Bespoke Shower Benches: Comfort and Design for the Shower Space

A shower bench provides a place to sit and rest within the shower space, enhancing the comfort and functionality of the bathroom. Poseidon, Quare’s bespoke shower bench, is made of Quarex and available in various measurements, textures, and colors to blend visually with the rest of the bathroom design.

What is the Poseidon shower bench?

Poseidon is Quare’s bespoke shower bench, designed to blend seamlessly with the rest of the bathroom. It can be paired with Quare shower bases and Wall Panels using the same finish and color, allowing you to create cohesive designs and maintain a consistent material aesthetic throughout the project.

In addition to serving as a seat, its surface can provide support within the shower area, offering comfort without compromising the integrated aesthetic.

What material is Poseidon made of?

Poseidon is made of Quarex, a material developed by Quare from polyester resin and Mineral fillers, with a specific coating designed for use in the bathroom.

Quare’s technical documentation highlights, among other features, the coating’s resistance to hydrolysis and UV rays, as well as its Antislip coating and ease of cleaning and Maintenance.

What are the measurements and finishes of the Poseidon shower bench?

Poseidon is manufactured with a height of 350 mm, a depth of 470 mm, and a configurable length between 500 and 1300 mm, allowing it to be adapted to different shower sizes and layouts.

It is available in two textures: Poseidon can be configured in Quare’s 11 standard colors—Pure White, Cream, Gray, Grege, Silk Grey, Fango, Macchiato, Terra, Grafite, Antracite, and Black—in the special colors Gold, Fossil, and Terracotta, and in RAL and NCS colors upon request.

• Liso, with a uniform surface and minimalist aesthetic.
• Pizarra, with a mineral-inspired texture.

This variety allows the bench to be coordinated with the shower base, Wall Panels, and other Quare elements in the project.

How is the Poseidon shower bench installed?

Poseidon arrives factory-finished, and its installation system is specifically designed to integrate it seamlessly into the shower space.

The bench comes with two support feet, a Silicone cartridge, and an extension designed to fill the gap between the bench and the wall or shower enclosure. The length of the extension is determined based on the project’s specifications.

Poseidon must not be installed directly on the shower base or attached to the shower enclosure. To ensure proper installation, always follow Quare’s technical and installation instructions.

Unlike a custom-built bench that is tiled afterward, Poseidon allows you to incorporate a factory-finished piece into the project that coordinates with the rest of the bathroom’s elements.

In what types of projects can a shower bench be used?

A shower bench can provide functionality and comfort in both residential bathrooms and projects in the hotel, hospitality, coliving, or senior living sectors.

It can also be useful in spaces designed to facilitate shower use for people who need a seating or support surface. In projects subject to specific accessibility requirements, the solution must be verified in accordance with the applicable regulations and specifications for each case.

Its bespoke manufacturing and the ability to coordinate materials, textures, and colors allow Poseidon to be integrated from the earliest stages of an architectural or interior design project.
