A business in Kilkenny trading for almost 50 years have opened a new store.
Heatmerchants/Tubs and Tiles officially unveiled their flagship store on the Hebron Road yesterday afternoon.
Their new state of the art showroom features premium fittings, cutting edge interiors and full style displays with expert staff on hand to bring a customers dream to life.
Branch Manager Joe Glynn told KCLR says there is something for all budgets: “I think, the showroom definitely has that wow factor.”
“You’ll see that when you walk in, like you have the sort of the range of product that we have is, it’s industry leading basically, but I think the beauty about it is that we have something for all budgets and that also to see it on display and actually see it in the flesh rather than looking through a catalogue or seeing it on a screen.”
“Obviously everyone does online research and Pinterest and all the rest of it is very popular, but if you can actually come in and see the product, I think that’s the beauty about the showroom we have now and not many showrooms in Ireland can say that. We’ve the size and the scale, that’s why they’ve gone so big with this.”
“I think at the moment, people are investing in their homes and they’re investing in their bathrooms. They want that luxury feel and you can really achieve it on all budgets. You don’t have to spend a holy fortune. Don’t get me wrong, obviously, there is product for that as well, but at the same time, if you’re looking to achieve a certain look, if you’ve seen it on Pinterest or Instagram or whatever, you can achieve that now.”
“I think that’s the way it’s gone more and more people are wanting that, sort of spa vibe or that sort of really fresh or traditional look.”
