Axia transparent shower enclosure

The presence of visible mechanical elements designates the Axia collection as the transparent shower enclosure. Let’s discover its secrets 👇🏻

Axia, the different sliding shower enclosure

Axia is the collection of transparent shower enclosures, with sliding door, which stands out for its refinement. The aesthetic research behind the Axia family is based on the mechanical functioning of the upper sliding system. The intrinsic beauty of the sliding of the bearings, the delicacy with which the door closes and the ease of sliding of the same are an integral part of a tested product, which, in all its beauty, shows itself and stands out in the transparency of the glass .

Sliding system: the beauty of transparency

The transparent shower enclosure consists of only two elements: glass and aluminium. Few and essential materials that contribute to the functioning of a shower cubicle which, in its simplicity, proves to be solid, elegant and certified by one of the most authoritative bodies ever: TÜV SÜD. The precision and detail of the rolling of the two visible bearings of the sliding door accompany the eyes and the door itself towards the end stop on the fixed glass. For the transparent shower cubicle, revealing yourself and letting yourself be admired in all the colors that make it up: as many as 5 for the aluminum and as many for the glass, is essential, allowing you to create unique and irresistible combinations.

The elegance and safety of the soft-close

Axia integrates (as an option) among the possible solutions, also a slow closing system of the door when closing. A feast for the eyes and for the safety of those who are about to close the door. The system used for this particular type of closure acts in complete autonomy as we open and close the sliding door. Thus preventing unpleasant breakage of the glass in case of accidental closure or with particular force. The beauty of Axia, which plays on the transparency of the glass to show its mechanical nature, is also found in the soft-close system. The latter is thus revealed without particular covers, allowing us to admire its functioning.

The mechanicalness of the industrial style

The Axia collection stands out for its complete vision of the functioning of a sliding shower enclosure. The presence of bearings and aluminum bars, clearly visible, is what differentiates Axia from any other kind of shower enclosure. Both elements animate the transparency of the glass and color it. These elements, combined, customizable in the color of the shower enclosure, allow you to obtain a unique transparent shower enclosure.

 

The industrial style involves the choice of a few essential pieces, showing their secrets and the solutions that make them up. The industrial-style shower enclosures are united by clean geometries, which highlight the structural and non-structural elements. Very linear and precise in their shapes, they rise without hiding anything, with the beauty of the material element that embellishes the content. The industrial style therefore loudly recalls the presence of objects which, like a transparent shower enclosure, are made up of physical and mechanical elements. The latter, directly visible, enhance the beauty of the technical components and internal movements.

Best 80×120 shower enclosures: which ones to choose?

Best 80×120 shower enclosures: which ones to choose?

Uncategorized Page 3
Corner shower enclosure 80x120 with hinged door

It is one of the most requested shower enclosures: the 80×120 shower enclosure. But, what makes it so sought after? The possibility of inserting it in different bathroom contexts makes it the ideal corner shower cubicle. With its comfortable and at the same time contained dimensions, it proves to be a precious ally from which to start building your dream bathroom. Find out more 👇🏻

80×120 shower enclosure: how to position it in the bathroom?

Inside the bathroom, the 80×120 shower enclosure is at ease in the corner, where it can express all its potential. In fact, an 80×120 shower cubicle often finds its natural place in bathrooms that develop in length, where the longitudinality of the glass marks the shapes of the shower cubicle.

 

An 80×120 shower enclosure lends itself to various solutions, the most popular is undoubtedly the replacement of the bathtub with the insertion of a shower enclosure (which we also talked about here). The possibility of exploiting the large spaces of a bathtub to insert a different and equally comfortable solution is a tempting opportunity for an 80×120 shower enclosure. Thus, the length of the bathtub should be fully exploited. The leftover space can therefore become a home for other elements, such as a piece of furniture, a washing machine or a dryer (or both!).

 

Relax has provided various solutions, to allow you to take advantage of these unique spaces, enhancing even these forgotten surfaces in practicality and everyday life.

80×120 shower enclosure: the recommended openings

What are the ideal openings for an 80×120 cm shower enclosure? The solutions are different, suitable for one or more particular situations that require them.

 

An 80×120 cm shower cubicle can be inserted without problems in a small/medium sized bathroom. The typical asymmetrical nature of this model broadens its range of action: comfortable, both with the entrance on the short side and on the longer side, leaving considerable freedom of movement inside.

 

The openings that we have selected, among the preferable ones for a bathroom with a shower cubicle of this size, are:

 

  • Sliding door: takes full advantage of the longer side and therefore allows an easy and safe entrance.
  • Pivoting door: effective door if there are obstructions on the wall.
  • Hinged door: classic and timeless, suitable for more “airy” spaces.
  • Walk-in: simple and refined, for those who love the freedom of a shower without the door.

 

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

Sliding door, Axia SF+F

Axia SF+F is an integral part of the Axia collection, a series of shower enclosures and bathtub screens that stand out for the transparency of the glass. Axia SF+F is particularly characterized by a distinctly industrial style, which enhances the internal mechanisms that move the sliding door. In the 80×120 cm dimensions, the possibility of sliding the door on a track considerably reduces the overall dimensions.

Pivoting door, Kubik PA+F

The shower enclosures of the Kubik collection stand out for their unparalleled minimalism. With a support bar integrated in the upper profile and the characteristic pivoting door, with inward and outward opening, the Kubik collection becomes practical and elegant. Kubik PA+F is distinguished by a double fixed side, which allows wall or furnishing elements to be installed, even on the side of the door.

Hinged door, Light PA+F3

Light PA+F3 is a corner shower enclosure with hinged door. The Light collection is immediately recognizable due to the lack of the structural frame, an element which, if missing, visually lightens our shower enclosure. The hinged door thus proves to be a precious ally for the 80×120 cm shower cubicle, managing to exploit all the space available, with remarkable internal comfort.

Walk-in, Wall A

The walk-in shower enclosure is, for simplicity of installation and practicality of use, one of the preferred solutions for a minimal and functional bathroom. Wall A is always supplied with a support bar matching the profiles, an elegant way of combining the different components of the shower enclosure. The Wall collection stands out for its minimalism and ease of use, from walk-in shower enclosures to those with matching door.

80×120 shower enclosure: conclusions

Thanks to the various solutions offered, an 80×120 shower enclosure covers a wide range of needs. The large spaces that an 80×120 cm shower enclosure can provide are the result of research and design, with the result obtained of containing the overall dimensions to the maximum, to enjoy a comfortable shower enclosure.

Light S1 is a new entry in the Light collection. The versatile shower enclosure was born where glass transparency and practicality meet; giving life to simple solutions to live and beautiful to leave you breathless. Find out more👇🏻

Light: the lightness of light

The Light collection stands out not only for the variety of openings and therefore for applications, but above all for the infinite possibilities that a versatile shower enclosure without profiles can give. A collection of shower enclosures that emphasizes the transparency of the glass becomes the co-protagonist of the bathroom. All this, allowing us to indulge ourselves, using ceramics and wall decorations worthy of an art museum. Among the enormous advantages of a shower enclosure without profiles there is undoubtedly the sense of airiness and breadth of the surfaces that pervades the room. With plays of light and transparency, Light is the collection of shower enclosures that makes light its best ally, to give even a small size bathroom a whole new dimension.

Versatile shower enclosure: folding door as the ideal solution

The real strength of a particular collection like Light is that it is a versatile shower enclosure from all points of view. Based on the need in terms of space, Light can be the ideal product for any type of bathroom, with always different openings. In particular, the shower with folding door offers comfortable entry and exit space. Thanks to the possibility of folding back on itself, the folding door allows easy entry and exit from the shower enclosure, especially for small niches. Light S1, however, it turns out to be one of the most popular products because it does not have an upper track (typical of folding doors), this implies greater freedom of movement and easier cleaning than the folding doors on a track (as in the example below). All Relax folding doors are tested by the European TÜV SÜD.

Versatile shower enclosure: depth of monochromatic finishes

The bathroom, as a functional room, has stood out over the years for its bold combinations of materials and colours. An opportunity that planners and designers have not let slip. With 4 different aluminum finishes,Light S1 it becomes a versatile shower enclosure also in terms of color and explores all the possibilities that a monochromatic palette can give. With simple but never trivial combinations, the different finishes are a considerable help to those who are preparing to design the bathroom in all its variants. Among the concrete advantages of having such a deep chromatic range in shades of gray, there is the possibility of always having punctual combinations with respect to the taps that decorate the rest of the room.

How to cut a shower tray: complete guide

How to cut a shower tray: complete guide

Uncategorized Page 3
Cutting shower tray with circular saw

Today, cutting a shower tray is a common and affordable solution for everyone. The cuttable shower trays offer a quick and easy solution to make the most of the available spaces in your bathroom. Composed mostly of mineral resins, they are resistant throughout their life and completely restorable in the event of small accidents during the cutting phase.

Cutting a shower tray: why?

Today, the cuttable shower trays represent a mix of practicality, beauty and design that are inextricably linked with the bathroom furnishings, creating a comfortable space. The choice of objects for the bathroom must be oriented towards functionality, without neglecting aesthetics and design. If you are looking for a custom-sized shower enclosure, then the cuttable shower tray is the ideal choice. This type of shower tray is completely customizable in terms of size and shape, ensuring perfect adaptation to your needs.

 

In fact, not all shower trays can be considered standard in size, sometimes they require customization due to obstacles such as pillars or particular recesses in the bathroom that prevent the installation of a shower tray of common dimensions. In some cases, there may be the need to use corners with an unconventional radius, while in other cases particular cuts may be required. A cuttable shower tray offers different range of solutions, which manage to meet even the most specific needs.

 

The Relax shower trays are not only extremely easy to transport and handling thanks to their lightness. They are, in fact, unloaded for greater flexibility and reinforced with ribs which significantly increase their resistance. They are also distinguished by the possibility of being cut directly on site and by the precious certification TÜV SÜD which affirms their material qualities.

What tools to use?

There are two different ways to go: you can rely on a professional worker who will certainly be able to cut the shower tray with precision and skill, or opt for a “do-it-yourself” solution that we recommend only to those who are familiar with the tools to use. If you are into the second case, we advise you to continue reading ↓

 

After this brief introduction, here are the tools you will need:

 

  • A card, with pencil and a ruler
  • Protective glasses to protect you from splinters and any dust
  • Work gloves that will give you a firmer grip on tools
  • A mask, to avoid inhaling the resins during the cutting phase
  • A circular saw with a 3mm blade
  • A workbench or stable support
  • A spray bottle full of water to wet the disc and lower its temperature

Cutting a shower tray: how to proceed

Once you’ve made sure you have everything you need, let’s proceed with cutting the actual shower tray. Follow the steps:

 

 

1. Carefully take the measurements of the space in which you will have to insert the shower tray. Make sure they are accurate for best results.

 

2. Draw on the cardboard the shape of your shower tray and the exact one of the cut to make. Pencil and ruler must be as precise as possible to avoid unpleasant surprises once the intervention has been carried out.

 

3. Now comes the most delicate phase of the whole process: the cut. The circular saw must follow the entire outer edge of the pencil marks and never stop (the risk is that of creating smudges or imperfections having to start again). Go slowly and use water to cool the disc, which may otherwise overheat. Help yourself by leaning beforehand on a workbench or equivalent for maximum stability.

 

4. Once the shower tray has been cut, make sure you insert it against the wall so that the cut parts are not visible. The latter will not be finished like the rest of the shower tray and can remain facing directly to the wall.

Conclusions

Shower trays in mineral resins, in addition to being appreciated for their resistance, softness and hygienic properties by the owners, are also appreciated by architects and installers, because, with the simple possibility of cutting on site, they demonstrate unparalleled flexibility in the world of the bathroom.

Shower enclosure in tiny spaces? Find how!

Shower enclosure in tiny spaces? Find how!

Uncategorized Page 3
Shower enclosure in confined spaces isometric view

Is it possible to fit a walk-in shower in a bathroom with limited space? Yes! But what are the most suitable openings for this type of bathroom? You will find that there are many solutions.

Small bathroom, what to do?

The size of the bathroom is fundamental in choosing the shower enclosure. And if the characteristics of our bathroom are enough to compromise the entry spaces (and exit) from the shower enclosure, how to proceed then? First of all we try to optimize the spaces surrounding our shower enclosure, perhaps by mounting furniture directly to the wall that does not lean on the floor or by using neutral colors (we also talked about it here). The choice of the shower enclosure is therefore fundamental in a confined space, but the most bulky element, if well thought out, will be able to positively re-evaluate all the surrounding spaces.

What are the best shower enclosures for a tiny bathroom?

Space-saving shower enclosures: discover them!

In a small bathroom, the difference is often made by the openings in the shower cubicle. So are there any restrictions on using certain shower enclosures? No. There are openings recommended for every situation and all certified TÜV SÜD (which guarantees their reliability over time) but the final decision always rests with those who use the bathroom environment. You will see how, with the same spaces occupied, certain openings will be much easier to manage than others.

Saloon doors

A shower enclosure, whether in a niche or in a corner, allows the introduction of folding doors, essential for maintaining the largest possible spaces for entry and exit. Saloon doors, so called due to the characteristic opening and closing (inwards and outwards) as in the most famous cowboy films, prove to be one of the most effective solutions for bathrooms with small dimensions.

 

One of the peculiarities of the Relax saloon doors is that they can be locked in position, always closing them perfectly. For more information on the most comfortable saloon door models for your bathroom, please refer to our dedicated page: https://relaxsrl.com/en/selection-guide/shower-enclosure-with-saloon-door/.

Folding doors

Shower enclosures with folding doors are among the most suitable for a small bathroom. The reason? The folding door (which can also be paired if necessary) closes completely on itself, giving the person occupying the bathroom full control of the surrounding spaces. This solution is one of the most popular for these reasons when choosing the shower enclosure.

 

Relax also offers solutions for its folding doors that are as functional as they are simple: the folding doors of the Lyra collection are designed in such a way as to slide entirely on a track hidden inside the upper profile, allowing the door to always remain in position. On the contrary, the folding doors of Light S1 are designed to make the door free to open in both directions: a choice that is not only aesthetic, but also, and above all, one of safety and cleanability.

Sliding doors

Shower enclosures with sliding doors are among the most “space-saving” ever! The peculiarity of sliding doors is precisely that they “slide” on a track placed on the frame, usually in the upper part. What happens? The sliding door will overlap the fixed one, allowing space for entry and exit easily.

 

Of all the solutions proposed, the sliding door succeeds better than any other in integrating itself into a small bathroom, whether in a corner or in a niche.

Shower enclosure in confined spaces: conclusions

It is important to choose a shower enclosure that can be adapted to the millimeter to ensure maximum use of the available space, especially in those confined spaces where each element is painstakingly designed and positioned. Furthermore, it is important to evaluate the solutions and possibilities offered by the many types of shower enclosures, which imply different ease of use and maintenance for each one. If the space in the bathroom is limited, it is therefore important to choose a shower cubicle that is easy to use and does not exclude space for other elements.

Cold or hot shower? All the benefits

Cold or hot shower? All the benefits

Uncategorized Page 3

Choosing between a hot or cold shower depends on personal preferences and the needs of the moment. Overall, there are some benefits associated with using both water temperatures. Let’s see them together.

Cold shower: when is it recommended?

A low-temperature shower has the power to revitalize the body, strengthen the immune system and even promote weight loss. This practice is very popular among athletes and all sports in general. When you are exposed to the cold, the body is activated to start various processes such as energy production, digestion, fat burning and muscle activity.

 

For example, when we are outdoors and the temperature is very cold, our body starts shivering slightly and then shivers more frequently to keep our body heat high and protect our internal organs from the cold. Can we exploit this peculiarity of our body to benefit from it? Yes! Exploiting the same principle in a more controlled way can be done, for example with a cold shower or an ice bath, based on everyone’s resistance.

 

However, it is important to always pay attention to the temperature of the water that will accompany us during our shower and the duration of the shower itself, since excessive exposure can have the opposite effect on our body, such as muscle contractions and even hypothermia.

 

There are different times of the day when you can take a cold shower to get the maximum benefits. A cold shower in the morning can be an excellent solution to wake up and regenerate, while a cold shower after physical activity can help reduce muscle inflammation and promote recovery. In any case, it is important to follow your own needs and preferences, remembering however not to overdo it.

The benefits of a cold shower

Beneficial for the skin and for our body in general, cold showers are a common solution to many ills. Although they are not particularly loved, many sportsmen and women use them for the various benefits they bring. Let’s find out together:

 

  • Relieves pain. This is because cold temperatures increase blood flow to the affected area, reducing swelling and inflammation more quickly. In addition, cold can decrease the speed of transmission of nerve signals to the brain, causing a lower perception of pain. It is for this reason that the application of ice is often recommended as first aid in case of injuries.

 

  • Blood circulation. Contact with cold water can sometimes increase blood pressure and improve tissue oxygenation.

 

  • Toning effect on muscles and skin. When the body comes into contact with cold water, the epidermis contracts, closing the pores and preventing the entry of impurities. The skin therefore appears more compact and toned.

 

  • Calorie consumption. In fact, it is known that our body, subjected to certain temperatures, tends to burn energy to create heat. The functioning of this mechanism can be found in the lipids, fats that make up brown adipose tissue, which are burned and “sacrificed” for this purpose.

 

  • A powerful stress reliever. Did you know that a cold shower has the natural ability to improve mood? Well yes, thanks to the stimulation of noradrenaline hormones which help to feel stronger at a mental level, mood and consequently stress can also improve significantly.

 

  • Muscle regeneration. One of the most widespread practices among sportsmen is to undergo short (but intense!) cryotherapy sessions at the end of the sporting activity. This is because cold therapy considerably helps the stimulation and regeneration of the muscles.

Thermal shock can bring many benefits!

Hot shower: when is it recommended?

The hot shower has always relaxed body and mind, in a combination of sensations that are favored by most to the sharper ones of a cold shower. In general, a hot shower can be relaxing and enjoyable after a stressful day or during cold weather. It is also useful in the case of muscle tension or joint pain. However, there are some situations to keep an eye out for in which using water that is too hot could be problematic.

 

For example, if you suffer from allergies or skin problems, a hot shower could cause dryness and irritation of the skin itself, a condition that could worsen if you stay in high temperatures for a long time, leading to burns. Another case study is that of hypertension or cardiovascular problems, prolonged exposure to hot water could raise blood pressure and cause other health problems.

 

In any case, the hot shower turns out to be a cure-all.

A hot shower is (almost) always ideal.

The benefits of a hot shower

Taking a hot shower is a very common practice for relaxing the body and mind. Various populations over the centuries have indicated the hot shower as one of the best methods for taking care of one’s body. It is no coincidence that the high temperature of the water has beneficial effects on muscles and blood circulation, promoting relaxation and distension. Here are the main benefits of a hot shower:

  • Relieves pain and relaxes muscles. A warm water shower can help reduce muscle tension, causing inflamed muscles to relax. The resulting benefits are various: from the reduction of pain in the case of muscle or joint injuries, to the progressive reduction of accumulated stress. Seeing is believing!

 

  • Makes you more beautiful. Hot water when you take a shower favors the gradual cleansing of the skin pores, helping to eliminate the impurities present, including sebum and superficial dirt. Furthermore, the pores dilated by the heat also act on surface dirt or excess sebum, favoring cleaning and the elimination of impurities. Furthermore, if relaxed and open, they appear to be prepared to more effectively absorb the creams that are part of your daily routine.
  • Helps sleep. For those who have trouble falling asleep or relaxing at night, taking a hot shower can help de-stress from the day. However, it is important to choose the right time to take a hot shower in order to effectively improve sleep. In fact, hot showers stimulate the nervous system which leads to the feeling of tiredness. To promote quality sleep, it is not recommended to take a hot shower immediately before going to bed or too early. Taking a hot shower in one of these two moments could interrupt the natural cycle to which our body is used, which is made up of two distinct phases: a first one, in which the body temperature remains stable and there is an accumulation of heat which it lasts all day, and a second one in which the accumulated heat is slowly dispersed before going to bed. Several studies have indicated 60/90 minutes as the ideal time to take a hot shower before sleeping.

 

  • A panacea for health. A hot shower among the many benefits brings, also has the particularity of being a real panacea for the health of the respiratory tract. It can bring concrete relief in case of seasonal colds or respiratory tract infections in general. As well as the steam emanating from a prolonged hot shower which has always been a natural remedy for seasonal ailments, helping to decongest the nose and throat.

Did you know any of these benefits?

Conclusions

In general, choosing between a hot or cold shower depends on personal preferences and the needs of the moment. However, if you suffer from circulation problems or want to improve skin tone, a cold shower may be a better choice. If, on the other hand, you are looking for relaxation and stress reduction, a hot shower may be more suitable. And which one do you prefer?
