Report Summary

In 2014, the value of the shower equipment market saw an increase of around 4% compared to the market size in 2013, reflecting continued steady growth in the building and home improvement markets in particular. Between 2010 and 2012, the UK shower market was comparatively volatile, in line with the uncertain economic situation at this time. However, since 2013 the market for showering products has seen a notable increase, with demand picking up as the economy improves, the housing market recovers and consumer confidence levels improve.

The majority of UK households now have at least one shower installation in their property. The level of penetration has climbed significantly since the late 1990's to reach around 89% in 2014, this is equivalent to 23.8 million UK homes. Shower controls account for the greatest proportion of the overall shower equipment market though enclosures, screens and trays account for only moderately less than the shower controls sector. As a result of the maturing shower market and high level of shower usage, replacement products such as shower accessories have grown share to 13%. Many products are now designed specifically for retrofit purposes, with ease of installation an important consideration.

Shower products for the domestic and commercial sectors are distributed through a wide range of channels. The main distribution channel continues to be builders and plumbers merchants with the DIY multiples also holding a substantial share. Other retail channels include bathroom specialists, grocery multiples, mail order retailers and department stores. Online retailers are also becoming more important as consumers increasingly use the internet to source the best deals. Manufacturers are also selling spare parts and accessories direct to the consumer online.

The outlook for the UK shower equipment market in 2015 looks positive with good growth anticipated into the medium-longer term. However, pricing pressures are likely to remain intense due to rising levels of imported products and an increasingly competitive distribution market. Future trends include the growth in wetrooms and walk-in shower areas, the increasing popularity of digital showers and forecast growing demand for 'inclusive' shower products due to the ageing UK population, as well as growth in water efficient shower controls driven by the introduction of the Water Label on shower products from 2014.

Prosecutor says two attackers stabbed NMSU student to death | Lubbock Online

ALBUQUERQUE {AP} Crime scene evidence suggests New Mexico State University student Carly Martinez struggled with two men before she was murdered, prosecutors told jurors at the trial of Jason Desnoyers. The 18-year-old student was driven to a remote Las Cruces mesa , was stabbed more than a dozen times in the head, chest, abdomen, back, thighs and buttocks, and her body was "left to rot" in the desert, District Attorney Susana Martinez said Tuesday. Two weapons were used, a single-edged knife and another instrument, said prosecutor Martinez , no relation to the victim. "Two weapons, two men," she said. Desnoyers, 24, is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, tampering with evidence and criminal solicitation. Co- defendant Jesse Avalos , 26, is to be tried separately in September on similar charges. Defense attorney Gary Mitchell contends there was only one weapon. He said Avalos wore a belt with a knife, screwdriver and other tools the night Carly Martin

Black Frame Showers – Sophisticated With Modern Industrial Flair

Image
The showers that have black frames have a very distinctive look. They are defined by clean lines and a certain level of industrial beauty combined with modern simplicity. Black frame showers are pretty unique in this sense. They can be integrated in a variety of different types of decors. View in gallery View in gallery A black frame shower can be a main feature in a guest bathroom. In this particular example, the shower’s frame matches the frame of the wall mirror and that of the painting displayed on the wall. This way the décor becomes cohesive. What’s lovely here is the fact that the black elements are complemented by a white backdrop.{found on Maxwell and company}. View in gallery A similar type of cohesion is featured here where the shower enclosure is closed off with a glass and metal wall and a door that perfectly completes the grid. The sink vanity has the same type of graphical design, featuring a thin black supporting frame .{found on diespeker}. View in gallery In a lot

Stay in a Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO

Image
Set on a hilly incline and designed by architects Peter and Lukas Jungmann, the cabin appears to hover above ground like some sort of alien object—a stark contrast to its pastoral environment and the traditional Austrian chalets that surround it.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 1 of 11 -" /> Because of its irregular, otherworldly form, and how it seems to be suspended in midair, the cabin was named "Ufogel," which is a melding of the acronym UFO and "vogel," meaning bird in German.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 2 of 11 -" /> Available for rent through Urlaubsarchitektur, Ufogel’s exterior is covered in rustic Austrian-style shingles, but its sharp angles and asymmetrical shape gives it a distinctly futuristic, nest-like look.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 3 of 11 -" /> Within, the split-level, 485-square- foot space acc
