Unsure about the definitions of some of our bathroom terms? Or perhaps you’d want to learn more about what Bathshed offers. Browse our glossary from letters A – W to find out more and quickly become an expert on bathrooms. 

A - Anthracite Slate Shower Tray

The on-trend option for your modern bathroom is this luxury slate shower tray from Sonas Bathrooms.

This shade is a wonderful blend of a contemporary and calming alternative that will fit into any bathroom because it can be matched flawlessly with many bathroom items.

SLATE Shower Trays

B - Brushed Brass

A surprisingly understated alternative to the metallic accents that have dominated home design trends in recent years is brushed bass.

This design gives bathroom handles, accessories and brassware a rich finish that suggests elegance and luxury while still being suitable when used.

C - Close Couple

Toilets that have the pan and the cistern attached closely together, forming a single toilet unit are known as close couple toilets. They are easier to clean, need less space, and use less water thanks to this development.

D - Double Ended Bath

Taps and a drain are typically located in the centre of double-ended baths. This allows you to sit at either side of the bath.

E - Enclosure

Shower enclosures are used to isolate the water in that one space and to divide the shower from the bathroom. At Bathshed, we have an extensive selection of shower enclosures so you can create the ideal showering experience for you. We offer a variety of sliding, bifold, corner, pivot, and quadrant enclosures.

F - Floorstanding Tap

A floor-standing tap is one that you can mount on the floor. Pipes supply the floor-mounted taps, which are connected to the underfloor plumbing.

Before continuing, there are two things to consider concerning floorstanding taps, which are installed outside of the bathtub. One is that they do need more water pressure to function. Second, you’ll need to take this into consideration while designing your bathroom because more space is required.

G - Gotti Range

Bathshed offers a contemporary bathroom furniture collection called Gotti. This includes items like tall boys and vanity units that could be mounted on the wall or stood upright. Your bathroom will look more modern and organised when using these units.

H - Heated Towel Rail

Heating the room is not the heated towel rail’s main concern. Rather, it serves to warm and heat the bathroom towels that are placed on it.

I - Instinct Chrome Basin Tap Range

With a simple yet stylish shape, this high quality range of taps from Atti Bathrooms will add the perfect finishing touch to your bathroom. Manufactured from high quality brass for long-lasting use, the hand-polished chrome finish produces a shine which won’t fade over time.

Highly contemporary in its design, these taps feature easy-to-turn controls, allowing you to set the perfect temperature and flow. Ceramic disc internals help minimise the risk of drips forming.

J - J-Shaped bath

The J shaped bath is one of our best selling shaped bath and we can see why. From the finished look to the price point, this is the perfect item for any bathroom. 

This bath shape is the perfect for smaller bathrooms. Made from the highest quality acrylic with a sleek white finish, the J shaped bath is not only beautifully aesthetic but extremely practical too.

K - Kora Range

This substantial, compact design, has rounded corners and strong handles, making it perfect for medium-sized bathrooms. With its assortment of appealing colours in matt finishes, the KORA range can give your home a cheery, vibrant vibe. The top drawer’s U-shaped design helps to maximise the useful area while the deep drawers provide plenty of storage.

L - Low Level Cistern

Low level toilets consist of an exposed pottery cistern and pan. The cistern is mounted at a mid- to low-height and connected with a metal flush pipe that is left exposed. This differs from a close coupled toilet, which lacks an exposed flush pipe.

M - Mixer Tap

A mixer tap provides hot and cold water from a single tap. One or two controls are used by the user to change the temperature.

N - Nera 1800mm Freestanding Bath

The contemporary design, high quality finish and sublime sleek lines of this luxury freestanding bath make it the perfect choice for any modern bathroom. Offering the perfect fusion of innovation, craftsmanship and ground-breaking modern design, the Nera black bath is a triumph of luxury style. Perfect for chic, minimalist spaces, the Nera provides a bold focal point to any interior.

Match our Nera bath with our Series 300 black toilet for that overall perfect bathroom. 

 

O - Orca Range

Modern taps and showers in black make up our Orca range. The black finish, which is produced using high-quality materials for long-lasting use, creates a striking and contemporary look that will look great for years. They feature simple settings that let you choose the ideal flow and temperature.

P - Pan

The portion of the toilet that sits on the ground is called the toilet pan, and the cistern is attached to the top of the pan.

Q - Quadrant Enclosure

Quadrant shower enclosures are a wonderful alternative to traditional square or rectangular shaped cabins, and are ideal for bathrooms where space is at a premium or where you want a cool, modern look and a corner entry shower enclosure.

At Bathshed, we have a fabulous selection of quadrant shower enclosures and shower enclosure kits that will make any type of bathroom look truly elegant. Each has been selected for its clean curves and exceptional workmanship and these versatile designs can complement all types of decor.

R - Rosie LED Round Mirror W. Demist & Colour Change

With its distinctive beauty, the Rosie LED Illuminated Bathroom Mirror will stand out against any background.

The LED trim emits a fresh, radiant glow plus, the diffused colour changing lights transform your room from cool white to warm white. Ensuring a crystal clear view is the demister pad that prevents excess steam build-up.

S - Single Ended Bath

Single-ended baths have a drain and taps at one end, and the other end is curved and sloping to provide back support. This style of bath can only accommodate one bather at a time due to its design.

T - Thermostatic Shower

When using a thermostatic shower, the ideal temperature is achieved by combining water from your hot and cold supply. You can set the temperature of your shower yourself. This prevents you from getting a sudden blast of cold water or burning hot water when you first turn on the shower. 

When someone turns on a tap or flushes a toilet somewhere else in your house, a thermostatic shower will automatically return to the temperature you’ve chosen.

 

U - Unslotted Waste

An unslotted waste is only suitable for basins without an overflow. This is mostly common with our more decorative basins.

Most of our taps come with an unslotted waste. Shop one of the options by clicking the link below.

V - Vanity Unit

A vanity unit is a piece of furniture that combines storage and a bathroom sink into one tidy item. Vanity units come in a variety of sizes and styles to match any bathroom, from little cloakrooms rooms to spacious family bathrooms.

W - Wetroom Panel

Create your own style with our Wetroom Panels, designed with functional simplicity to create a luxury showering experience for less. A smart looking addition can utilise your space and work beautifully with a slim-line shower tray or directly onto your tiled wetroom floor.
