We've got Ideal Standard sanitaryware in our current house, and it's half decent looking but the some of the finishes leave a little to be desired. I'm a right picky sod though, and the missus thinks it's fine !
We're moving house shortly and are currently reading up on HansGrohe. It's been fitted in a few hotels we've stayed in recently and it's pretty impressive. Especially the RC stuff, 'tis a joy sitting watching the telly whilst setting the shower to warm up to your ideal temperature
Or, as I can imagine being more likely in our home, switching it on in the morning so getting out of the bed is a more appealing thought !
Not sure if our own budget will stretch to the RC kit but we'll definitely be having showers/taps of sorts from the range. Haven't really seen anything else that compares for our tastes.
