Imagen Transtube

Transtube has arrived. The first global shower solution created by Roca which adapts perfectly to any bathroom space thanks to its 360º transparent surround. With its cutting-edge design based along minimalist lines, Transtube is the fruit of Roca’s firm commitment to combining design, innovation and technology to provide the finest bathroom solutions which adapt to the needs of all users.

Transtube offers the unique opportunity to enjoy a global shower solution which affords all-round visual reality without obstacles, thanks to its exclusive design which eliminates the edges and supports of the traditional shower screen by building them into the base of the shower. Transtube features the latest generation of materials and hi-tech functions such as automatic door with movement sensor, shower base with non-slip Styltech flooring material and the stainless steel thermostatic column which all contribute to water and energy savings.  

Roca has managed to bring together its basic principles in line with its traditional philosophy: leadership, by offering a global shower solution for the first time; innovation, combining design and the latest technologies; well-being, allowing us to enjoy the new concept of a 360º shower  and sustainability, combining progress with water and energy-saving systems.
