At the World Architecture Festival in Miami, GROHE SPA and Buster + Punch unveiled an integrated bathroom concept. This curated collection blends solid metal hardware, lighting, and bathroom fixtures to create coherent, seamless interiors
The collaboration debut includes four of GROHE SPA’s timeless finishes – Brushed Warm Sunset, Brushed Cool Sunrise, Phantom Black and Supersteel – mirrored across Buster + Punch’s iconic cabinet and door hardware, lighting, sockets and switches. Shared design cues – like both brands’ signature knurling – heighten tactility and ensure perfect harmony across elements.
“To elevate your look in spas, wet rooms, and bathrooms, it’s essential to combine detailing, brassware, and lighting in one seamless finish. This is one of the key reasons why this collaboration came about and is so powerful – the collection has everything a designer or architect needs to level up these spaces effortlessly,” explains Massimo Buster Minale, founder and creative director, Buster + Punch.
Paul Flowers, leader of LIXIL Global design and chief design officer, adds: “This collaboration is born from a shared obsession with colour, material, and finish – every surface, every detail considered to elevate bathrooms and redefine expressive interiors. Recognising that designers and architects often struggle to create perfectly coordinated interiors across different brands, we combined Buster + Punch’s bold craftsmanship with GROHE SPA’s expertise in water and experiential luxury to offer a fully integrated suite of products where every element aligns, with nothing left to compromise. The result is a space that invites emotional interaction and turns bathrooms into immersive experiences.”
The collaboration was unveiled at the World Architecture Festival (WAF), held at the Miami Convention Center from November 12–14, 2025. As a founding sponsor, GROHE continues to value WAF as a key platform for innovation and exchange in architecture and design. “WAF continues to be an invaluable platform for GROHE,” says Paul Flowers. “It’s where we present our brand and engage in conversations that shape the future of how we live.”

Dallmer, the German shower drainage manufacturer, is introducing the new CeraFrame Liquid – a specifically designed shower channel that creates a seamless, thin-layered finish in shower areas.
CeraFrame Liquid, part of the DallFlex shower channel system family, achieves that smooth, blended finish many people desire. The Black Edition channel and grate finishes are designed to help customers achieve relaxing and luxury spa-like bathrooms.
Black is a statement colour and looks good in any bathroom. Dallmer’s ‘Black Edition’ (pictured above) features black statement shower channels and grates and a new CeraFloor Duo which can be produced in lengths of up to 2metres. As well as style and elegance, the channels and grates also offer resilience. The black PVD coating that features on the CeraFloor Select and CeraNiveau shower channels was originally developed for heavily loaded parts of sports engines. However, Dallmer has engineered this into its shower solutions to create a durable, long-lasting, easy-to-care-for, and hypoallergenic product.
Dallmer recently presented its innovations at ISH and reported a positive response: “There is simply no substitute for personal interactions in an inspiring trade fair atmosphere,” said Yvonne Dallmer, managing director. “It was clear by how quickly our stand filled up that our visitors were very interested in experiencing our products first-hand again.”

CRL is offering a bespoke showersolution to retailers to allow them to give customers a choice of three elements – glass, hardware and large format surfaces. All options are tailor-made to fit.
Said to be a revolution in shower and wet room design, CRL Bespoke Shower Screens combine the latest innovations in CRL shower hardware with its luxury CRL Stone surfaces, for streamlined, hotel-inspired design.
Longstanding experts in shower hardware, CRL has supplied many of the top hotel groups and prestigious developments. Now, in a first for the industry, CRL is bringing bespoke showers to the market for retailers to offer their customers.
By partnering with local UK glass suppliers and fabricators, and in combination with CRL Stone, CRL has formed a unique partnership which takes the pain out of specifying showers.
Offering a completely new way of specifying shower enclosures and providing consumers with a tailor-made option, retailers can offer a bespoke solution with confidence, rather than a pre-configured shower from a single source that requires work-arounds.
Simon Boocock, managing director of CRL Europe, comments: “Bespoke doesn’t need to be complex and time consuming. With CRL, retailers can provide luxurious quality at an off-the-shelf price, helping to improve design possibilities with better margins. Retailers no longer need to search around to pull all the elements together or stick to a boxed solution that isn’t necessarily right for the space.”
Designed for the perfect fit whether in the family bathroom, or as part of an en-suite extension in an existing master bedroom, CRL bespoke showers are ideal when working with awkward shapes and sizes in rooms such as in corners and under eaves.
Using high quality minimalist hardware for the latest in frameless showering, CRL can accommodate any design for all projects and all spaces, with popular finishes including Chrome, Antique Brass, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black and Polished Copper featuring across the different systems.
Highly durable and simple to care for, Ceralsio ceramic and Inalco MDi from CRL Stone is the perfect wall and floor surface solution for the shower area. In a large slab format that can be perfectly cut to size at the same time as the glass, with no grout lines creating a super-stylish and ultra hardwearing floor-to-ceiling wall surface. In fact, the material is ideal for the bathroom, being water resistant, heat, scratch and stain resistant and non-porous.
Offering shower enclosures to the market in a completely new way, this made-to-measure option from a market-leader gives retailers and designers the opportunity to provide a high-end, bespoke finish at a competitive price point.
Impey, best known as one of the UK’s market-leading wetroom manufacturers, has announced the introduction of four new colours of drain top to their portfolio. The shades Gold, Anthracite, Bronze and Black, have been chosen to complement the brand’s Aqua-Dec EasyFit and Aqua-Dec Linear range of wetroom floor formers. The Allure collection and new Paragon drain tops will be available from September 2022, throughout the brand’s nationwide retailer network.
Impey is renowned for its portfolio of wetroom solutions including its Aqua-Dec wetroom floor formers with inbuilt drainage gradient. In addition to the popular Aqua-Dec range, Impey has released an eye-catching new selection of coloured drain tops that offer enhanced personalisation options and will fit both the linear and square style of wetroom floors.
The new linear Allure range is available in both 600mm and 800mm sizes for the Aqua-Dec Linear floor formers. While the new square Allure range has been designed to fit the Aqua-Dec EasyFit.
In addition to the new colours, Impey will simultaneously launch two high-quality stainless steel drain tops ‘Paragon’ which will also be available in a brushed or polished finish. The pioneering new drain tops offer a minimalist aesthetic and customisation within any bathroom space.
Both the Allure collection and Paragon drain tops boast high flow rates, exceptional quality and are manufactured with a low carbon footprint.
Said Jessica Davis, Impey’s product manager, shower floors: “We are excited to launch the stunning Allure Collection and Paragon drain tops as an addition to our Aqua-Dec wetroom floor former drainage solutions. Giving specifiers and homeowners an opportunity to customise their wetrooms and coordinate perfectly with bathroom accessories or screen profiles. The colourful drain tops will sit alongside our existing wetroom floor former options and can be purchased as an upgrade to a complete wetroom solution or as a stand-alone item.”
Both new additions to Allure and Paragon are manufactured in the UK using locally sourced products and suppliers. Targeting sustainability, 100% of the packaging is recyclable cardboard and the Allure collection is PVD coated; the most energy-efficient coating process.
One of the UK’s leading wetroom manufacturers, Impey, has launched a ground-breaking new Tiled Insert drainage grate for its best-selling Aqua-Dec Easy-Fit™floor former range. The new Tiled Insert drain top will be available in July at retailers and merchants throughout the UK.
According to Impey, the company revolutionised the wetroom market with the introduction of its best-selling Aqua-Dec EasyFit™ floor former in 2004. Now the wetroom brand has released a new drain grate alternative to accompany the Aqua-Dec EasyFit™, in the form of a Tiled Insert option.
The new Tiled Insert option allows the installer to co-ordinate the drain top using the same tiles as the rest of the wetroom floor, creating a truly seamless aesthetic. The launch represents a new addition to the variety of drainage grate designs currently available for the Aqua-Dec EasyFit™,
Impey says the award-winning Aqua-Dec EasyFit™ has become a go-to wetroom floor former for installers and specifiers alike, due to its versatility, durability, and easy-installation benefits. With a unique 360-degree rotating drain plate, installers can easily avoid underfloor obstructions like joists or existing pipework, which speeds up fitting times substantially. The EasyFit™ has revolutionised the wetroom installation process, by offering a fully-trimmable solution which can be fitted successfully onto timber and concrete floors and a lifetime warranty is available for peace of mind.
Personalisation options
This new addition to Impey’s portfolio offers yet more options for personalisation of the wetroom space. The Tiled Insert drain top boasts ease of adjustment, the frame and tile tray are both manufactured from high-quality stainless steel; with a frame measurement of 130mm x 130mm. For tilers and wetroom fitters, market-leading fine-tuning and adjustment options ensure versatility and ease of installation throughout the tiling process, with suitability for both 8mm to 10mm tiles.
WaterGuard clamp
The new product also includes a new WaterGuard clamp, specifically created to work with the sheet membrane and ensure a complete watertight installation. In addition, the Tiled Insert has been thoughtfully designed with a tiling aid, which assists in marking the centre of the drain top, saving time, and aiding in the simple creation of the perfect finish.
Said Clare Cranston, Design and Development Manager: “The new Tiled Insert drain top is a very exciting additional offering for our Aqua-Dec Easy-Fit™. We have focused on honing the functionality of the product to ensure it offers the best possible fitting experience for installers and tilers, as well as creating the streamlined, modern look that consumers are eager to achieve.”
The new Aqua-Dec Easy-Fit™ Tiled Insert will be previewed for the first time at the Women Installers Together conference, in London on 6th July. It will be available thereafter from all Impey partners including bathroom showrooms and merchants.

Sealskin Duka
As well as factoring in handsome good looks, shower design needs to offer versatility to allow for a range of projects, and not simply when planning for small or awkward spaces.
Chris Kingaby, product and marketing director, agrees; “The evolution of modern shower enclosures means that we, as manufacturers, can offer so much more for the retailer and consumer. Visually stunning contemporary enclosures which can be personalised to suit even the most unique design schemes are a must.”
Coram UK recently celebrated the British launch of its exclusive shower glass brand, Sealskin, and its premium range of Sealskin duka enclosures. The launch consists of three key styles: acqua 5000, libero 5000 and pura 500, all compatible with both wetroom floors and shower trays, offering maximum flexibility for the bathroom designer and end-user.

Kudos Pinnacle8
A study by RIBA* found that on average a new three-bedroom home is missing 4m² of floor space – the size of a family bathroom – while the smallest homes were missing the space equivalent to a double bedroom. British homes have an average floor space of 71.2 sq. m. This is compared to Germany’s average of 92.7 sq. m. and Italy’s average of 108.2 sq. The shortage of land for new homes and a trend for multiple bathrooms in existing housing stock means the space allocated for shower rooms is under pressure.
A quadrant shower takes up less overall space than a square enclosure of the same size and fits neatly into the corner. Kudos has expanded its collection of Pinnacle8 luxury shower enclosuresto satisfy growing demand and is now one of the most popular selling enclosure ranges offered, the collection has been expanded again and new options are available to retailers from March.
Water wise

Its Chromalux® Supreme Shower Hose, coupled with a retrofittable Pressure Compensating Washer (PCW), saves water and controls the flow. The range of smooth, soft and flexible hoses incorporates chrome-plated connectivity with the options of a swivel connection, an integrated check valve and a washer regulator.
