Originally, bathrooms were not developed with hygiene in mind, and the first records for the use of baths date back as far as 3000 B.C. At this time, water had a strong religious value and was seen as a purifying element for both body and soul.
Bathrooms, by definition, typically contain a combination of sinks, a toilet, a bathtub, and perhaps even a shower or a shower-bathtub combo in some cases. These 4 fixtures are the key components of what can make up a bathroom. However, just like how bathrooms come in different sizes, bathrooms also come with different combinations of these fixtures.
One of the earliest known baths originates from the Indus Valley Civilisation – a technologically advanced ancient civilization that was spread across what is now modern-day Pakistan.
" Today’s bathrooms are all about combining stylish looks with functionality. The bathroom is a place to get ready on those busy weekday mornings, but it’s also a space where you can relax and unwind too. We have created spaces of luxury and comfort that incorporate technology such as underfloor heating, steam-free mirrors, televisions, clever lighting schemes, and digital showers.
Two-thirds of the water used in a home is used in the bathroom, and a five-minute shower uses about a third of the water of a bath, saving up to 400 liters per week.
Bathroom styles of today range from the sleek and contemporary to the elegant and traditional. We’re now opting for more economical products that reduce water usage so you can benefit from lower energy bills whilst protecting the environment. There are water-saving taps and showers, as well as toilets that use just 4/2.6 litres per flush. "
