Park Lane Bathroom Accessories

Measure the length and width of your bath, the first number (1700mm) is the long side length and the second (700mm or 750mm) is the short end width. A pack labelled 1700/700mm contains a 1700mm side panel and a 700mm end panel so you have both pieces for a built-in bath that is 1700mm long and 700mm wide. If your bath is 1700 x 750mm buy the 1700/750mm pack; if you only need one panel you can buy single side (1700mm) or end (700mm/750mm) panels. a standard 1700 x 700 bath in a family bathroom will typically use the 1700/700mm pack so both visible faces are finished.

The round door handles are specified for Winchester vanity units, and the smaller 28mm chrome knob is a general furniture knob that complements the range. Finishes available include black, chrome and brushed brass for the Winchester handles, and gloss or matt panel finishes such as Winchester Matt Blue, Green, Dark Grey, Grey Gloss, Oxford Grey and Black Gloss. Match a chrome handle to chrome taps for a cohesive look, or choose brushed brass to warm up a traditional bathroom with cream tiles. If you have a Winchester-matt-colour vanity, use the matching Winchester handles to keep the period look consistent.

These bath panels are made from MDF with a finished surface such as Winchester matt or gloss, which gives a neat traditional appearance and is stable for bathroom furniture. To keep MDF panels looking good, avoid prolonged direct water contact and wipe splashes dry promptly; good room ventilation also reduces moisture exposure. For cleaning, use a soft cloth and mild detergent, avoid abrasive pads that could damage the finish. With basic care, an MDF panel in a shower-free bath area will last well and retain its finish.

A "traditional side" panel refers to the long side of a built-in bath that runs along the length of the room, while an end panel covers the short face at the bath's end. You need an end panel if the end of your bath is exposed to view, beside a vanity or where the bath abuts a wall gap; the side-and-end pack gives you both. If your bath is fitted in an alcove with both long sides against walls, you might only need a side panel. a single exposed end in a suite layout often looks neater with the matching 700mm or 750mm end panel.

The soft close mechanism prevents slamming, reduces noise and protects the seat and pan over time, which is especially useful in family bathrooms. The top-fix design lets you fasten the seat from above, making installation and future adjustments much easier if the pan sits close to a wall or vanity unit. This particular seat is a round, top-fix white model, so it's a straightforward match for classic white pans and traditional schemes. If you want a quiet, simple-to-fit seat, soft close with top-fix is a sensible choice.
