Make it family friendly
A shower screen that folds back fully against the wall provides easier bath-time access, while a separate handset is ideal for washing the kids’ hair or muddy pets. A handy wall niche will also mean toiletries won’t get knocked off the side of the bath.

Create a focal point
Put your shower centre stage with a Crittall-style enclosure. The black steel frame adds an industrial edge while striking monochrome tiles create extra wow factor. For a truly spa-like experience, a customisable rain shower completes the scheme.

Upgrade your screen
Add a luxe touch and textural interest to your shower set-up by swapping standard clear panels for an on-trend reeded glass design. The bonus is you get an added layer of privacy, making it a great choice for en suites.

Looking for a more sustainable shower design? Duravit’s new shower tray is made from recycled materials and can be recycled at the end of its lifespan, or returned to Duravit where it’ll be reused to manufacture new shower trays. It’s ideal for multigenerational homes too, with its flat, rimless design allowing it to be installed flush with the floor.
