Shower Tray Shift
With the UK fast becoming a nation no longer dependent on the bath, it’s apparent that the relationship with showering is accelerating at an alarming rate with no real signs of slowing down. Whilst numerous designs continue to flood our options, consumers are becoming aware of the economical and practical benefits of the shower and shower tray – in particular the low level shower tray. Current designs are clear evidence of trays becoming shorter with super slimline designs replacing older chunkier options as the current must have.
According to the UK Shower Market Report 2008 – 2012 released by AMA Research, the shower tray market was worth £50m in 2007, representing a total of 18% of the entire shower market. The report also credited the development of low level and easy-plumb trays quickly becoming the best option for bathrooms, with low level trays expectant to grow considerably over the next 12 months. In contrast, the report also showed that shower tray volume will eventually drop in the foreseeable future whilst durability and quality are increased. Rather than having to replace a tray every 3 – 5 years, consumers will hunt for the lifetime option.
Di Vapor currently offer both easy-plumb and low level tray showering options to suit all requirements. Head over to www.divapor.com today and see what options are available for you.
Choosing the right shower head!
There are many different types of shower head available on the market, but depending on what your specific requirements are can determine which shower design will work best for you. Different shower heads include handheld, handheld on a slider rail, fixed, ceiling mounted and shower columns complete with a series of body jets.
Temperature and pressure are commonly controlled by a thermostatic valve, which will detect changes in water pressure and temperature and respond accordingly. Some thermostatic valves even allow you to preset the temperature so that when you turn the shower on it is exactly how you want it. More state of the art models come complete with digital control panels complete with remote control so the shower can even be started without even stepping in.
Handheld should be considered, even as a secondary shower head as they handy when rinsing off the the side of the bath or shower tray etc. They can also be fitted to a slider rail, which means that height can be adjusted easily. The most important factor to bare in mind when choosing a shower head is all in its design and features – Most are available with multiple spray options. Huge shower heads, often ceiling mounted, have also become popular, designed to totally drench the shower user in seconds. Multiple jet showers are another big trend, comprising not just one shower head, but a host of side jets sprays.

Steam therapy to cure sinusitis – Daily Mail
A towel and a bowl of steaming water may be a more effective way to tackle sinusitis than drugs. In a new trial, up to 300 patients will use inhalation to treat a condition that is often tackled with antibiotics. It comes in the wake of research showing that the amount of patients who recovered in ten days was about the same, whether they took an antibiotic or a placebo.
Acute sinusitis – inflammation of the linings of the sinuses – affects up to five per cent of adults. Symptoms include headaches, sore face and a blocked nose. In the trial, at Southampton University, researchers will compare steam inhalation and nasal irrigation, where patients flush 150ml of saline through each nostril daily for six months. The hot steam is thought to help clear the airways, which improves breathing and mucus flow.

Clever Camping Contraption!
Camping is often associated with tents, the great outdoors, and campfires. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea due to the lack of luxury one can expect, but solar power is bringing a whole new scenario to consider. Imagine arriving back to base camp after a long hike around the neighbouring hills to a solar-powered outdoor shower?
Manufacturers claim this clever contraption is capable of heating 5.5 gallons of water to a refreshing 60º celsius, after just 2 hours on a sunny day (leave a few more hours charging time for a cloudy day!). Better still the solar-powered outdoor shower is fully transportable, so taking it from A to B shouldn’t prove to be too much of a chore. Maybe its time for all of us to reconsider our holiday destinations and keep camping a definite possibility!
