It seems that there are millions of Brits who just find it irresistible, to decorate the house with romantic paraphernalia in celebration of Valentine’s Day - heart shaped wreaths, soaps, roses and themed towels all making a regular appearance.

The bathroom has long been associated with romance. The ultimate act is running your true love a luxurious bath, scattered with rose petals and lit by soft candle-light.

Responding to this, Merlyn Showering believes that this romantic scenario needs to be brought in-line with the habits and needs of people in 2011 - with showers being the preferred option over baths.

So this 14th February run your Valentine a steaming hot shower:

One shower enclosure that oozes romantic charm is Merlyn Showering’s seductive Series 10 Sliding Door with smoked black glass.

• It has the alluring appeal of the dark tinted glass offering subtle privacy, yet the enclosure is undeniably big enough for two.

• Series 10 also includes the iconic 1 Door Offset Quadrant with 10 mm toughened glass (standard across the range) and tray sizes up to a generous 1200mm.

• The curves of this enclosure are enhanced by the polished chrome finish, creating a classically flawless look.

The Series 10 range comes with the new Merlyn glass protection, Mershield, as standard. Mershield is a hydrophobic coating that protects glass and glass-like surfaces. The Mershield coating makes the shower glass extremely ‘easy to clean’ as it precludes the accumulation of lime scale and soap residue.

Matki Showering has unveiled its latest enclosure design - the New Classica Shower; a collection of highly polished stainless steel surrounds available in straight, corner and recess variants, to suit any shape or size of bathroom.

The New Classica is an elegant addition to the extensive collection of shower enclosures offered by Matki Showering:

The shower’s frame is produced from high quality stainless steel, which is polished to give a stylish and glamorous look to any luxury bathroom.

Steel has hardwearing properties and is therefore able to easily support the toughened glass, which is 10mm thick.
 
The shower is fitted with a smooth running, soft closure sliding door, which quietly pulls itself shut.
 
 The chrome column shower head, compliments the design and offers either a deluge, or handheld shower to bathe under.
 
 The low profile tray brings minimalist style to the shower, eliminating the need to step up and into the enclosure, whilst adding a wet room  feel.

The shower waste is an unusual rectangular shape produced from stainless steel that can be lifted allowing easy access for cleaning. 

Matki Showering continues to create a showering experience, which combines invigorating design with uncompromising construction.
