The limits of the walk-in shower <\/strong> <\/h2>\n
\nThe main concern for those who have to make a shower without a door is the possibility of water leaking from the cabin while washing. The problem can be solved if we can apply two simple precautions: with the creation of a glass wall of the correct size, capable of blocking water drops and making sure to position the showerhead in the farthest point from the opening of our walk-in. <\/p>\n
\nA very common situation is the presence of a window in the shower area. The problem in this case can arise with the fixing of the support bar, which is normally fixed perpendicular to the glass. In this situation it is necessary to use variable angle support bars. However, the contraindications are of 2 types:<\/p>\n\n
\nAnother aspect concerns the placement of the walk-in in the attic, in bathrooms with a sloping roof, or in conjunction with walls. The classic solutions involve the use, in addition to the support bar, which varies according to the angle required, of 2 other possible tools: the vertical bar and the clamp. Not always ideal solutions, as they require great precision to be assembled.<\/p>\n
\nThe great scenic nature of a walk-in shower enclosure can be interrupted by a support bar, a presence not always welcome, capable of stealing the show from the large glass wall.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”row-prodotto-ambiente” el_id=”paragrafo-5″][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”14510″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”http:%2F%2Frelaxsrl.com%2Fprodotti%2Fcollezioni%2Foblique%2F|”][vc_column_text el_class=”prodotto-ambiente-didascalia”]Discover the Oblique collection<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text el_class=”prodotto-ambiente-text”]<\/p>\n Relax revolutionizes the walk-in with two patents <\/h2>\n
\nThe Oblique shelf has the important objective of giving stability to the glass wall, making the support arm obsolete. The result is an innovative product, which gives unparalleled aesthetic cleanliness.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”row-prodotto-ambiente”][vc_column width=”4\/12″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text el_class=”prodotto-ambiente-text”]Without the support bar, critical situations are resolved definitively. Even in the presence of a high ceiling or plasterboard, the Oblique shelf, fixed to the wall, makes the glass fixed and stable.<\/p>\n\n
\nThe Bobox project aims to combine design, technology and innovation, covered by an ornamental patent. But what makes Bobox a unique product of its kind?
\nRelax’s aesthetic and technological research has successfully faced the challenge of bending 8mm glass to create a shower enclosure with a refined design. From an aesthetic point of view, the sinuous curves of the glass are unique and refined, while functionally, they allow the walk-in to limit the escape of water.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”row-prodotto-ambiente”][vc_column width=”4\/12″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text el_class=”prodotto-ambiente-text”]Starting from a walk-in wall, Bobox can be updated by adding various elements to evolve into a corner shower cubicle with door. The variety of sizes and finishes provided by Bobox give life to many solutions of use. It can also be used outdoors, perhaps by the pool, or as a partition between one shower and another in a fitness center. Bobox’s curved glass can therefore satisfy many design needs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”7\/12″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”14466″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”http:%2F%2Frelaxsrl.com%2Fprodotto%2Fbobox-a-bobox-ab%2F|”][vc_column_text el_class=”prodotto-ambiente-didascalia”]See Bobox A + AB<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”row-prodotto-ambiente” el_id=”paragrafo-6″][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”14558″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”http:%2F%2Frelaxsrl.com%2Fprodotto%2Fwall-f%2F|”][vc_column_text el_class=”prodotto-ambiente-didascalia”]See Wall F + Popeye<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text el_class=”prodotto-ambiente-text”]<\/p>\n Relax innovations for walk-in <\/h2>\n
