Plumbers merchant Plumbase has officially opened its new kitchen and bathroom showroom in Colne, Lancashire.
Plumbase Colne was formerly Boundary Bathrooms, which was acquired by the Grafton Group business in January and and has been closed for the redesign and fit-out.
The branch is one of several new showroom concepts rolling out across the UK this year by Plumbase. The concept is designed to encourage the trade to take their customers, so they can choose for themselves from the vast range of kitchens and bathrooms.
The Mayor of Pendle, Councillor Nawaz Ahmed, officially opened the 3,000sqft showroom over the bank holiday weekend.
At the heart of the showroom is a fully working kitchen, specially designed to offer cookery demonstrations with the latest steam ovens, induction hobs and Quooker boiling water tap.
More than 20 bathroom bays showcase the latest designs including a wide range of wet rooms and showers.
Plumbase showroom manager, Helen Seed, who helped design the showroom in Colne, said: “The old site was dated and in need of a revamp. So as well as rebranding we have invested in a new layout and design to bring it up to date. We have a huge range of designs to suit all tastes and budgets with some of the latest technology, so it’s fantastic to be able to showcase them in the best possible light.
“The new showroom is beautifully designed so tradespeople can be confident in bringing their customers. Consumers are also welcome on their own. We can offer design services and home visits as well as introduce them to a reliable local builder or plumber.”
