bathrooms & washrooms the World Of Hospitality A CLEAR REFLECTION WITH demista™ Though many of us may prefer a fuzzy vision of ourselves first thing in the morning, having a mist free mirror must surely be an advantage for shaving, applying make up or styling hair. Once a demista™ heated mirror pad is installed, you will always have a clear view, no matter how steamed up the bathroom may be. The pads are available in a variety of sizes, and should your mirror be exceptionally large, they can be fitted in multiples to cover the entire area. Bespoke sizes are also available. Once fitted it requires no maintenance. Easy to install demista™ is the original and innovative heated mirror pad, introduced over 25 years ago, with proven standards of reliability, whilst providing an immediate local back up service. The company also produces a range of underfloor heating systems to suit every room in the house, including wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. Choose from Cosyfloor™, Ecofloor and Ecomat, for overall warmth and to save space by eliminating radiators.

New and recent Regulations and “ best practice” guidelines mean management now have additional challenges to deliver an optimum solution for accessible tourism. To help them, leading disabled toileting solutions provider Clos-o- Mat has published a white paper: Provision of Accessible Toilets in the Tourism Industry. The white paper provides a simplified reference to achieve compliance for venues where people are spending a few hours or a day. It clarifies what is needed under the latest Building Regulations (Approved Document M 2013), plus the Equality Act (which replaced the Disability Discrimination Act) and BS8300:2009, to enable visitors with a visible or invisible disability to access appropriate toilets. “A recent survey showed that 85% of families with a disabled member had left a venue early because of poor or unsuitable toilet facilities; 99% of its respondents said they would be more likely to visit a venue if they knew it had suitable toilet facilities- that includes wheelchair accessible toilets, accessible facilities with a changing bench and hoist (Space to Change), or a ‘full specification’ Changing Places assisted accessible toilet,” says Robin Tuffley, Clos-o-Mat marketing manager. The white paper can be obtained, free of charge, from the downloads section of Clos-o-Mat’s website www.clos-o-mat. com. It is available alongside a raft of support material including CAD blocks, technical specifications, video, renders, and considerations for a trouble-free installation.
