GRAND EDWARDIAN HOME GETS A BOOST DURING RENOVATION

Kevin Moore, Group Sales Director at Stuart Turner, explains how the company’s Aquaboost solutions have ensured an Edwardian holiday home can meet the water demands of up to 16 guests.

Products from Stuart Turner’s range of Aquaboost Booster sets have been installed in Latimer House, an incredible three storey £1.5 million Edwardian renovation on the east coast of England. Main contractors Cubitt Theobald were awarded this prestigious project, with Columbus Plumbing offering the mechanical services and design and installation. With the potential for high water usage and a clear desire for premium experiences throughout, the water supply required careful consideration.

The original system consisted of gravity-fed cold-water storage tanks and copper cylinders powered from the existing gas boiler, which would not have been capable of providing the desired results. Columbus Plumbing’s director Damian Brennan engaged Stuart Turner to assist with providing a water boosting and supply solution for the property.

Following a site evaluation, a suitable design and specification was agreed upon to fulfil the clients’ requirements and meet their expectations. The design incorporated an Aquaboost twin pump booster set with two Aquastor 500 litre indirect cylinders capable of delivering 150 litres per minute at 4 bar.
“Working from stage three, we liaised closely with the client, contractor and design team to undertake a full design and installation for this exquisite home,” commented Kevin Moore, Group Sales Director at Stuart Turner.

Dubbed one of the finest seaside properties on the east coast and winner of the 2020-21 Best Residential Interior in the East of England (United Kingdom Property Awards), Latimer House now offers luxury self-catering breaks with all of the amenities you could imagine from such a grand property. With the property accommodating up to 16 guests with five en-suites, one jack and jill bathroom, two cloakrooms, a pool room with WC sauna & shower, utility and kitchen, maintaining adequate and reliable water supply was paramount.

The combination of the Aquaboost set and Aquastor cylinders offers a powerful yet easy to manage solution, promising futureproofed results.

“During the refurbishment of Latimer House, it became clear that the incoming water supply was not sufficient to meet maximum flow demands across seven bathrooms over three floors. Combined with cold water storage, our Stuart Turner booster set ensures the performance of all showers is maintained regardless of demand,” concluded Kevin. www.stuart-turner.co.uk
