Businessman
and local manufacturer for “Fog-Off” electrically heated
pads, Arthur Coghill, wants couples and families about to
start building their new homes to think ahead to early morning showers
and the frustration of fogged over bathroom mirrors.
According to Arthur, that is precisely the best time for
them to consider installing his solution to deliver a lifetime of
convenience and crystal clear mirrors in the bathroom.
The problem is as Arthur explains, most home builders will not routinely
offer to install the heating pads in new bathrooms. Buyers
need to ask for them to be installed. So he is igniting
consumer led demand for fog free bathroom mirrors.
The Fog-Off concept is as straightforward as it is effective. Turn
the bathroom light on, have a shower and bingo, the heated section
of the mirror stays pristinely clear, ready for men to have a shave
and for women to apply their makeup.
A number of developers of hotels and inner city apartment blocks
have made the Fog-Off heating pads standard features
of their bathrooms. Hotel operators are already enjoying the savings.
No longer do guests go through the supply of bathroom towels trying
to keep the mirror clear. Less laundry for towels means lower overheads.
Now, Arthur Coghill is educating the home building market, but needs
consumers to start asking for this product.
“A
fog free bathroom mirror may not be high on the priority
list for home builders, but would be for home buyers if
they were aware there was a solution,” Arthur said.
“I want to encourage people about to build a home
to ask for fog free solution.”
And for the
sake of $200 for a heating pad for a new home that costs in excess
of $350,000 who would want to put up with the inconvenience of fogged
over mirrors? |

While
hotel and apartment developers make mirror heating pads a standard
feature of their bathrooms, home builders do not often think the same
way. So Arthur Coghill of Fog-Off Heating Pads is igniting consumer
led demand for fog free bathroom mirrors. “A fog free bathroom
mirror may not be high on the priority list for home builders but
would be for home buyers if they were aware there was a solution,”
Arthur said. “I want to encourage people about to build a home
to ask for fog free solution.” |

A simple heating pad can be installed behind the mirror, and when
the bathroom light is turned on, the heating pad is activated, ensure
mirrors remain clear and steam free. Fog-Off Heating Pads have already
been installed in major hotels in Australia and overseas, including
the Hyatt Regency Melbourne, the Sheraton Hotel in Perth, and the
Westin Hotel in Melbourne, and specified for apartment developments
by Mirvac, Multiplex, Australia and Meriton.

This
innovation is one, which warrants consideration as a standard bathroom
feature for providers of quality apartments.
