The Striped Painted Stairs in our picture have been created using:

  • Walls: Pointing white Emulsion; Wood panels: Light Gray Emulsion, Floor: Dove Tale.
  • Stair stripes: Babouche, Arsenic and Mahogany Floor Paint, Bannister: Pointing white.

Floor Paint is durable with a traditional eggshell finish that is suitable for use on any interior concrete or wooden floor, including workshops and garages.

Merlyn Showering’s New Shower Enclosures For Loft Conversion

Thursday, March 7th, 2013

While the housing market is still struggling to recover, we are encouraged to invest in improving our property meanwhile.

Installing an en-suite or an extra bathroom is a popular project, as not only can you enjoy it, but it also adds considerably to the property value, particularly if it’s a component of a loft conversion.

For example, if you spend £20,000 converting your loft, you could add around £40,000 to the value of your house, according to property Guru Phil Spencer.

Apparently homeowners can be averse to using the attic as a bathroom, because of an irregular or sloping ceiling.

In response to this situation Merlyn have expanded the Bespoke range in their Glass Portfolio, which offers some ideal solutions for loft installation.

The Bespoke range proffers a very liberal 2400 mm. in maximum height and the glass can be adjusted to nearly any size or shape, together with Angle and Notch cuts, making it just right for fitting to asymmetrical ceilings and walls. Additional options are offered such as coloured glass and UV Bonding.

Featured here is the Bespoke Single Entry Shower Panel:

  • A stylish and spacious enclosure, just perfect for a loft conversion including, height of 2015 mm; ten mm. toughened glass.
  • Mershield Stay Clear glass protection and Coloured glass option
  • A site survey is required. Price on request.

Alternatively, there is the Hinge Door with two inline panels – recessed.

  • A deluxe shower enclosure, providing flexible size options upto 2400 mm height and width and ten mm. toughened glass.
