KUDOS, the UK’s premier manufacturer of high quality shower enclosures, has built an enviable reputation for beautifully designed, precision engineered shower doors and enclosures that represent the very best in performance and value.

The three stunning ranges, ORIGINAL, INFINITE and ULTIMATE each incorporate many innovative and unique features that set KUDOS doors and enclosures apart from the competition.

Accepting no compromise, KUDOS goes to exceptional lengths to ensure that each and every hand-built door, enclosure or tray is designed and engineered to deliver ease of fitting and absolute safety whilst providing the ultimate showering experience.

t h r e e s t u n n i n g r a n g e s … one lasting quality

As with many originals, the KUDOS original collection is often imitated, seldom matched, but never surpassed. This range of elegantly designed shower doors, enclosures and screens have become one of the UK’s most successful products.

The KUDOS u lt i m at e range of walk-in showers featuring the unique KUDOS shower tower for a fully integrated showering solution. The range now includes the new u lt i m at e 2 wet room panels, the most versatile and flexible of any system currently available.

The KUDOS I N F I N I T E collection sets new standards in innovation and style. This minimalist range features glass to glass panels, unique three-dimensional adjustment and crystal clear seals.

KUDOS have built an enviable reputation for beautifully designed, precision engineered shower doors and enclosures that represent excellent value for money.

No compromise is made in the quality of the elements that go to make up each hand-built KUDOS door, enclosure or tray. Going to exceptional lengths to ensure that every product, across all ranges, incorporates superbly engineered components with features that are designed to offer ease of fitting, absolute safety and the ultimate showering experience. Take a look at just a few of the many significant features that set KUDOS products apart from many other shower products available.

Why would you settle for less?

SAFETY

Great attention to detail is taken in the design of all our products and safety is paramount, as shown in the unique curved bottom edge we incorporate in the KUDOS bathscreen.

QUALITY

Not satisfied with what is easily available, KUDOS often develop items specifically to improve quality, such as the superbly engineered, stainless steel roller bearings that ensure a perfectly smooth glide action on all KUDOS sliding doors.

CONVENIENCE

Some design features are included to simply make your showering experience as enjoyable as possible. The door handle on the curved pivot doors doubles as a towel rail to keep your towels conveniently at hand.

EXCELLENCE

A great performing shower is wholly dependant upon being installed on a great performing shower tray. That is why KUDOS Showers manufactures its own range of Acrylic Capped ABS Stone filled trays to the most exacting standards, and is regarded as the innovator of these high quality, durable shower trays.

ORIGINALITY

At KUDOS we constantly develop new and unique solutions that improve the function of all our products. One example is the unique 3-way system in the wall posts of the Infinite range that allows adjustment of the enclosure for out-of-true walls and floors. A system further enhanced over any other by the fact that adjustment can be made after the glass panels have been installed.

SUPPORT

Every KUDOS product is hand-built to exacting standards with precision and care, and is supported by our highly trained National team of technical sales engineers who are equipped to assist with on-site technical advice, installation queries and in the unlikely event, warranty repairs.

INNOVATION

KUDOS was first to market with the innovative and unique sliding panel release mechanism that allows the inner glass panel, from the Original range, to swing inwards to allow for easy cleaning.

LONGEVITY

KUDOS believe that it is often the smallest detail that will make a huge difference. Take the hinge on our Infinite Hinge Door for instance. Not satisfied with a standard hinged mechanism, we incorporate a KevlarTM impregnated sleeve to prevent metal running against metal, greatly prolonging the life of the mechanism. All KUDOS Shower Products are designed

and built for greater longevity to ensure that your KUDOS shower will feel and operate

like new for many years to come. To support this, all KUDOS shower products carry an unequivocal Lifetime Guarantee against material or manufacturing defects.

At KUDOS we place great importance on our ongoing commitment and constant drive to incorporate innovative and beneficial solutions in to the design of all our products, whether these solutions ease fitting, improve maintenance or simply add to the aesthetics of the product. KUDOS showers was the first to market with the innovative and unique KUDOS sliding panel release mechanism, allowing the inner glass panel from the Original range of sliding enclosures to simply swing inwards for easy cleaning in normally hard to reach areas.

The exceptional engineering of the specially developed, stainless steel, roller bearings, used in our KUDOS Sliding Doors ensure an action so smooth it really needs to be experienced.

The KUDOS bath Screen features a double seal that runs along the foot of the glass panel offering twice the protection against water leakage, whilst the moulding integrates with the wall post forming a continuous waterproof seal at the corner point where leakage can be an issue with other bathscreens.

the clever design of the KuDOS Over-bath Shower Panel ensures that, if used correctly, water spillage and overspray are eliminated. the supporting framework acts as a stopper for the curtain to ensure that there is an overlap with the glass whilst also keeping the curtain inside of the bath, protecting the bathroom floor from the likelihood of damage.

It is no accident that the KUDOS Original range of elegantly designed shower doors, enclosures and over-bath products has become one of the UK’s most successful bathroom product ranges.
