The valve can now be operated from both the inside and outside of the enclosure. This enables the user to easily turn the shower on from outside of the enclosure, allowing time for the shower to reach the required temperature before entering the enclosure.
The Roman Sculptures Walk-in is a luxurious enclosure which features contemporary 10mm thick toughened glass and minimal framing. By integrating the valve into the enclosure it all becomes one ultra-modern unit, making the enclosure even more extraordinary.
The revolutionary in-line valve and kit offers a host of new functions incorporating a 10” (250mm) drench shower head, creating the ultimate rainfall experience. A multi-spray 5 mode hand shower provides ultimate flexibility with massage, soft massage, hard rain, soft rain, and pulse modes. There is also the option of 2 independently controlled body-jets- to create the ultimate in showering luxury. The advanced thermostatic controls regulate the temperature to +/- 1ºC, and the valve is factory set to a maximum operating temperature of 43°C, in line with safety legislation it also features automatic shutdown in the event of hot or cold water failure.
The bespoke low-level tray to suit the Roman Sculptures Walk-in features an integrated duckboard style drying area. This is manufactured from the same material as the tray to ensure a long life-span and is removable for easy cleaning. The tray offers a maximum flow rate of 25 litres per minute and comes complete with a designer stainless steel grid waste that sits flush with the tray.
The walk-in nature of the enclosure and the low-level tray allows easy access for all, making it the ideal cross-over product for the less-able market.
Julian Pearson, Commercial Director at Roman comments; “We are very excited about this product launch, which we know is greatly anticipated by our customers. During KBB 2006 we showed a prototype of the Roman Sculptures Walk-in with Integrated Water Delivery and everybody was very excited about it. One of the key pieces of feedback we got from showing the prototype was that people wanted to be able to operate the valve from both inside and outside of the enclosure. Our designers went away and worked on this and we have successfully incorporated this additional selling feature into the product.
“At Roman we always strive to be first and to be seen as an innovator, 2007 will be a very exciting year for us as we launch additional products into the Roman Sculptures range, along with many other new ranges and products. The most exciting aspect of these is the integration of water delivery into our enclosures, which will confirm Roman as the complete showering package manufacturer.”
