While showers are undoubtedly becoming more popular in bathroom renovations, you still can't beat the luxury of a tub on a chilly evening (even if they do take up more floorspace), and they are definitely more practical if you have a young family. Whether you love a long soak or prefer a relaxing shower, there's an option out there for you. Take the plunge for your bathroom reno, with a little advice from us.
The HEAT is on

This means that the required heat input is much less, thus lowering running costs the homeowner.' ASHLEY COOPER, Marketing Director at Triton Showers
