Techno Bathrooms - Technology Scientific Discipline For The Bathroom

Technology as well as bathrooms, is it shaping the modern hateful solar daytime bathroom? is it creating trends for the modern hateful solar daytime bathroom? how has engineering sharped history inwards the bathroom? Well this post service volition comprehend it inwards a nutshell; xvi Years agone Simona as well as Darren set out to create a luxury bath build as well as engineering played a huge component inwards our yesteryear as well as it plays a massive component of our future. 

16 Years agone nosotros decided to move out gainful work to pursue our vision, a vision that was born from a unmarried 3D CAD image. When nosotros set out xvi years ago technology was non a large component of luxury bathrooms, luxury was seen every bit size, location as well as the utilisation of marble.  

Fast forrard to today as well as this is our team, over concluding 4 years inwards item nosotros receive got grown rapidly - our aim is to develop youth taking immature students every bit they consummate at that spot training. Thru engineering as well as our experience we receive got developed a proven organisation to deliver amazing results for our clients. 

We are a 3D CAD pattern studio, every customer gets the chance to come across their proposed novel kitchen or bath pattern inwards truthful 3D CAD alongside all textures applied, lighting every bit it would move allowing the customer to build informed as well as educated decisions about their projection long earlier a hammer has been swung.  

A few examples or our most viewed as well as know bath projects. 

Our Dover Heights projection has taken out International Design Awards every bit good every bit meany local accolades

Clovelly bath - Australian Bathroom Design of the Year 2016

Technology shaped this infinite but non thru gadget to a greater extent than thru evolution of materials

Technology is shaping the earth but when nosotros think engineering nosotros at in i trial think gadget right? no wrong, engineering has changed the landscape of the modern Australian bath for ever. Thru CAD as well as engineering scientific discipline nosotros are seeing engineering shape materials as well as production pattern to a greater extent than than e'er as well as of coarse nosotros are seeing CAD pattern shape customer decisions as well as designer guidance to a greater extent than than e'er - heck nosotros tin can fifty-fifty walk thru our spaces earlier they are built inwards total 3D! We utilisation our smart phones to search images as well as trends from every bag f the globe...

Before nosotros teach into how tech is shaping the modern bath nosotros should move dorsum as well as come across how tech has shaped the concluding 150 years of the Australian bathroom. 

So lets start at the 19th century, the bath was considered the "ugly room" it was the ugliest room of whatever home, at that spot was no running water, no lights, no sewerage as well as most defiantly no hot water.  

Out Room – The bath had no running water, the bath had to move filled alongside H2O heated from the stove overstep as well as the lav was located inwards the nurture of the yard. Washing was done alone a few times a week.

Published inwards the tardily 19th Century the bath was all of a abrupt seen every bit agency to preserving wellness as well as enhancing the beauty of a private – Although at that spot was no hot H2O for the shower it was considered that a adept breakfast would teach y'all though the daze of a mutual frigidness shower. The morn shower was designed to refresh & stimulate, the weekly bath (usually at night) was to relax as well as cleanse.

As the century turned at that spot was a alter of thought. 

1920 - THE Bathroom moves inside

The bath moved inside, the bathrooms where mainly white alongside with a prissy edge tile. Chrome became pop from your measure raw brass tapware.

1930 - Hot Water

Gas as well as Electric hot H2O systems are introduced to most homes. Advertisements begun to pull this relaxation idea our greater connection to H2O as well as it's benefits begins

1930 - Colour – A novel era begins every bit the bath becomes a infinite alongside luxuries such every bit hot water. With companies such every bit Kohler pushing the boundaries of color to force the consumer to this bolder novel future

Everything that is quondam is novel in i trial again – Check out the colours inwards this image. Pantone Colour of the Year 2016 was Rose Quartz as well as 2015 was Marsala. Typical features of the catamenia is contrasting colours accents, vanity units began, showers over baths alongside no drinking glass screens are the full general go. 

1950 Mid Century

The starting fourth dimension of a novel era, the state of war was over as well as dwelling making move a serious occupation organisation – the modernist crusade began thence did a novel works life involvement as well as commitment to design. This is the initiatory of all fourth dimension a bath featured on the comprehend of whatever lifestyle magazines hither inwards Australia. 

1970's - Toilets 
New Prime Minister Gough Whitlam announces that the lav is moving within as well as all homes volition receive got flushing sewerage as well as depository fiscal establishment check out the color selections of the humble toilet. 

1970's Things are getting bold – The seventies volition move remembered for its complimentary love, pilus downwards as well as political party liberty but the bath aesthetic changed dramatically inwards this period. History volition move for ever changed when nosotros come across images like the adjacent i with carpet in the bath nosotros tin can empathise why...what were they thinking!

 Those Curtains – the liberty of spoken communication as well as complimentary love…sorry i had to portion it is really hard to un-see this icon :) !

1974 - Pilkington Creates float glass, the consistent thickness as well as affordable manufacturing procedure is developed, hullo shower screens!

1980 Dual Flush Toilets are invented inwards Commonwealth of Australia yesteryear Caroma as well as the World goes crazy for them. Saving thousands of litres per toilet, per twelvemonth - it fifty-fifty eliminated the 1970s proverb "if its yellowish allow it mellow, if its brownish level it down"

1985 Warm Feet life's little luxuries start to develop. 

1990 - SPA Bathrooms receive got increased inwards sized as well as at that spot is a overflowing of oversized spa baths taking over the suburban home.

A Small thing called the WWW hits computers around the world, making the globe a smaller place. 23rd August 1991 Berners Lee launches the initiatory of all spider web site to showcase his services - Initially launched thence academics could retrieve data easily. People similar Elon Musk - Steve Jobs as well as Bill Gates sore something different

2001 

We set out on our chance (check us out) to solve the worlds problems, i bath at a time; A overnight success that every bit taken xvi years inwards the making. In 2001 every bit a straight reply to H2O restrictions nosotros developed our initiatory of all washbasin - The Puddle. Before WELS nosotros develop a organisation to cut back household water consumption as well as to force the alter to the bath aesthetic.

2004 Freestanding Baths

This novel style of bathtub takes the modern bath inwards Commonwealth of Australia yesteryear storm.

Facebook in 10 years has defined a generation as well as shaped the social scene similar never before. Currently xvi i K 1000 users inwards Commonwealth of Australia which has shaped the way nosotros interact alongside each other as well as the way nosotros eat information. 

WELS Water Efficiency Labelling System - Tapware has to at nowadays perform to a mandatory grade of litres per infinitesimal to move eligible for sale inwards Australia. Prior to this appointment tapware at the average mitt basin was running at 25 to thirty litres per minute! A crazy idea really, at nowadays nosotros are running on average at 4 to half-dozen litres per minute. 

2007 Apple and Steve Jobs change history forever, the iPhone is released alongside to a greater extent than computing might inwards our pockets than what NASA had when America landed on the satelite inwards 1980, we have never been to a greater extent than connected to the earth as well as information is alone a Google away. 

Social Media has changed the landscape for thence much of our daily life, our lifestyles as well as it tin can fifty-fifty influence trends. Here a few stats to dorsum this up

What happens inwards sixty Sec on Social media

Check out the Penetration of Internet users as well as Active Social Media users hither inwards Commonwealth of Australia to the repose of the worlds, nosotros LOVE digital as well as Social Media 

So that is our brusque history lesson, thence lets hold off to the future. 

With opened upwards programme living thence large inwards Australia, nosotros are starting to think, hi the bath is the alone room inwards the occupation solid i teach to myself...it is personal, it is indulgent it is all nigh you!

WARNING - THE JETSON'S ARE COMING.

Launched 23rd September 1963

Smart toilets are a affair folks, yes they come upwards alongside spot warmers, feet warmers, music, at that spot ain PAD controller as well as a host of other features! Check out this Vid cast Kohler. 

Micro LED is a estimator chip that volition sack for 60,000 human hours as well as is 1mm thin.

Advancements inwards LED engineering has allowed us to build spaces experience warmer as well as to a greater extent than calming to move in; for thence long nosotros receive got been reliant on straight lighting i.e downlights to lite a room but this is a really very wretched way to lite a infinite every bit the lite is really harsh as well as at that spot is a lot of glare. As LED gets to a greater extent than powerful as well as stable over a longer catamenia of fourth dimension nosotros tin can utilisation it to reverberate lite thence the lite levels are to a greater extent than fifty-fifty as well as balanced inwards a space....making them much nicer to move in. 

 For thence long nosotros receive got genuinely had alone i stuff for basins, ceramic - this whilst serving its purpose was a adept stuff it does receive got a shelf life every bit the glaze volition at some betoken article of apparel out. Material advancements thru the utilisation of Technology such every bit Corian, Staron as well as other acrylic materials as well as alongside the advancements inwards CAD CAM nosotros are creating all kinds of wonderful shapes for the bath mitt basin as well as they inwards some cases tin can move made cast a unmarried slice of material so at that spot is no silicon joint. I tin can hither y'all tell YES every bit i type. 

By reducing the waterflow (WELS Labelling) coming from your tapware it agency basins practise non receive got to move thence deep, they tin can inwards fact move really shallow thence this changes habit also. Instead of filling a basin total of H2O to shave lets say, y'all tin can move out the H2O running thence y'all are cleaning the blade non splashing around inwards dingy water.  A lot of basins coming out of Europe at nowadays practise non receive got plugs, they are complimentary flowing launder basins. 

Here nosotros come across the combination of CAD CAM, LED lighting as well as stuff advancements all moulded every bit i amazing solution. You tin can pigment the front end whatever color y'all like, the lite tin can move whatever color y'all like.  

The humble bath vanity is taking bold novel steps cheers to CAD CAM as well as marketplace demand. As nosotros search to a greater extent than as well as to a greater extent than thru our Social Media as well as teach inspiration from all parts of the globe nosotros are seeing the bath vanity alter its name; it is at nowadays bath furniture. We desire these slice of furniture pieces to move improve looking, improve organised as well as made improve thence they concluding longer. 

Technological advances inwards mechanisms hateful the traditional shaving cabinet cab redesigned to move to a greater extent than functional as well as practical for everyday use. 

Drawers that opened upwards yesteryear touching the human face upwards completely handle complimentary allows a alter of thinking. The waste matter piping dominates whatever drawer or vanity when the drawer is placed nether the sink. 

The shape of tapware has changed as well as this tin can alone happing thru manufacturing techniques, mechanism as well as the might to create these amazing shapes thru Computer Aided Design as well as Computer Aided Manufacture CAD CAM

We receive got all seen the way Black Tapware has come upwards over the marketplace identify but inwards a lot of the cases the Powder Coat destination of the dark taps (over a longer catamenia of time) volition non concluding the try of time. Now alongside PVD or Physical Vapor Deposition this is changing, basically this is a procedure that takes the stuff from a condensed stage to a celluloid as well as is as well as then vacuumed onto the brass or stainless steel.

 Like basins baths are breaking the mould; stuff advancements as well as CAD CAM genuinely are shaping the hereafter of the bathtub. We receive got seen over the years the freestanding bath accept existent shape inwards the Australian Bathroom landscape as well as at nowadays the pattern of these tilt pieces is genuinely progressing as well as pushing novel boundaries.

Some of us start the hateful solar daytime here. others cease the hateful solar daytime hither hi some fifty-fifty practise both as well as every bit the shower experience evolves i think i could move a 2 shower a hateful solar daytime type of mortal to. 

Built inwards turbines allow y'all to generate your ain electricity every bit y'all utilisation the shower

I was going to practise a theme on Tiles but nosotros experience this is a surface area that has genuinely transformed alongside all of the higher upwards technological advances nosotros receive got mentioned above; Tiles receive got gone from micro mosaic to large format tile canvas of 3000mm x 1000mm as well as inwards some cases fifty-fifty larger. These sheets come upwards inwards diverse thickness's ranging from 3.5 mm, 6mm, 10 mm as well as beyond. 

These large format sheets (thanks to printing techniques as well as graphic design) are reproducing nature alongside startling outcome as well as the texture of them volition blow y'all away. This is where nosotros are seeing large advancements at the moment, pattern repeats (less of them i.e to a greater extent than random) as well as texture thence they genuinely experience to a greater extent than similar the existent deal. 

If nosotros had a dollar for every fourth dimension nosotros receive got heard i loathe grout nosotros would receive got a really adept stash yesteryear now. Large format sheets are making people really happy, they are hard to lay without the correct equipment but teach a adept installer alongside the correct tools as well as y'all volition move amazed at how slowly it tin can be. 

Printing engineering as well as graphic pattern are making some genuinely amazing tiles that almost resemble wall paper, alongside lets tell 4 tiles inwards a serial the patterns as well as options are almost endless giving each novel bath pattern a almost unique bespoke feel.

Small is nonetheless big, these micro mosaics are awesome! but alone when finished of alongside a epoxy grout. Tilers volition loathe y'all (they volition teach over it) when applying Epoxy but believe us when nosotros tell y'all volition non regret this if y'all are using small-scale tiles. See Epoxy grout in i trial dry out it is impervious to water, which agency no mould. If the H2O tin can non penetrate the grout (like measure gout) Then mould volition non cast as well as it is really very slowly to clean. 

We experience this is i surface area that nosotros are going to come across the biggest tech alter to the bath inwards the coming years every bit acquit on hide engineering makes to a greater extent than advancements. Don't move surprised if your vanity mirror has a fiddling or large acquit on hide integrated into it thence whilst y'all are getting ready y'all tin can remain in-touch alongside your world. 

Switchable drinking glass agency nosotros tin can receive got larger windows facing views or infinite as well as and then gain privacy when needed. 

VR - Virtual Reality is hither as well as it is hither to stay, this volition alter the manufacture as well as how nosotros nowadays as well as engage alongside our clients. We are already using this engineering inwards our studio as well as it is unbelievable how chop-chop a customer tin can empathise our pattern in i trial they receive got stepped within the room as well as experienced the bath pattern inwards total colour, total texture alongside all of the lighting, 

Thanks for taking the fourth dimension to read thru our thoughts, i promise y'all receive got taken something out of this, nosotros would dearest to take away heed your thoughts - this was a lot of fun to pose together as well as it was a smash presenting it alive to the KBDI (Kitchen & Bathroom Designers Institute) In Adelaide inwards August. 

The Modern Bathroom is a changing place, Technology is playing it's component to shape our bath experience as well as the pattern as well as role of the bathroom.
