Bathroom Butler Lavish
Lavish Bathroom Accessories
Lavish is a fifteen piece accessory range and every item listed here is chrome. It is a round design, with soft curves on the hooks, the ring and the rail ends, so it suits a bathroom that already has round tapware or a curved basin. The range runs to single and double towel rails, an open towel ring, single and double robe hooks, a paper holder and a spare roll holder, a toilet brush and holder, a glass tumbler and holder, a soap shelf, a shower and soap shelf, and a shower corner shelf. That is the complete set as the maker publishes it, so a whole bathroom can be fitted out from one range.
Choosing rail sizes
The single rails are listed at 404mm, 625mm and 800mm, the doubles at 625mm and 775mm. Size to the wall run rather than the towel, and leave clearance at both ends so a hung towel is not pressed into a corner or a door architrave. An 800mm single lets a bath towel hang fully open, which does more for drying time than anything else. The 404mm is the one for a guest cloakroom or the short wall between a basin and a shower door. Where two people share, a double rail carries two towels in the width of one.
How Lavish is built and fixed
Lavish accessories combine moulded zinc alloy parts with grade 304 stainless steel tubing under chrome plating, with the stainless steel used for wearing parts such as the horizontal rails. They fix using the Wonder-Mount system, a patented fixing designed to stop an accessory rotating or working loose on its mounting. Plugs, screws, an allen key and a mounting template are supplied.
They suit masonry, concrete and tiled walls using the supplied fixings, and drywall where the fixing lands on a stud. Check for pipework before drilling. If the room is still being tiled, set out the fixing positions before the tiler starts, because moving one later means lifting a tile.
Lavish or Elemental
Lavish and Elemental are the same set of pieces in two shapes. Elemental is the square version, Lavish the round one, and past the geometry there is genuinely nothing between them: same chrome finish, same fixing system, same items. Choose the one that matches your tapware and stay in it. See the Bathroom Butler brand page, the square Elemental range, or every Bathroom Butler towel rail.
