Lakes Bathrooms launch S-LITE frameless shower door

Lakes Bathrooms has launched a new minimalist series of sliding shower doors as part of their Italia Range from Provex Products. S-LITE is new to the 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 simple elegance is preferred by the customer. Complementing the minimalist look, the series includes shadow wall profiles and silicon free wall junctions.

An unusual element of the S-LITE's design is how the 8mm glass doors are mounted. They run on rollers fitted to the bottom of the door, making their operation safer, smoother and silent. The ball-bearing enabled wheels make allowance for variance in height to the 1950mm high doors - this is useful to compensate for an uneven floor or base. For installers, the bottom running doors of the S-LITE series also make fitting more straightforward and stable. The doors also have 25 to 50mm of available width adjustment, afforded by the design of the wall profiles.

"S-LITE is a great addition to the Italia Range and builds on the variety of enclosures, doors and panels with the 'trademark' Italian style," said Robin Craddock, sales director of Lakes Bathrooms. "Our own Classic Collection is perfect for the middle market and, extending from this, the Italia Range provides the style and finish for the higher end."

For easy cleaning the S-LITE glass door panels are removable and the doors tested to be watertight in a flow of up to 11 litres per minute. An 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.

Retail pricing for the S-LITE range is from £900 to $pound;1,400. Lakes Bathrooms say that this fits with their policy of high end quality at affordable pricing.

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.
