If you want to install new plumbing fixtures in your home, you need to know what type of water pressure system is in your home. Knowing more about the water pressure system in your home will help you select fixtures and fittings that provide a great match. Choosing complementary pieces of equipment helps you get the performance you want and avoid disappointment. The more you know about your water pressure system, the better. In general, there are three varieties: gravity-fed, combi boiler, and unvented systems Gravity-Fed This is the most common system in older properties, gravity-fed water pressure systems rely on the magic of gravity to deliver water to faucets and other water outlets around your home under high pressure. In gravity-fed systems, a cold water tank sits high up in the property somewhere. A pump hauls water up the roof from the mains supply, and then the tank releases water through outlets in its base. Gravity fed systems provide water to the hot water tank as well as cold taps in your home and appliances that use cold water, like the dishwasher or washing machine. In general, you gain about 1 bar of pressure for every metre of elevation. So if you want five bars of pressure for the water coming out of your kitchen tap, it needs to be five metres below the water tank. Combi Boiler System While gravity-fed water pressure systems are commonplace in older homes, the combi boiler system is the most frequently seen option in newer builds. You find this type of boiler most often in small apartments and new homes. The small size of the system helps to free up space for other things and cut costs for the developer. Most combi boilers do not provide any pressure themselves. Instead, they rely on mains pressure to deliver both hot and cold water to your home. Combi boilers direct water into their interior, apply heat, and then deliver it, on-demand whenever you turn on the hot tap. As you might imagine, heating cold water as it comes in from the mains requires a lot of energy. Combi boilers, therefore, work in a similar way to power showers. They pass water over hot elements that heat it rapidly before it leaves the unit and travels to any appliance it is connected to in your home. Combi boilers can be more efficient than traditional gravity-fed systems with a hot water tank. Unlike in the gravity-fed system, you don’t have to keep a hot water tank permanently hot, just in case somebody devices that they want to run a bath – you only heat hot water that you need. The combi system also offers another benefit: as unlike traditional gravity-fed system. Water comes in under mains pressure and, for the most part, is identical throughout the home, whether you need water on the ground or first floor. so long as the mains pressure remains consistent. Combi boilers deliver moderate pressure. Most can provide one or two bar. Unvented Systems Unvented water systems deliver hot water at mains pressure. The system relies on a special hot water tank which collects water, heats it with elements, while at the same time, pressurising it so that it comes out fast. If you have a tank for hot water but not for cold, then the likelihood is that you have an unvented system. Unlike a combi system, you have a permanent store of hot water. And, unlike a gravity system, cold water comes directly from the mains. A Water booster pump can be fitting to increase the water pressure in your home, leaving you with more of a variety to choose from when purchasing appliances for your home. WHAT IS A BOOSTER PUMP ? A water booster pump provides pressure to move water from a storage tank to your tap, shower head or throughout a whole house or commercial facility. Low water pressure can make simple tasks a hassle, but a booster pump may be the perfect solution. Sometimes, however, plumbing problems may be the cause. Before buying a water pressure booster, have your plumber check the pipes as they may be clogged, or the pressure reducing valve may need adjusting. There are two kinds of pumps: positive and negative. Positive pumps work to increase water pressure in gravity-fed systems. They sit under the cold-water tank and push out incoming water faster. Negative pumps do not need situating under gravity flow to function. You can, therefore, use them at shower level or in a loft conversion. If you want a pump to boost flow to a single outlet, you will need a one-bar rated pump. For an entire floor, you will need a two-bar. And for a large home, you will want a three-bar, especially if you are using large showerheads. Pumps always work better pushing rather than pulling, so put them on the floor next to your hot water tank if you have one.
It is evident that we seasonally update rooms of our home, with the latest colour trend or some festive décor but our bathrooms are deprived of this consideration and investment, bathrooms are typically renovated every 10-15 years. This means when choosing your bathroom décor and interiors it needs to stand the test of time. Fashion trends are so strongly influenced in our lives today it has poured into the bathroom world over the past few years and the ON TREND colours are changing so often if is hard to keep up with the ever-changing styles. The key is to keep the fixtures and fittings in your bathroom neutral and add the ON TREND pop of colour or design where it is easy to change, this makes a lasting impact. Here are a few tips on having an ON TREND BATHROOM… The bathroom is one place that is so often overlooked as a space for wall art, adding a print or painting can instantly update your space and help to create an overall style in your bathroom. While we do not recommend hanging any masterpieces in a naturally wet environment, decorating bathroom walls with a few inexpensive prints, or even creating a gallery wall is a charming way to add interest and make for a quick refresh. By just changing your Mirror with a new led or framed Mirror this can create a new focal point in your bathroom, You can complement the room with some nice new bathroom accessories, then the finishing touch to blend in with your colour scheme is a few nice soft towels with a nice pop of colour. If you have someone handy in your home and you have bad lime in your home as I do, then your Bathroom Taps will be crying out for a change with such a wide range to choose from you are sure to be bang ON TREND as it’s not just the chrome as we know it in many styles, Gold is back and matt Black has joined the brassware world too. A few small changes can help you achieve a whole new look to your Bathroom….
Starting with the walls, not everyone has their bathroom fully tiled, so to add some texture and character you can easily just tile the splashback behind the Basin and if you can spend a little extra in the shower area or over the bath, there is some really nice décor tiles and mosaics available to give you that WOW factor.
Adding a nice light fitting on the ceiling is another option but be sure to buy a fitting that is safe for bathroom use, call to see our range on display at our 101 Bathrooms and our sales team will help reflect your room in a whole new light.
Last but not least the Bathroom floor as your shower or bath may have taken up most of your bathroom floor space changing your floor tiles would not be costly and most bathrooms are tiled with ceramic tiles and not porcelain tiles which makes it cheaper again. If you really want to go bold the patterned tiles are so popular these days and Tilewise has a great selection of ceramic or R rated porcelain patterned tiles, hexagon tiles or wood effect herringbone tiles. These are also a good choice for a Bathroom as they have that (R rated) anti-slip grip.
