How you can eliminate uneasy, cold, winter mornings!

There's nothing worse than waking up in the morning met with the daunting task of cold tiles. Showers are procrastinated, and when you finally get in, you don't want to face the cold when getting out. Whether you are building a new house, or just looking at convenience, one of the best choices you can make is implementing a heating element to your bathroom!

These days, bathroom lighting, cooling, and heating systems usually come within a single unit. There are so many options to choose from, it can be a bit daunting. there are 2-in-1s, 3-in1s, and 4-in-1s. But what does it all mean? Today, we'll touch on bathroom systems that provide a heating function specifically targeted to reduce discomfort in those chilly winter months. For more information on systems that provide extraction, cooling, and lighting only, check out some of our previous blog posts!

Something to consider before choosing is the current placement of your existing fittings. If you have existing downlights, you will want to avoid removing them, unless the unit is going to replace them. Are you replacing a smaller exhaust unit than you are fitting? Perfect! But if you are installing a larger unit than you are replacing it with, this can be a hard task and will require a variation of tradespeople to repatch the hole.
