In recent years, shower enclosures have been at the center of a cultural revolution which started from the bathroom and is slowly spreading to the other rooms of the house. They have become furnishing accessories, true works of art at the service of functionality in a room that is increasingly becoming a modern bathroom. A common and service area that has rewritten its history by reinventing itself as a wellness area. As? We have selected some practical examples in which Relax proposals can solve space and style needs.
Modern bathroom with shower enclosure at the end of the room (with window): now it’s possible
We all know the long, narrow bathroom. Typical of 80s construction, it stands out for its long-limbed shape, developed entirely on one axis. Where to place a shower enclosure in a room like this?
The main problem appears to be the window at the bottom of the bathroom: a problem known to most, due to the impossibility of stabilizing the shower enclosure properly. The ideal solution to such a common problem is Oblique MV, a special shelf, capable of independently supporting the glass of our shower enclosure. All this, thanks to holes, expertly positioned in the glass, which allow installation in a simple and effective way.
A layout like this allows you to make full use of all the available space, without having to sacrifice the length of the room. Furthermore, giving us the possibility of being able to store all the elements such as shower gel and soaps in the stabilizing shelf, without any clutter whatsoever. The solution offered by the shelf is simple, TUV certified and patented so much so that it resists very well the dreaded anti-tipping test imposed by the UNI EN 14428 standard.
Sliding closure for extra security
When we have spaces available that allow us to create a modern bathroom in the master bedroom, and we decide to place the same parquet floor as a solution of continuity, we must take precautions. In fact, it is well known that water in contact with parquet floors does not leave good memories, so how can you make sure that the shower is completely waterproofed?
When the dimensions (such as the depth of the bathroom) are less than 150 cm, in environments that do not exceed 4 m2 in total, a walk-in solution cannot be considered ideal. However, there are equally beautiful and minimal solutions that limit water splashes on the floor.
By exclusion, a swing door would be uncomfortable in narrow environments, with openings that can be around 100 cm. Our choice therefore falls on a product with a sliding door, simple to operate and completely waterproof when it comes to exiting and entering the shower space. No water leaks and no drips on the floor, ideal solution for a well-organized modern bathroom. Puro SC1 is the product for us.
A sliding door shower enclosure like Puro SC1 stands out for simplified cleaning in every step, with the internal movement parts covered by dust and water, while at the base we find a release that opens the door so as to make it tilt back and forth, for complete and thorough cleaning. Finally, water tightness is guaranteed by the deflector gasket placed outside, on the containment dam: this technical solution aims to protect it from premature yellowing.
When the hinged door becomes technological in the modern bathroom
When we start visiting shops and showrooms to look for the furnishings that we consider most suitable for our new modern bathroom, we rely more on taste than functionality. As regards the shower cabin, the choice becomes more careful. With the passage of time, even elements such as the shower cabin have been able to reinvent themselves and improve themselves.
This is the case of a particular type of product: the shower cabin with pivoting door. An element inside the bathroom to take into consideration when spaces are limited or when you want to limit movements to a minimum. Kubik is the collection that brings with it this great innovation. The pivoting door is nothing more than a hinged door that rotates 22 cm away from the wall. This gives us the possibility of interacting with a wall-mounted towel warmer which will be positioned exactly behind the open door. Quite an advantage!
Conclusions
The bathroom has evolved a lot over the years, so much so that the spaces for which it was designed have been completely redesigned, transforming it into a modern bathroom. A long history to be found far back in time, in continuous evolution, thanks also to the continuous passion of those who study the solutions of the future, balanced between modernity and tradition.
