Most modern homeowners understand the many benefits of making their bathroom environmentally-friendly – and the wide range of showers, taps and baths available means that combining style with green credentials is easy.
Mira showers and other brands can all help homeowners cut back on the amount of water and energy their bathroom uses, and there are also a number of toilets available that reuse water and boast enviable eco-friendly qualities.
Mira showers are available in several different types, including Mira Electric Showers, Mira Mixer Showers and Mira Power Showers. The exact temperature controls on many, combined with thermostatic switches, ensure that people can have complete control over how hot or cold their shower is – which is ideal for eco-conscious homeowners.
Different types of showerheads can be bought to change the flow of water and reduce the amount used in a shower, which can help to reduce household bills and increase the green credentials of a home.
Bathroom users should try keeping showers to less than five minutes to further reduce water use, and should also keep the temperature dial as low as they can tolerate to ensure that the eco-friendly credentials of a bathroom are not ruined by using more power than necessary to heat water.
Those seeking a mix between aesthetic style and environmentally-conscious design should look into installing one of the many Hans Grohe showers available in their home.
With options including square-headed waterfall type showers – which remove the need for any fiddly adjustments to the height of a showerhead when someone else has been in the bathroom first – these luxurious options ooze style and sophistication and can still be part of an eco-conscious bathroom.
A great buy for those hoping to make their bathroom as environmentally-friendly as possible is the Mira Extra Bath Shower Mixer, which has a water-saving economy setting on its handset.
It also has three different spray settings for the comfort of the user, with the soothe option ideal for showering before bed, and the force mode great for waking up tired eyes ahead of the morning commute.
For extra eco-friendly credentials, homeowners looking for new bathrooms should certainly look into complementing their green shower with a dual flush toilet. Old-fashioned chain toilets use the same amount of water each time they are used, meaning a lot of wasted water over a lifetime.
Dual flush button toilets are ideal for controlling the amount of water used, and with two buttons – one for a short flush and one for a longer flush – toilet users can do their bit towards water conservation and going green.
Mixer taps can help finish off a bathroom’s look and are ideal for those conscious of the amount of water that traditional separate hot and cold tap designs can use.
Little extras in a bathroom can help take them from functional to luxurious and green homeowners need not sacrifice every high-end feature when aiming for an eco-friendly bathroom.
Heated towel rails are lovely in the cold of a winter morning, but can use a lot of energy. By keeping the thermostat at a constantly lower temperature instead of just switching it on when the room is in use, the rail will still pleasantly heat a towel and the room around it and remain cosy all day long without using lots of power.
