Ilea

ILEA is a French company specializing in the design and manufacture of shower cabins and wall panels. Based in Guérande, the company was founded by Didier Deroux and his wife.

The firm targets the bathroom renovation and installation market, focusing on providing solutions that can be rapidly deployed by professionals. A core aspect of their product line is the use of composite panels for shower cabins and walls, which are produced in their own manufacturing facility.

ILEA has developed a patented assembly process (Patent 1570040) that distinguishes its products. This technique ensures a perfect seal without the use of traditional silicone joints. Instead, it employs a specific profile system for joining the panels, and waterproofing is achieved by thermally welding a PVC strip directly on-site. This method is designed to allow for a complete installation in under 24 hours.

The business model centers on the sale of these prefabricated and easy-to-install shower systems to professionals in the construction and renovation sector. The primary benefit for their clients is the significant reduction in installation time and the reliability of the waterproofing system.
