Is this a VADO shower?

7 years ago

Hi Georgina,
I noticed you used our wallmounted taps in this room, and wondered if the shower was ours also?

Many thanks in advance!

Hello. If you are stuck for space, you might consider a quadrant shower enclosure which has a smaller footprint than a square or rectangular one - then get the largest one that will fit comfortably. We usually install Matki but look at Bathroom Heaven (we fitted one of their quadrant showers recently), or generally search for quadrant showers on line. The good thing about those suggested here are that they have minimal frames, so look cool, and come with a low profile shower tray. If you want to pop to a local shop and check out some features, Bathstore usually has several available, and a B&Q superstore will usually have 20 or so set up. I'm sure you will have laid out the space on a floor plan, so the remaining thing to check is how the door operates: in a confined space, you might choose a sliding door (or doors) as opposed to one that hinges. Regarding the valve and overhead shower and / or handset, you will be faced with either a concealed valve (generally more expensive both in parts and labour) or an exposed valve. The image above has a concealed valve (from Hansgrohe), but I suspect you will be choosing an exposed model if space is a little more confined for the pipework; the one in the image below (ignore the bath) is from Vado and you can see that the valve mixer, and attachments come as one unit which makes things simpler. Both are reputable makes. Hope this helps for now

You're more than welcome! I'm glad I could be of some help. (I have a feeling that Topps have some deals on at the moment too!) Regarding the use with water, I think it depends how close the water is going to be to the tiles? Ours aren't in direct contact... - they do get splashed however, we used a waterproof matting underneath (which you can also buy from Topps) As it is a natural stone it doesn't require a sealant, but you could as a precaution, we did, and have had no problems at all... they don't even require that much cleaning which helps in a bathroom as they are a dark stone but also because they do wear very well- so very low maintenance! We used a slate protector - which you can also buy from Topps. They will also send you samples (which they refund if you order the tiles) but I always find it helps visiting the showroom and seeing them in situ. Let me know how you get on! Holly
