SANIFLO ’ S SANIBEST PRO PROVIDES ROBUST SERVICE FOR GUEST HOUSE
In March 2023 , a 100-year-old two-storey guest house apartment above commercial premises in Inverness received a new Sanibest
Pro to replace a non-Saniflo macerator that had been changed three times in seven years and had required multiple repairs and maintenance due to clogged blades . The experts at Saniflo advised the property owner that the Sanibest Pro , although usually specified for commercial applications , would suit this domestic scenario because a more powerful product was required to dispose of items that clog blades , such as wet wipes . The Sanibest Pro occupies the same space as its defunct predecessor , so no additional plumbing or pipework was required .
Matt Watson , Saniflo National Sales Manager , recommends that customers call the Saniflo technical team to double-check their requirements as every situation differs , and there may always be a better solution . He says : “ Our engineers often attend call-outs where a product has been misspecified . We would always recommend a commercial product for an application like this , particularly when members of the public use the facility . Guests often don ’ t follow disposal guidelines and put bulky items down the WC ; they don ’ t tend to worry as they do in their homes , so mitigating for that is important .”

PETERSHAM HOTEL
Situated in Richmond , Surrey and overlooking the River Thames , the Petersham Hotel ’ s Tower suite has been refurbished to ensure that visitors enjoy the very best bathroom experience ! Tile and stone protection expert Schlüter- Systems was on hand to provide a level entry system solution . A popular destination for weddings and other grand events , the hotel is renowned for its second-tonone hospitality and luxurious guest experience . A main aim of the bathroom project was to ensure the use of a full system from a single manufacturer for warranty guarantees and the creation of a seamless and simple solution . This is where Schlüter ’ s expertise came in as the company designed and installed a full waterproofing system and underfloor heating throughout the bathroom floor . The walls were prepared with the popular tile backerboard Schlüter- KERDI-BOARD . Using this substrate alongside sealing products Schlüter-KERDI-KERECK and Schlüter-KERDI-COLL made easy work of creating a tanked waterproofing system . Electric underfloor heating system Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT was installed throughout the floor . In the shower area , the U-shaped profile Schlüter-DECO-SG aided in the sleek addition of a glass shower screen without penetrating the waterproofing components . This meant that style and substance were both achieved effortlessly .

Paul Halliwell , Director of Archer Specialist Treatments , commented : “ This has been a relatively routine project for us - waterproofing a retaining wall - so we did not need to call on Triton Systems for design assistance on this occasion , but we do get very good support from our area sales manager , Steve West : which is one of the reasons I ’ ve stuck with the company for so long as our supplier of waterproofing systems . In the two decades or more we ’ ve been using Triton , we have come to depend on the product range ’ s quality and reliability for all types of residential projects in different ground conditions .”
