Your Guide To Choosing The Best Basin For Your Bathroom

Posted on by shixuan

1050 - basin tap singapore

Your bathroom may be out of other people’s sight but that doesn’t mean you get can get away with carelessly buying just any sanitary wares and fittings. It also needs creative input and thorough attention as you would give your bed room or living room. This is because aesthetics is not the only goal here but to also build a comfortable and functional bathroom.

So when it comes to choosing the best basin for your bathroom, here are the things that you have to consider.

Bathroom Theme
Are you trying to go for a specific theme for your bathroom? If that’s the case, you have to figure out the style that you like best so that you can choose a sink and toilet that goes well with that. Be it rustic or classic theme, Fullsun’s TOTO products have several series that you can choose from. You can rest assured that all the products are not only high quality but also stylish.

Space
When choosing sanitary wares and fittings for your bathroom, you also have to consider the available space. A sink can either take all the space or fit just right depending on the type of sink you decide to choose.

If you have limited space, wall hung and floor standing would be best. All of them keeps the room from looking cramped because it free up a lot of floor space although you’ll have to deal with limited storage underneath them. But if you have abundant space to work with then console basin for example, counter mount basin won’t be a problem.

Your Options
Knowing what options you have will make it easier for you to decide because you can compare them with each other and learn which among them fits your requirements. If we’re talking about options, Fullsun offers wide range of sinks from wall hung sinks, freestanding sink and console sink. To know which among those best suits your space, here’s how they differ from each other:

Wall Hung Basin
If you have limited bathroom space, choosing wall hung basin would be the most ideal. This is because it helps save both wall and floor space which prevents the room from looking cramped. If you have a family member that is bound to wheelchair, this type of sink is also advantageous because it doesn’t have cabinets under which allows easier and closer access.

There are different types of counter mount basin

  1. Counter Mount / Console Basin 
    Most people like the above counter mount/console because of its striking look, but if you’re the type of person who likes to have his or her space easy to clean, then this isn’t for you because it has hard to reach angles that makes it difficult to clean.
  2. Under Counter Mount Basin
    Meanwhile, under counter mount is a breeze to clean because of the lack of a lip separating the counter from the basin.
  3. Semi Recessed Basin
    This one is great if you don’t have a lot of space yet you still want a counter mount sink. That’s because the semi recessed basin is protruded out a little and not fully on top of the counter which allows you more vanity space, as they overhang the counter slightly.

Floor Standing Sink
This is another option for those with limited bathroom space. Floor standing sinks are comprised of a sink set atop a pedestal. Though this type of sink definitely saves space, however it doesn’t have storage under it, which can be a problem because you have nowhere to put all your bathroom essentials.

Posted on by shixuan

1030 - toto washlet singapore price

Energy-saving initiatives are now everywhere since it’s becoming obvious that the global environment is no longer the same as it used to be and that it could use a little help from people. But more than the global impact that this could do, it’s evident to that finding out the best ways to save power on an individual level is more beneficial for us when it comes to cost-cutting.

Considering that, it will surprise you how much energy your bathroom consumes every day since it can easily be the most popular and used room in the house despite being the smallest. So when you’re trying to implement energy-saving in your house, don’t forget about the things you can do in your bathroom to help with that.

1. Replace Sanitary Wares And Fittings
Whether it’s your faucets, toilet or shower head, if they’re already leaky time to replace them. Once you decide to, opt for sanitary wares that are energy efficient.

Sensor Taps
Sometimes, people worry that while sensor taps may save water, it may also increase their energy usage. But with TOTO Self Power technology, accurate hand detection means only the minimum necessary amount of water is used, while located inside the unit is the second technology, a generator that harnesses the energy from water flowing through the tap to make the micro-sensor energy-self-sufficient.

Showerhead
Fullsun’s TOTO Technology offers two shower heads which are the Aerial Shower and Aerial Pulse that promotes comfortable and enjoyable experience while reducing water consumption. Choose the one that most suitable for your needs as well as your bathroom’s overall appeal that you want to achieve.

Toilet
Our new TOTO Tornado Flush toilet with completely new flushing system cleans and flushes both the rim and bowl in an innovative way where it project three powerful jets of water from inside the bowl so you won’t have to flush twice and clean manually . Aside from that, tornado flushing also reduces the use of chemical cleansing, thus it is environmental friendly.

2. Maintenance
A leaking toilet and taps may not seem as big deal but you’d be surprise with how much water it wastes in a day. 200 liters—Is the reported amount of water any leaking sanitary wares and fittings waste in a day. Not only that this waste a natural resource but it also means paying money for water you didn’t even use. So better fix them as soon as you notice any leak.

3. Replace You Lighting
Remember how lighting can make a room feel cramped or spacious depending on how it illuminates the room? Aside from that, it can definitely change a room’s appeal by replacing lighting fixtures. If you’re still using standard fluorescent, how about you change it up with a statement lighting piece using LED or Compact Fluorescent bathroom lighting? This way they don’t only make the room well-lit and fancy but they also help lessen energy consumption.

4. Switch It Off
As with other rooms in the house, make sure to switch lights off when leaving. Encourage other household members to do the same – maybe a friendly reminder on the door? Remember to unplug devices when not in, this will help prevent the so called ‘vampire drain’ of energy. Try to use bathroom gadgets that can be operated from the mains. This uses electricity more efficiently than battery powered devices. However if you do have battery powered items do not leave them plugged in. We recommend letting them go empty every so often before you charge them up.

They should therefore have no sharp edges and you should ensure they are well fitted.

Top 6 Things To Consider When You Buy Bathroom Faucets

Posted on by shixuan

4321 - buy shower head singapore

Faucet may not seem something that needs a lot of consideration. However, buying a faucet solely based on whether you like how it looks may affect a lot of more important things like water conservation, ease of use and maintenance.

This where you realize that choosing any sanitary ware and fittings for your bathroom, even something as small as faucet, requires a lot of thought. A faucet is the most frequently used fixture of a sink. The constant use can make a faucet malfunction, causing the continuous dripping of water. This is one of the main reasons why a faucet has to be durable first and yet aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Here are the things that you have to remember to help you decide what kind of faucet is right for your loo.

1. The Holes
Different faucets have different hole patterns. Now, you need to determine the kind of pattern that will suit your sinks. If you need a separate handle for cold and hot water, the three hole faucet is perfect. While centerset faucets can come with one or two handles to control temperature and flow and are made for bathroom sinks with one opening. With the centerset, the spout and handles are on a single base. With a standard spread of 4”, this type of faucet is perfect for smaller sinks!

2. Style And Finish
Faucets may be a sanitary fitting that exist for its function but that doesn’t mean you can’t express you inclination towards modern or traditional look with it. If your bathroom leans more on the modern look, faucets with smooth sleek curves or geometric shapes with chrome and satin nickel finishes are great. But if you like to keep things traditional, cross handles, pewter finish faucet, as well as brushed nickel, antique bronze, polished brass, oil-rubbed bronze or antique copper faucet can help you achieve the look.

3. Water Conservation
Did you know that a faucet leaking 10 drips every minute wastes 526 gallons of water per year? Lack of water is the greatest challenge humanity faces in many parts of the world. It’s best to conserve water as much as we can before it’s too late. Check the faucet you plan on buying to see how much volume of water it will use in a minute. Spouts are either aerated or non-aerated. Because aerated spouts mix air with the water, the flow rate is lower than a non-aerated spout and less water is used. Touchless electronic faucets are also fantastic when it comes to saving water, because they automatically turn the water off when you move your hands away.

4. Built-In Water Filtration System
If you are the type of always get up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty and always have to walk all the way to the kitchen to drink, maybe it’s time you install faucet in your bathroom with built-in water filtration system. This doesn’t just allow you to drink clean water without going out of your room but it also allows you to refrain from buying more bottled water which isn’t just money-saving but also eco-friendly.

5. Ease Of Use
Before buying a faucet, consider who will be using it. If you have children or elderly family members, choose a single-handled kitchen faucet. This type allows the user to control the temperature as well as flow adjustment with just one lever, and it’s easy to grip and turn. Touch-sensitive faucets are terrific for ease of use. Whether they have single or double handles, the water flow can be switched on or off with a single touch along the outside of the faucet spout.

6. Valve
Compression valve, washer less and ball valves are the compression models that you can choose for your faucet. Choose a faucet that is based primarily on the valves used. Some valves are easy to maintain and are affordable. Some valves are harder to maintain and are expensive too. Choose a faucet that is not prone to rust and has an easy to maintain the finish with simple cleaning. Choose a finish that will help create an overall look of the area.

5 Steps Of Fitting A Vanity Unit

Posted on by shixuan

12345 - bathroom accessories singapore

A worn-out sink and vanity can really be a sore thumb. Opt for a new sink or vanity as this one change can make a big difference. Vanity’s often take center stage in a bathroom and help bring in a bit of style and form. You’ll be glad to know replacing them is probably easier than you think.

1. Remove The Old Sink
Fitting any sanitary wares and fittings to your bathroom is so much easier with a clear spot. So if you’re planning to install a new vanity unit, start by removing the old sink. This way nothing is in the way and you can make adjustment accurately. But before you hack off anything, don’t forget to switch off the water supply and disconnect the water supplies for the hot and cold valves and basin waste. Afterwards, inspect if the basin is screwed to the wall or fitted with sealant. If it’s the first one, you simply have to remove the screw to detach the sink from the wall, but if it’s the latter you either use a sealant remover or apply heat to the sealant to soften it to make the silicone sealant easier to slice with a blade.

2. Positioning The Vanity Unit
Keep in mind who use the bathroom when positioning the vanity unit. This way you can prevent fitting it too high or too low. If it’s just you, then all you have to do is stand in there to see how high or low you want it to be. But if you share it with other family members like children or those who use wheel chair, you might want to take their reach into consideration.

Use a pencil to mark the edges. If the vanity unit has an open back to allow for the pipework you can make a start on fitting it. If it has a closed back, you will need to cut holes so the pipes can fit into the vanity unit.

3. Fitting The Vanity Unit To The Wall
Double check the marks you’ve made on the wall to ensure they are level. Make sure there’s no difference between the position of the pipes and the holes in the back of the vanity unit by placing it against the wall. If all matches up you can begin to fit the vanity unit. Locate the wall studs before screwing the vanity unit into the wall. Drill into the studs and fit the unit to the wall making sure it’s securely attached before installing the basin. Once fitted to the wall, use a spirit level to ensure it’s perfectly level.

4. Fitting The Basin To The Vanity Unit
If you don’t want to struggle fitting the basin, install the tap and waste first. Then it will be easier to fit the basin into the vanity unit. Place and align the basin on top of the vanity unit. To avoid water damage, apply silicone sealant to the gap between the basin and the vanity unit to create water tight seal. This sealant usually takes 24 hours to set, so if you share bathroom with other family members or roommates, remind them not to use the unit for at least a day.

5. Check For Leaks
Always double check for leaks before running the water supply. You don’t want to redo everything and waste all the work you’ve done because you didn’t want to bother checking. Switch the water back on, run the tap and check the connections between the tap, drain and pipework. If there are no leaks and everything is secure, you’ve successfully fitted your vanity unit. While the silicone sealant is setting, avoid placing heavy objects on top of the unit.

It would’ve been better if you get to have a big bathroom. However, just because you don’t doesn’t mean you can’t build a comfortable but stylish one. Here are some tips that will help you achieve that goal and if you’re lucky, you might even end up having a hotel-inspired bathroom.

1. Go Wall Mounted
Walls are often left unoccupied and unutilized in bathrooms. If you have limited floor space, then use the space you have on your walls. Wall mounted sanitary wares and fittings are great space savers, not only because they free up floor space but also because it gives a smart modern look that makes a space look bigger than it is.

2. Conceal Pipework
While industrial interior design proudly displays the building materials, if your bathroom is already small, you might want to conceal pipework. Unconcealed pipework could make your bathroom chaotic and cramped.

3. Clever Storage Solutions
Storage is important and necessary in bathrooms, but they also take up a lot of space especially is you don’t know how to be strategic about them. For tight spaces, a full on cabinetry underneath the sink may not work but shelves above the sink as well as the toilet are just as great option for storage. Even hooks works well for hanging robes and towels without taking that much space.

4. Create A Wet Room
In a wet room there’s no shower door, and the water drains away directly through a drain in the floor. If you don’t have the budget for a wet room, you can still achieve a similar look with a walk in shower enclosure and low level shower tray. A walk in shower features a frameless glass screen and no door, which creates a bright and airy feel.

5. Make A Statement
While a huge artwork probably won’t fit but you can still get creative with a small space. You can use color scheme for both the walls and the floor which makes it difficult to tell where the floor ends and where the wall start. This creates fluidity in the space which can make any space look much bigger. Or using a bold tile design can still create statement without making the room feel and look small.

6. Accessorize
No ensuite is complete without a matching set of bathroom accessories and new towels. Display candles, perfume and luxury beauty products that are just way too nice to hide away in a cabinet. You could even add a touch of greenery with a couple of houseplants.
