Groove is the new lineup of inspectable showers designed for Alpi. This innovative system makes possible to paint the shower head with the same finish of the ceiling while providing a full inspectability. Groove showers perfectly blend into the suspended ceiling without affecting the continuity of the surface. The three concentric grooves conceal the water outlets and the joint between the shower head moving part and the suspended ceiling panel. The system is easy to remove for maintenance making it fully inspectable. The shower head is suspended on the ceiling just like a manhole lays on the road. Groove is made with a polyurethane foam suitable for any varnish. The surface can be texturized and finished exactly like the rest of the ceiling. Groove is available in three different versions: 3-D oval, flat oval and flat squared. The squared and oval versions enable to remove the system by simply rotating the moving part by a few degrees.
