| Daintiths Barn, Appleton, Warrington - Master
En-suite Wet Room Most people would consider the old
bathroom pictured below to be of an excellent standard and
definitely not in need of replacement.
However, the room wasn't as practical as it appears - the large
whirlpool bath consumed the majority of the room and yet was rarely
used and yet the shower which was used frequently, was by comparison
tiny.
This and some other niggles with the room and it's ability to
serve our busy professional client's needs meant they felt compelled
to renovate the room to ensure that they were getting the best from
it.
Creation of a colossal wet-area (1.2m2/4ft2) and building in of a
whirlpool bath ensure that they now have the best of both worlds.
A fresh set of vanity units including large full length mirror with
lit pelmet ensure storage with a stylish appearance. Finally
the room part tiled using a stone effect porcelain tile in 3 sizes
intermixed make the room feel stylish and luxurious.
