Leading UK shower designer and manufacturer, Roman, has introduced two new impressive Colossus Shower Enclosures to their toughened 8mm thick glass range, Lumin8. The two new additions to the Lumin8 collection are the 1700mm Colossus and the 1450mm Colossus, both will create an eye-catching feature in the bathroom. They stand at an elegant height of 1950mm with toughened 8mm thick glass, feature a bright silver frame, chrome top caps and incorporate 25mm vertical adjustment.

The Lumin8 1700mm Colossus is a direct bath replacement Enclosure, which occupies the same wall dimensions as a standard UK bath. The curvaceous nature of the Colossus means it bows out into the room to create a spacious and indulgent showering area. The Enclosure provides an effortless showering solution, with doors eliminated offering a wide and easy door less entry. It imitates a wetroom in its styling, whilst providing a more enclosed showering area, which is preferred in the UK bathroom. Due to requests from Retailers and Designers the new version can also be fitted against one wall to make awkward bathroom renovations easy.

Whilst the 1700mm is a direct bath replacement (due to the 700mm wall fixing at each end of the tray) the Lumin8 1450mm Colossus offers a luxurious curved Walk-In option in and around standard shower enclosure footprints. The curved panel ensures that the showering area is maximised at all times.

Both the 1700mm and 1450mm Colossus have their own dedicated shower trays, which provide sweeping level access with 50mm nominal height. They are manufactured at the Roman Headquarters in their Tray Plant from Roman Stone using Solid Surface Technology. The complete Lumin8 Tray range is suitable for use with power shower systems and carries away 25 litres of water per minute. These shower trays feature different finish options including a gloss or matt finish and if you would like a unique look Roman now offer original shimmer finishes in glittering black, grey or white. The Colossus can also be installed straight to floor using the Roman Wetroom Shield System, which includes everything you need to tank a room, including complete wetroom kits to make the process easy.

As with all Roman Enclosures, Wetroom Panels and Bath Screens, the new Lumin8 Colossus Shower Enclosures will be manufactured in the UK. All products also feature Roman’s pre-coated glass protection as standard, for easy cleaning and lasting clarity. They also carry Roman’s service backed Truelife Lifetime Guarantee.

David Osborne, Managing Director of Roman, commented: “We are delighted to launch two new versions of our Colossus Shower Enclosure to provide people with the option of a bath replacement enclosure or a standard footprint shower enclosure. In 2001 we were the first in the industry to offer a bath replacement enclosure and we are very proud to be introducing these new luxury versions into our 8mm collection.”
