North Leeds Plumbing & Heating – Home Improvement and DIY Advice

It seems as if every day brings a new design or concept into our bathrooms. Interior designers and bathroom accessories have revolutionised the way we now look at and use the room.

Where once we would have had to visit a luxury hotel to enjoy a steam sauna or Jacuzzi, the option is now there for us to indulge ourselves in the comfort of our own home. Best of all such luxury comes at a very affordable price.

A good casing point is the sharp rise in domestic whirlpool installations. Particularly popular is the air-jet variety. This appliance streams air, at high pressure, directly into the bath. The user can relax for hours by adding fragrant oils or cleansing salts, an experience previously available only to the very rich and privileged.

But why stop there? Chromotherapy is another innovation that is fast becoming popular. This works by placing lights inside the bath, which are operated by a remote control unit to produce a variety of light patterns. By doing so, the manufacturers claim that the body experiences intense relaxation.

Aromatherapy works on roughly the same principle. Different fragrances drift around the bath, creating a unique atmosphere in which to contemplate the travails of modern day life. Users claim that the as the body relaxes, the mind becomes sharper and focused, so is better equipped to deal with whatever problems the next day throws up.

Finally, whirlpools are not only good for the body; they are also kind to the bath. Because of the constant circulation of water, unpleasant fungi and spores have a vastly reduced chance of building up.
