ROMAN LAUNCHES DESK & RECEPTION SHIELDS

As a response to the current COVID -19 outbreak, British manufacturer of shower enclosures, Roman, has announced the launch of its Desk and Reception Shields.

The management team at Roman say that they are extremely keen to help and support its customers in every way possible. Accordingly, in April, Roman announced it will not administer any price increases in 2020 and now it is helping customers to open again and trade safely by designing and manufacturing desk and reception shields.

The feet are precision CNC cut from 12mm Glacier White Corian sheet in the Roman Fabrication plant and have strong double-sided tape beneath them to hold them in place. They offer a tight fit around the glass and can be positioned to suit the installation prior to the tape being activated. Two options exist to suit height requirements. The Desk Shield is 1470mm long and 755mm high, designed to offer protection around a standard desk height and width; however, the Reception Shield is for a raised Reception desk and is therefore 1500mm length and 490mm height.

Both products feature 6mm toughened safety glass to EN12150. Roman will have extensive stock and these items are already in manufacture and available on a 5-10 day delivery window.

The company say that if customers have other size requirements Roman will endeavour to assist if possible. Roman’s Shield range can be ordered at:

Roca, global manufacturer of bathroom products has launched a new collection of ‘The Gap’ sanitaryware; The Gap Round.

Designed as a solution for small spaces the new compact WC’s provide the same functionality as a standard WC and would be perfectly suited to a secondary bathroom. Its rimless design enhances hygiene, as it leaves no space for bacteria to grow, making the toilet easier to clean and maintain. This is complemented by the quick release seat and cover, which can easily be adjusted or detached allowing for easy cleaning. When flushed, the distribution of water ensures the entire bowl is rinsed, improving the experience for all users within the home.

“The Gap has always been a popular range and we are so excited to be able to build on the success of this with the new round design” comments Claire Gay, Marketing Manager at Roca. “We like to offer our customers products that complement their bathroom space and design style and by recreating The Gap in a rounder, softer shape we can expand the potential of this wellloved range.”

The latest products in the family include four rimless WC’s and two bidets. The round design is in contrast to the modern and sleek lines in the original collection and provides an alternative option for homeowners.

A key feature of the Roca toilet seats and covers is the Supralit® coating, Roca’s exclusive antibacterial resin is designed to protect toilets and bidets. Its exceptional design not only reinforces hygiene and durability, but the high level of UV-light resistance means the seat will not discolour over time. This makes it an ideal choice for homeowners, developers, retailers and specifiers.
