The Sunshower Deluxe Functions Like A Sun-Bed

 The Sunshower Deluxe Functions Like A Sun-Bed Boundary Bathrooms have introduced the innovative Sunshower Deluxe for the modern bathroom, which delivers a daily UV light boost to the user when showering.

Health specialists advocate that sunlight is good for the body, when used moderately and it assists the production of vitamin D, which helps the body’s immune system.

The Sunshower Deluxe functions in the same way as a sun-bed, but in a much lower dosage, to provide an all over tan and helps the body to produce vitamin D.

The Sunshower Deluxe is installed into the shower wall enclosed in chrome and has five low level lamps that can function together or individually, ensuring that every part of the body receives the desired amount of sunlight.

When used for a maximum of 20 minutes at a time, the Sunshower Deluxe is healthier and less stressful for the skin than direct sunlight, or using a sun-bed, and ensures that the user’s skin slowly adapts to the measured sunlight, to slowly give an all over tan.

It also offers benefits for people suffering with certain chronic skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, sun allergy and vitiligo.

Product Features

  • Sunshower Deluxe single panel with chrome frame.
  • Five individually adjustable lamps.
  • Blue coloured filter in each lamp.
  • Height:1982mm, Width: 420mm, Depth: 200mm (Built-in depth).

Engla And Elliot: Sandberg’s Nostalgic Children’s Collection

 Engla And Elliot: Sandberg’s Nostalgic Children's Collection  Sandberg has announced the launch of Engla and Elliot, a charming collection of children’s fabrics and wallpapers, for summer 2011.

The Sandberg Studio has created an enchanting collection, inspired by the nostalgic influences of children’s storybooks from the 1950s, which tells a number of tales with-a-twist.

Engla and Elliot is a voyage of discovery for children and adults alike:

  • The hand-drawn patterns are bursting with vivacity and a wonderful unbridled spirit of exploration.
  • There are eight fabric designs, 13 wallpapers and four borders, all of which benefit from a suitably vivacious colour palette.
  • They mix traditional with contemporary, and feature some totally charming and diverse motifs such as love-struck parrots, romantic circus horses and engaging elephants, a feast of cakes and candies, vintage cars, flower pots on parade, musical instruments, flags and letters of the alphabet; in fact something to inspire the imagination of children of all ages.

The new collection reflects Sandberg’s strong dedication to improving health and the environment: all the fabric designs are printed onto 100% organic cotton using environmentally-certified dyes, and the wallpapers are manufactured using sustainable resources from Scandinavian forests.
