Leading bathroom panels specialist, Mermaid, has joined the Made in Britain membership campaign as the brand looks to support retailers and installers alike with a growing range of products manufactured here in the UK.
With 30 years’ experience of manufacturing bathroom panels at its factory in Perth, Scotland, Mermaid, which is a brand of Wilsonart Ltd, has a proven track record of supplying products which offer a genuine alternative to tiles with the benefit of being both quicker to install and easier to maintain.
With disruption to supply chains and soaring gas prices negatively impacting the bathrooms industry, Mermaid’s Made in Britain status comes at a time when many retailers, installers and homeowners are considering more accessible alternatives to bathroom tiles.
The leading manufacturer’s newest product – its Elite range – is the brand’s most advanced shower panel solution yet. Featuring patented technology and a 100% waterproof core, seamless bathroom designs can be created without the need for trims.
Its Brilliance range of acrylic, patterned shower panels, meanwhile, has been developed to offer the striking look of a patterned glass finish without the premium price tag.
Keely Greenhalgh, National Sales Manager at Mermaid said: ‘We’re delighted to be joining Made in Britain and are proud to secure the status that comes with it. While the mark conveys to customers the domestic origin of our products, it also acts as a mark of the quality that our team is committed to achieving.
“Being able to proudly display our British heritage on our products means a lot to us and we’re looking forward to working with our network of retailers to sell the benefits of this to installers and homeowners alike.”
John Pearce, CEO of Made in Britain added: “We are delighted that Mermaid has joined our growing community of 1,900 member companies. With its long history, exceeding 30 years of developing bathroom surfaces in the UK, Mermaid epitomises the innovation, consistency and resilience that are embedded in the DNA of the British manufacturing sector. By displaying the Made in Britain mark, Mermaid’s existing and potential customers can clearly see that the company’s products adhere to the highest standards and are of truly British provenance.”
