Burlington

Back in the late 19th century and well into the 20th, Britain was at the forefront of bathroom design and performance. Burlington offers an ever-increasing range of traditional bathroom items that allow you to easily create a period-style bathroom from the eras of Great British design. The range is extensive, and includes high level toilets, comfort height (slightly taller) WCs, basins with 1, 2, 3 or even 0 tap holes as well as beautiful furniture and accessories.

Burlington's bath range includes some really grand freestanding and roll top designs, each with a choice of different feet to match. Some beautiful brassware brings classic design combined with innovative technology. There's a choice of tap handles so you can customise your Burlington bathroom to suit you and a collection of beautiful matching toilets and bidets. With all Burlington products, you can be confident your purchase will stand the test of time with high quality construction and generous guarantees.

This indicates how many water outlets you can pair with your shower valves. Choosing valves with more outlets will give you flexibility over the number of products you can add to your shower. 

Each outlet from your shower valve will divert water to the section of your shower that needs it, so each extra outlet allows you to add another product. For example: with 1 outlet you could have just a fixed shower head. 2 outlets will allow you to have a fixed shower head and shower handset. 3 will allow both of these with the addition of a body jet.

Soil Pipe Direction:
This details which direction the soil pipe can run from the rear of the toilet.

Horizontal: the soil pipe can run directly into the wall behind the pan.

Vertical: the soil pipe can turn 90 degrees and run vertically into the floor.

Left or Right: the soil pipe can run either side from the rear of the pan, which is then typically boxed in.

This is for guidance only and not intended as a substitute for visual/physical checks; the size and type of your pan connector/pipework will have an impact on whether or not there is sufficient clearance.

Water Inlet Location:

This is the location where the mains water feed can connect to the cistern, when viewed from the front.
Cisterns that feature Bottom Left & Right inlets are usually supplied with a plug to seal the inlet which isn't used.

This figure shows you how thick the glass in your mirror, shower enclosure or doors will be. Thicker glass will often be more robust, which helps it last longer.

Your water pressure depends on your home's water system. It’s important to consider water pressure when buying a new tap or shower. Buying a product with a minimum water pressure that’s too high for your home will result in poor performance.

- With a combi boiler you can usually expect between 1 and 2 bar

- With a gravity system (cold water tank in attic) you may have as little as 0.1 or 0.2 bar upstairs, and perhaps 0.5 bar downstairs

- With a high pressure unvented system (hot water cylinder, no cold water tank) you will generally have between 1 and 3 bar

You can install an item with a low minimum pressure rating on a high pressure system, but avoid installing an item with a high minimum rating on a low pressure system! Read our guide to water pressure to learn more.

Maximum Adjustment

Sometimes one or two walls in the space you are planning on installing a shower door or enclosure may be ‘out of true’ or not perfectly straight. The maximum adjustment measurement indicates the highest ‘give’ a shower door or enclosure has to achieve a perfect fit.

Minimum Adjustment

Sometimes one or two walls in the space you are planning on installing a shower door or enclosure may be ‘out of true’ or not perfectly straight. The minimum adjustment measurement indicates the lowest ‘give’ a shower door or enclosure has to achieve a perfect fit.

This is the source of fuel your radiator or towel rail will use to provide heat. Radiators will generate heat through central heating systems, electricity, or a combination of both with dual fuel.

Central Heating:
These radiators will generate heat through the water pumped round your central heating system.

Electric:
Electric radiators contain fluid heated by an electrical element. They plug into a socket or are wired directly into the mains.

Dual Fuel:
Dual fuel radiators are able to run on both central heating and electric power. They contain a ‘summer’ heating element which will allow you to use your radiator in warmer months without needing to turn on your entire central heating system.

BTU (British Thermal Units) is a measure of the heat output of radiators. ∆t 50ºC is the standard output of boilers in the UK & Europe, so this figure is an indication of the heat output (BTU) your radiator will give you at this standard temperature. To find out the BTU you need for rooms in your home, take a look at our BTU Calculator.

Watts is a measure of heat output used for electric radiators, with a higher watt figure meaning a higher heat output. Purchasing a radiator that has the correct wattage will ensure your room will be at a comfortable temperature without wasting energy.

By using our BTU Calculator,you can calculate the number of watts your radiator needs to adequately heat your room.

Tap spouts are available in a variety of different styles which have an effect on both the look and function of your tap. Different spout types will have different heights and projections, so it’s important to choose one which will complement your basin or bath.
