Roman Ltd, one of the UK’s leading shower designers and manufacturers, exhibited a selection of their range at this year’s ISH exhibition, Frankfurt. It is the first time the company have exhibited at the show, which marked the launch of their Desire Range, along with other new additions to their existing ranges.Their dedicated Export Team, whose languages include Spanish, French, German and Italian, were on hand throughout the exhibition. They showed visitors from all over the World around the stand and flew the flag for British manufacture and design.

The talking points of the stand were the new Sculptures Corner Panel with Concealed Profile, alongside Roman’s Bespoke Capabilities. The Sculptures Corner Panel with Concealed Profile is designed so the profile is completely recessed into the wall and only the glass is visible, which makes the panel appear to float, for a real minimalist statement.

Visitors were also impressed by Roman’s brand new Desire range. It is a collection of revolutionary shower enclosures which transform the traditional concept that the sliding mechanism on an enclosure with a sliding door, must be at the top of the enclosure. The range has turned showering on its head by incorporating the sliding mechanism into the base of the enclosure. This unique concept is an internationally patented design and offers almost ‘frictionless’ door movement. The range includes the Desire Sliding Door and the Desire Quadrants, available in three different styling options.

Also receiving attention on the stand was the new addition to Roman’s Embrace range. These included the Folding Bath Screen, a carefully styled screen which is approved for use with power showers and neatly folds away when not in use; and also the Embrace Three Panel Sliding Door Enclosure. This enclosure offers an extravagant door opening due to it’s cleverly designed three panel sequential sliding system, which incorporates an ‘active’ middle door to ensure a smooth gliding opening.

Roman’s Managing Director, David Osborne commented: “ISH was a fantastic show for us. We had so many visitors on our stand from all over the World. The quality of visitors was excellent and we are already quoting for a number of projects. The feedback we received from visitors to the stand was phenomenal. Export is a key growth area for Roman, so being able to showcase our products and capabilities to so many different people from all over the World was really important to us.”
