New Showroom Makes a Splash

If you're looking to give your bathroom a new lease of life then a visit to Tu Mewn is an absolute must. The new showroom features inspirational bathroom sets, with some of the models in working order so that customers can visualise how they would work in their own homes. A special feature is the working whirlpool bath - sure to appeal to those looking to turn their bathrooms at home into a private spa retreat!

Some of the quality brands displayed and sold include Ideal Standard, Armitage Shanks, Pure Twyford, Ceramics Dolomite, Roca, Victoria and Albert, Mira and Aqualisa. There are countless more to mention and the friendly team will be more than happy to source any items not in stock.

Tiles and worktops are also available to co-ordinate with bathroom and kitchen designs. Tiles range from natural stone, slate and marble to porcelain, glass and mosaic from the likes of Groundwork, H & G Johnson, Pilkington and Saint Gobain. Tu Mewn can either arrange for a tiler to come and fit them for you or, if you fancy a spot of DIY, all of the tiling accessories and tools are available to purchase onsite.

Granite worktops are sourced from the acclaimed Cerrig of Pwllheli. Worktops can also be bought in laminate, wood and Minerelle - a new product set to take off as the next big thing. It looks like granite but is set on chipboard and is much cheaper. Any cracks or chips can be sanded down and polished to look good as new.

Tu Mewn also features ranges of bedroom and home office or study furniture and in this way can accommodate most of a household's fittings needs, from simple storage solutions to dramatic room conversions.

The showroom opened on August 13, 2005 - after a grand opening party on the evening of August 12. This glittering event was attended by 250 guests, and local Welsh Assembly member Dafydd Wigley officially opened the showroom doors. The evening was a huge success, not only showcasing the fabulous ranges on offer in store but also providing great entertainment from John ac Alun, and fantastic hospitality with a hog roast and flowing wine all night!

Emma and her partners are delighted with business so far and have been truly encouraged by the positive responses at the event and in subsequent days. She said: "We have put a lot of effor and thought into getting our brands, products and designs right so it is encouraging to hear that others agree with what we have done". She added: "We look forward to welcoming new customers and showing them around the shop".
