Crosswater’s new OPTIX 10 and GALLERY 10
The shower used to be a quick and efficient alternative to the bath, a functional space designed for washing in before dashing from to carry on with the day. Not anymore. Shower spaces have taken a distinct turn for the luxurious, part of the bathroom’s evolution from practical space to indulgent retreat. Showers are no longer simply about cleanliness, but how you feel doused in the water – relaxation and revitalisation are the aim, and every element of the shower should contribute to a mood of wellness, serenity and contentment.
Each detail of the shower affects the ambiance, from the smallest valve to brassware and the wall surface. The surroundings set the tone for the ritual of showering – be it enlivening and invigorating within vibrant colours and gleaming finishes or soft and soothing in neutral tones and matt textures – but it’s the shower enclosure that quite literally defines the space. Carving out a physical zone within the bathroom, glass glazing acts as a frame to the shower experience, providing privacy and solidity as well as flawless sparkle and shine.
‘The right glass shower enclosure can add a real sense of luxury to a bathroom and elevate the entire space’ says Graeme Borchard, MD at UK Bathrooms. ‘Crosswater’s new collections combine lavish 10mm thick screens with multiple door and coloured finish options to create both style statements and practical, design-led shower solutions.’
Crosswater’s two new ranges OPTIX 10 and GALLERY 10 offer shower enclosures in a generous, 10mm thick toughened safety glass for incredibly high quality and performance for a lavish, spa-like atmosphere.
OPTIX 10
The OPTIX 10 collection comprises four glass door types – multiple options for sliding and pivot doors as well as bath screens – with long-lasting finish choices of decadent golden Brushed Brass, classic silver Stainless Steel and on-trend Black, which coordinate with the brand’s extensive MPRO colours. Each option exudes luxury for a shower that will make the shoulders drop and the heart sing each time you step inside.
GALLERY 10
A holistic shower solution, GALLERY 10 spans finely crafted glass panels, profiles and bracing bars with an assortment of finishes and layout options for maximum design flexibility. Brushed and Polished Stainless Steel create a traditional-yet-minimal feel, while the Brushed Brass and Matt Black finishes offer a more edgy, statement look. The collection makes it easy to create a personality-filled showers with a chic, timeless twist.
