Showering manufacturer Roman reports that KBB 2008 was a great success. The company told Building Products magazine it has launched and previewed a large number of new products which were extremely well received by all. Some of the most talked about products from the Roman Experience were their new luxury panelling system, Roman Wall, and their soon to be launched Designer Glass Motif. Roman Wall was launched at the show and created a real buzz. The solid surface panelling system is a genuine designer alternative to tiling.

Roman the UK’s market leading shower manufacturer, has launched a step-by-step online video guide which demonstrates how to install a wetroom. The video podcast shows an installation demonstration using Roman’s tanking kit Roman Shield. It contains everything needed to tank a 10m² room from start to finish in one simple to use kit, including optional extra products.

Freedom Slide is the name of Roman's latest shower enclosure. It is claimed to be a 'a completely new and innovative take on the bath replacement, walk-in style enclosure.' Its 1700 x 700mm dimensions match the footprint of a standard UK bath making it, says the company the 'perfect bath replacement enclosure'. It comes with a sliding door, so is ideal for those nervous of door-less showering.The sliding door creates a capsule style drying area so is maintained to be an ideal solution for smaller en-suite bathrooms, ensuring the area around the shower enclosure is kept a splash-free zone. The low-level tray to suit the Freedom slide comes complete with an integrated duckboard, which sits within the drying area of the shower enclosure. The duckboard is made from the same material as the shower tray to offer a long life. It is also removable for easy cleaning.
