Phoenix Accessories includes linear and square floor grates and double towel rails. The finishes shown are chrome and brushed metal tones. These are practical finishing items, and choosing them early helps your tiler and plumber work around them.
For a floor grate, check the waste outlet in the floor, the shape of the grate and how it suits your tile layout. A linear grate generally runs along one edge or across the recess, so confirm the fall of the floor with your tiler before the tiles are laid. For a double towel rail, choose a spot within reach of the shower but out of the spray, and check that doors and vanities clear it. Wet towels are heavy, so ask your installer to fix into solid backing or studs rather than into tile alone.
We deliver Australia-wide, and you can ask our team at the North Parramatta and Taren Point showrooms to help you choose.
FAQs
1. Should I choose a linear or a square floor grate? A linear grate suits a floor that slopes toward one edge, while a square grate suits a drain placed within the floor. Your tiler can tell you which fits your layout. Decide before the floor is set, as changing it later is difficult.
2. How do I know a floor grate suits my waste outlet? Check the outlet already in the floor, or the one your plumber plans to install, and compare it with the grate. Also allow for the thickness of your tiles. Confirm both with your plumber and tiler before ordering.
3. How do I fix a double towel rail securely? Locate a stud or have solid backing placed behind the wall during construction. Mark the fixing points with a level before drilling. If the wall is tiled, use a drill bit made for tile and avoid the tile edges.
4. Where is the best place for a towel rail? Place it where you can reach it from the shower without it getting soaked. Make sure door swings, vanity doors and screens clear it. Hold a towel against the wall to test the position before fixing.
