Views: 54

The multi-S 4000 shower enclosure series represents one of the most iconic Duka and long-lasting solutions.

multi-S 4000 new has been developed with the aim of offering a versatile product, suitable for any situation and environment. The series becomes multi-taSking and thus meets the new and more diverse interpretations of contemporary living.

A restyling in design and in essence reveals greater aesthetic purity, dictated by a new, more delicate formal minimalism, also in the details, and a higher functionality.

The concept of the multi-S 4000 new project is essentially expressed in one word: versatility.

Thanks to its clean and essential lines, the many standard models available as well as the special tailor-made solutions, which ensure maximum adaptability to the user’s specific needs, and the different opening systems (pivot doors and bi-folding doors), the new multi-S 4000 is a truly multifunctional solution. It furnishes any shower space, fulfils needs or solves problems in a wide variety of situations, such as partial or complete renovations or new constructions, and characterises any context, whether residential, contract or hospitality.

Whatever the bathroom environment, the multi-S 4000 new series provides a solution.

The highlights of multi-S 4000 new

In its renewed version, the multi-S 4000 new series affirms itself as the new passepartout solution of Duka. It is an ideal product for furnishing any bathroom environment thanks to the many variants/models available and to numerous technical and aesthetic details that make it possible to meet the most diverse design requirements. multi-S 4000 new improves functional performance and associates the concept of beauty with that of comfort, reliability and safety, thus ensuring maximum well- being while showering. The particularly versatile ‘character’ of the multi-S 4000 new series is also emphasised by the simplicity and speed of installation, the ease of cleaning, and the product’s great durability.

- The hinges of the multi-S 4000 new are fixed to the glass by the Duka adhesive technology “Brilliant”, that eliminates the need for screws and ensures high glass resistance. The interior surface is thus absolutely smooth, without any raised components or obstacles, making the shower enclosure easy to clean and enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

- The seal system is barely visible and enhances the transparency and purity of the glass.

- The new profile with a concealed magnet (enclosed inside) ensures a smooth and even surface.

- The support bar, which can be adjusted with a simple twisting motion, is designed to ensure greater adaptability, stability and safety of the glass walls, and aligns perfectly with the height of the shower enclosure for easier installation.

- The wall adjustment, which makes it possible to adapt the standard shower enclosure size to any out-of-square measurements, has an extension of between 20 mm and 25 mm. For some solutions, the door can be easily adapted by means of micrometric wheel adjustment.

- The hinges, both the one characteristic of Duka and the one with the refined tubular shape, the profiles and the support bar with no visible screws, are extremely discreet; the thinnest part of the profile is placed on the outside, so as to respect the minimalist look of the new multi-S 4000 new ‘project’.

- The handles are available in three different variants. The standard round (knob) handle is available for pivot doors, and is characterised by a contoured surface that serves as an original decorative detail while ensuring an optimal grip. The handle with the more classic shape for bi-folding doors is equipped with a rubber insert for a comfortable grip. Finally, the square handle (optional handle) is made with ‘soft’ corners and a recessed grip.

- For the multi-S 4000 new, the new adhesive wall profile mounting technique is now also available. The new dukafix mounting technique does not involve drilling holes in the wall, which allows for quicker and easier and installation as well as a unique +/- 2mm extensibility. The new “invisible system” has been developed to respect the essential design, lightness of form and high functionality and, above all, to make installation even easier.

- The profiles are available in Silver Matt, Silver High Polish and Black.

- The multi-S 4000 series is made of 6 mm tempered safety glass - characterised by high resistance to impact, temperature changes and flexural strength - which ensures transparency and long-lasting brilliance thanks to the Protect and ProCare coatings. Protect is the coating that is applied to the surface of the glass, like a sort of protective skin which provides a water-repellent coating. ProCare, on the other hand, is the technical treatment of the glass: through a special, innovative magnetron coating of metal oxides, fixed by a specific pre-compression process, it allows water to slide off, limiting the build-up of residue. If product care instructions are followed, this coating will remain on the glass for life.

- The glass is available in the following variants: transparent, satin, Parsol grey, Cincillà (with relief motifs on the surface), Privé (with central white silk-screen print), Nubes (a silk-screen print that starts at the base of the shower enclosure and runs along the wall, decreasing in intensity) and Nebula (finish with central silk-screen print on the glass that fades both upwards and downwards).

- On request, the multi-S 4000 new can be equipped with the practical and elegant Tubes towel holder, which is also attached to the glass using the Duka UV adhesive technology.

With the new multi-S 4000 new, Duka once again confirms its constantly evolving tradition.

Thanks to the customization possibilities and all the features that make the multi-S 4000 new line a truly versatile solution with a practical and contemporary essence, Duka has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2024.
