Showered with love

March 28, 2020

Designing a luxurious, versatile showering space can be challenging, especially when it comes to installation. However, today’s manufacturers are aiding the process by offering a variety of solutions designed to make installation easy. For example, when it comes to shower trays, Kaldewei’s pre-assembled Nexsys 4-in-1 system consists of a waste channel, sloping support, sealing and an enamelled shower surface.

Bette has also introduced an installation system that makes it faster and easier to install its shower trays, ‘Minimum Support’ can be ordered pre-attached to any BetteFloor, BetteFloor Side or BetteUltra shower tray and is then simply glued to the screed or wooden floor. Pictured below, Bette manufactures a wide range of glazed titanium-steel shower trays and flush-to-floor shower areas, in a huge choice of sizes and colours, and so durable that they have a 30 year warranty.

Shower enclosures and cubicles are also easier than ever to install. Kudos has expanded its collection of Pinnacle8 luxury shower enclosures (pictured below) to include a true quadrant and centrefold designs, in a choice of sizes. Kudos offers easy installation thanks to a slimline wall profile with fully concealed fixings designed to maintain a 20mm wall adjustment. SmartSeal technology is used on the crystal clear seals and glass-to-glass corner join seals, to ensure a clean uninterrupted finish and a water tight bond. Kevlar impregnated pins are used in the rise and fall chromed hinges for consistently smooth opening and closing of the glass doors and aircraft grade stainless steel roller bearings are used in all sliding doors for smooth action and longevity.

If you are looking for products without silicone and predominately without screws, the new Kinedo Brooklyn shower cubicle offers a desirable showering solution for mid to high-end specifications and is available in two colour options. Or, for a complete all-in-one package, Kocoon (pictured top – on the feature banner) is a self-contained shower cubicle featuring luxury shower walls with a chrome frame, low-level shower tray and overhead rain shower, handset and valve.

Hewi’s showering support products are not only easy-to-install, they are also easy-to-adapt, i.e. supports are simply and discreetly hidden when not in use, perfect for care-homes, hotels or domestic projects. Hewi tell us the rooms of a hotel should be as individual as the guests, therefore they deliver flexible adaptation of bathrooms to guests’ needs. If a guest requires support, the mobile shower seats and support folding handles can be integrated quickly and easily into the respective room.

Flair showcases new ranges at Sleep & Eat

November 30, 2019

This year’s Sleep + Eat theme of Social FlexAbility perfectly aligns with Flair’s continually expanding product ranges. At this year’s event, Flair presented several solutions that offer a host of meaningful design innovations for the hospitality industry. These included the newly launched ETO collection and the multi award-winning ORO shower door range.

A warm welcome to ETO…

ETO (pictured below) is the latest shower door concept launched by Flair in Summer 2019. Designed with purpose, the robust construction of the ETO collection is coupled with clever functional features that ensure long-lasting high performance. The uniquely crafted handle is beautifully precise and features a cleverly integrated towel hook. The sleek chrome profiles and countersunk interior hinges complement the ETO handle design, creating an elegantly contemporary aesthetic.

ORO Collection – Carefully Considered Design Details

With its minimalist aesthetic, the frameless ORO collection (pictured Top) is a union of design innovation and functional perfection. Its elegant hand-crafted handle is formed to feel seductive in hand and is truly one of a kind and distinctly individual.

Each ORO enclosure is created from 8mm toughened glass with hydrophobic coating, which resists against the build-up of lime scale and grime. The two metre glass panels are secured with minimal yet robust chrome wall extrusions that are designed to recede and accentuate the gracefully tall glass structure.

The flush-mounted door hinges on the inside of the shower allow users to easily wipe clean the glass without obstruction. All mechanical detailing is cleverly concealed to reduce visual clutter and add to the minimalist aesthetic.

ORO Ultra Frameless Hinge and Inline door

Setting the standard in frameless design, the ORO Ultra Frameless series is the newest addition to the ORO range and radiates style and contemporary elegance. A generously proportioned shower enclosure, this modular design is ideal for larger showering spaces. With durability in mind, the frameless corner side panel is supported by a minimalist chrome stabilising bar.

Coloured profile finishes from Kudos

June 25, 2019

British manufacturer, Kudos, has incorporated their five coloured profile finishes, across its broad range of Ultimate shower panels, into their new priced brochure. The colours, which are designed to co-ordinate with the most popular shower controls and brassware finishes, include Matt Black, Polished Gold, Brushed Gold, Bright Nickel and Brushed Nickel.

There has been a huge rise in the sales of coloured taps and showering controls over the past few years and there’s an obvious link between this brassware and any shower enclosure wall profile. These options from Kudos allow the designer to match or contrast finishes, adding further customisation to their room design, a trend that is forecast to grow during 2020.

A reassuring feature of these profiles is that it’s possible to replace them easily as they have the same drilling configurations, so that a different coloured profile can be installed should the colourway require changing after a few years. All coloured profiles from Kudos are manufactured within the group and quality tested to a high-performance shower standard. They are also covered with a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defect.

Kudos Shower Products Ltd has been designing and manufacturing shower products at their Cumbrian facility since 1999. Their portfolio includes shower enclosures, shower trays, over-bath screens and wet-room solutions sold via KBB showrooms and merchants across the UK.
