Smedbo Outline Freestanding Toilet Butler All Chrome Polished

All Chrome. No Concessions.

Where the Smedbo Outline FK306 uses frosted elements to introduce contrast, the FK308 makes a different choice entirely. Everything here is chrome — the oval base disc, the upright pole, the cylindrical brush container, the cantilever roll arm. Mirror-polished throughout, from the floor to the dome finial at the top. It is the bolder, more monolithic expression of the Outline range, and in the right bathroom it is quietly spectacular.

The toilet roll holder is a single horizontal bar extending perpendicularly from the upright — a cantilever arm with a small dome finial at its end. No frame, no cage. The roll slides on and sits there, held by nothing more than the bar itself. It is a more architectural detail than a conventional holder, and it suits the FK308's character exactly. The one concession to softness is the brush container lid — a chromed brass outer ring with a frosted acrylic inset at its centre, barely visible at a glance, connecting the FK308 to the FK306's material language in the most restrained way possible. The brush head is replaceable, extending the life of the piece well beyond what a lesser product would offer.

How to Use

Place the unit freestanding beside the toilet — no fixing to walls or floors required. At 5.15 kg, the base provides substantial stability in normal use. Slide a toilet roll onto the cantilever arm from the finial end. The chrome cylinder houses the toilet brush — lift the handle to remove for use and replace after. When the brush head wears, fit a compatible Smedbo replacement head. Wipe all chrome surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove marks and residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which will scratch the mirror-polished finish. Dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.

FK306 vs FK308 — Which Outline Butler Is Right for You?

The FK306 uses frosted acrylic and frosted glass elements to introduce a deliberate material contrast against the chrome upright — a softer, more considered aesthetic. The FK308 is all-chrome throughout, with a cylindrical brush container and cantilever roll arm for a bolder, more monolithic presence. Both are the same height and base diameter, freestanding, and backed by a 10-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Smedbo Outline FK308?

How does the FK308 differ from the FK306?

The FK308 is heavier at 5.15 kg versus the FK306's 4 kg, and has a more monolithic, reflective aesthetic.

Does the FK308 need to be fixed to the wall or floor?
No — the FK308 is entirely freestanding. The chrome oval base disc and 5.15 kg weight provide substantial stability for normal use without any fixing to walls or floors.

The butler stands 720 mm tall with a base diameter of 250 mm and weighs 5.15 kg.

Will the chrome finish tarnish or corrode?
No. The upright and all hardware are solid brass with a mirror-polished chrome finish — inherently corrosion-resistant and backed by a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.

How do I clean the FK308?
Wipe all chrome surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove marks and residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which will scratch the mirror-polished finish. Dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.

Is this suitable for a small bathroom?
Yes — the FK308 has a base diameter of 250 mm and a slender upright profile, making it well-suited to compact toilet areas where wall-mounted options are not practical or desirable.
