Saving water should always be top of mind in a water-scarce country, and the best place to start is in your home. In this feature we look at the bathroom, and offer you a guide to choosing eco-friendly products.

CLEVER BATHS AND BASINS

The V&A Warndon bath is inspired by the beauty of Romanesque architecture, says Nicole Russell, marketing manager at Italtile. “Warndon is a generously sized 1 700mm-long bathtub created from state-of-the-art solid surface material, QUARRYCAST. Rich in Volcanic Limestone, its naturally white form combines exquisite proportions with the luxury of being silky smooth and warm to the touch.

“Victoria & Albert sanitaryware is of the highest quality that one will find. The baths and basins are made from a customised QUARRYCAST material that is made by combining Volcanic Limestone and resin.”

According to Roxanne Pillay, head tile and bathroom ware specialist at Rocco Tile, “Freestanding stone baths have excellent heat-retention properties keeping the bath water hotter for longer while reducing the electricity consumption of the geyser. Stone baths at Rocco Tile are available in matt, gloss and metallic finishes in a range of luxury styles.

“And with regards to colour, Rocco Tile can customise the colour to our clients’ specific requirements from a selection of 213 available colours. Naturally, black and white options of the stone baths are readily available.”
