Kaldewei has unveiled its latest innovation, the Solidlite shower tray. Engineered to eliminate the common challenges faced by plumbing professionals—such as heavy lifting, complex installation, and fragile materials—Solidlite™ offers a robust, lightweight alternative that simplifies work on-site.
Unlike conventional composite trays made from polyester resin and mineral fillers, which often warp, crack or break, solidlite™ offers long-lasting durability and ease of use. It delivers a flawless surface finish and retains the trusted quality of Kaldewei’s engineering. The result is a premium solution that’s safe, quick and simple to install.
Solidlite™ is tailored to meet the needs of installers. The tray’s lightweight structure allows for fast handling, precise fitting and reduced physical strain. It can be installed directly onto the floor or positioned on adjustable feet, eliminating the need for complex alignment or additional sound insulation.
The material’s strength also supports customisation. Even in awkward or tight spaces, Solidlite™ trays can be factory-cut to the exact measurements needed, accurate to the centimetre, making them suitable for a wide range of bathroom layouts.
Practical demonstrations are available to showcase how easily Solidlite™ can be transported and fitted. These sessions provide professionals with a hands-on look at how the new trays reduce installation times and enhance on-site efficiency.
Calima: refined design, engineered with solidlite™ technology
Alongside the Solidlite™ launch, Kaldewei has introduced Calima – a new shower surface that combines sleek design with solidlite™ performance. Aimed at international markets, Calima blends minimalist aesthetics with practical benefits for trade professionals.
Designed for modern bathroom spaces, Calima features a seamless, step-free finish with an invisible water edge on three sides. The outlet is situated on the short side and is bordered by a distinctive design edge that supports effective water drainage while enhancing its visual appeal.
Thanks to its recycled glass core, Calima is exceptionally light and easy to handle. It offers the same structural stability as heavier products, without the added weight or installation complexity. Available in 44 sizes, ranging from 70 cm to 180 cm, and five colour options (alpine white, alpine white matte, warm beige, cool grey, and black matte), the range supports flexible design planning.
All Calima trays have a consistent depth, simplifying specification across different bathroom layouts. Their permanently sealed surface resists hairline cracks and wear, maintaining appearance and performance over time.
Fully recyclable and made with sustainable materials, Calima supports eco-conscious renovation and construction projects. Combining advanced design, long-term durability and environmental responsibility, Calima represents the next generation of bathroom surface innovation from Kaldewei.
