			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.grpdentil.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/shutters-in-bathroom-setting.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-102 alignleft" title="shutters-in-bathroom-setting" src="http://www.grpdentil.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/shutters-in-bathroom-setting-224x300.jpg" alt="bathroom window shutters example" width="224" height="300" /></a>We’ve been updating bathrooms for our clients for some time with innovative new designs utilising contemporary bathroom furniture as well as off the shelf bathroom products. We have a full bathroom design service which includes measuring and installing for our completed home designs. Whether our interior design clients are looking for something chic and modern or classic styling we have a range of suppliers and designers ready to style the most demanding of bathroom spaces, whether large or small.</p>
<p>One element which we often get asked, and in fact is regularly overlooked by our clients is what to fit on the bathroom windows. After using and building-in a range of design solutions for widows we have settled on almost exclusively utilising window shutters as the choice bathroom window fixture. There are a number of reasons for this, however mainly when we use hard wood <a title="USA style bathroom shutters" href="http://www.theshutterstore.com/Gallery/Bathroom-Shutters-Could-Finish-Your-Boston-Bathroom~138.html">bathroom shutters</a> from our suppliers they will always be made of durable solid wood which provides basic <a title="waterproof window shutters example" href="http://www.shutterlyfabulous.com/gallery/bathroom-shutters.html">waterproof bathroom shutters</a> when using out of direct spray areas, but within highly humid zones. Ideal for wet environments and stylish to boot.</p>
<p>When correctly treated hardwood gives a brilliant water resistant finish and we find our clients are really responsive to having adjustable louver shutters inside their bathrooms as this gives us a perfect way of controlling all important privacy in the bathroom without having limp or damp curtains. Interior <a title="plantation shutters used as bathroom covering" href="http://www.plantationshutters.co.uk/Gallery/Devon-Shutters-for-the-bathroom-in-Torquay~548.html">bathroom plantation shutters</a> give a clean finish for this type of room, take up very little extra space when this is generally at a premium in small rooms like the bathroom. Simply twisting the slats on the shutters for bathroom windows will adjust the light, create a screen, provide privacy and be waterproof enough for any out of direct spray areas.</p>
<p>We’ve used this type of window covering for modern bathrooms where we have implement glass basins and walk in shower units, as well as classic Victorian style rooms with gold guilt fixtures and long chains. Interior shutters work well with such a broad range of styles for the bathroom that we can only recommend them strongly and say so to all of our clients. If you want to get a feel for how they look try any of the links in this article and you will see which ones work best for your home bathroom environment. Please do <a title="contact GRP Dentil" href="/contact">contact us</a> with any specific room questions, general interior design questions or comments about our work and we will be only too happy to entertain your ideas.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whilst not our intention to attract <strong>media attention for our residential architectural designs</strong> we are finding more media being published about our suppliers and our designs within the world of interiors. These can include individual articles such as <a title="designs in the press" href="http://www.ukhomeideas.co.uk/ideas/interior-design/window-shutters/kelly-hoppen%E2%80%99s-unique-range-of-bespoke-shutters">this article</a> and this one <a title="blog demostrating press in design" href="http://www.katyelliott.com/blog/labels/curtains">here</a>, as well as national delivery mechanisms through normal PR channels.</p>
<p>The impact this will have on the designs we provide ensures that we are always conscious of <em>working to best practices</em>, ensuring <em>customer satisfaction</em> as well as keeping abreast of the delivery of information to press. With our larger new homes and extension clients where we will often work as an <strong>outsourced solution GRP Dentil</strong> ensure clients receive the right kind of exposure for their building projects. We will respect where possible our clients <a href="http://www.grpdentil.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/media-press-coverage.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-83" title="media-press-coverage" src="http://www.grpdentil.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/media-press-coverage-200x300.jpg" alt="Our stance on press coverage for our interior clients" width="200" height="300" /></a>right to privacy and extend this to the media where coverage is inappropriate for domestic situations. Our designs regularly receive press because of the sustainable nature of the architecture we design, because of the materials we use, and the solutions we find to client problems such as window treatments used (LINK ) and other aspects of the design.</p>
<p>We do find certain key figures within press and media contacting our offices on a regular basis establishing current projects, budgets and new building locations, we often will point them to the end user or supplier if we are made aware of restrictions on design circulation and censorship. Please mention media guidelines during our initial meetings when contacting us to specify your design project. You may <a title="contact GRP Dentil" href="/contact">contact us here</a>.</p>

Architecturally there are no other window coverings which come close to <strong>interior shutters </strong>as demonstrated in this article here What they are covering is high end <a title="Homes magazine article with interiors" href="http://archive.homesandbargains.co.uk/article.php?article_id=1037">interior design like this</a>. What these coverings demonstrate is that with the clean lines and wide slats which we invariably opt for in our architectural designs, you will see <strong>clean and space saving window coverings</strong> which are ideal for most interior window applications. These can include commercial designs for hotels or restaurants where customers might require a change in ambience or in home designs when we are creating classic interiors for discerning clients. We’ll always opt for <a title="choosing the right products" href="/sustainable-interior-design-products">sustainable products</a> where we can as these will give the client benefits in marketing and peace of mid irrespective of whether they are <em>commercial</em> or <em>privately</em> commissioned.</p>
<p>Buying treatments which are <strong>eco and design friendly</strong>, <strong>custom made</strong> and <strong>unique</strong> to each design does not necessarily incur extra charges over products generally available on the open market. We have preferred suppliers naturally, extend sensible discounts and work with custom designs at a 10% premium, making our window offerings more cost effective than many off the shelf solutions, yet with clear design differentials.</p>

When we’re sourcing materials like concrete this is  tough to source, however if for example we are looking for sustainable  wood products we would scan the <a title="FSC wood suppliers" href="http://www.fsc-uk.org/products/Company.aspx?co_id=3">FSC site</a> and <a title="Examples of more wooden FSC product supplier" href="http://www.fsc-uk.org/products/Company.aspx?co_id=31">here</a> for suppliers who adhere to durable properties from their products.</p>

Working out the carbon cost of our products utilised within interiors can be a time consuming practice, however we are selected as interior designers for that very purpose. We work within government guidelines set our for the construction industry when we are involved with <a title="architectural design styles" href="/architectural-buildings-working-nbs-specification">architectural design</a>, click here to read more about this. It is essential for our classic designs that we can forward plan interior ideas at GRP Dentil which integrate environmental solutions with our design plans. Other organisations who we would look to for products which can be used in an environmentally responsible way might include <a title="environmental products certification" href="http://www.greenseal.org/">Greenseal</a> and low emission or transportation companies.</p>

<p>Creating designs under new buildings will often entail dealing with local authorities and we take every care to establish which documentation is required depending on the building task planned. We will action <em>planning applications for extensions and new builds</em>, dealing with local council and architects where necessary, we source local mapping as required by building regulations and take the entire weight of build project management and product specification depending on budgets available. Typically a new build from planning draft to build stage one could be between 9 months and 2 years, with a build time dependent on working budget and scale, again generally between 9 months and 1.5 years.</p>
<p>Extensions or loft conversions will take considerably less time if architectural designs are within keeping with the local area and the departments guidelines. All drawings are developed with the se in mind and our experience covers a broad are within the UK.</p>
