As the majority of our products are designed for bathrooms we have ensured that they confirm with the minimum requirements of IP44 which means that your product will be water resistant provided it is within specific zones within your bathroom. Some of our items will also show an IP Rating of 65, this means that the item is safe to use within zones that IP44 would not allow.
