Wet rooms are the ultimate style statement and Manhattan has created a beautiful series of Wet rooms that portray a delicate yet luxurious flavour combining classic design and precision craftsmanship.

Manhattan understands that homes and bathrooms come in many different shapes and sizes, therefore its latest wet room products encompass a plethora of design solutions.

Their wet rooms have been designed for both freestanding and corner applications offering infinite configuration options:

Both are installed using Manhattan’s own unique and innovative bracing bar, which can be adjusted to allow for a combination of spatial and design preferences.

Graham Hackett, Marketing Manager of Manhattan Showers Ltd “We believe that the distinctive features of our new range of wet rooms offer a truly different design element, opening up endless possibilities”.

For extra versatility, the wet room panels come in various sizes and can be installed with either return panels or an end panel.

The corner option is secured using a slender wall channel together with an adhesive floor channel, which sits on top of floor tiles to hold the glass panel securely.

The freestanding option is fitted with an ingenious aluminium floor channel, which is counter sunk into the floor tile providing a secure, sealed location.

Wet Room specifications: Panel sizes: 700, 900, 1000, 1200mm, 8mm glass.

Manhattan’s wet rooms are designed and built in the UK and come complete with a Lifetime Guarantee together with British Standard certification.
