    Bar tops from Versital in Glacier pearlLatest Bar Installation at ‘The Buttermarket’ in Shrewsbury

    Versital’s latest bar installation is at Shropshire’s legendary entertainment venue – The Buttermarket.  The Buttermarket has made its’ return to its rightful place as Shropshire’s premier entertainment venue and been returned to its former glory.

    This beautiful nightclub has undergone a major refurbishment, opening in March 2012.  And the revamp isn’t over yet.  August this year will see the opening of stage two of the venue, with a large area upstairs for live music staging, as well as a dining area.

    Versital bar tops in ‘Glacier Pearl’ from the Reflect range were used through the venue, from the entrance reception, through to the main hall and private function rooms.

    “We are really pleased with the colour choice we went for with Versital; it contrasts nicely with the original fabric of the building. We have also chosen to go with different themed and coloured rooms throughout the venue, and the bar tops look great in all of them.  I love the gorgeous subtle sparkle.  Really looking forward to completing phase two!”
    Grant Lees – Manager at The Buttermarket

    Much of the venue has traditional elements with fabulous red brick walls which contrast with Versital beautifully. Versital worked closely with The Buttermarket to advise them on the best use of the product, with sizes, colour and specification.

    “I’m so pleased I had the opportunity to see this stunning venue for myself.   They have done a fabulous job of creating a modern nightclub venue using the latest technology, whilst remaining sympathetic to the original fabric of the building. Versital’s bar tops are a beautiful and practical edition to the venue, being hard wearing enough to deal with the traffic they are already experiencing. We look forward to working with them again in the future.”

  2. ‘The Assembly Rooms’ Choose Versital Again for Their Washrooms

    Versital Multiple Bowl Vanities Look ‘The Business’

    Versital offers a range of solid surface products to both commercial and domestic customers.  For public washrooms, multiple bowl vanities are very popular.  As well as straight vanity tops, Versital also offer the option of integral bowls and under mounted porcelain sinks.

    Versital vanity tops and multiple bowl vanities are made to measure to the exact specification of the designer or specifier.

    These Multiple Bowl Vanities with porcelain under mounted bowls were supplied to ABS Ideal Homes in Newcastle for The Assembly Rooms. This beautiful Georgian building dating back to 1776 is one of the Northwest’s Premier conference and banqueting centres. It has recently undergone renovations to bring the centre right up to date.

    “At ABS we supply bathroom equipment both to domestic and commercial customers. Both have different requirements when it comes to their bathrooms, but what doesn’t change is the need for good service and high quality products that last.  Versital Solid Surfaces have a range of products that cater for both. The Assembly Rooms in Newcastle have had Versital in their public washrooms before and were very pleased with how it lasted and looked, even years after installation. When they came to refurbish the venue, there was no question about them choosing Versital again for their multiple vanity tops.  I think you’ll agree – the final look of the installation is stunning!”
    Sally Weston – ABS Ideal Homes

    Creating The Perfect Washrooms

    Versital allows for both commercial and residential projects to create the perfect washrooms. With a vast range of colours, ranging from over 90. Including imitation marble finishes, granite and stunning sparkle finishes.

    Versital creates what you need on a made to measure basis, allowing you get the perfect fit for your washrooms. As well as enabling your vision to perfectly come to life.

    Versital has long been known for domestic home bathrooms, but as Gemma Stockberger explains, the needs for a public washroom don’t differ all that much from the ones in the home.

    “Although they might seem like completely different customers, commercial and domestic customers are more similar than you think. Domestic customers love Versital because it looks fantastic and is easy to keep.  Commercial customers with projects such as public washrooms have the same requirements; they want a great looking product that is hard wearing, easy to install and hygienic. Being made to measure makes Versital vanity tops very much a ‘Plug and Play’ product.  The solid surface and hygienic gel coat make the tops extremely vandal resistant and easy to keep.  We’re delighted The Assembly Rooms chose to use us again for their washrooms – their designer has done a fantastic job!”

  3. 3 Easy Steps to Make Any Bar or Restaurant Interiors Olympic Ready

    Leave a Comment

    Get Bar and Restaurant Interiors  Prepared For an Influx of Visitors

    With all the doom and gloom we have heard on the news of late, it could be easy to forget that this is actually a very exciting year for the UK, and one we have been working towards for a long time. It is of course the year of the Olympics being held in London.

    Whether you are a true sporting fan or not, this is definitely a time to celebrate being British and take advantage of the influx of visitors this will naturally bring, and of course taking advantage of our hospitality in our bars, clubs and restaurants.

    Along with the influx of tourists the Olympics will naturally bring , there will also be the ‘feel good’ factor surrounding the whole event and summer in general. Consumers feel more confident and happier to go out and about celebrating this time and at the same time spending money on food and drink.

    The first businesses to benefit from all this frivolity will no doubt be our fantastic bars and restaurants. To make the most of these new customers, and make sure they keep on returning, businesses are trying to make the most of their premises and update the decor as best they can. It is understandable that people are still more restricted than they have been in the past with their budgets, but there are ways that you can make the most of a smaller budget whilst making your venue looking welcoming.

    Here are some tips on how to improve your bar and restaurant interiors:

    1. A lick of paint!

    It’s amazing what a repaint of premises can do to brighten it up. If you are feeling a bit more artistic, you could also create a feature wall using some of the fantastic wallpaper available. This is the year of colour – experiment with your patterns and be as bold as you dare. Look for ideas on Flockyourwall, Ideal home magazine and Luci Living design.

     2. Recover your bar surfaces with a long lasting solid surface that will look fabulous.

    At Versital we offer bar tops that are made to measure and built to last, making your return on investment a wise one. Surfaces are waterproof, high gloss and stain resistant, making them ideal to use in a bar and restaurant environment. Being a decorative fascia, the bar tops are designed to go over your existing bar structure, so can be a very cost effective way to make a big impact. You can also choose to use Versital for your table tops to keep everything matching. Remember – Veristal surfaces can be refurbished after installation, making it possible to give your bar tops a face lift the next time something big happens!

    3. Improve your washroom areas.

    It is frequently underestimated how much impact the toilet facilities have on the impression people have of your establishment. Again, repaint these, clean and freshen them and replace any equipment that isn’t in full working order. If you want to do something a bit different, you could always add some integral bowls, work tops and panels or fascia in the sparkling ‘Reflect’ range from Versital to give your bathroom areas some real impact.

    Now is the perfect time of year to get started. Don’t leave it too late – the summer will come around quicker than you think! For more ideas and advice, please have a look at some of the commercial bar installations, or call us direct on 01204380780.
