Extendable stainless steel single lever shower bar with black metallic finish Art by Imex

When the bathroom speaks the language of contemporary design

There are bathrooms that just work. And there are bathrooms that, when you enter them, communicate something: that whoever designed them knew exactly what they wanted, that every element was chosen with discernment, that nothing is there by chance.

The Imex Art Extendable Single-Lever Shower Bar (ref. BDAR025/BGM) is made for that second type of bathroom. Manufactured in S304 stainless steel with a gunmetal black finish, brass faucet, and a 35 mm ceramic cartridge, its hallmark is the language of straight lines and clean geometry: square shower head, square profile hand shower, angular shapes that unapologetically claim their space with character.

If your bathroom has large format rectangular tiles, straight-profile screens, sharp-edged countertops, and minimalist design accessories — this is the bar that coherently completes the set. The one that makes the whole bathroom speak the same language.

The square shower head: the shower that looks different even before you turn it on

The shower head is the most visible element of any shower set. It's the first thing the eye registers when entering the cubicle. And in the Imex Art Bar, that first impression is striking.

The 20 cm square shower head with an ultra-flat profile and gunmetal black finish is unlike anything in the standard catalog of conventional faucets. Its orthogonal geometry, defined edges, and perfectly square proportion make it a piece that alone elevates the visual level of the entire bathroom.

But beyond aesthetics, this 20 cm shower head produces something that smaller shower heads simply cannot offer: a wide and enveloping spray that covers an adult's shoulders and torso without having to move to wet what's left out. A coverage area almost three times larger than that of a standard 12 cm shower head. The difference is not subtle — it's the difference between a functional shower and a shower you enjoy.

The anti-limescale system of the outlet holes is the intelligent solution to the everyday problem in Spain, where hard water is the norm in most regions: limescale deposits do not consolidate on the edges of the holes, and a simple rub with a finger under the water maintains the perfect spray pattern without descalers or disassembly. Less maintenance, more enjoyment.

Geometry that unifies the bathroom: when square is the right answer

Formal coherence in the bathroom is not a luxury reserved for high-end architectural projects. It's something that any well-planned renovation can achieve, and it makes the difference between a bathroom that "is fine" and one that truly impresses.

Contemporary minimalist bathrooms have a common denominator: the orthogonal geometric language. Large format vertical or horizontal tiles, straight profiles on screens and countertops, clean-lined accessories, angular faucets. It's the style that has dominated renovation catalogs for years, and for a very specific reason: straight geometry visually amplifies space, organizes the whole, and effortlessly communicates modernity.

The Imex Art Bar is the shower bar designed for this language. The square shower head, the square profile hand shower, the coherent geometry of the entire set — everything speaks the same language. When you install it in a bathroom with that language, it doesn't stand out for being different from the rest: it stands out because it is exactly what the space called for.

Gunmetal black on S304 steel: the finish that doesn't surrender to time

The question everyone asks about black finish faucets is always the same: how long does it last without deteriorating?

The correct answer does not depend on the finish itself — it depends on the material it is applied to. And this is where the Imex Art Bar makes a difference compared to more economical options.

The body of the bar and the shower head are made of S304 stainless steel — the same AISI 304 grade used in medical equipment, professional kitchens, and facade architecture. A material that does not rust, does not corrode in humid environments, and does not deform with the temperature cycles typical of showering. Such a stable base means that the gunmetal black finish applied to it has no reason to deteriorate: there are no micro-contractions, no irregular thermal expansions, no underlying oxidation that eventually surfaces.

The faucet body is made of brass — the benchmark standard in quality mid-to-high-end European faucets for its precision machining properties and internal hydraulic resistance. Not zinc, not zamak, not compromise alloys: brass, with the same stability and durability that distinguishes faucets that work perfectly for years from those that start causing problems sooner than expected.

The result is a gunmetal black finish that looks the same five years from now as it did on day one. Because it is built on the right materials.

35 mm ceramic cartridge: temperature control you notice from the first use

There is a very specific difference that anyone notices as soon as they use a faucet with a 35 mm ceramic cartridge compared to one with a lower quality or smaller diameter cartridge: the temperature adjustment feels precise, progressive, and completely under your control.

The 35 mm ceramic cartridge works with two alumina discs — extremely hard ceramic — that determine the exact mix of hot and cold water according to the lever's position. The 35 mm diameter extends the angular travel between maximum cold and maximum hot, distributing the temperature range over a larger arc. In practice:

• Small lever movements = fine temperature adjustments, without abrupt jumps

• Smooth flow opening, without having to force the lever to reach maximum

• Decades of durability, thanks to the extreme hardness of the ceramic discs that do not wear out with daily use

And because it's a single-lever mixer, temperature and flow are controlled with a single gesture of one hand. In the shower, that's not a detail: it's what makes every opening natural and immediate, without adjustments or tweaks.

The bar that adapts to your installation, not the other way around

One of the most common problems in bathroom renovations is that the actual measurements of the installation do not exactly match the standard measurements of the products. The Imex Art Bar solves this problem at its root:

Extendable and telescopic bar: adjustable in length before final fixing, it adapts to the exact distance between the water supply point and the upper anchor without modifications or special adaptations. The installer adjusts, fixes, and it's done — no cutting, no additional parts, no improvising.

Height-adjustable hand shower holder: any member of your family can position the hand shower at the exact point where it is most comfortable for them. In a household with people of different heights, this feature is not optional — it's what ensures the shower is comfortable for everyone, always.

150 cm PVC hose: lightweight, flexible, and long enough to comfortably reach any part of the body from any position within the cubicle. No tension, no loops on the floor, no movement restrictions.

12 l/min: the shower that's enjoyed without wasting

The flow rate of 12 liters per minute is the perfect balance between a generous shower sensation and responsible water consumption. Enough for the rain from the 20 cm square shower head to be evenly and envelopingly distributed over the entire surface. Efficient so that an 8-minute shower consumes less than 100 liters — significantly below the 150-160 liters of old installations without regulation.

Better showers. More reasonable water bill. Both at once.

Installation: straight to the point

Two wall anchor points — lower for the faucet and water connection, upper for the end of the telescopic bar. Standard water connection compatible with common shower outlets in Spain. In renovations where an existing bar is replaced, the outlet is generally directly reusable.

⚠️ Installation recommended by a professional plumber to ensure correct alignment of anchors and watertightness of all connections.

5-year warranty: real backing, not just words

5-year warranty against manufacturing defects — more than double the legal minimum in Spain. Covers the correct functioning of the entire set under normal use conditions. Imex can offer this extended warranty because the materials — S304 steel, brass, ceramic — have the durability to support it without risk.
