls of a standard 760mm shower cubicle for just £78.90 - all you need is two packs of Spaceline wall panels and a corner trim (the above price includes carriage)
And once the panels are up, they stay looking good for years, without any need for scrubbing, bleaching or re-grouting.

Stock Levels
Stock levels for both Grosfillex and Decos waterproof wall panelling are now back to normal following the Summer shutdowns by both manufactuers.
Although the UK importers did an excellent job of trying to pre-guess the stocks needed to see them through the shutdown, there are always one or two products that get cleaned out unexpectantly, and consequently some of the panelling orders had to go on back order.
There have all been cleared and we are all now raring to go.

Outasight - height issues
The Outasight concealed shower curtain system is suitable for use in conjunction with an overbath shower.
One problem that some people ask about is whether the unit is easy to operate if you are below average height.
Opening the unit is easy as the gas strut opens pushes the arm up automatically, and the curtain is pulled out from the middle, not the top. Shorter people sometime find it easier to close the unit while still standing in the bath, as this will give you an extra couple of inches of reach. The overall height will be 1.4mt (about 4' 6") plus the depth of your bath.

An additional, natural looking panel
We previously posted regarding panels that give a natural stone effect - one of the most popular current trends in bathroom design. We have recently added a third panel suitable for this type of scheme - Tinto Desert.
Although the above image shows the Sky Blue and Glacier options it is also available in Desert which gives an extremely pleasing, light beige stone effect.

GLACIER
Along with the Beige Stone and Naugeux Beige panels from Grosfillex there is now a comprehensive choice of panels for those looking to acheive a natural stone look in their bathroom.

Finishing Off Ceiling Cladding
A lot of our previous posts have been about ceiling cladding - and so's this one!
A couple of people have asked about coving trims to use with our ceiling cladding products. At present we do not have any of these profiles available via the web site but they are available from the manufacturers. We will be adding these to the site soon - in the meantime please get in touch by phone or e-mail if you are interested in these products.
One of the reasons we held back on coving trims is that some of them cannot be fitted to ceiling panels - they have to be used in conjunction with wall panelling. If you are not installing wall cladding this is a bit of a problem. The coving trims can be used if you remove the tab and stick it in place with adhesive, but this rather defeats the object, and you could just as easily use any other form of coving.
Grosfillex do offer a solution with their coving as it comes in two parts with the backing put in place before the ceiling cladding is fitted, and the finishing trim is clipped in place after installation.
Grosfillex's Multi-Trim can also be used as a clip on edging and, again, is a two part product, enabling the finishing profile to be fitted after the ceiling is installed.

Any colour, as long as it's white
Despite having many different colours and finishes in our range white still seems to be very popular. It is the perfect choice for use on ceilings but many customers opt for white when they come to selecting wall panelling as well.
For this reason we have quite a few different white wall and ceiling panels in our range to try and ensure we have something for everyone.
The current list of white panels include the following:

There might even be a few more added to our range soon, including different lengths of our popular Labo White panels.

Ceiling Panels
Many ceilings in older properties can prove problematic especially in bathrooms where the moist conditions can lead to damp patches or mould growth.
All of the panels sold by The Bathroom Marquee are suitable for use on ceilings but some look better than others, there is a list of panels that we think work well at the bottom of our ceiling cladding page.
If you have an older, Victorian style property some of the white panels that we offer can look a little to stark in colour, so luckily Decos produce a Classic White panel in their Labo range that is ideally suited to the sympathetic refurbishment of period style bathrooms.
There is a comprehensive section on period styling on the BBC site.

New Panelling Added
We have just added the Tinto range from Decos to our inventory.
There currently three colours in this range offered by The Bathroom Marquee: Desert, Sky Blue and Glacier.
This offers our customers a little more choice for those looking for a matt finish wall panel as most of the other panels tend to be a gloss finish.
The colours lend themselves well to the modern bathroom setting but, being matt, they are also perfectly suitable for use in other rooms around the home, as can be seen from the bedroom setting in the photo.
As with all of our wall panels they are totally waterproof and can be used in shower rooms, wet rooms and shower cubicles.

Bathroom Windows
You've installed your new suite. You've fitted out your bathroom with waterproof wall panelling. You've fitted new bathroom accessories. Now, what do you do with the window? Roller blinds? Venetian Blinds? Curtains?
There are some ideas over at UK TV Style on their "ask the expert" section.
There is also some good information on bathroom window dressing on Creating Better Homes with the article "window ideas for bathrooms"
When using our decorative wall panelling in bathrooms you might have enough off-cuts left over to line the window reveals but it is always worth allowing at least one extra panel for this (you will also need an external corner trim for the joint between the walls and the the reveal).
Any blinds, curtains or screen that you then put up can be fixed through the panels using one of the fixing methods shown in our installation section.

Concealed Shower Curtain System
We have just finished a complete revamp of the Outasight section of our web site, now branded as a concealed shower curtain system.
The initial landing page now has images of a white Outasight displayed on some of our Ambiance White Wood bathroom cladding.
The image on the left shows exectly how neat the Outasight is once installed, with the right hand image showing the neatly stowed shower curtain.
All of the pages have had a "makeover" with plenty of new images added to try and give potential customers a better view of this amazing product in action.

Bathroom and Kitchen Expo
I attended the Bathroom and Kitchen Expo show at the Excell Centre in London's Docklands last week.
Overall it was a bit of a disappointment, as there was nothing that really caught my attention. I think the main problem is that there are just too many of these events and the cost to exhibitors is too high. You therefore just tend to get the big, market leading companies displaying with many of the samller (and usually more interesting) exhibitors shying away.
As usual most of the displays looked exactly the same with everybody opting for the clean/geometric/organic/stone/white look although I did hear a new word used to describe this attractive but rather bland trend - volcanic(?)
Although there were quite a few bathroom and shower manufactureres displaying their wares bathroom wall and flooring manufacturers were thinner on the ground.
All in all not the most successful of days out but you have to attend these events just in case you miss out on something!

Bathroom Colour
Your choice of bathroom colour might not just be dictated by the overall look you are trying to acheive - psychology might also play a part in your colour scheme.
The BBC Web Site has a page on the psychology of colour, listing how colour can affect mood and the "feel" of a room. There are no real shocks with regard to bathroom colours - blue and lilac being singled out as the ideal choice.
Most of the current glossy images of bathrooms veer away from colour altogether with very muted shades being used in conjunction with a white bathroom suite (see our previous blog for details)

Natural Stone Effect
On a recent visit to a trade show I was only too aware that most of the bathroom displays had moved towards a more organic, natural look. The image below is typical of the design most of the manufacturers were trying to promote - natural stone effect ceramic wall tiles coupled with rounded, clean lines of the basins and the chrome heated towel rail.
There are currently two panels in our range that will help you with your bathroom design should you be looking to emulate this type of effect: Evol 2000 Beige Stone and Mineral Naugeux Beige
We hope to be adding some extra options in the near future with the addition of some more panels in our Decos range.

Outasight updates
We have made a few changes to the Outasight section of our web site.
As the Outasight is a direct replacement for shower screens and shower curtains we have including some new diagrams to illustrate the advantages of the Outasight over the traditional overbath shower barriers (as seen above). The following pages have been upgraded accordingly:

We will be closed on Tues 10th May as we will be attending the Bathroom and Kitchens Expo at the ExCel centre in London.
Please leave a message on our answering service or via e-mail and we will get straight back in touch with you on Wednesday.
There are a lot of exhibitors this year as can be seen from the exhibitor list (it looks as if this is now seen as the premier bathroom event in the calendar - I don't know if it's the same for the kitchen industry).
We will give a brief outline of how the event went next week.

Labo White bathroom wall and ceiling cladding
We have just added Labo White to our range of decorative wall and ceiling cladding.
This is a a flush fitting panel that is available online in 4.5 mt lengths making it ideal for use on ceilings as there tends to be lest waste with the longer length planks.
At present the product page for Labo White only has the 4.5mt length available but we hope to add to this in the near future by offering the cladding in 2.7mt and 6mt lengths.
Labo White is available in two different shades: Ultra White and Classic White. We have not offered large scans of these panels as they just show up as plain white screens. To help with the selection process we have described the two colours. Ultra White is a bright gleaming white - ideal for use on ceilings if you you have white ceramic tiles. If you have opted for a more organic look in your bathroom such as a limestone effect tile or cladding, Ultra white can be a little too glaring, in which case you should opt for the Classic White finish.
Both panels are available in a gloss finish.
