We’re chuffed to announce that we’ve teamed up with Ashton & Bentley to distribute their sumptuous baths in East Anglia. Now…. we pride ourselves in fitting out top class showers and wet rooms but baths, while not the new water-saving luxury, are still allowed! Yes, don’t take our word for it. The Guardian reported last July stats from the Energy Saving Trust no less…..
“The findings have emerged from the biggest ever study of how Britons use water…………. using data supplied by 86,000 British households and commissioned by the Energy Saving Trust.
Showers are by far the biggest consumers of water in the home, consuming 25%, with toilets second at 22%. An average shower lasts seven-and-a-half minutes, yet cutting just a minute off that time would save British households £215 million on energy bills each year, the report said.
On average, Britons shower 4.4 times a week, and take 1.3 baths. People living in larger households with more people take fewer showers each week, but stay in them longer. While a quarter of respondents have efficient eco-showerheads installed, a similar proportion have high-flow – and wasteful – power showers.”
Current water saving advice on the EST website is …’If everybody in your family of four replaces one bath a week with a five-minute shower, you can save up to £15 a year on gas bills and up to £25 on water bills (if you have a water meter).’
So there you are, replace one bath with a shower, but for all your other baths get us to fit an Ashton & Bentley masterpiece and wallow in luxury – knowing you’ve done your bit!
