Stand in our showroom on Holder Road on a Saturday morning and you’ll see the same thing every week: someone staring at rows of shower panels trying to picture how any of them will actually look in their own bathroom. That guessing game got a bit easier this week. Flair Showers, one of the ranges we stock, launched a redesigned trade partner site on 24th September with a configurator that lets you pick range, style, size, finish and panels and see market-specific pricing before you’ve even left the shop floor.
It’s not just about picking a colour. The new Trade Hub carries proper installation support, training videos and details on Flair’s Click Fit PRO fitting system, plus the declarations of performance and CE certificates our installers need on file for building control sign-off. Anyone who’s had to chase a supplier for paperwork after the tiler’s already in knows why that matters.
Behind the glass, most of what makes a bathroom work is stuff you never see. A shower running off the mains needs a TMV3 thermostatic valve to stop scalding under Part G, the electrics in Zone 1 have to be rated IP44 or better, and the wet room floor needs a proper fall to waste, not a token dip in the middle of the tray.
We fit a lot of Karndean in Aldershot and North Town, which handles that sort of damp-prone floor far better than a laminate ever would, and it’s one more thing worth checking before a job starts rather than after.
Grosvenor Merchants is at 19B Holder Road, Aldershot, and we’re happy to talk through a configurator plan or just point you at the right tile. Pop in, ring the showroom, or have a look at grosvenormerchants.co.uk/ before you commit to anything.
