Challenge: Limitations of Plastic Modular Showers

The traditional modular showers available in the market presented several drawbacks:

• Structural Weakness: Plastic-welded panels were prone to cracks, reducing the product’s lifespan.
• Water Leaks: Poor joint design often led to leakage issues, requiring frequent maintenance.
• Hygiene Concerns: The joints were a breeding ground for mould and mildew, compromising hygiene and aesthetics.

These challenges created a clear demand for a superior alternative, which Lamplas sought to meet by designing its own shower cubicle system.

2. Design Partnership
   Partnering with a specialised design company, Lamplas explored multiple design options. After rigorous evaluation, the team finalised a concept that combined practicality with modern aesthetics.
