Mirrors, from the simplest to the most “demanding”, were among the protagonists.

Functionality linked to water and energy saving

In the sustainable bathroom, traditional lights give way to LED lamps which, in addition to lasting longer, consume about 80% less energy.

 

Innovative and Eco-Friendly designer radiators are not just furnishing elements but help maintain the desired temperature with minimal energy consumption.

 

Water is a precious commodity and its use must be increasingly careful. At the Salone Internazionale del Bagno, innovative proposals were presented to counteract water waste. From sanitary ware with reduced flush to intelligent mixers equipped with cartridges with flow and temperature limiters. Low flow shower heads also allow you to reduce the amount of water used.

From being marginal, the bathroom accessory becomes the protagonist and communicates on a par with the other elements that make up the environment. Great attention to the colors of the accessories capable of enhancing the feeling of well-being to be experienced in this room.

Shower chromotherapy: 5 things you may not know

Shower chromotherapy: 5 things you may not know

Uncategorized Page 2

Chromotherapy uses light to treat various medical conditions. It is used for relieving pain of various kinds and healing wounds. Shower chromotherapy is a tool that can be easily installed in your bathroom, inside a quality shower cubicle. Find out how this form of light therapy works and how it can benefit your health.

Chromotherapy: what is it?

Chromotherapy is a type of light therapy that uses different wavelengths of visible light to stimulate the body’s natural response to heal itself. It is a non-traditional medicine that has been around for centuries. The ancient Egyptians used it for medical purposes and the ancient Greeks for spiritual purposes.

 

Nowadays, we mainly use color therapy as a way to improve our mood and sleep better. This practice dates back more than 4,000 years ago, to the ancient Egyptian and Greek civilizations, which used chromotherapy to treat ailments such as depression.

 

However, it was more recently that it began to be used knowledgeably and effectively: thanks to Dr. Hans Berger in the 1920s. Dr. Berger noticed that when he exposed patients with certain skin conditions to red light, their symptoms improved. Since then, scientists have studied the effects of different colors of light on our bodies. They found that blue light stimulates melatonin production, while green light helps regulate blood pressure. Red light also improves sleep quality and reduces stress levels.

Wavelengths of light

Shower with chromotherapy? Yes you can!

The shower is a place for relaxation and rejuvenation, the best place to use chromotherapy. The water and the steam will help you immerse yourself in the beneficial light of the colours, giving a touch of magic to your shower. Chromotherapy uses the meaning of colors to relax and harmonize mind, body and spirit. A situation in which each color emits its own frequency, helping to restore balance and providing the necessary energy.

 

Bobox Plus and the Steam by Relax introduce the added value of chromotherapy into the shower enclosure: a unique journey towards relaxation, health and well-being, in which the chromatic curative bath becomes extremely important.

 

The chromatic healing bath is a type of holistic therapy based on the principles of colors: it can be used in the shower and in the bathtub, according to the colors you need at that moment. It will release stress, renew energy, give peace and bring harmony. Chromotherapy in the shower is based on the idea that the body can absorb colors and that different colors can affect the body in different ways, resulting in different treatments for different conditions.

Color therapy and benefits of shower chromotherapy

Color therapy, or chromotherapy, is a simple yet powerful healing method. Light has many benefits on the human body and mind. Colors can affect our emotions and health through the eyes.

 

You can benefit from the healing power of chromotherapy by illuminating your Made in Italy quality shower enclosure with colours. Using different shades and knowing the meaning of colors will bring about positive changes in your life and help you relieve stress, strengthen your immune system, and improve sleep and concentration. The simplest solution is undoubtedly the one that involves chromotherapy and shower in a perfect combination of well-being and personal care.

 

As we said earlier, chromotherapy is the use of color to improve health and well-being. Its benefits have been used for centuries by different cultures to promote a sense of well-being, relaxation and spiritual balance. There are, in fact, many advantages that derive from chromotherapy. Some of these benefits include: improving sleep, reducing stress levels, relieving pain, and creating feelings of safety and security. The use of chromotherapy is not limited to physical healing but also and above all to mental and emotional health.

Shower chromotherapy: which products to choose?

You will first need to find a place to set up your chromotherapy shower. If possible, choose an area with good air circulation so you don’t feel too hot or cold while using the device. Also consider how much sunlight there is in the room. If the sun reflects directly into the room, you may not be able to see colors well enough.

 

Relax, manufacturer of certified quality Made in Italy shower enclosures, offers two different solutions in the catalog for using shower chromotherapy. Each one, unique in its kind, uses the most modern technologies to stimulate the senses with colour, let’s see them in detail:

Steam collection

Steam showers at home are a great way to relax and rejuvenate. Steam showers offer more than just relaxation – they can help improve circulation, detoxify the body, and even aid in weight loss.

 

The Steam collection consists of various solutions for the Turkish bath. From the niche to the shower cabin for the corner Turkish bath, all of them can be combined with chromotherapy, a panacea for the wellness experience at home. All shower enclosures for the Steam Turkish bath are certified and completely Made in Italy.

Bobox Plus

The Bobox shower enclosure collection consists of the Bobox Plus design shower enclosure. Selected for the ADI – Design Index, stands out from the other shower enclosures for its unusual shapes, characterized by the glass radius typical of this collection, a true mastery of completely Italian production.
 

Bobox Plus is not only design, but also a functional shower enclosure. Thanks to the addition of the upper roof, Bobox Plus becomes a complete shower cubicle. A cascade of water is ready to refresh directly from the roof, while the addition of chromotherapy lends itself to cheering up the moment of the shower. An experience to try.

Meaning of colors in chromotherapy

Chromotherapy is the use of color to rebalance the physical, mental and emotional being. Each color has a particular effect on the body and mind because it vibrates at different frequencies. Each color creates a specific energy in our body and this energy affects all aspects of our health and well-being. The art of chromotherapy has been practiced for centuries by many ancient cultures such as the Tibetans, Chinese, Hindus and Egyptians. Find out what the various colors are associated with:

 

  • Green: symbol of harmony, nature, balance and hope. It helps to spread harmony and calm
  • Red: fire symbol. It is connected to strength, life, passion. Useful against depression, asthma and impotence
  • Blue: has a calming effect. Calms and refreshes, it is used against stress, anxiety and insomnia.
  • Yellow: promotes concentration at the gastric level

Conclusions

Light therapy has been used for centuries to improve mood, sleep, and treat a variety of other ailments. Setting up a real wellness area in your bathroom including chromotherapy shower is much simpler than you think and the benefits that can be drawn from it are many! If you are building your Zen space inside the bathroom, don’t forget to consider adding a certified quality shower chromotherapy. For more information, you can consult our selection of products for the wellness area.

Quality shower enclosures: what are TÜV tests?

Quality shower enclosures: what are TÜV tests?

Uncategorized Page 2
Quality shower enclosure with TUV shower enclosure certifications

TÜV certification is a non-mandatory requirement for shower enclosures. It ensures that the product meets safety standards and has been manufactured according to strict guidelines. All the Relax quality shower enclosures are Made in Italy and certified completely by TÜV SUD.

What is a TÜV test and why is it important?

TÜV tests are an important part of ensuring that shower enclosures meet safety requirements. These tests are carried out by the TÜV SUD certification body in Italy. Shower enclosures must meet certain safety standards to ensure that users are protected from injury during use.

 

This includes ensuring they are safe to use in an emergency and pose no risk to children or adults who might accidentally fall inside. A quality shower enclosure must then satisfy various quality standards, including: resistance to wear, cleanability, durability. A Relax shower enclosure must therefore be: safe, functional, of quality.

tuv salt spray test

Salt spray test

How does it work?

A TÜV certificate is issued by the German Technical Inspection Association (TÜV) after thorough and extensive product testing. The TÜV certifying body tests the product according to its own requirements and those established by other international organizations such as the European Union, always guaranteeing the highest quality standard.

 

This is the strength of Relax in always proposing a quality shower enclosure that can meet different needs. But what are the tests that are carried out on Relax shower enclosures?

  • Resistance and fatigue: the doors are required to exceed 20,000 opening and closing cycles through a simulation that quantifies approximately 13 years of prolonged use for a family of 4 people. But how exactly does it work? In a controlled laboratory, the door, which must be opened and closed for the total number of times necessary to pass the test, is placed on an electrically powered machine which proceeds to open and close the door, all until the cycles are finished.
  • Stability: indicates the resistance of the glass to a 45 kg body dropped on it. The test simulates falling in the shower and the response of the materials to such stress. The simulation is obtained with a bag weighing 45 kg dropped on the glass by force of gravity. An example video:
  • Water retention: guarantees the tightness of the shower enclosure against water leakage during normal use. To obtain this specific certification, the TÜV technicians take care of pointing the hand shower towards the critical points of the shower enclosure, to verify its water tightness. Below an example video:
  • Salt spray: this is one of the most important tests, as it certifies the durability of the materials. It consists in inserting the aluminum profiles in a special containing chamber with a saline fog solution which acts on the materials continuously for a long time. The Relax shower enclosures are therefore certified by a fog that simulates the effect of significant corrosion, the result of years and years of use.

How to recognize a quality shower enclosure?

 

  • All Relax shower enclosures are distinguished by the CE marking, a symbol which certifies and guarantees compliance with all relevant European requirements.

 

  • A quality shower enclosure is guaranteed for many years after purchase: Relax guarantees a full 7 years for the duration of the materials against corrosion.

 

  • From the “tempered” acronym on the glass: a quality shower enclosure also stands out for the safety that only tempered glass can provide. You will find it on every Relax glass.

What happens after the test?

Once the TÜV certificate has been issued, it is a good idea to apply it visibly to demonstrate that the product complies with the reference standards. All Relax quality shower enclosures have a TÜV logo on the original packing box. Look for it to make sure that yours too is a certified quality shower enclosure.

A shower enclosure also proves its quality in after-purchase customer service. Relax has an assistance service available 6 days a week, which includes: free advice, direct support for measuring measurements and assembly, and after-sales service.

Conclusions

Relax ensures quality, certified and completely Made in Italy shower enclosures, worked by the best professionals in the sector and created from the best raw materials. Each test carried out on Relax products ascertains their stylistic and functional perfection. For more information on the TÜV certification body, click here.

Bathtub replacement with shower

Bathtub replacement with shower: discover the cladding with shower walls

Uncategorized Page 2
pvc shower wall panels

One of the most popular interior renovation choices in recent years is certainly that of replacing the bathtub with a shower, in which more and more people choose to give up the bathtub in the bathroom to replace it with something more practical and quick like a shower enclosure.

Bathtub replacement with shower: what it is

The amount of work involved in a renovation like this is important, but don’t be intimidated by the different things to do, there are teams of renovators who take care of just that, but if you want to proceed independently or follow the progress of the work, here are the highlights:

 

  • Removal. The removal of what we want to replace, such as the tub and the masonry cladding that surrounds it (if built-in). This is the phase in which the spaces are already starting to highlight, allowing us to have a clearer vision of what the clutter will be removed from the total surface of the bathroom.

 

  • Plant engineering. The beating heart of your new shower enclosure is born and evolves in this crucial phase in which each hydraulic and/or electrical element comes to life in its new location.

 

  • Installing the shower tray. It’s time to install the shower tray you have chosen! This will be the support base for all the installation of the shower enclosure that will follow. Whether you have chosen a stone-effect shower tray or one in pure white solid surface, will be the starting point for all your relaxing showers.

 

  • Laying the coverings. Previously, did the tiles come off when you removed the sanitary ware? No problem. In the phase of replacing the bathtub with a shower, an important part is also covered by the wall cladding. So what is the ideal solution to cover the walls? It is always a good idea to rely on an Italian manufacturer of shower enclosures quality and completely Made in Italy accessories, like Relax, which has thought of a solution practical and fast, as well as cheaper than the classic masonry cladding: shower walls. These are panels in PVC, solid surface or gel-coat coated resins and minerals specially designed to cover damaged walls or simply to change the look of your bathroom! Continue reading to find out more.

 

  • Installation of the shower enclosure. The great moment has arrived, the months of projects that you have left behind are about to take shape and you are ready to assemble your shower enclosure. Before doing so, however, take a minute to consult our list of authorised assistance centres, present throughout Italy, they will know how to assemble everything with speed and surgical precision. li>

 

  • Photo! The satisfaction of seeing a beautiful project take shape is indescribable, especially if it’s yours! Take a photo and tag us!

Shower walls: for an optimal replacement of bathtub with shower

During renovations, especially when replacing a bathtub with a shower, it is common for the tiles that cover the bathroom to get damaged, to be removed on purpose or that they are not present in the lower part of the masonry, where the tub used to be.

 

The solutions ahead are two, very different from each other:

 

  • Do an expensive tiling job and completely cover the wall

 

  • Install solid and elegant ready-to-use shower walls, such as the Relax ones

 

But what exactly do shower walls consist of?

They are elements in PVC, solid surface or resins and minerals covered with a completely waterproof gel-coat that must be positioned behind the shower tray, close to the wall, covering it entirely. Shower walls are one of the most common and simplest solutions to use during the renovation phase, because unlike masonry cladding, they only need to be positioned and glued to the wall, without any kind of effort.

 

What is one of the most appreciated features of shower enclosures?

Certainly the possibility of cutting them to measure, based on the needs of each bathroom. They are, however, available in different formats and sizes.

Relax shower walls

Relax, the manufacturer of Made in Italy quality shower enclosures, offers two different shower wall solutions in its catalog to solve the problems associated with restructuring and replacing the bathtub with a shower.

Boiserie Lago

Wall in resins and minerals coated with gel-coat, a protective gel which, solidifying, protects the external surface of the boiserie. Available in 4 different colors, it is solid, robust and can be completely restored with a cloth if it gets dirty. It also proves to be the ideal solution for custom-sized situations: it is in fact possible to cut it on site at will, according to needs.

Boiserie Concrete

Waterproof, light, with a refined style. The Concrete boiserie shower wall is ideal for completing the shower enclosure for those who have an eye particularly attentive to design and color composition. It is available in 4 different colors that recall the classic motifs and veins of the concrete.

Bathtub replacement with shower: which shower enclosure to choose?

Replacing a bathtub with a shower involves inserting a shower enclosure inside the bathroom, but how can you choose the one that best suits your needs? We have prepared a selection guide to help you choose, alternatively, carefully evaluate these 3 points:

  • Angle, in a niche or in the center of the wall: each shower cubicle has specific measurements and openings based on its positioning inside the bathroom.

 

  • Shower tray. There are different types of shower trays, the most common are: above the floor (the most common of all), flush with the floor (for a more chic solution) and recessed under the floor. Have you already taken a look at our selection of completely restorable Made in Italy shower trays? Remember that each covering on the shower tray shortens the latter by a few centimetres, so pay the utmost attention when entering the measurements!

 

  • Shower enclosure opening. Arrived at the moment of choice, choose a quality shower enclosure, certified and produced in Italy. Among the different openings that characterize the shower enclosures, then, choosing the one that best suits your needs is not a trivial matter. Let’s see them in detail below.

  • Walk-in: is the shower enclosure without the door. Composed only of a glass wall, supported by a stabilizer bar or by our brand new Oblique shelf. It is a practical and elegant solution that does not require great maintenance and cleaning.

 

  • Sliding: the most common shower stall. The sliding door adapts to almost any type of bathroom and is characterized by unparalleled practicality. Some Relax models also have a door release, to make cleaning more practical.

 

  • Hinged: elegant, fine, practical. The shower enclosure with hinged door stands out for the possibility of using doors with inward and outward opening, which facilitate the passage.

 

  • Pivot: the stage opening. The shower enclosures with pivot door have an opening with a pivot 18 cm from the wall: this adds further wall space for storing objects such as towels or bathrobes. Like the hinged door, it has inward and outward opening.

 

  • Folding: the least cumbersome opening. Thanks to the possibility of folding back on itself, the folding (or folding) door is the least bulky of all, the ideal choice for those with limited space in the bathroom.

 

  • Saloon: openness for all. The shower enclosure with saloon door stands out for the little space it takes up, but not only that, also for the possibility of opening and closing the doors internally or externally, according to the need.

All the choices made must be compared with the measurements actually present inside the bathroom. And when the measurements in the catalog are not suitable for the dimensions of my bathroom? Relax, a manufacturer of quality shower enclosures with proven experience, also supplies the catalog with the possibility of creating made-to-measure shower enclosures from scratch, providing assistance both in the measurement phase and in the product installation phase, for a complete service! For a bathtub with shower replacement, with TÜV SÜD certified products, also take a look at our shower enclosure page!

Flowers in the bathroom, ideas on how to decorate

Flowers in the bathroom, ideas on how to decorate

Uncategorized Page 2
flowers inside the vases in home decoration

In this article, Relax intends to talk about decor, not just using flowers as beautiful decorative elements. Flowers and plants are characteristic elements of the furniture, especially the flowers in the bathroom. The flowers are beautiful and give any room a note of freshness and perfume. Indeed, it is a good thing to decorate with flowers due to the importance of the olfactory sensations of each individual environment.

Why put flowers all over the house even in the bathroom?

Anyone who thinks it’s better to avoid flowers at home is wrong, flowers bring many benefits. Flowering plants in the bedroom help you rest better, flowers in the bathroom are an extra touch of perfume. Bringing a little nature into the house will make us feel good.

How to choose the best flowers and how to recycle old tools for home flowers?

At the florist there are many ready-made solutions but it is more creative and stimulating to create your own compositions. Our advice is to use old objects and give them new life as containers for our flowers. Even a pot filled with flowers can become an excellent piece of furniture, or a jug or an old teapot or old bottles. It’s time to retrieve these items from the storage rooms and fill them with flowers. In this way you can give each room great originality and elegance. Flowers create emotions inside a house, in every corner and in every environment. They immediately give any room a touch of elegance and fragrance.

How to keep potted flowers beautiful and healthy for as long as possible

Here are Relax’s suggestions.

 

  • Buy and pick the flowers still closed in bud
  • Fill the containers with water at room temperature
  • Cut the stem of the flowers diagonally
  • Remove all the leaves that remain below the water level in the vase or container.

Where and how to place flowers in the house?

The position of the flowers depends on the other furnishing elements. Place the flowers near a light source and in that area where we want to draw attention. Flowers in the bathroom between soaps, perfumes and candles give beauty and personality: two essential elements in a home. Choose the color of the flowers based on the colors of the environment.

Flowers in the kitchen

In the kitchen you can give a breath of freshness with flowers. You can use small or large containers depending on the position. For example, above the fridge, on the windowsill, on the open wall units or on the shelves. In the kitchen, country compositions are recommended.

Flowers in the bedroom

If you want to give a touch of novelty to the bedroom without changing the decor, you can resort to flowers. Flowers can in fact give a touch of new joy to the bedroom. You can create a station of red roses on the bedside table or a bouquet of flowers where the beauty routine is usually carried out. Alternatively place a floral arrangement on the bench at the foot of the bed. The Relax suggestion is to collect the roses with a silver ribbon alongside colored flower petals.

Flowers in the living room

In the living room you can make floral compositions gathered with large ribbons with a few sprigs of thyme to perfume the house. If the living room is elegant, Relax recommends decorating it with roses in shades of white or pink combined with the soft light of candles.

Roses at home

Roses are perfect for decorating the house. The Rose in any color is an elegant and refined flower and guarantees a very particular style in any corner where it is placed.

Flowers in the bathroom

Spray perfumers, electric diffusers and scented plates have been on sale for the bathroom for some time, but the bathroom and laundry with these technological products will never have the good fresh and clean scent that only flowers can give. Lavender is very suitable for laundry which can give a touch of color and freshness to the whole environment. If possible, focus on the Lavender of Provence which has very beautiful and fragrant flowers to be placed near the window.

Hydrangeas in the bathroom are refined and romantic, to be arranged in crystal vases or in elongated bottles. For a more cheerful and sparkling bathroom you can use small tin buckets or terracotta vases. Sunflowers are perfect for summer. If you have a green thumb, orchids are very suitable for the bathroom.

The orchids in the bathroom

The bathroom is enlivened by the exposure of the Orchids. For a nice furnishing solution you can use a small wooden staircase. The steps are the ideal base on which to place the pots with orchids. These stairs can be placed either near the window or in an area that is not used much, but which will become a fascinating attraction thanks to the Orchids.

Flowers in the bathroom or candles?

Today flowering plants are trendy but above all they have the great advantage of purifying the air. In the bathroom, plants also absorb moisture. Candles are valid for decorating the bathroom but are especially useful for eliminating bad smells. Relax’s advice is to mix flowering plants and candles. For the topic which plants are more suitable in the bathroom, we refer you to our two dedicated articles.

Hanging planters or ceiling plants in the bathroom?

Recently, to make home bathrooms more natural, suspended planters and ceiling plants have become popular, especially if you live in a city apartment. Hanging planters do not take up any floor space, but can be hung on the wall. The same thing can be done with flowering plants on the ceiling, which help to create a garden in the bathroom at home. The most suitable flowers in terms of size, structure, and growth to be inserted in suspended planters are:

 

  • Petunias
  • Begonias
  • Ferns
  • Daisies
  • Geraniums
  • Ivy
  • Lavender

Flowers in the bathroom: the charm and elegance of aquatic flowers

Aquatic plants and flowers are real furnishing accessories, they are suitable for the living room and bedroom but are particularly recommended for the bathroom. Water flowers have a spectacular scenic effect. Tulips and hyacinths can be transplanted into totally transparent pots where the bulbs are visible and where only a little water is needed at root level. To grow tulips and hyacinths, a solution of water and liquid fertilizer will be sufficient.

Aquatic plants

Those who love small aquatic shrubs can resort to hydroponics, which is able to grow green “saplings”, where the roots are visible in transparent pots. Their stem and foliage are particularly beautiful and decorative. Alternatively, aquatic plants can be used in cup-shaped vases, or teapots or tureens where they live very well, creating an ideal, fascinating and above all very lively decor.

The vertical garden

The vertical garden is an innovative and completely “Green” solution. The vertical garden is all the rage and can be installed in any room of the house. It is a wall where soil is placed and where various flowers or seedlings are sown. The flowery wall creates a unique and inimitable effect, it is also a suitable proposal for small apartments. The Vertical Garden is very decorative and helps to furnish the rooms where it is placed well. The Vertical Garden is on the market in modular solutions that are perfectly installed near a window or in any room where there is sufficient artificial lighting to grow flowers and plants

Conclusions

What we have indicated to you are just some of the many solutions that flowers can give us to make the house more elegant, more beautiful and more fragrant. In fact, flowers bring a touch of color and joy into the home that make the rooms more lively and sparkling. All it takes is a little imagination.

70×90 shower enclosure? 3 things to know

70×90 shower enclosure? 3 things to know

Uncategorized Page 2
70x90 corner shower enclosure with smart a+a double sliding door

What are the aspects to consider when choosing a 70×90 shower enclosure? Is it true that there are shower cubicles that “suit themselves” better than others to this precise dimension? Let’s find out together!

When you visit a bathroom furniture store, you seem to enter a paradise of colours: floors and coverings of all kinds, taps and fittings in every color and accessories with an ever more minimal design.

 

Often tray and shower cubicle seem to occupy the last places in this show and, especially when spaces are limited, the choice seems confined to: “70×90 shower cubicle or 80×80 shower enclosure?”
By now tired and exhausted, after having examined dozens of coverings and as many sanitary fixtures with accessories, the customers answer the consultant: “Do it yourself … what fits you best!”

 

In fact they are very similar dimensions (same perimeter, almost equivalent area) but absolutely different in the experience of use. We explain why:

Layout issues

Especially when it comes to replacing the bathtub, a 70×90 shower box seems the most suitable; the 70 cm depth coincides perfectly with that of a standard 70×170 bathtub in use until a few years ago. Its positioning is therefore more immediate, perhaps combined with a towel holder column to make better use of the space. The 70×90 shower cubicle often solves a new arrangement in narrow and long bathrooms, halfway between the sink and the bathroom fixtures, as an element of “detachment” between the 2 environments.

freestanding shower enclosure 70x90 plan from above

Long and narrow bathroom with 70×90 shower cubicle

Dimensions matter in the 70×90 shower enclosure

Even if it doesn’t seem like it, and not everyone will be convinced, the 70×90 shower cubicle offers much more generous dimensions than it seems. For this model, in fact, the position of the shower head or sliding rail is obligatory on the larger 90 cm side; during its use the user is therefore led to always position himself facing the water supply because the compressive volume of the elbows of an average person can even reach 65/70 cm. Furthermore, it is very frequent that the useful depth available is decreased both for the overlap of the cladding on the shower tray by at least 1 cm and by another 2 cm for the assembly of the shower cubicle, leaving 66/67 cm available for the user .

70×90 shower enclosure: the choice of the ideal shower enclosure

The third and final precaution to take into consideration is the choice of the model. There are, in fact, shower enclosure models that adapt better than others to the 70×90 dimensions, with specific conformations that improve the user experience. The choice of models involves an assessment of all the elements that could interfere with the opening: bathroom fixtures or front walls too close; the shower head oriented towards the swing opening or the total absence of a containment edge.

Different types of entrance

Sliding door opening

The 70×90 shower enclosure par excellence is the sliding one, perfect whether it is a corner or a center wall. A frame guarantees its stability, without the aid of stabilizer bars, and its tightness even in the event of momentary obstruction of the discharge.

 

Our choice is Smart A+A, a practical shower box, Made in Italy, with certified quality, equipped with important features such as a double sliding door and a containing lower profile, capable of containing the ‘waterfall.

70x90 corner shower enclosure with double sliding door

Folding door opening

There are also others, however, the 70×90 shower enclosures that lend themselves well to the purpose. Among all, the shower enclosures with folding door remain faithful allies of the closed spaces with reduced dimensions, thanks to the possibility of closing the door completely by exploiting all the available entrance space.

 

In this case, the 70×90 shower enclosure we recommend is Lyra PS+F, a quality shower enclosure, characterized by the handle, integrated directly into the profile, which, running along the entire height of the glass, allows for a firmer grip and therefore greater greater grip.

Saloon opening

Even the shower enclosure with saloon door is one of the ideal solutions for a 70×90 shower enclosure. Equipped with two doors, which can be opened externally and externally, they are among the most sought after for the measures described. The possibility of opening outwards makes it an easy-to-clean and practical shower cubicle.

 

Smart B2+F is the practical shower enclosure, perfect in the 70×90 shower enclosure sizes. Available in different colours, both for profiles and glass, it is a quality shower enclosure, completely produced in Italy.

Hinged door opening

Lastly, the 70×90 shower enclosure with hinged opening lends itself to many different situations, especially if equipped with internal and external opening, such as the minimal Wall 6A+AB shower enclosure. An elegant solution, equipped with an upper support arm and complete absence of profiles, a solution that makes it light and easily adaptable to any context.

Conclusions

When choosing the shower enclosure, there are many and different things to take into consideration. A 70×90 shower enclosure is distinguished by the asymmetry of the two sizes, an interesting situation that lends itself to very different openings and ways of understanding the shower enclosure.

Uncategorized Page 2

We were inspired by our territoriality and the pride we feel in representing it in the conception and creation of this new corporate video that will accompany us in 2023. Discover all its secrets here 👇

Emotion in Motion

“What would you like to do today?”. This is the common thread that accompanies us throughout this video, a set of voice messages, in a group of friends, asked to answer this question. The vocal responses, different from each other, are accompanied by a visual image which helps to understand the meaning of the speech. Visually proposing a sense of tranquillity, contentment and relaxation, there is a clear reference to the company name, in a complete closing circle.

Corporate video Relax 2022/2023

The voice message, leitmotiv of the video

Direction intentions: between musicality and tone of voice

Particular attention has been paid to the audio sector, especially to the choice of musicality. The entire narrative is supported by an important soundtrack. Particularly relevant is the ascending climax that rises up to the final sequence, a moment in which Relax unfolds in its purest form. Voice messages and soundtrack continue for the duration of the movie. A fruitful and convincing parallel that involves up to the final lines.

 

The tone of voice in this corporate video takes its cue from the company name and develops with it to outline an engaging and elegant narrative, which lends itself well to the images displayed on the screen. The pressing rhythm helps to mark the time and, leaving room for the story to be told, continues in its own track, with the same initial tonality and with the calmness and relaxation typical of a friendly conversation .

The locations

The choice of locations, with the aim of showing the natural places that fill our territories, was simple, in the light of the charm that surrounds them. In fact, for this institutional video, three places were chosen, each including a particularity that would specify the complexity and diversity of the Italian territory. All three, an integral part of the beauties of the Veneto, a place where Relax has been working with passion for almost 20 years now.

The chosen locations evoke Italian spirit

The aim of the corporate video

To conclude, the initial incipit, of a institutional video that could tell the story of the company and its values, giving space to people, is brilliantly achieved. The short film manages to enhance the points highlighted, winking at a valuable product, such as a quality shower enclosure, completely Italian-made and certified by TÜV SUD.

Climax on the final scene

The secrets for a beauty routine in the shower

The secrets for a beauty routine in the shower

Uncategorized Page 2

Taking a shower is an action that has now entered the daily routine of all of us. But have you ever considered implementing a real beauty routine in the shower? The advantages are different!

 

Sapevi inoltre, che dietro un gesto così banale come fare la doccia si nascondono delle insidie che possono rovinare la vostra pelle? Il ripetersi di azioni non corrette può avere conseguenze dannose. È necessario quindi modificare certe abitudini adottando pochi e semplici accorgimenti che fanno davvero la differenza.

 

In questo articolo Relax vi illustrerà come migliorare la vostra pelle sotto la doccia.

Do you know everything about the shower?

How often to shower?

 

The frequency of the shower depends on the type of activity. For a less active person, it is sufficient to use the shower enclosure 2/3 times a week. A sporty person can take 2 showers a day, aware that they must be short and soaping only where needed. Taking showers too often is bad because it dries out the skin. Showering every day is fine as long as you mostly use water. In fact, water is less harmful than soap.

Beauty routine in the shower: how to keep the skin hydrated?

 

If you take a shower often and want to prevent the skin from drying out and dehydrating, before taking a shower it is advisable to spread olive or almond oil on your body, natural products that help keep the skin more soft and supple.

What is the right water temperature for the shower?

 

The ideal temperature must be between 25 and 30 degrees. In case you want to take an invigorating shower and tone your muscles, you will have to use cold water with a temperature between 23 and 24 degrees. However, the cold shower is not recommended for those suffering from high blood pressure.

 

The hot water shower is recommended when the stress load is very high because it has positive effects on the nervous system. The water temperature must be between 31 and 36 degrees. This shower is not recommended for people with low blood pressure.

When to shower: in the morning or in the evening?

 

The best time is the one you prefer. In principle, there is no better time than another, but we can see what are the benefits of taking a shower in the morning or in the evening.

 

Taking a shower in the morning:

 

  • It is correct for those with oily skin. This eliminates the sebum that accumulates during the night.
  • Helps you wake up faster
  • Makes the skin brighter
  • It’s good for the heart
  • Enhance the person’s overall appearance

 

Shower at night:

 

  • It helps to rest better and fall asleep earlier
  • Reduces stress and anxiety
  • It is indicated for those who have excessive sweating

How long should a shower last?

 

You shouldn’t be in the shower for more than 5 minutes. The less time you stay there, the better. Long showers tend to dehydrate skin and hair.

 

Also, don’t overdo it with hot water. Hot water dries out skin’s moisture like nothing else, as well as stripping away necessary natural fats. Therefore, to maintain the correct hydration of the skin, the shower must be done with warm water.

 

NO too hard water!

 

If you live in an area with too hard water, you need to have a water filter inside your shower enclosure.

In this case, the water filter is not a luxury but the best way to protect your skin and hair.

Limestone-rich water contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium which, deposited on the skin and hair, cause dryness and irritation.

What are the best shower enclosures for a beauty routine?

Beauty routine in the shower: why prefer the shower to the sink?

 

We have always used the shower only to wash and moisturize ourselves, but why not use it to make it part of our daily beauty routine? The advantages that this can bring are many:

 

  • Important spaces. It is common that the sink in the bathroom is never large enough for all the cosmetic products we use.

 

  • Cleaning. Wide spaces and maximum comfort imply deep cleansing of face and body, in the same environment, a cure-all, right?

The benefits of a large walk-in shower

 

The keyword for well-being in the bathroom is: comfort. What can be more comfortable than a generously sized space? The benefits that a larger-than-standard shower can give are many, and they all depend on the great airiness of the rooms. We have selected for you two types of similar products, but with a completely different soul, they are both TÜV SÜD certified quality shower enclosures, but with different characteristics, let’s see them together:

 

  • Smart SC2. A generously sized shower enclosure, designed for two, but also easily usable by a single person. The large and generous spaces are ideal for allowing you to enjoy a very comfortable beauty routine.

 

  • Cover 2AC. A shower enclosure in a niche with a double sliding door. Dimensions are important, as are internal spaces. The most common solution foresees that more than one shelf can be positioned inside, allowing a greater support surface for all our cosmetic products.

Beauty routine in the shower: put away all your things

 

There is nothing more comfortable inside the shower compartment than being able to place shampoo and personal care products, sometimes bulky, with voluminous packages. A shelf, modular and combinable with other shelves, proves to be the ideal solution.

 

We created Oblique to allow you to place all the cosmetic products you want, combining design and practicality. It is a patented and recognized product (like many other Relax products, find more about our patents here) capable, by itself, of supporting a shower enclosure with glass up to 140 cm in length.

Sit down and take your time

 

Take a break and recharge. Take your time. Go ahead, take a hot shower and take care of yourself. Rest up and why not sit in the shower while you do your thing. Sometimes, to fully recharge your energies it is good to relax and stop, even more so in a moment of total relaxation such as taking a shower. Add a stool in your shower cubicle to give shape to your daily beauty routine in the shower. The Quadro stool takes care of you to provide a comfortable seat and, if necessary, becomes essential for placing all the cosmetic items you may need.

Hand towels

 

Preferring the shower to the sink for your beauty routine involves many conveniences. Among these, the possibility of having a towel directly at hand for any eventuality.

 

The pivoting door solves this problem by allowing us to have, directly upon exiting the shower, a towel ready (and if we want also warm) that we can grab on the fly. The Kubik collection solves this enigma, proposing a pivoting door 18 cm away from the wall, a considerable size, which allows you to easily install a towel holder. Seeing is believing!

Which cleansers to use in your beauty routine in the shower?

 

For themselves

It is advisable to use neutral PH or slightly alkaline detergents. The PH of the skin is around 5.5 therefore slightly acidic. The acid protective layer repels most bacteria. If we shower with an alkaline soap, the protective layer is weakened or even destroyed because the degree of acidity is no longer balanced. That’s why it’s good to use neutral or slightly acidic PH shower gels. Shower gels must not be perfumed or colored or foamed. It is advisable to use shower gels only for the most problematic areas. When taking a shower there is no need to always soap the whole body, it is enough to wash well: feet – armpits – bottom.

 

Hydrating after a shower is essential, dermatologists say, in fact, skin hydration cannot be missing, which must take place within a few minutes in order not to lose skin moisture and better trap hydration. It is an excellent beauty habit to leave the epidermis moist to facilitate the penetration of the active ingredients of skin beauty products.

 

For the shower enclosure

The shower enclosure doesn’t need all the attention we dedicate to our body, but some precautions are a must if we don’t want to risk irreparably ruining it.

 

Choose natural products for cleaning the shower cubicle. Emulsions of white vinegar, baking soda and lemon with a sponge can remove limescale completely. While, with solutions of denatured alcohol, white vinegar and water, glass and soap deposits can be cleaned.

 

In any case, a neutral detergent, if you don’t have the aforementioned elements available, can be a salvation, capable of cleaning all types of dirt without affecting the brilliance of glass and aluminum profiles with its PH.

Conclusions

The minutes we spend in the shower, according to Relax, are not just a simple way to provide for personal hygiene, but an important moment of well-being in which body and mind can completely relax and recover energy.

80×80 shower enclosure: how to make the most of it

80×80 shower enclosure: how to make the most of it

Uncategorized Page 2
Corner shower enclosure 80x80 with sliding doors seen from above

It is one of the most common shower enclosures on the market: the 80×80 cm shower enclosure proves to be a versatile product, thanks also to its “agile” dimensions. With its dimensions, it fits perfectly into many types of bathroom. Find out more 👇🏻

80×80 shower enclosure: real example in a bathroom

In a small bathroom, the size of the bathroom furniture plays a very important role, as does the shower enclosure. An 80×80 shower cubicle often finds its natural place in square bathrooms which in a small space must offer complete equipment and great comfort. We also talked about it here.

 

For this reason, Relax has provided various solutions, to allow even those who have a bathroom with not exactly generous dimensions to be able to install a quality shower enclosure.

 

An 80×80 shower enclosure leaves a margin of safety, the handful of centimeters sufficient to prevent accidental bumps of the elbows on the walls or on the glass, thus giving the perception of greater freedom of use and comfort. The arrangement of the taps is absolutely indifferent so as to exclude the possibility of incurring the risk of misunderstandings during the hydraulic preparation phase.

 

In the example shown here, it is possible to see a practical example of a 80×80 cm shower enclosure, inserted at an angle, where it is possible to use it without occupying important spaces. Maximum attention must be paid to the choice of the opening of the shower enclosure in a bathroom of this size. It is usually better to prefer a door that opens inside the shower enclosure: this allows you to fully exploit the space inside the bathroom.

80×80 shower enclosure: the recommended openings

There are many openings that are suitable for an 80×80 cm shower enclosure, but which are the most suitable for making the most of a space like this? The solutions are different, each suitable for one or more particular situations.

 

An 80×80 shower enclosure offers more choice without directing the user too much towards a sliding model. For balance in the proportions, arrangement of the taps and bathroom layout, it is often possible to choose a swing door combined with the fixed side to have a large entrance without risking excessively compromising the watertightness. If, on the other hand, there were impediments to full swing opening, it would always be possible to opt for a saloon or folding door.

 

All Relax shower enclosures are characterized by TÜV SÜD certification, completely Made in Italy and available in different sizes and finishes.

Different types of entrance for 80×80 cm shower enclosures

Pivoting door, Kubik AB+F

Kubik AB+F proves to be one of the most valuable solutions for an 80×80 cm shower enclosure. Equipped with a pivoting door and a support arm directly integrated into the frame, it remains one of the most minimal possibilities to be inserted inside the bathroom. The thin profiles, enhanced by a glass thickness of 6 or 8 mm, and the infinite combinations of finishes make Kubik an unparalleled product in the world of shower enclosures.

Saloon door, Light B2+F4

The saloon door proves to be one of the most comfortable and functional for taking advantage of all the entrance space of an 80×80 cm shower enclosure. The complete opening takes advantage of both the outside and the inside of the shower enclosure, thanks to this incredible feature, it is possible to enter and exit the shower even in dangerous situations. Light B2+F4 stands out for its marked linearity, in which glass is the absolute protagonist.

Folding door, Light AS+F3

The folding door stands out for its unparalleled versatility. Light AS+F3 stands out for the possibility of folding the folding door completely against the wall, so our shower cubicle can become really spacious, both during the shower and when entering and exiting it. The folding door of Light AS+F3 is light and minimal thanks to the structural absence of profiles. Learn more about Light AS+F3 here.

80×80 shower enclosure: conclusions

Dimensions very often make the difference between one opening system and another, so it is important to choose the ideal opening system for your shower cubicle and your size in the bathroom at home. The possibilities are many and all different, each with its own characteristics. The 4 openings illustrated in this article are, in different positions, common situations in a small bathroom.

Cersaie 2022: latest trends

Uncategorized Page 2
Cersaie 2022

The bathroom has become the place of design and beauty in which to take care of yourself and dedicate yourself to the well-being of body and mind. The latest trends at Cersaie 2022 are clear: the bathroom is taking on the appearance of a real spa. Let’s forget the bathroom as a service room, today it is a true place of well-being.

Home automation

Home automation has forcefully entered the bathroom. Wellness, in fact, is linked to digital tools and technology. Operating systems that can be controlled with a mobile phone are becoming more and more popular.

 

Music therapy, aromatherapy and chromotherapy are the masters in the shower or tub thanks to Bluetooth systems. They are easy to use and give so much well-being.

What will bathrooms be like in the future?

Shower enclosures

The walk-in is still an obvious trend. The success of this type of shower can be explained by the fact that the walk-in is ideal for those who want to share design and comfort. With the help of domotics they have been transformed into small spas, especially thanks to chromotherapy and aromatherapy. Music is another powerful stress reliever. It offers relief from stress and can give the right amount of relaxation. Also discover the walk-in shower enclosures by Relax, of design and certified quality TÜV SÜD, completely Made in Italy.

Home automation, chromotherapy and aromatherapy create a perfect mix for the shower enclosure

Cersaie 2022: the hot tub is one of the latest trends

Among the latest trends at Cersaie 2022, the whirlpool tub, the wellness tool par excellence, is the protagonist.

Beyond their aesthetic qualities, the current whirlpool tubs are characterized by continuous innovations from a technical point of view. The tubs are now perfect for ensuring maximum well-being for the body.

Whirlpool tub, the ultimate in well-being

Traditional bathtubs

The freestanding bathtubs with floor taps are constantly innovating. The ultra-modern bathtubs update the idea of the tub and combine aesthetics and practicality. They are in fact designed according to the standards of current ergonomics to offer maximum comfort.

 

They are made with the latest generation materials which have anti-slip and anti-wear characteristics capable of preventing the development of bacteria and can be cleaned very easily. They are compact tubs with high edges and welcoming volumes designed to give the body a lot of well-being.

Traditional bathtub, aesthetics and practicality

Cersaie 2022: the latest bathroom furniture trends

The bathroom furniture that characterizes Cersaie 2022 has simple and elegant shapes that take into account the renewed need for space, an element that has become a fundamental requirement in the bathroom environment.

 

Current bathroom furniture has a great aesthetic impact. They have clearly been designed for a decisive optimization of spaces by skilfully harmonizing functionality and design. Among the latest trends at Cersaie 2022 we have  furniture that winks at sustainability with extensive use of materials such as: wood – stone – marble.

 

The search for well-being for users is also evident in the bathroom furniture which incorporates many of the most useful elements for daily personal care

Bathroom furniture, timeless elegance

Sanitary ware and washbasins

Bathroom trends highlight increasingly compact sanitary ware, characterized by an elegant design. Another trend that has been dominating for some time and which continues to prove itself is the pair of wall-hung sanitary ware.

 

 

But it is the style that dominates among the bathroom fixtures:

 

Suspended toilets and bidets have become real design objects. We find solutions in a classic style revisited in a more current key: the so-called vintage and more modern solutions for minimalist or industrial-style bathrooms. The dominance of wall-hung sanitary ware is justified by the fact that they are much more functional than traditional ones. Once again the theme: cleaning – time – effort, pushes towards this type of sanitary ware which is much more hygienic since it has no support areas on the floor, making bathroom cleaning operations much easier and faster.

 

 

The trend of modern bathroom fixtures rhymes with colours. So why limit yourself to anonymous white washbasins – bidets – vases? Space for colors that recall nature. Countertop washbasins in particularly elegant shapes, especially rectangular or squared, are trendy.

Cersaie 2022, space for colours

Cersaie 2022: Faucets and shower mixers dominate the latest trends

Depending on the type of bathroom, we can identify 2 main trends:

 

 

1) The contemporary style

2) The vintage style

 

 

The offer of classic mixers has become wider and more articulated. For a vintage bathroom, classic mixers are offered with cross knobs and with a very sinuous, extremely elegant structure. The shower mixers with white ceramic levers are very trendy. Precisely in relation to this new taste great interest in finishes such as copper, bronze and gold has returned. The designer faucets have completely different lines. The stylistic imprint is to be found in the linearity of the forms and in the simplicity and essentiality.

 

 

With regard to contemporary faucets, one of the latest trends from Cersaie 2022, the most evident, as if to counterbalance the grayness of the period we are living in, is color. Space then for many variants of colored taps. The fashion shades are neutral from cream to sand through all shades of gray.

Taps and mixers, large choice of finishes

Coatings

The trendy bathroom is the perfect synthesis of elegance and functionality. The bathroom must be furnished with style and refinement. Coverings must be of great visual effect. Functionality is evident in the success of the large-format tiles, one of the latest great innovations at Cersaie 2022. This choice makes it possible to create continuous surfaces, with joints reduced to a minimum.

 

 

The aim is to have an easy to clean floor. The elegance of the large format marries continuity with the shower tray and also with the mosaic for the walls of the cubicle. Mosaic coverings are enjoying great success, especially those that reflect Mediterranean or geometric signs.

 

 

Thanks to the mosaic you can create plays of light with colours, for example inspired by the sea. The trend of the so-called terrazzo or grit style has consolidated which combines: marble – quartz – glass – concrete and which evokes the beauty of the old noble palaces.

 

 

The trend of glossy black tiles continues, giving brightness to the bathroom and making it luxurious.

 

 

Black is used in the large-format stoneware tiles and in the tiles and classic cement tiles with black geometric motifs on a white background. Authentic parquet is very topical, especially with worked surfaces that emphasize the materiality of the covering.

Coatings, great visual effect

Cersaie 2022: wallpaper is one of the latest trends

Wallpaper thanks to new materials such as vinyl, fiberglass and non-woven fabric is finding more and more space in the bathroom. In fact, they are waterproof wallpapers capable of resisting humidity.

 

You can choose between wallpapers with geometric patterns or compositions inspired by nature and flowers. The most current colors range from shades of blue and green but for those who want to be daring there is fuchsia.

Wallpaper, is waterproof the future?

Colors

The colors of the walls will no longer be the undisputed domain of white because the trend is to use colorful and cheerful colors.

Cersaie 2022: conclusions on the latest trends

A stately type of bathroom is establishing itself. An elegant but well-organized environment where wellness is increasingly central and customizations assume priority importance.
