Methven, the global designer and manufacturer of premium showers and tapware, has won a bathroom contract for an £18 million hotel expansion in Northern Ireland. Ten Square Hotel on Donegall Square in Belfast began a major £18m expansion and refurbishment in late 2015, including the creation of a further 55 bedrooms in the former Lancashire House building during 2016.
Northern Ireland’s respected tile and stone specialist David Scott Tiles invited Methven to work on the project to develop a bathroom scheme which provided an enhanced guest showering experience, whilst at the same time ensuring the hotel conserved energy and water.
Methven’s Satinjet technology was selected thanks to the invigorating shower experience it delivers whilst still minimising water consumption. As a result, all 55 of the new bedrooms were fitted with Methven products.
The en-suite bathrooms included both a bath and walk-in shower enclosure. A Kaha concealed thermostatic valve with two outlets was fitted with a Kiri Satinjet shower kit to supply the bath and shower, while a minimalist single outlet valve and a flush mounted Satinjet shower head in chrome and graphite were installed in the shower area.
Accessible rooms featured the same level of luxury but were fitted with a Kiri Satinjet handset and lever thermostatic valve for ease of use.
Helen Scott, of David Scott Tiles, said: “Any hotel specification requires longevity of both design and performance. Methven was the optimum choice for Ten Square with the added benefit of energy and water saving. The client was delighted with the shower fittings and Methven’s customer service level made my job so easy.”
Methven has also unveiled plans to reveal a brand new collection at Sleep 2017 – Europe’s hotel design, development and architecture event.
Featuring Methven’s award-winning Aurajet technology, the new collection will introduce products with a bold new aesthetic to the New Zealand company’s portfolio.
Located at stand G34, the Methven exhibition will also showcase the Aio Black, a new addition to the company’s Aio range, which features all the benefits of Aurajet technology with a stunning black finish.
Martin Walker, CEO at Methven UK, said: “We’re delighted to be returning to Sleep in 2017 and we can’t wait to finally unveil our new collection. Visitors to the event should definitely pay us a visit and find out about our exciting plans for the future.”
