UK Customer Care and Guarantees Customer Care and Guarantees Purchasing, installing and caring for your Imperial bathroom The Imperial Bathroom Company (“Imperial”) recommends that all products are purchased with the assistance of a specialist bathroom retailer and always installed by an experienced installer who is a member of a recognised plumbing association. A list of bathroom retailers is available from our sales office and many retailers who display the Imperial product ranges can offer a complete design and installation service or will be able to recommend a qualified installer. Imperial’s sanitaryware products are produced to the most demanding standards set by any manufacturer in the industry and each piece can be subject to as many as 15 individual quality control checks during production. Notwithstanding the high quality finishes achieved in the Imperial factory, all sanitaryware is subject to the limitations of the ceramic manufacturing process. Unlike machine finished products, natural clay based products shrink and move during firing and because it is not possible to control this process absolutely, minor variations in the dimensional stability of finished products will occur. In most instances this is not noticeable and will have no significant effect upon the installation or the look of the finished bathroom. Important, please note the following: (I) Sizes All sizes quoted in this brochure are nominal. Actual ceramic sizes may vary by + or – 2% against the figures quoted in our technical data. When planning installations where dimensions are critical it is essential that the space allowed for individual items is physically checked with the products to be installed. (II) Fitting Basins to Vanity Units This presents the installer with a common situation where the machine finished vanity unit is designed in order to obtain the optimum fit between the unit and the ceramic basin. Fillets provided on the top edges of the unit are reshaped to accommodate the basin. Once the basin has been fitted in this way it should be bedded onto the unit using silicon sealer to ensure that a watertight seal is achieved. Semi recessed basins and inset vanity basins must also be sealed between the ceramic surface and the furniture surface using silicon sealer. (III) Wood Finishes All natural wood finishes mature with age and colours may vary slightly from batch to batch. It is therefore not always possible to achieve a precise colour match. Imperial’s products utilise natural materials and therefore the appearance of the visual properties typical of such materials are to be expected in the finished product. (IV) Vitreous China These are extremely hard, non-porous products; but are also brittle and therefore must not be put under stress during installation. Basin waste fittings when over tightened can create stress within the ceramic material which may in time cause the failure of the product. Waste fittings should be carefully bedded in silicon and the back nut hand tightened. One additional quarter turn using a suitable spanner is sufficient to create the required watertight seal. Care should also be taken when fitting brassware to tap platforms in order to prevent similar stress related failures. All products should be inspected before installation. (V) Cistern Flushing All Imperial WC pans and cisterns flush at 6 litres in compliance with European requirements. Our cisterns and pans are carefully balanced to provide the best possible flush. All of our cisterns are priced to include the flush fitting, levers and flush pipes. These have been carefully selected and tested. We are therefore unable to accept responsibility for poor or non flushing situations where these items have been changed or fitted incorrectly. (VI) Acrylic Baths Acrylic bath sizes are nominal and should be checked initially against technical data. For example, baths are often quoted as being 1700mm x 750mm but this can often relate to an actual size such as (for example) 1675mm x 735mm. The final size often depends on the degree of detail incorporated in the design. All baths should be carefully inspected before installation. When installing a bath with a panel, care should be taken to ensure that the bath is properly supported by the adjustable feet and not by the bath rim. If the bath is being fixed to a wall, ensure that the wall brackets supplied are properly utilised to secure the bath. A flexible sealer should be used between bath edge and wall as well as between bath edge and panel or plinth. Imperial recommends filling the bath prior to sealing to ensure a secure seal that will withstand the additional loads that a full bath will be subjected to. (VII) Plating All items supplied with a plated finish has been plated in the UK and the quality of plating complies with British and European Standards relating to the products concerned. Plated products are easy to look after, but it is important that cleaning instructions are followed carefully to ensure a long and trouble free life. Please refer to the “Looking after your bathroom” section of our product information for best practices on plated finishes. (VIII) Furniture Imperial furniture is produced from a combination of solid wood and real wood veneer panels, and all sizes quoted are nominal and must be checked against actual product. The timber used is supplied from renewable sources and whilst every care is taken in the manufacture of wooden products inevitably there will always be variations in both colour and grain pattern between individual pieces - indeed this is part of the beauty and unique appeal of using a natural material. Where frosted glass is a feature, only toughened safety glass is used. (IX) Cast Iron Baths During manufacture a thick coat of powder enamel is fused onto the internal surface of the red hot cast iron. This long established process can however produce ripples, small dimples and specks on the surface which are indeed part of the character and appeal of this type of product - the performance of the bath is however not affected. The outer surface is factory finished to a high standard requiring only the application of a bathroom specified paint. To maintain the appearance, rinse immediately after use and dry with a soft cloth. It is important to clean regularly with a VEA approved (Vitreous Enamel Association) cleaning compound that is applied only with a soft cloth. Dripping taps should be avoided. (X) Bar Pressures Poulie, Cisne, Globo, Cou, Niveau, Gioiello, Glace, Notte, Pre, Vuelo, Bec and Lierre products are only suitable for high pressure/pumped water systems (1-3 Bar). Edwardian, Westminster and crown Lever products are suitable for systems 0.5 Bar. Where these products are to be installed in a high pressure situation it will be necessary to install a pressure reducing valve. Victorian products are suitable for use in a low pressure situations 0.2 Bar. Where these products are to be installed in a high pressure situation it will be necessary to install a pressure reducing valve. (XI) Natural Stone and Composite work surfaces and baths Stone / Marble Products Each marble/granite top has been produced from a solid piece of natural stone and as such, you should expect each piece to be somewhat individual and feature natural grains and small sand holes – this gives each piece its own character and uniqueness and is not a reflection of poor quality or sub-standard materials or craftsmanship. Composite Products Solid surface work tops are produced from the finest raw materials to the highest standards. Although the product has been designed for the bathroom, we recommend that the tops are looked after as per the instructions supplied with the product. Please be aware that Bath Bombs and Hair Dye can permanently discolour the materials and are excluded from any manufacturing warranty. Please always inspect the product prior to fiitting. (XII) Basin stands Basin stands are produced by hand and slight imperfections on the surface detail are normal due to the material and the manufacturing process. (XIII) The Hardwick glass legs The Hardwick glass legs are manufactured from Borosilicate 3.3 glass, 30mm diameter - Not toughened. (XIV) Tiles Tiles have been manufactured from the finest blend of natural materials and glazes, due to the manufacturing processes involved some small deviations in size and shade may occur. In order to obtain the best blend, we recommend taking tiles from a number of boxes on application. To obtain the best appearance, we recommend a minimum 3mm grout line. It is vital to use only waterproof adhesives and grouts. The ‘crackle’ glaze used is made to simulate the look of tiles manufactured in the 1920’s and 30’s. The glaze may continue to further crackle after installation but is a surface finish only and will not affect the structural integrity of the body of the tile. Imperial recommends the use of a water cooled cutter with diamond blade for cutting.
