Minimalist enclosure for Sculptures Walk-in shower

(13/08/2008)

Roman have expanded their designer Sculptures collection further with the addition of a completely frameless walk-in enclosure which incorporates integrated water delivery.

The enclosure comes complete with an integrated overhead valve which also acts as bracing for the enclosure. This has given Roman the opportunity to strip away all the framing and create the ultimate in minimalist styling.

The minimal framing has also allowed for a reduction in price. So when purchasing the enclosure and the integrated valve in one there is a £500 saving (at list price) on buying the two separately.

The enclosure features 10mm thick toughened glass and can be installed straight-to-floor in a wetroom situation, or to Roman’s solid surface low-level tray. The sophisticated low-level tray comes complete with an integrated duckboard style drying area which is removable for easy cleaning.

The integrated valve is fully thermostatic with an instant shut-off in the event of hot or cold water failure. Its concealed pipe-work allows the controls to be positioned in the drying area, giving easy access. The valves 10 inch drencher head then offers the ultimate in luxurious showering.

With its large (1700mm) proportions, the enclosure is an ideal bath replacement product (measuring 700 and 800mm at the two ends). It is available with or without a side panel, so it can be installed into a corner or an alcove situation.

Although designed for the fashion market, the new Sculptures Walk-in is also a cross-over product for the aging or less able market. It offers door-less entry, level access and a thermostatic valve to prevent the threat of scalding.

David Osborne, Managing Director at Roman, commented: “We are very excited about this new addition to our exclusive Sculptures range. We feel this product meets so many requirements: it is completely frameless, inline with the current minimalist trends, it acts as a bath replacement in a market that is frequently turning towards the quicker option of showering on a daily basis and it offers integrated water delivery, featuring a suave 10 inch drencher head.
