Neither timeconsuming alignment work nor additional sound insulation is required. Even difficult floor plans are no problem: Kaldewei SolidliteTM can be customised to the centimetre for any installation situation, as the shower surface can be cut to size at the factory. With Solidlite™, Kaldewei continues to set new standards in both performance and sustainability - proving that innovation and practicality can go hand in hand.
