Luxury outdoor living begins with Italtile’s Auckland Shower

Italtile is delighted to introduce the Auckland Outdoor Shower Column, its first-ever purpose-designed outdoor shower. Created for South Africa’s sunny climate, outdoor lifestyle, and the growing demand for seamless indoor-outdoor living, this striking new addition transforms patios, pool decks, and garden areas into resort-inspired spaces.

Reflecting the rise of wellness architecture and biophilic design, the Auckland Outdoor Shower Column responds to a growing desire for a stronger connection with nature and the outdoors. Combining sophisticated design with practical functionality, it brings a sense of luxury, relaxation, and wellbeing to contemporary outdoor living spaces.

Key benefits include:

  • Hygiene and convenience: Effortlessly rinse off sand, salt, chlorine, dirt or mud after beach days, swimming, gardening, or outdoor play… and avoid muddy footprints through the house.
  • Spa-like outdoor experience: Enjoy a refreshing, invigorating shower under the open sky – an everyday luxury – and spend more time in your outdoor space with family, friends, and pets.
  • Added value and curb appeal: A beautifully designed outdoor feature that enhances property aesthetics and perceived value. An investment piece that positively impacts the selling price of your property.
  • Versatile water control: Equipped with a quality mixer for both hot and cold water (plumbed to your existing home supply), it offers complete comfort, to your liking. At 3 Bar pressure, the hand shower delivers 10.2 L/min and the top shower head 12.5 L/min. Low-flow restrictors can be added if required for even greater efficiency.
  • Coastal durability: The 316 stainless steel construction makes it ideal for high-humidity and coastal environments.

Practical considerations:

  • Drainage and foundation requirements remain site-dependent and follow standard outdoor plumbing practices.
  • In regions with freezing winter temperatures, Italtile recommends installing a shut-off valve on the supply line and draining the unit for protection.
  • Maintenance is simple: regular wipe-downs (especially in coastal areas) and periodic cleaning of nozzles prevent limescale.
  • Any tea staining (mild surface corrosion) on stainless steel can be easily removed with non-abrasive cleaners like Bar Keepers Friend, denture tablets or a baking soda paste. These options will all lift surface discolouration. Always use a non-abrasive pad when scrubbing.

The Auckland Outdoor Shower Column places the luxury of a private spa experience front and centre in your home’s outdoor realm. And perfectly embodies Italtile’s commitment to innovative, eco-chic solutions that elevate everyday living.

The Auckland Outdoor Shower Column is exclusive to Italtile.
