The Shower Lab adds compact solution to frameless collection

The Shower Lab has enhanced its View Collection with the addition of frameless, double-hinged, bifold panels, offering a wetroom solution for compact spaces and multigenerational homes. Originally created as a bespoke design, the View 21.2H is now available to bathroom designers, as standard, from The Shower Lab. To optimise and conserve space, when not in use, the panels benefit from double hinges that allow the glass to fold flat against the wall. The flush design also removes the need for a threshold, eliminating a potential trip hazard, making it ideal for specifying in a multigenerational home or for users with additional needs. When needed, the double-hinged panels effortlessly fold out, to form a splash guard, to help users maintain a dry space around the enclosure.

The solid brass hinges, supplied by The Shower Lab, allow the glass panels to open both inwards and outwards, for a seamless and effortless use. The View 21.2H can also be specified in a range of sizes and configured with either a right or left sided opening to suit the requirements of the end-user.

The double-hinged bifold panels are constructed using 10 mm toughened safety glass that is tested to EN12150 standard. Additionally, the glass is treated with EnduroShield, which creates a barrier against limescale and other forms of water-related buildup, ensuring the glass remains water repellent and subsequently is easy to clean and maintain. 

The hinges are available in 10 finishes, including Light Aged Bronze, Polished Gold, Brushed Gunmetal Grey, Polished Chrome, White and Matt Black. Further customisation is offered by The Shower Lab with its glass variations, allowing designers to specify double-hinged bifold panels that perfectly complement the client’s personal taste. With coloured options including Green, Grey, Bronze and Satin Etched as well as Fluted, Modesty-Fluted and Dichroic glass available, the View 21.2H by The Shower Lab can be uniquely designed for each and every customer.

Dileep Arulmoli, commercial & operations director at The Shower Lab, said: “Unlocking the wow-factor in compact bathrooms requires innovatively designed products that effectively utilise the space without compromising on the overall aesthetic. Consumers with compact bathrooms should not have to sacrifice on quality either. Our View 21.2H design, originally a bespoke concept, is now an integral part of our frameless View Collection. The double-hinged bifold panels allow designers to create an opulent, space-saving wetroom in any bathroom that elegantly folds away when not in use.”
