Having visited Porcelanosa whilst shopping for their new shower room, this client came across our name on the Porcelanosa recommended fitters list.

We were asked for a few things including could the pipes be hidden which were boxed in the old room - in some large boxing we might add.  We were also asked if the "doorway" to the shower could be removed - our client was told many years ago that this was not possible as it was supporting the floor above.  Investigations by us showed this was not the case and so we proposed removing the pillars and top section to open up the shower area.

Our client selected their suite and an elaborate arrangement of tiles which suited both their styles.  A compromise between them we were led to believe but whatever the case may be we think the tiling work is stunning as a result of the mix of colour and type.

The ceiling was initially clad with high gloss uPVC panelling but our client was not 100% happy with this as a finish (we have found some people love it and others hate it - there doesn't seem to be an in-between) so we removed the cladding and plastered the ceiling ready to receive decoration.

All in all, we think you will agree this is a stunning and vibrant room.

AWI helped design & installed this bathroom.

From start to finish the job included:

• Removal of the existing suite, wall & floor covering
• Demolition of the "supporting wall"
• Re-plumbing including cutting into the floor to conceal the shower tray waste and cutting into the walls to conceal the supply pipe-work
• Walls plaster-boarded ready for tiling
• Installation of white gloss PVC panelling on the ceiling and subsequent plastering of the ceiling
• Installation of 2 * IPX4 SELV halogen downlighters
• Walls fully tiled (a mixture of tumbled travertine, natural stone mosaics and red glass mosaics)
• Floor fully tiled (porcelain tiles)
• Installation of the new bathroom suite including shower, WC, basin and towel rail
