Immersed in the design of a bathroom, the moment comes to choose what the shower area will be like, one of the most important points when we begin to conceive this space, and our plan for the coming weeks will be based on studying numerous catalogues and countless products that we will need to become familiar with, understand and select in order to create the best possible solution. However, we will end up asking ourselves: What options do I have? Which is the ideal tap for my project?
The answer to these questions can be found in shower solutions that feature the market's greatest advances and whose design is geared towards comfort and functionality, without neglecting the aesthetic details that add value to our project.
Following these needs, we find the Ramon Soler® Shower Solutions range. The Catalan firm, which designs and manufactures its own taps, has been based in Barcelona since 1890 and has an international presence in more than 50 countries. Its catalogue offers a range of different concealed sets featuring the most up-to-date design, an aesthetic as minimalist as it is elegant and a highly optimal installation, designed for the installer's convenience.
Ramon Soler® Shower Solutions adapts to our project, whether we prioritise a practical, simple option or want to make combinations to create a made-to-measure shower set. These solutions consist of a concealed single-lever or thermostatic mixer - to choose according to preference -, a shower head from the hydrotherapy range and a handheld shower set with hose and water outlet elbow.
THE ADVANTAGES OF THE SMARTEST AESTHETICS
One of the main advantages of these concealed sets is that they have a very carefully considered and harmonious design, almost impossible not to catch our eye. The success lies in the sophisticated minimalism of all the elements, thanks to their polished lines and shapes and their minimal Ultra Slim thickness, both in the concealed mixer plate and in the shower heads, whether ceiling- or wall-mounted. At the same time, the integration of quality materials such as stainless steel with the Diamond Finish chrome finish and various saving and comfort systems add value in use with perceptible quality.
Another great advantage of Ramon Soler® concealed sets is that they offer great versatility, both from the aesthetic point of view and in the more technical aspect, with an extensive variety of designs and systems.
The brand's catalogue offers optimal combinations of pre-set sets, very useful if we need speed in the different situations that may arise. But it also gives us the option of combining the different parts to create a made-to-measure shower area according to the project's needs: from small bathrooms, en-suite bathrooms or hotels and spas. In addition, the aesthetic of the concealed range is based on all the brand's collections, so it achieves continuous coherence with the rest of the bathroom taps. This way, we can choose the basin tap and the concealed shower set from the same collection, but with the advantage of being able to pair them as we prefer.
MADE-TO-MEASURE COMBINATIONS
First, we must choose whether the concealed mixer will be single-lever or thermostatic; both have mechanical diverters with ceramic discs. Thanks to the correct proportions of the concealed set, minimal wall space is required, and it has minimalist metal plates with no visible screws; it is also designed for a clean and precise installation, since the dimensions of its component parts are reduced and it has a built-in spirit level.
Next, we need to define the water outlets we want the set to have. That is, 1-way, 2-way or 3-way, to which we can add ceiling- or wall-mounted shower heads with exclusive, original and elegant designs, with up to three different flow functions (rain, mist and/or waterfall), as well as add bath spouts or waterfalls, and handheld showers.
Some examples that appear in the Ramon Soler® catalogue show the possibilities offered by one and the same concealed single-lever mixer from the Alexia collection, whose versatile design adapts to shower heads of different sizes, styles and functions, which nevertheless share aesthetic criteria such as their proportions, their Diamond Finish chrome finish and an Ultra Slim thickness of 2mm in the case of the flat shower heads. Both elements, in combination and together with other accessories such as handheld showers, achieve a harmonious set.
With Ramon Soler® Shower Solutions we can give the shower area whatever shape best suits it, according to the needs of our project, and thus create unique bathrooms with all the comforts this room requires, whose prominence is increasingly evident, evolving from functionality to the added value of wellbeing, relaxation and personal care.
SYSTEMS IN SHOWER SOLUTIONS
DIAMOND FINISH
The surface of all our taps is very hard-wearing and has an extra-gloss finish, thanks to a carefully studied chrome-plating process and rigorous quality controls.
ANTI-LIMESCALE
The shower heads have flexible silicone nozzles, thanks to which limescale and impurities come off easily, even by rubbing with the fingers. Ramon Soler® uses top-quality, wear-resistant nozzles, so that the shower head lasts better and its operation is 100% reliable. In the long term, good maintenance prevents technical issues.
ERGONOMICS
The ergonomic design of the taps allows easy and comfortable use for anyone, making it possible to adjust the water temperature quickly and maintain it throughout the shower.
TERMOSTOP
The thermostatic option has a temperature-limiting system that indicates to the user the efficient-use temperature limit of 38º to 42ºC. This system limits the hot water temperature by means of a handwheel turn stop, which can be overridden simply by pressing a button.
SENSITIVITY
The thermostatic tap has been designed to allow comfortable selection of the desired temperature: a light press of the button while turning the temperature control handwheel is enough to increase it whenever desired. In addition, Ramon Soler thermostatic cartridges react in less than 1 second to variations in temperature and flow, maintaining the temperature.
S2 WATER SAVING
The single-lever option incorporates an intermediate stop in the vertical travel of the lever. The user will feel slight resistance that places the single-lever handle in an intermediate position, providing a flow with a 50% water saving and the possibility of more flow by opening the tap fully.
