Bathroom Butler 8200 Series

The 8200 Series is the tapered range in Bathroom Butler's numbered accessories, aimed at a classic or contemporary bathroom. It is compact: 18 lines, one for each item code, with no duplicate entries for different finishes, and every one of them polished stainless steel.

What tapered means here

Bathroom Butler's own wording is the most reliable description available: a uniquely tapered design whose tapered edges add a distinct style to the round design. The underlying profile is round, as it is on the 4600 Series, and the taper is an edge treatment on top of that rather than a different shape. Both series sit well with round tapware and round basin wastes, so the 8200 is the one to pick when you want the round profile to carry a bit more detail.

What the 18 codes cover

Numbering follows the same convention as the other numbered ranges: the first two digits are the series and the last two are the item. 8201 is a type 1 paper holder, 8202 type 2, 8203 type 2 with a flap and 8204 holds a second roll. 8210 and 8211 are the single and double robe hooks, 8220 is the 330mm shower rack, 8225 the 330mm glass shelf, 8230 the soap rack, 8238 the toilet brush and holder and 8240 the towel ring.

Rails take up the rest. 8270, 8272, 8275 and 8278 are single rails at 430mm, 650mm, 800mm and 1100mm, and 8282, 8285 and 8288 are the double rails at 650mm, 800mm and 1100mm. Two items that the larger series carry are not stocked in the 8200 here: there is no tumbler holder and no towel shelf, so if you want either of those in a matched set you will be pulling them from another range.

One finish, and how to plan around it

Every 8200 line stocked here is polished stainless steel. That makes specifying simple, because there is exactly one version of each item and no finish decision to get wrong on a schedule. It also means the 8200 is not the range to pick if the bathroom is going matt black or brushed: for those, look at the 8500 Series or the 4600. Compare towel rails and paper holders across the whole Bathroom Butler range before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Bathroom Butler 8200 Series look like?

It is a round range with tapered edges. Bathroom Butler describe it as a uniquely tapered design where the tapered edges add a distinct style to the round design. So the shape is round rather than square, with the taper worked into the edges as a detail. It gives the range a little more definition than a plain round profile without moving to a square one.

What finishes does the 8200 Series come in?

Polished stainless steel only, across all 18 items stocked here. There is no matt black, brushed or gold option in this series, which is why the range is one product per item code rather than three or four. If a bathroom is being specified in matt black or brushed stainless, the 8500 and 4600 Series are the ones to look at instead.

What do the numbers in an 8200 product name mean?

The first two digits are the series and the last two identify the item, the same convention the other numbered ranges use. 8201 is a type 1 paper holder, 8204 holds a second roll, 8210 and 8211 are the single and double robe hooks, 8230 is the soap rack and 8240 the towel ring. Rails carry their length: 8270, 8272, 8275 and 8278 are singles at 430mm, 650mm, 800mm and 1100mm.

Is the 8200 Series the same as the 8500 Series?

No, and the similar numbers are misleading. The 8200 is a round profile with tapered edges and the 8500 is a square design with slightly rounded edges. What they do share is the item map, so an 8270 and an 8570 are both 430mm single rails. The bigger practical difference is finish: the 8200 is polished only, the 8500 adds brushed and matt black.

Can I fit out a whole bathroom from the 8200 Series?

For the core items, yes. The 18 lines cover paper holders in four types, single and double robe hooks, a shower rack, a glass shelf, a soap rack, a toilet brush holder, a towel ring and single and double rails in four lengths. Two things are missing here: a tumbler holder and a towel shelf. Both exist in the 4600 and 8500 ranges in polished stainless.
