Fed up of the rushed morning shower ritual to help wake you up for the day?
Now, you can shower in style with the new Atreo wet room concept from Jacuzzi UK, designed to be both beautiful and adaptable.

With fluid shapes that embrace the body and stimulate the mind, the Jacuzzi® Atreo, featured here is something to wake up for rather than pass through.

There are two sub categories within the Atreo luxury shower range:

• All are distinguished by the overhead bracket and many configurations can be achieved, as the side and front panels are not linked, allowing flexibility when positioning the enclosure within the bathroom:

• Jacuzzi Atreo key features include a UV bonded towel rail on the side panels and 6mm glass with Jacuzzi Clearglass coating for ease of cleaning.

• A clever wall profile system ensures that any potentially unsightly adjustments to the enclosure, take place behind the stylish matt silver wall post, maintaining a perfect appearance to your enclosure and cushioned magnetic door closure.

• Prices range from £1,161 for the Atreo Recess Hinge Door and from £1,700 for the Atreo Walk In Wet Room Corner.

The new Jacuzzi Designer Range New Innovations catalogue is available to download now, and features highly desirable products that look superb and perform to the highest standard.

The Jacuzzi ranges are sold exclusively through specialist bathroom retailers throughout the UK.
