1. Isabel’s: The Ultimate Contemporary Restaurant

   December 9, 2024 4:27 pm Leave a Comment

   The Brit award nominated DJ Nathan Dawe has opened his own contemporary restaurant in Burton, named Isabel’s as a tribute to his late nan. Establishing a sense of the city within the town, and bringing to life a brand new restaurant.

   Designed by Copper & Ash, offering a lively and modern feel to the refurbished restaurant.

   

   Luxury Marble Bar Tops

   To add a real wow factor to the venue, Isabel’s opted for a classic marble bar top placed as a centre-piece within the restaurant.

   They chose to use a classic Busy Carrata finish from Versital to add a fashionable touch. This bespoke marble bar top has become the feature point to the venue, enabling customers to sit at the bar watching whilst their drinks are created.

   

   We combined luxury finishes with industrial, refined materials to create the juxtaposition between the two. Colourful planting is located throughout the venue keeping the space fresh while adding an element of ‘wow’ and a window frame system has been introduced to allow natural light in while adding an air of mystique to passers by. We played with a range of adjustable and layered lighting to enable the mood to be switched up depending on the time of day

   Contemporary Design

   Isabel’s oozes modern touches. The custom bright LED slogan ‘First we dine’ illuminates the restaurant in a vibrant shade of blue, whilst using abstract monochrome tiling on the flooring.

   The creative team chose to echo the shape of the door arches throughout the venue with an interesting panelled wall feature.

   Greenery was also an important element of the overall design, keeping the spade fresh. Planting has been used to great effect above the bar which compliments the pops of green on the wall panels and bar front.

   

   Ideal for tables

   Not only do Versital surfaces look good, it also comes with all the benefits you’d expect from cultured marble, being 100% waterproof and stain proof making it ideal for table tops as part of a busy restaurant. Versital has the additional benefit of the anti-bacterial protection of SteriTouch as part of all it’s surfaces.

   

   Working in Partnership with Designers

   As well as manufacturing to design specification we are also on hand to offer advice to designers to help create the vision they have whilst being a practical real-world solution. We often have designers who approach us with a brief and initial design who may need advice making it work in practice.

   Our aim is to take the stress away from the designer and end client and work alongside other trades to get a good end result.

   As well as being a beautiful marble finish it offers the benefits of being extremely hygienic, easy to clean and non-porous so will not stain.

3. 7 Reasons Why You Need A Bespoke Shower Tray

   January 17, 2024 11:07 am Leave a Comment

   With home renovations on the rise, and people looking for the perfect luxury alternative to use in their homes it is only fitting that people are starting to look into whether a bespoke shower tray is the best choice for their bathroom.

   Whilst being used in homes, designers are beginning to turn to bespoke shower trays during hotel and accommodation changes. With them being an effective and easy way to update bathrooms we can understand why designers are turning to this option.

   The rising popularity of bespoke shower trays is raising the question of ‘why you should choose a bespoke shower tray over the other options available on the market?’ So, we compiled a list of the 7 key reasons why a bespoke shower tray may be the best option for you.

   

   1. Solves a key problem

   Solving a problem is the number one reason as to why people opt for a bespoke finish instead of an off the shelf option. Many opt for a bespoke shower tray due to a failure in a wet room. As the tray can be made to the exact measurements of the failed wet room, it adds an element of ease and can effectively solve the issue of the wet room no longer being usable.

   2. Unlimited design potential

   These shower trays truly are bespoke in all elements, from being able to make the tray any shape or size, you can also choose from an endless variety of colours to truly spruce up your bathroom. The bespoke option enables you to create the perfect shape and size for your bathroom solution, meaning you can have exactly what you envision as your end result! As well as this, there are practically limitless colour way options. As we offer a huge range of colours and styles including; marbles, granite, reflect and metallic finishes as well as classic solid RAL colours. The options really are endless.

   3. Waste position and more than one waste

   With a bespoke shower tray you are able to place your waste wherever you need too, helping solve the problem of having pre-existing pipework already being laid down. You won’t need to move any pipework or try and re-position joist positions. Instead the tray can be made to accommodate the already existing pipework and will happily suit the joist positions that are already in place. Saving both time and money on trying to change the already existing layout in your bathroom.

   Don’t worry about needing more than one standard waste fixture, with the bespoke option you can have multiple waste outlets placed on the tray where there are large volumes of water being used. Helping you have the best shower experience possible, by having a shower tray made to fit your needs perfectly.

   

   4. Unique shaping

   By getting a bespoke shower tray you will be able to get a tray that can be shaped around already existing walls and cut corners. Therefore, you won’t need to change the space to fit a standard tray into. This allows for less building work to need to take place as the tray will fit into the already existing placement and won’t require the space to be changed for the tray. This also allows for you to maximize the already existing space, as you can have a tray that makes the most of the oddly placed corners.

   5. Less downtime

   Bespoke trays are an efficient option for large projects such as up scaling and renovating a hotel. Having less downtime during a large renovation means that the venue will not have to be shut for as long. As the old tray can be removed and the new tray can be easily and efficiently put in, it means that the room being changed may only be out of action for a couple of days at most. Helping keep the venue open, with as little inconvenience as possible.

   Even though many believe that bespoke shower trays take a long time to make, the average lead time is typically around 4-6 weeks. This means you can have your new bathroom update quickly and efficiently. As well as this the Versital bespoke shower trays are all fully manufactured in Greater Manchester. This means we can get UK deliveries out quickly and efficiently.

   6. Easy Access Showers

   Bespoke shower trays can be made so that they cater to the needs of the user. One example of this is having an accessible and wheelchair friendly option for those who need that option. The tray can be made to ensure that the shower is accessible and convenient for the user.

   

   7. Custom anti-slip options

   In the Versital range we offer two effective anti-slip options, those being a traditional slate affect as well as a highly anti-slip option which is ideal for hospitality venues. However, in circumstances where there are larger roll outs and the client requires something different to what we offer, there is the option of bespoke anti-slip finishes. This can help add a custom element to the tray.

   Bespoke shower trays are surely making an impact in the showering scene. With many reasons to opt for this customizable, long-lasting and unique item. With all of the simplicity a bespoke shower tray offers it may be the most cost effective option when renovating a bathroom. It is worth seeing what a bespoke shower tray can do to improve your bathroom and life.

9. 5 Simple Ways to Elevate Your Bathroom Designs

   October 27, 2023 12:15 pm Leave a Comment

   The bathroom is increasingly becoming a retreat for the body and mind to escape the day to day stress that we experience. It is becoming the place where we opt to spend our free time to unwind and decompress after a long day.

   There is nothing better than relaxing in a lovely bath in a clean and relaxing space. With people increasingly prioritising the bathroom when re-decorating and levelling up their home, we have brought together 5 simple ways to elevate your bathroom specifications and designs.

   From high end touches of marble for a real feel of luxury, to making sure that your wall finishes are the perfect shade. The versatility of bathrooms is rapidly growing as clients increasingly turn to the idea of creating a spa-like serenity at home.

   1. Use Warm Tones

   Warm toned neutrals have become the epitome of relaxation and elevation of style. Taking over spas and home interior design alike, a warm neutral tone can be the perfect scheme to opt for to create the perfect spa/bathroom.

   Compliment the neutral tones by adding wonderful touches of metallic hardware, on your taps and fixtures. This will create a dramatic look with a contemporary touch. Opt for complimentary tones such as gold, brushed brass, chrome and copper.

   Play around with fun textures and different warm toned neutrals to ensure that the space doesn’t look bland and instead brings the bathroom to life with different tones and shades. Don’t be afraid to add some dimension to your design.

   

   Be inspired by the luxury spa style at Townhouse, which has opted for beautiful luxury warm tones in all its venue’s. Using Versital’s exclusive classic finish, Autumn onyx marble, throughout the salons. It’s easy to see why they are award winning! You can create the same style and aesthetic in your bathroom design by opting for an Autumn Onyx vanity top, wall panels or even a bespoke shower tray to create a cohesive luxury look.

   2. Effective and useful storage

   High quality storage solutions that cater to day to day needs is the perfect way to elevate any bathroom. Making it the perfect practical space for you and maximising the space available.

   Langley Interiors is the perfect example of a designer who really emphasises space design over everything else. Using high quality finishes for storage solutions that will withstand the wear and tear of day to day usage, whilst still looking like new.

   Consider using carefully arranged under sink storage, or if you are tight on space why not add built in wall shelving . Some even opt to make the most of empty space with under the bath storage for smaller necessities.

   Effectively curated storage solutions will elevate the usage of your bathroom whilst also making the users life easier.

   3. Wall Panels over tiles

   Tiles used to be the only real option for bathrooms. There are now lots of options available including custom bathroom panels making creating a luxury bathroom easier than ever.

   With an easy to clean finish due to minimal joints and the use of silicone to adhere the panels to the wall instead of grout, it means you have the perfect hypoallergenic product for your bathroom space. Wall panels only need to be wiped down to keep them clean. They also keep their luxury glossy finish throughout their lifetime.

   Versital offers hundreds of different colours for wall panels, allowing you to create the perfect tone and look for your bathroom. From classic marble finishes, to realistic granite options as well as bold sparkle finishes to match your colour scheme perfectly. Versital wall panels are also made to measure, allowing for them to fit the space perfectly without any overhang or annoying connection lines.

   

   4. High Quality Bath

   The bath is once again becoming the focal point of the bathroom. Consider opting for a high quality and classic bath that will be a favourite place to lie back and relax. By getting investing in quality, it will stand the test of time and continue being a relaxing haven years to come.

   Consider sectioning areas within the bathroom, by using colour and height to divide the bathroom into various sections of usage. Small details such as a ledge or small table by the bath are thoughtful additions for users to place candles, books and a drinks when using the bath.

   

   5. Luxury Matching Marble

   Matching high quality pieces are very much sought after when creating a bathroom that will stand the test of time. Versital offers bespoke shower trays, vanity units and shower panels which can all be made in the same finishes for the option to match throughout.

    CLASSIC MARBLE BAR TOP

    A marble bar top is the perfect way to add a touch of luxury to a classic venue. With the warm brown marble bar top perfectly complimenting the venue’s aesthetic. With all of the benefits Versital offers, as well as looking beautiful the top is also extremely practical being non-porous, highly stain resistant and hygienic bar top.

    Studio Two opted for a contemporary intricate edge detail to the bar top. This exclusive range of edge details offers designers more opportunities to add interest to their projects, whilst being practical and cost effective. This worked perfectly with the intricate panelled front to the bar.

    

    We are very excited to introduce our new range of edge details to our product. We are always speaking with designers and trying to come up with ways to create fun and creative design details to our product that are also practical and cost effective. The Manor has used the reverse waterfall edge which is cast and finished in the workshop ready to install. Being cast there are no joins to cause clients issues in the future.
