Customer service & aftercare PLANNING TIPS AND ADVICE
CONCEALING PIPEWORK One of the benefits of using our Fitted Furniture is that unsightly pipework can run along skirting boards and walls whilst being concealed behind the units. The furniture is designed with a plinth height of 180mm, which means that even soil pipes can run under the units. All standard depth base units feature a generous 50mm void at the back, which allows waste pipes and copper pipes to run along the walls whilst being concealed behind the units. Your fitter will only have to notch out the side panel of the unit where the pipe traverses. In addition to the 50mm pipe void, basin units in both slim and standard depth configurations feature a removable back panel to aid the installation process. (See diagrams below).
ELECTRICS & CHARGER POINT DETAILS When planning your bathroom, note where any lighting or electrical supply cables are situated. It may be necessary to move these. It is advised that this work is done after the old bathroom fittings are removed but before the new installation begins. Always use a qualified electrician for any work carried out in a bathroom. Your retailer may be able to advise when to schedule an electrician, or consult your fitter or electrician for more advice. Please note that Roper Rhodes cannot give specific advice on electrical installations. When planning where to locate lighting, it is vital that the IP rating of the device is taken into account as this will affect which zone of the bathroom the fitting can be located in. Your electrician will be able to advise further on bathroom zones and which electrical appliances can be sited where. Remember to allow for the provision of switching for any new lighting. It is recommended that, whilst you are at the planning stage, you make an allowance for the installation of a suitable extractor fan to remove excess water from the atmosphere. After the furniture has been fitted, plan for an electrician to come back and install light fittings or electrical devices which are used. MIRRORS Our mirrors (over 560mm wide) feature heated mirror pads to prevent them from misting up. Your electrician can connect the heated mirror pad to the domestic supply so that the pad is switched on and off when your bathroom lighting is operated. Heater pads should not be connected to a permanently live supply. Please note, mirrors must never be installed above a bath or shower.
