We are always pleased when people thank us for our excellent service. Good service used to be the rule in this country wheras now it seems to be the exception.
We were therefore extremely impressed with the services of a local firm, Protex Security Sysytems, when we needed an emergency call-out for our alarm system. Not only did they fix the problem on the spot, they arrived within half an hour (as promised) and carried out some extra work - all for a very reasonable call-out fee.
So it looks like there are other firms out there that value the benefit of providing good service - it's just a pity that there aren't a few more.

Spaceline and Labo panels temporarily out of stock
Decos Spaceline Beige and Labo 4.5mt panels will be out of stock until 14th November.
The rest of the Spaceline panelling range is unnafected (Silver grey, Blue & Rose) as are 2.6mt lengths of Labo white panels (both Ultra White and Classic White)
The shortage has been caused by a sudden increase in demand and a delayed delivery due to a bank holiday on the continent.

Decos Magic range of wall panels added
We have just added the Magic range from Decos to our growing list of wall panel products.
There are three colours to choose from: white, grey and black. The black panel, in particular can make a very dramatic statement, especially if used as a contrast in a contained area - such as a shower cubicle.
The panels are 250mm wide and are 2.7mm long. They are available in packs of four priced at £53.56 per pack (at time of this post)
Visit our website for more information on the Magic range

100% design
We attended the recent 100% Design exhibition in Earls Court to see the latest ideas from the design world.
The exhibition was not purely targetting the building industry but featured design ideas from all market sectors making for an interesting show.
One of the items that stood out that was actually from the bathroom industry was a flat sided perspex bath that gave the impression of a continuous line (click image below for expanded view).
This is a simple yet elegant example of bathroom design at its very best.
Other interesting ideas were wall panelling made from recyled plastic, in which the type and colour of the items recycled form the pattern of the panel, wooden baths and teak wall tiles.

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:

- Labo Classic White

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.
