With hi-tech products playing a growing part in most peoples’ everyday lives, leading bathroom specialist Roper Rhodes has tapped into the technology trend with its range of mirrors and cabinets, which have been meticulously designed by the company’s in-house design team.
Packed with useful features, Roper Rhodes’ incredible collection of mirrors and cabinets come in a wide range of sizes, styles and configurations to provide something to suit every requirement and style of bathroom. Hi-tech features include Bluetooth® wireless technology, which allows you to listen to music or Internet radio through integrated stereo speakers by simply pairing the mirror or cabinet with a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
Like many of the mirrors and cabinets in Roper Rhodes’ portfolio, the Bluetooth® enabled models utilise the latest LED technology, which creates a premium, boutique hotel look and provides bright and practical task lighting, which is vital in every bathroom. Helping you reduce your electricity bills, the LED lighting has energy saving benefits and can also be used as a mood or night-light.
