Replenish your body and mind from the comfort of your own home
The past two years has brought about a change in the living circumstances for many households, with the ability to rest and relax at home becoming more difficult. Houses have transitioned into the living and working space for families and individuals. This has led to people wanting a bathroom that creates a spa-like sanctuary in their home allowing them to take time out for themselves and truly relax.

Whether it’s bath time for the children or your turn to relax after they’re tucked up in bed, baths get a lot of use, especially in family homes. That is why at Trojan we have developed Trojancast, an intensive reinforcement process that strengthens baths and gives them a rigidity that is traditionally only associated with cast iron baths.

Bathroom Trends 2021
After the unprecedented year of 2020 and as we move into 2021, we look at the trends and the changes affecting the bathroom industry this year.
With over 4 decades of manufacturing experience, at Trojan, we understand that wider influences impact how we live our lives and how products must adapt to suit the changing needs of our consumer.

Bathrooms Fit for All the Family
Throughout the UK, there are more families than ever choosing to move in with their parents and according to research from the University of Cambridge in 2019, 6.8% of UK households are currently made up of several generations.
Taking this into consideration, there are many reasons which may be driving this sudden increase. Last month we saw that the increase on the cost of childcare meant that many families were looking to grandparents for childcare support.
03 September 2020
Family Friendly Bathroom Solutions
Over the last four decades, here at Trojan, we have come to understand the bathroom industry. Founded back in 1975, we have now become one of the leading and most respected manufacturers within Europe.
One thing we have learnt over the years is that different people have different needs, meaning not everyone wants the same thing from their bathroom. So, whether that be a bath or a shower or a combination of the two, here at Trojan we recognise the importance of getting this right when it comes to a family friendly bathroom.

Situated in the heart of West Yorkshire, Trojan aim to set bath manufacturing standards both in the UK and overseas, always manufacturing products to the highest standard and specification required and constantly at a competitive price.

Celebrating Yorkshire
With our roots firmly in this beautiful county, Trojan was established in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, back in 1975. From small beginnings, we are now one of the largest and most respected manufacturers of acrylic baths in Europe, with historic Yorkshire still where we proudly call home. Operating from three sites; Ramsden Mills, Firm Mills and Ashbrow Mills, our specialist factories sit across 21 acres of Huddersfield, where we will always remain. We love Huddersfield, so find it no surprise that it has been chosen as one of the host towns for the Tour de Yorkshire cycle race!

Bathrooms Fit for All the Family
With multigenerational living on the rise, and with a total of 1.8 million households now with two or more adult generations co-habiting, these numbers have increased by 38% in the last decade.
However, there are multiple factors that have driven this increase. With the cost of childcare on the rise, many families look to older family members for support, this tends to include grandparents, who may also help with the increasing housing costs too. In addition to this, as the ageing population continues to grow year on year, there is now a shortage of retirement homes, meaning that multi-generational living isn’t necessarily a choice for some. Throughout the UK, there are currently 12 million people over the age of 65 and with no signs of slowing down, these figures aren’t to be ignored.

The perfect solution for high footfall bathrooms
All Trojan acrylic baths are built to last and come with our 25-year guarantee. But, if you want a bath with outstanding strength, added insulation and extra peace of mind, Trojancast offers unique features that tick all the boxes…

More support needed for UK carers
Whilst we have explored the needs of those with age and mobility related conditions in our recent posts, here we recognise the people who provide care in the UK. The needs of carers can often be forgotten, and with the social care sector in a period of rapid growth, the pressure and demands on a carers mental and physical well-being, can be overlooked.
There are currently approximately 8.8 million adult carers in the UK, with 6,000 people taking on a caring responsibility each day. Whilst we are experiencing an ageing, growing population, it is important to note that 1.3 million carers in England and Wales are actually aged 65 or over; meaning many carers are already retired or at retirement age.

Making the most of smaller bathrooms
At Trojan, we understand that not all bathrooms are made the same size or shape. Homes and properties may have ensuites or smaller washrooms with a floor space that may only suit a shower. Our collections take smaller bathrooms into consideration, ensuring our baths and shower trays make the most out of the space available, without ever compromising on style or quality.
14 May 2020
Quality care in demand more than ever
With a growing population, increase in life expectancy and more people living longer with complex health issues, it is no surprise that the care sector is under growing pressure. In the UK, the care sector is currently worth almost £16 million a year, with over 410,000 people in residential care.
Between 2017 and 2040 the population of people aged 65 and over is expected to rise by 49%. The number of people aged over 85 - those most likely to require health and social care services - is expected to almost double from 1.4 to 2.7 million, over the same time period.

How an ageing population is changing home design
‘Population Ageing’ is a global phenomenon, and one that shows no signs of slowing down. Since 1982, the UK population has increased year on year.
Today, there are 962 million people in the world aged 60 or over. In 2015 there were around 901 million people aged 60 or over; more than twice the number in 2000. It is estimated that by 2050, this will have increased to over 2 billion.

With the current situation regarding COVID-19, and with many of us now stuck at home, now is the perfect opportunity to spruce up your bathroom. April is the perfect time to give your home a spring clean, and with Easter falling the latest it has in almost a decade, this month is ideal to get your house ready for visitors. So, turn your tired and outdated looking bathroom into a brand-new bathing haven.

5 Steps to Improve
As we move through such unprecedented times, where we are stuck in a world where COVID-19 is all that we seem to talk about, it’s understandable that our lives are currently filled with so much uncertainty.
Here at Trojan, we understand the importance of well-being, after all spending a little time alone allows us to relax, unwind and see things more clearly. We’ve always been advocates of bathrooms being the perfect space to improve our mental and physical well-being, and no more so than at the moment. Unfortunately, due to self-isolation, many of us are finding ourselves with more time on our hands than ever, and that is why Trojan have decided to give you a five-step guide to improve your well-being through your bathroom.

The launch of our new Evolve shower bath
Having been in the bathroom industry for the last four decades, Trojan understand that not everyone wants the same thing from their bathroom. Not all bathrooms are the same size and shape and this is something that we have come to recognise.
11 March 2020
Making the bathroom a relaxing space for every body
Bathing should be an enjoyable, relaxing experience. Most of us take a bath or shower without giving it a second thought, but for those suffering with chronic pain and mobility issues, bathing can be painful and difficult. At Trojan, we created Bathe Easy so that every body can enjoy a bath or shower, no matter what their physical ability.
Our range of specialist easy access baths, showers and accessories are designed for independent living, and help take the worry out of bathing.

The convenience of a shower with the comfort of a bath
At Trojan, we understand the bathroom industry, after all we have been manufacturing baths since 1975. From single ended, quality acrylic baths to solid surface freestanding baths and shower trays, we have been designing and producing bathroom products and accessories for over four decades.
We understand that different people have different needs. We appreciate that not all homes are the same shape or size, and that not everybody wants the same thing from a bathroom. Some see their bathroom as a quiet haven, where they can lay in a warm bath at the end of long day. For others, it’s a family space for noisy, fun bubbly bath times or a place to grab a quick shower after the gym.

A comfortable, safe bathroom to suit all mobility needs
The world’s ageing population continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, with life expectancy increasing as morality decreases. Whilst living longer is clearly a positive thing, the number of people living with chronic illness or disability is also rising.
At Trojan, we believe a bathroom should be a safe and relaxing space for every body which is why we created Bathe Easy, our specialised range of low-threshold and powered traverse seat baths, designed for independent living.

Indulge in luxury with Aquair
As the world continues to move at pace and our lives become filled with work, family life and other commitments and hobbies that keep us busy, it’s important to take time out and unwind, making time for ourselves.
At Trojan, we understand the importance of well-being, which is why we developed Aquair; our range of luxurious spa and whirlpool baths. Aquair offers the same outstanding quality you would expect from Trojan, but with the relaxing features of a spa experience.

Because every body should be able to enjoy a relaxing bath
Whilst many of us don’t think twice before we jump in the shower or take a soak in the bath at the end of a long day, for those suffering with pain and disability, just doing a normal everyday thing like relaxing in the bath can be a difficult, or even impossible task.

Trojan Annual Review 2019
The past year has been a very exciting – and very busy – year for us here at Trojan. We started the year with our ‘Did you know?’ marketing campaign, which highlighted some interesting facts about how consumers use their bathrooms but also specifically their baths! There were some interesting stats that surprised us all but it proved the need for the wide range of Trojan baths that we produce, as our end users are always very clear on what they want!

Bathe Easy: Something for Every Body
Autumn is upon us and here at Trojan we are all looking forward to the nights drawing in, as it justifies log fires, hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows and long soaks in the bath, while the rain pounds the window outside.

Bathe Easy Cascade Bath evolution
As you know, our Bathe Easy range was introduced in order to help those who are less physically able, whether through age or an ongoing disability. One of the most popular baths in the range is the Cascade, which is manufactured here in the UK. While the original Cascade bath had the glass door toward the tap end of the bath, this was causing issues when people were adding a glass shower screen - glass on glass is not something that works particularly well. So, taking into account all of the feedback we have gathered, we took the decision to move the door to the opposite end of the bath to avoid any issues with a glass shower screen in future.

Trojan Trends Volume 3
Continuing with our Trojan Trends, this month we have learnt that people do a lot more than just bathe when they climb into a bath! Did you know that in a recent report by Trend Monitor (Six Things You Didn’t Know People Did In Their Bathrooms, Jan 2019) 41% of participants who regularly took baths revealed they like to read either a book, newspaper, magazine or a Kindle, 7% will watch a film or TV shows on either their phone or tablet, and 7% will listen to the radio. Unsurprisingly, 30% like to use candles or dim the lights to create the right ambience, and 1 in 5 participants said that they occasionally enjoy a glass of wine.
01 March 2019
Trojan Trends Volume 2
Following on from our first Trojan Trends commentary, we had such positive feedback that we wanted to share more of our knowledge and the ways in which we take into consideration consumer requirements in all we do.

Our Extended Bathe Easy Range
According to national charity DLF (Disabled Living Foundation), there are 13.3m disabled people in the UK yet only 17% are born with their disability, most acquiring their disability in later life. For every 1000 people of working age in the UK, there are 308 of pensionable age, with this projected to increase to 365 by 2037. The ageing population and therefore the affect that this has on housing and specialised equipment, cannot be underestimated.

It’s a whole new look for Yorkshire based bath manufacturer Trojan Baths
Family-owned Trojan has launched a range of new customer communications following a review of marketing activity in recent years. While the brand is well known in the industry, the company has previously concentrated on manufacturing own label products for some of the most recognised retailers in the UK.
