Felton adds to digital products – With the new Tate range, Felton has expanded its line of digital products to include a shower mixer, deck mounted and wall mounted mixers. The digital mixers prevent spikes in water temperatures, while memory settings allow preferred temperature and flow to be selected with a touch.

we encourage them to have products delivered on-site as early as possible so they’re ready to go when the builder is available.”
Lily & Forbes’ Andrea Marshall agrees that accessing tile stock is a major issue. Her response has been to become acutely aware of each supplier’s lead times, pointing out that custom-made bathroom furniture is now taking two to three weeks longer to manufacture and it’s easy to be hamstrung by a lack of available tradespeople.
Having always accepted long 12–14-week lead times from Europe, Luciana Borges says some products are now taking 16 weeks and longer to arrive.
“It can be a real challenge if projects are not planned in advance,” she says, “but we are lucky that our key suppliers are carrying a fair amount of stock in the country.”
Painting a slightly different picture, however, is Karen Candy. “To be honest,” she says, “Supply hasn’t been a problem, although I have been mindful to switch to NZ-manufactured vessel basins, for example.
“The biggest problem has been getting hold of a cabinet maker that can do the job in a timely fashion. They have been ridiculously busy for the past year and sometimes too busy to even price work.”
