Showers with profile

New stainless-steel profiles for gradient compensation with optional glass groove from Richard Brink

Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock, 08/04/2024. Walk-in shower areas that guide the water towards the shower channel over a sloping screed as opposed to having a shower tray combine a minimalistic aesthetic with maximum comfort. Nowadays accessible, walk-in showers are a firm feature of modern bathroom design. New stainless-steel shower-channel wedge profiles are available now from Richard Brink and afford a whole host of new visual accents and other functional benefits to prospective customers.

The range of bathroom systems from the metal products manufacturer encompasses multiple stainless-steel profile variants for floor-level shower areas. Customers have a basic choice between versions for gradient compensation or the same with an additional groove for glass panels. On top of that, wall-side end profiles in the floor zone as well as supplementary products for mounting a glass panel by the wall are available.

Profiles for gradient compensation

The stainless-steel gradient wedges made from polished V2A stainless steel create an attractive and reinforced transition between the built-up sloping screed and the surrounding horizontal tiled surface. The wedge profiles with a gradient of 2% are available in lengths of 980mm, 1,480mm and 1,980mm. As well as the sloping edge on the sides, the profiles also have perforated supporting bases for tiling.

Profiles with glass groove

If the plan is to install glass panels in the shower area as well as compensating for the gradient, this can be done using the profiles with integrated glass groove. These variants, also made from polished stainless steel, are available in lengths of 980mm or 1,480mm with a gradient of 2%. The profiles are designed to hold glass panels with a maximum thickness of 12mm securely in place. If glass elements need to be fitted around corners by the wall, the range from Richard Brink also offers its customers special versions that come as a full set along with the accompanying floor profiles, enabling the glass panels to be securely anchored both horizontally and vertically.

End profiles for a uniform look

The manufacturer also produces matching end profiles for the front side of the wall areas to complement the gradient wedge profiles. These create a uniform, all-round stainless-steel look thanks to the direct connection of the end profiles with the gradient wedges. These product solutions are supplied in a length of 1,480mm and for tile thicknesses of 10mm or 20mm. Here, too, a complete set consisting of gradient wedges and end profiles is available.
