Cersaie 2026 highlights: new ways to explore design with Krion

Cersaie 2026 was the venue chosen to showcase Krion's offerings, featured at the Porcelanosa Group booth. This year, the exhibition space was conceived as a living magazine: an editorial concept that brought the pages of *The Edit. 1st Issue. New Collection: Autumn 2026* to life in the physical... space. The settings were first created on paper and then brought to life at the booth, transforming trends, materials, colors, and textures into settings that visitors could experience. Within this universe, Krion explored new possibilities through its surfaces and solutions for the bathroom, where color, depth, material, and design took center stage. Emerald Green: a new Krion® LUX model inspired by fine jewelry Emerald Green was one of the new Krion® LUX products unveiled at Cersaie 2026, a design that combines the technical innovation of solid surfaces with a sophisticated aesthetic inspired by the richness of natural materials. Emerald Green - Krion® LUX Its design features a deep anthracite-gray base with subtle greenish hues, enriched by a fine texture of mineral particles that lends depth, dynamism, and a striking visual presence to the surface. A mottled, mineral finish that plays with light to create compositions full of character. Designed for high-end architectural and interior design projects, Emerald Green transforms the surface into a standout element. Its dark, contemporary aesthetic is particularly striking on countertops, wall cladding, furniture, bathrooms, and custom design elements, blending naturally with wood, metals, and neutral-toned materials. In addition, this new color incorporates Ecocycle® and Recycled Content, two technologies that allow recycled material from various sources to be integrated into its composition. The first of these recycles scraps generated during the manufacturing of the Krion® LUX slabs themselves, transforming them into reusable material for new designs, with recycled content reaching up to 40%. In addition, Recycled Content incorporates a minimum of 5% recycled material from post-consumer waste. Verde Guatemala: an atmospheric aesthetic in shades of green Verde Guatemala was another of the new models in the Krion® LUX Luxury series presented at Cersaie 2026, a collection inspired by the beauty and richness of nature. This new design incorporates Recycled Content technology and, drawing inspiration from the renowned Nebula collection, explores a palette of deep greens through a sophisticated, organic aesthetic rich in nuances. Guatemala Green - Krion® LUX Its surface is crisscrossed by subtle veins and soft, blended patterns that add depth and character without sacrificing elegance. The different shades seem to flow within the piece, creating an immersive visual effect reminiscent of the density of a mist-covered forest or the shifting reflections of the Northern Lights. The result is a dark green—rich in contrast and with a striking visual presence—capable of connecting spaces with nature from a contemporary perspective. A surface where color, fluidity, and movement combine to create continuous, elegant, and timeless compositions. Atacama: warm minimalism inspired by mineral landscapes Atacama was another of the new models in the Krion® Luxury series LUX series presented at the trade show, and marks the beginning of a new design line inspired by the vastness of the white deserts and some of the purest mineral landscapes on the planet. Atacama - Krion® LUX Luxury Series With the Ecocycle® and Recycled Content technologies incorporated into its composition, Atacama features a sophisticated base in sand and beige tones, enriched with a very fine grain, stone-like particles, and subtle color transitions that evoke the surface of a wind-sculpted dune. This natural inspiration translates into a warm, minimalist aesthetic, designed to create bright, serene, and welcoming spaces where the richness of the material coexists with timeless sophistication. Eclipse: new terracotta and anthracite shades for the bathroom Eclipse expanded its design universe at Cersaie 2026 with new additions that reinforce the contemporary and artisanal character of this bathroom collection crafted from Krion® Solid. A collection designed to transform the bathroom into a space of well-being, balance, and aesthetic expression, where material and design come together to create unique pieces. Eclipse - Terracotta The collection retains its essence through organic shapes and soft lines, incorporating the new Terracotta and Anthracite finishes, two shades that add greater depth, personality, and visual richness to the collection. These new options expand the creative possibilities, allowing the collection to be adapted to spaces with different styles and atmospheres. Along with these new finishes, Eclipse introduces the Breeze Oak wood finish for the cabinet, a design that adds warmth and contrast, balancing the mineral purity of Krion® Solid with the natural beauty of wood. The collection is rounded out by three new mirrors with integrated perimeter lighting, designed to bring functionality and versatility to the bathroom space: a 120 x 40 cm wall-mounted model, a 220 x 40 cm floor-standing mirror, and a 150 x 40 cm model mounted between the floor and ceiling. These elements expand the design possibilities of Eclipse and reinforce its vision of the bathroom as a space for design and well-being. Core shower enclosure: visual purity and maximum customization As part of our range of bathroom solutions, Cersaie also served as the venue for the presentation of the new Core shower enclosure, a design that expands the possibilities of bathroom design, where visual purity, technology, and customization come together to create more open, bright, and balanced spaces. Core Krion Partition Its clean design eliminates the vertical aluminum profile to let the glass take center stage, creating a greater sense of spaciousness, continuity, and visual lightness. A solution designed for those seeking a bathroom with a minimalist aesthetic, where each element contributes to the overall harmony. Manufactured with tempered safety glass that is 6 mm thick and featuring the SystemGlass treatment as standard, Core offers a surface that is easier to maintain thanks to its protective layer that repels water and prevents the buildup of limescale and dirt. Its hinges with -90°, 0°, and 90° opening angles, along with the magnetic closures, ensure a comfortable, smooth, and precise user experience while maintaining optimal watertightness. Every detail of the shower enclosure follows a coherent design language. The compact clamps, aligned hinges, and knob share the same rectangular aesthetic with rounded edges, creating a balanced whole where the hardware blends naturally into the space. In addition, Core offers a wide range of customization options, with 8 finishes for the hardware— Chrome, Matte Black, Copper, Gold, Titanium, White, Brushed Brass, and Stainless Steel—and 12 glass options, ranging from clear versions to screen-printed, matte, gray, bronze, Black Mirror, or Gliss finishes. Its custom manufacturing and multiple configurations allow it to be adapted to both shower and bathtub spaces, even in projects with special requirements. Arrow: minimalist design and continuity in the bathroom space Among Krion®’s bathroom solutions, the new Arrow collection features a design based on simplicity of form and visual continuity. A countertop with an integrated sink made of Krion® Shell, designed to create modern, functional, and durable bathroom spaces in both residential and hotel projects. Available in glossy and matte white finishes, the collection offers the option of choosing between countertops with or without an integrated towel rack, adapting to different design needs. Its freestanding design allows for direct installation on the wall, while the large-format skirting and integrated overflow create a uniform and polished look. The series is complemented by wall-mounted cabinets in a white lacquered finish with a soft-close system, as well as shelves available in white and Dune finishes, expanding the possibilities for space configuration.

Franchise design: how to reflect your branding in interior design with Krion® Lux

The interior design of a franchise is much more than just a matter of aesthetics; it is the physical representation of your brand identity. Every element within the space, from colors to materials, must be aligned with the company's values and vision, creating an atmosphere that not only attracts... customers but also makes them feel connected to your brand. In a competitive market, franchise design has become a strategic tool for strengthening brand recognition, building customer loyalty, and ensuring successful expansion. Interior design is the canvas on which your brand comes to life, and it is crucial that each space reflects its essence in a consistent and memorable way. What will you discover in this article about franchise design? How a well-thought-out design can impact the customer experience and strengthen brand identity. Discover the colors and materials that will make a difference in the coming years and how minimalism and sustainability are dominating interior design. How to adapt the design to your brand's visual identity and how Krion® Lux facilitates that customization. Tips on how to make your franchise stand out and differentiate your design from the competition. Why is interior design key to the success of a franchise? Interior design is much more than just decorating spaces. It is the meeting point between the brand and the customer, a means of conveying values, emotions, and the essence of what a franchise represents. From the moment a customer enters the space, the interior environment begins to tell a story, which, if well designed, will captivate and create an immediate connection with the brand. This initial impact is crucial to gaining customer loyalty and fostering an experience that they will want to repeat. Interior design in franchises: creating unique experiences In the world of franchising, where competition is fierce, the key to standing out lies in the unique experience offered to the customer. Interior design plays a fundamental role in creating this immersive environment. Beyond a simple functional space, it must be a place where customers feel immersed in an atmosphere that reflects everything the brand represents. Every corner, every detail, must be designed to captivate and surprise, creating a journey that makes the customer feel part of something bigger. An interior design that excites will not only attract customers, but will invite them to stay longer, return, and, most importantly, share their experience with others. Branding in franchises: the importance of interior visual identity A brand's visual identity does not end with the logo or product colors. It must go much further and be reflected in every physical space that represents the franchise. When a franchise's branding is well integrated into its interior design, a deeper connection is achieved with customers, who not only recognize the brand through its products or services, but also through the environment in which they interact with it. How unified design enhances your franchise's recognition Uniformity in a franchise's interior design is also an aesthetic and strategic issue. When each location follows a consistent design, customers can instantly recognize the brand, regardless of its location. This consistency reinforces franchise recognition, creating a sense of familiarity and trust, which is key to fostering loyalty and ensuring success at each new point of sale. This type of cohesive design also facilitates expansion, as it provides a solid foundation on which to build new locations without losing the essence of the brand. Franchise design trends that will have an impact in the coming years Franchise design, like any other field of design, is constantly evolving. Current trends reflect a shift towards a more conscious and functional approach, where customer experience and sustainability play key roles. In the coming years, we will see how franchise interior design transforms to adapt to new demands, always seeking a balance between aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. Sustainable interior design in franchises: the trend that makes a difference Sustainability is not just a passing trend, but a necessity that more and more brands are adopting as a fundamental part of their identity. Consumers are looking for brands that demonstrate a real commitment to the environment, and this is directly reflected in the choice of materials and design practices in franchise spaces. Opting for sustainable materials and solutions that minimize environmental impact not only improves the brand's image but also responds to growing demand from customers who are conscious of their ecological footprint. In this context, biophilic design has emerged as a key trend. This approach seeks to integrate nature into interior spaces, creating environments that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also promote customer well-being. By incorporating natural elements, such as plants and organic materials, franchises can offer a space that connects people with nature, enhancing their experience and providing a healthier and more relaxing environment. Minimalism and functional design in modern franchises We live in an era where excessive visual stimuli can be overwhelming, and interior space plays a crucial role in how customers interact with a brand. Minimalism seeks simplicity, but with a deeper purpose. Instead of filling the space with unnecessary objects, only the essential elements that allow the brand to express itself clearly are carefully selected. This creates an environment where every corner has a purpose and facilitates the customer experience, giving them visual and emotional respite. Elements should be as aesthetically pleasing as they are useful. Clean walls, simple furniture, and materials such as Krion® Lux, along with a wide color palette, allow the space to breathe and the customer's attention to focus on what really matters: the experience. Elements such as floating shelves, soft lighting, and surfaces without visible joints are perfect for achieving this style, creating a space that is not only visually harmonious but also perfectly functional for the customer and the flow of the franchise. Trending colors and materials for franchise interiors Warm colors, such as earth tones, terracotta, and sand, continue to set the trend in franchise interior design. These tones evoke feelings of comfort, connection with nature, and authenticity, creating welcoming spaces that invite customers to relax and feel at ease. In a world full of visual stimuli, warm colors allow for the creation of a calmer and more emotionally enriching atmosphere, fostering loyalty and connection to the brand. On the other hand, sustainable materials are gaining momentum as part of this concept of responsible interior design. That is why Krion® Lux, especially in the Ecocycle® models, is making a difference. This system allows for the creation of solid surfaces incorporating up to 40% pre-consumer material. The process begins with the collection of manufacturing surpluses, i.e., the leftover material from the production of Krion® Lux sheets. This waste is transformed into chips, which are then reintegrated into the production process. Conceptualization of branding in franchise design with Krion The interior design of a franchise must reflect the essence of the brand in a coherent and authentic way, adapting to the needs of each space and concept. Each environment has the potential to convey the values of the franchise, creating an authentic connection with customers. Customization of interior design with Krion® Lux solid surface The customization process goes beyond simply choosing colors; it is about creating an environment that speaks to the brand in every corner. Each franchise has its own visual identity, and the interior design must be an extension of this, conveying the brand's values, philosophy, and style through every detail of the space. Krion® Lux, with its wide range of colors, offers the possibility of adapting each surface to the specific needs of the brand. Thanks to its ability to create continuous and customized surfaces, it allows each franchise to communicate its essence, achieving a unique aesthetic that reflects the personality of the brand in every corner of the space. How to make your franchise design stand out from a sea of options In a world full of options and competitors, your franchise design must be unique and recognizable, authentically reflecting the essence of your brand. To achieve this, it is essential to deeply understand the brand's values and personality and translate those elements into every corner of the space. Here are some key points to ensure your design is unique and memorable: Know your brand inside and out: Before you start designing, it's crucial to thoroughly understand what your franchise represents. What values do you want to convey? What is the story behind your brand? By understanding these details, you can create a design that is not only aesthetically appealing but also tells a story that resonates with customers. Consistency is key to making your franchise truly unique. That's why the design must be consistent across all locations. This doesn't mean that every store or space has to be identical, but it does need to maintain a common core that is immediately recognizable. Using the same colors, materials, and key design elements across all locations ensures a consistent experience that builds trust and familiarity with customers. The magic is in the small details that make a design unique. Custom elements such as bespoke furniture or unique decorative details can completely transform the perception of a space. Play with lighting to create atmospheres. With the right light, you can completely transform the perception of a space. Use warm, soft lighting to create a cozy atmosphere in cafes and restaurants, or brighter lighting for high-end spaces, for example. How Krion simplifies the franchise expansion process Expanding a franchise consistently and effectively requires not only maintaining a unified design, but also ensuring that each new space reflects the brand's values without compromising aesthetic and functional quality. Thanks to Krion®'s A&D consulting service, architects and designers have access to a specialized technical team that provides advice and support from the start of the project. This service includes the preparation of plans, technical studies, load simulations, and the creation of 3D prototypes, ensuring that each project meets aesthetic, functional, and economic requirements. In addition, Krion®'s A&D team offers training and support in the implementation of projects in BIM (Building Information Modeling) software, providing access to customized libraries in formats such as Revit and ArchiCAD, allowing Krion® products to be integrated smoothly and efficiently in the early stages of design. With this comprehensive support, Krion simplifies franchise expansion by ensuring that each new location is easy to replicate without losing the brand's visual identity, while maintaining quality and sustainability standards in all its applications.

Trend colors for decoration in 2026: innovation and style with Krion® LUX

The world of decoration is constantly evolving, and the sociological and cultural changes we are experiencing are profoundly influencing design trends for 2026. As consumers become more aware of the environmental, social, and economic issues affecting the world, they are looking for solutions that... are not only aesthetically appealing, but also responsible and sustainable. This shift towards greater responsibility, both on a personal and collective level, is directly reflected in the color choices for the coming years. Consumers in 2026 will be more future-focused, demanding that brands and products align with values of sustainability and change. In this context, according to the consulting firm WGSN: "2026 will be the year of redirection, where old ideas will be questioned and consumers will demand urgent change in the way we treat our societies, organize our industries, and cooperate with our environment." This call for collective action will have a direct impact on color preferences, as consumers will choose shades that reflect this mindset of transformation and resilience. In fact, according to data from the same consulting firm: "98% of consumers say that color influences their purchasing decisions." This data highlights the importance of how colors can play a crucial role in connecting emotionally with consumers, becoming an essential tool in building the identity of brands that promote sustainability and change. That is why the colors that will dominate the 2026 palette will not only evoke beauty, but also convey a message of change toward a more responsible world. What will you discover in this article about the colors that will be trending in 2026? Trending colors for 2026 Discover how to apply the trending colors to your projects The psychology of color by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe What will be the trending colors in decoration for 2026? In 2026, the color palette will be characterized by a fusion of warm, natural tones, such as terracotta and earth tones, which continue to gain prominence in interior design. These colors evoke a deep connection with nature, bringing warmth, stability, and a sense of well-being to spaces. On the other hand, we will see the emergence of more vibrant and intense colors, such as fuchsia and other shades that will bring dynamism and energy. According to WGSN: " These shades reflect an era of transformation and adaptation, contrasting with softer, more natural colors. This combination of warm and vibrant tones will form a rich and balanced palette that responds to the need for renewal and emotional connection, adapting to both calm spaces and those that seek to awaken intense and refreshing sensations." Warm and natural colors: the terracotta and earth palette that will dominate 2026 In 2026, warm, natural colors such as terracotta and earth tones will dominate interior design, reflecting a return to authenticity and nature. After years of sensory overload, these shades help to create welcoming and balanced spaces, promoting emotional well-being and offering refuge in an increasingly fast-paced world. This change also reflects the growing need to find peace in the genuine and simple, and responds to the desire to connect with the environment. This palette works exceptionally well in spaces such as bathrooms and kitchens, where its main advantage lies in its ability to harmonize with wood, brushed metals, stone, and natural textiles within an architectural setting characterized by clean lines. In this new collection, the earth tones break away from their rustic heritage to adopt a purely contemporary and architectural character; their use becomes more refined, applied to wall cladding, countertops, shower trays, and furniture to create an enveloping visual continuity. With Krion® LUX, this chromatic approach translates into surfaces that allow the material to complement the design without compromising on the highest technical performance. The visual warmth of these shades is enhanced by non-porous textures that are pleasant to the touch, designed for intense daily use. Thus, while the bathroom fosters an atmosphere of absolute relaxation, the kitchen offers balance and a sense of warmth, ensuring in both cases an aesthetic that ages gracefully—an indispensable quality in both residential projects and the hospitality sector. Intense and vibrant colors: the impact of fuchsia and other transformative shades in 2026 In contrast to warm tones, more vibrant and daring colors, such as the greenish blue Transformative Teal, the fluorescent pink Electric Fuchsia, the pastel grayish blue Blue Aura, the yellowish amber Amber Haze, and the mint green Jelly Mint, will dominate the trends of 2026. According to WGSN, these colors embody the spirit of transformation, driven by the urgency to address social and environmental challenges. Transformative Teal, in particular, reflects an eco-responsible mindset and a shift in perspective on the climate crisis, merging blue and green into a symbol of nature and sustainability. These colors are associated with creativity, resilience, and the need to adapt in an era marked by change, offering energy and dynamism to spaces that seek to empower and stimulate action in the face of contemporary challenges. How to apply trend colors in your decorative projects Applying the trend colors of 2026 in decorative projects involves understanding the needs of the space and the emotional impact that colors have on users. Colors not only define the aesthetics of a project, but are also key tools for creating functional environments that respond to the current values and desires of consumers. Tips for integrating trend colors into your decorating projects Applying the trend colors of 2026 to your decorating projects requires careful thought about how each space can benefit from these shades, creating environments that are both functional and attractive. Here are some practical tips for integrating them effectively: Walls: painting an accent wall is one of the easiest ways to incorporate vibrant colors into a space. You can paint a key wall to create a focal point that attracts attention without overwhelming the room. Meanwhile, the main walls can be kept in more neutral or soft tones to provide balance and create a harmonious background. This combination allows you to create interesting contrasts that are visually stimulating without losing overall coherence. Furniture: Furniture is essential for defining the style of a space. In commercial, hotel, and restaurant projects, you can apply vibrant colors to key pieces such as counters, work tables, chairs, or side tables. These pieces can become focal points that bring character and energy to spaces. To maintain balance, use more neutral or natural tones on other pieces of furniture, such as cabinets, shelves, or benches, creating a solid and welcoming base without colors clashing with each other. Accessories: Accessories offer unique flexibility for incorporating color without compromising the functionality of the space. Cushions, rugs, lamps, curtains, and small decorative details such as vases, paintings, or mirrors are excellent for adding color without making a permanent commitment. They are ideal for bringing a touch of freshness and dynamism to any environment and can be easily changed if you want to update your decor in the future. Color combination: The key is to balance vibrant tones with softer, more natural ones. Use bold colors to highlight key areas, such as an accent wall, countertop, or work table, while calmer colors should predominate in the main areas of the space. This combination ensures that colors complement each other and maintains a harmonious visual flow, avoiding an overwhelming atmosphere. How colors influence the perception of space Color psychology, largely influenced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's color theory, studies how colors affect our emotions and behaviors. Goethe was one of the first to explore how colors not only have physical properties but also a profound emotional impact. Unlike contemporary scientific theories that focused on the physics of color, Goethe analyzed the subjective effects of colors on people. According to his theory, warm colors such as red, orange, and yellow generate feelings of energy and dynamism, while cool colors such as blue, green, and violet evoke calm and reflection. Goethe also noted that bright colors, such as yellow, could induce joy, while darker tones, such as black and brown, often evoked elegance. In the field of interior design, this understanding of color psychology allows architects and designers to create environments that are not only aesthetically appealing but also elicit an appropriate emotional response. For example, in commercial spaces or hospitality settings, where interaction and dynamism are sought, warm colors can be used in key areas, such as counters, walls, or furniture, to stimulate energy and create a welcoming atmosphere. On the other hand, cool colors are ideal for spaces where tranquility and concentration are desired, such as hotel bedrooms or work areas, as they help reduce stress and promote relaxation. Neutral colors, such as white and gray, play a crucial role in balancing the space, providing a base that highlights other tones without visually overloading the environment. By applying Goethe's theory, designers can influence the perception of space, using colors to visually enlarge or reduce dimensions, as well as evoke emotions in those experiencing the environment. Professional tips for choosing trendy colors for projects Choosing the right colors for a decorative project is crucial to creating the desired atmosphere, and architects and interior designers must take several factors into account. Here are some key tips for integrating the color trends of 2026 into your projects: Know the space and its purpose: Before choosing a color, it is essential to understand the purpose of the space. For example, for offices and workspaces, colors that promote concentration, such as cool tones, may be ideal. On the other hand, for commercial spaces or areas of social interaction, warm colors may be more appropriate to generate dynamism and energy. Think about color psychology: Make sure you understand how colors affect people emotionally. Use these psychological effects to enhance the user experience within a space. Consider natural and artificial lighting: light plays a fundamental role in how colors are perceived. Colors can look different depending on the amount and type of light the space receives. It is advisable to test color samples in the same environment before making final decisions. Combine neutral colors with vibrant accents: While neutral and natural colors serve as a base and allow other design elements to stand out, vibrant hues can be used to create focal points. Don't hesitate to incorporate pops of color in furniture, architectural details, or accent walls. Think about durability and maintenance: Some colors may be more practical for certain areas of the project. Maintain consistency with the brand identity: If you are working on a commercial or hospitality project, the colors chosen should be aligned with the brand identity or the experience you want to convey. Colors should complement the brand's philosophy and strengthen its presence in the space. When integrating the color trends of 2026 into your projects, it is essential that the colors selected are not only in line with current aesthetics but also reflect the values and identity of the brand. In this sense, Krion®, with its wide range of colors, allows architects and interior designers to create spaces that are not only visually striking but also aligned with the perceptions of the projects. Frequently asked questions about color trends in decoration in 2026 What colors will be trending in interior design in 2026?

According to WGSN, trending colors include Transformative Teal (a blue-green), Electric Fuchsia (a fluorescent pink), Blue Aura (a pastel gray-blue), Amber Haze (a yellow amber), and Jelly Mint (a mint green).

This year’s overall trend combines visual calm with a strong dose of personality; the goal is not a constant explosion of color, but rather a thoughtful balance where every shade serves a clear purpose within the space. How can I use sustainable colors in my decorating projects? Applying sustainable colors to your decorating projects starts with choosing natural shades that evoke a connection to the earth, such as greens, grays, and browns.

Types of shower screens

In comparison with traditional shower curtains, screens are a durable and easy-to-clean solution, preventing the build-up of mould. But did you know there was such a variety of shower screens to choose from? In this article, we'll take a look at the various options available, then it's over to you... to decide which one best suits your bathroom style and needs. The 4 main shower screen structures Shower screens are categorised according to their structure: fixed, sliding, hinged or folding screens. Select the type that suits the needs of your space and users, thinking about how it will work with your space and bathroom design. Sliding shower screen Sliding screens are ideal for smaller bathrooms, because they don't require the additional space you need to open a door out into the room. The smooth sliding mechanism provides easy and convenient access, making them a practical, very popular option. Our S+Line shower screen is one such example, boasting an ultra-smooth opening/closing system with rollers, preventing any sudden impacts. Fixed shower screen Fixed shower screens are a modern and minimalist solution. Elegant and discreet, they provide the perfect barrier to keep splashes of water inside the shower area. They're ideally suited to built-in showers or anyone longing for a visually clean, open design. Fixed shower screens like our Java series are a sleek solution for your bathroom. Folding shower screen If you want to maximise available space without compromising on accessibility, folding shower screens are the perfect solution. You can fold them in on themselves, freeing up valuable space when the shower is not in use. Simply ideal for smaller bathrooms. Hinged/pivot shower screens On these screens, the door opens outwards, providing wider access and unrestricted use of the shower. They're particularly suited to larger bathrooms, where you have plenty of space to open the door out without getting in the way of other elements. Shower screen designs and installations Your shower screen design and installation will often be dictated by your bathroom layout. Front-facing shower screen This type of shower screen is one of the most common.

Types of shower screens by material The material you opt for has an impact on the appearance, as well as durability and ease of maintenance. Aluminium or stainless steel shower screens Shower screen frames made from aluminium or stainless steel stand out for their robust and durable nature, and are a popular choice. These materials are highly resistant to corrosion and wear, ensuring they wear well, even in the most humid conditions. They're exceptionally easy to maintain, because the polished finish prevents the build-up of residue. Glass or acrylic shower screens Glass screens offer flawless visibility and a sense of spaciousness in any bathroom. Generally made from safe and resistant tempered glass, they can withstand blows and sudden changes in temperature. The transparent glass or acrylic allows the light to pass through naturally, helping to create a brighter, more open overall look. What's more, glass is easy to clean and doesn't absorb odours, making your bathroom much more hygienic. Acrylic screens are a lightweight, cost-effective alternative to glass. They may not be as resistant as tempered glass, but are more flexible and less susceptible to damage from blows.
