My Reading Room

Your bathroom often serves more function than style, but it is possible to have the best of both worlds. By choosing the right bathroom fixtures, you can ensure convenience, comfort and hygiene, without compromising on design.

WC

Bacteria tend to get trapped under crevices along the rims of the WC, which are hard to reach and difficult to clean. Over time, this may result in harmful germs lingering in your bathroom, causing foul smells, stains and even the spread of illness. There are now rimless WC options to help solve this long-standing problem.

Some rimless WCs come in both close-coupled floor-standing and wall-mounted designs, with antibacterial ceramic glazing that helps kill germs. You can choose to add a coating to smoothen the inner surfaces further so dirt does not stick and can be washed easily as you flush. These features help maintain cleanliness and hygiene in your bathroom!

Showers and mixers

The latest designs of showers and mixers incorporate simple push buttons which make surfaces look sleek and clean, without conventional protruding handles and faucets. These solutions work well in small apartments where bathroom and shower spaces are limited. You can now select your desired shower type and toggle between functions at the touch of your fingertips!

Heaters

Do not leave your heater switched on throughout the day, as that will waste electricity, and hike your utility bills. Yet, we have all experienced the inconvenience of having to wait for the water to heat up while you are in the shower, wasting precious time and water.

There is a solution, with the new digital electric water storage heater from AO Smith that comes with a touchscreen control panel, which allows you to easily program the water heater to automatically heat up twice a day. It then switches to an “energy-saving mode” after the pre-assigned heating hours.

For added user convenience, the touch panel has a real-time temperature indicator and an instant heating button that overrides the program whenever you require hot water.

The device’s Blue Diamond Technology feature prevents limescale formation and rust from forming for a more durable water heater, too.

With all these in mind, you can now achieve a stylish bathroom that combines hygiene with comfort!
