Delivery times
Delivery times depend on quantity and location.
Is the Roman Shower really watertight?
Yes, the door is firmly latched when you close it and sealed against a high-quality silicon seal. The pressure of the water against the door ensures it is watertight.
The shower area requires standard waterproofing membranes . Two coats of waterproof membrane at bath level is recommended.
What happens if I open the door?
Generally the pressure of the water in the bath makes hard to open the door. If you open the door a slight leak may occur however, this would flow into the drain opening in the bathroom floor outside the bath area.
Is it comfortable?
Your Roman Shower provides a large luxurious shower space with easy walk-in access. The Roman-style bath, with its tiled floor, is as comfortable as any regular bath or outdoor tiled pool spa. Waterproof seats, headrests and under-tile heating are all optional extras.
Once you have filled the bath with warm water and lay back, your body becomes buoyant making you float, adding to your comfort.
Is it easy to clean?
You clean a Roman Shower just like a normal shower. The walk-in access provides easier access for cleaning, especially the bath area. No more bending over a bath edge straining your back.
What is the backrest and is this supplied?
The backrest is a low angled wall designed to make the bath more comfortable. It also visually communicates that this is more than just a normal shower.
Your tradesman builds the low angled wall in to suit the frame size and wall. You can change the shelf width to suit your installation space.
This wall can also act as the end of your bath, without the full height wall.
Is the walk-in access easy?
Yes. The floor is level inside and outside the shower area, with a small 50-70mm (1.97- 2.76 inches) step for the door frame. The door is wide enough to walk through easily, however the current design is not wide enough for a wheelchair.
What warranty am I offered?
The Roman Shower is manufactured to a very high standards under strict quality control. We offer a 7 year warranty.
What are the benefits of the Roman Shower?
The Roman Shower saves approx. 1.3 sqm as you do not need extra space for a bathtub. This is a cost saving and can free up considerable space in your bathroom for such things as double basins or extra storage.
It provides easy walk-in access for showering, especially those with mobility issues. It is suitable for units, apartments, hotels, aged-care and regular homes. It is ideal for anyone who showers regularly but likes the occasional bath. It adds resale value to a property as it is classified as both a shower and a bath.
