Minimalist Chic: S-LITE shower launch

July 2009

S-LITE is a chic new shower range from Lakes Bathrooms, based on a minimalist design of smooth, sliding doors. Part of the ‘Italia Collection’, S-LITE is a frameless range and it was designed at the famous Talocci Design house in Rome.

The S-LITE stylish design is characterised by clean, clear lines of glass and can be configured in a range of ways for alcoves, recesses or corner situations. The sliding functionality makes it perfect when surrounding space is limited or when you want to conjure some simple elegance.   An unusual element of the S-LITE’s design is how the 8mm heavyweight glass doors are mounted:   They run on rollers fitted to the bottom of the door, making their operation safer, smoother and silent. The easy, gliding operation is complemented by a high quality finish with scope to adjust both the height and width fitting of these beautiful showers.   For easy cleaning the S-LITE glass door panels are removable but a great optional extra is treatment with Lakes Bathrooms’ stay-clean AllClear® coating which repels water, soap scum, limescale and dirt. This hydrophobic layer has environmental advantage, claim Lakes Bathrooms, as it removes the need for chemical cleaning products and takes the hard work out of achieving a gleaming, clean fishing. A sample of AllClear is available to all readers by visiting www.lakesbathrooms.co.uk/allclear   For the ultimate in luxury detailing, the S-LITE range can be fitted with optional crystal-set handles: ‘CHRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements’ is a three part range of chrome plated brass handles, inlaid with crystals in either a solitaire or studded setting. These light-catching handles retail at £118 + VAT.   The Italia Collection is available to view at stockists around the UK and retail pricing for the S-LITE range is from £900 to £1,400.
