Inax

In the early 1900s, the Imperial Hotel commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the greatest American architects of the 20th century, to design its new building. Hatsunojo Ina and his son Chozaburo were invited to become technical advisors for this project. Upon the completion of the hotel, they took on the workers and the equipment of this factory, creating Ina Seito, which later became INAX.

Japan is a country that respects the beauty of nature and people, and INAX is a brand nurtured by Japan’s unique tradition and culture, inheriting the techniques and spirit of craftsmanship, relentless in the pursuit of quality. All these components change and dignify the surrounding atmosphere, and give comfort to everyone who sees them. Highly regarded outside Japan, ageless Japanese beauty and techniques have inspired contemporary designers, marking a footprint in the products they design.

S600

The S600 LINE has been developed based on the INAX Brand Design Values. Essence pursues the essential values of the product. Sophistication ensures functionality as well as attractiveness when integrated with architecture. Through intelligently arranged products that look like pieces of art, subtly embedded with the spirit of Japanese hospitality, the bathroom space arranged with S600 LINE products helps bring about a deeper level of relaxation and vitality. Enjoy a tranquil moment in the luxurious comfort of your S600 LINE bathroom that will rejuvenate you with the Japanese water rituals.

Aqua Ceramic

Aqua Ceramic material is a milestone in the history of ceramics. Stubborn soil washes away with a simple flush. The smooth, stain-repellant surface prevents unsightly hard water buildup and spots, so the bowl stays fresh and gleams like new after cleaning. With this revolutionary development, whiteness and shine can last a century.

Satis S

INAX’s shower toilets are forever evolving in both function and design to deliver further comfort and satisfaction that goes hand in hand with their passion to manufacture creative products that help people live well.

The Satis S shower toilet is a testament to that with its many features. It has a dual nozzle for rear-wash and another dedicated for the female bidet function that caters to women’s concerns about cleaning their intimate area with the rear-wash nozzle. Its Auto Seat lid opens and closes automatically, while other automated functions include the flush and an air-shield deodorizer to prevent bad odours.

Tece

TECE’s roots go back to 1955 when it began life as a practical engineering company. TECE is a family owned company with a culture aimed at long-term and controlled growth. It developed in time into a group of companies. The company has grown through its particular proximity and dialogue with customers. By means of this approach, their culture of inquisitiveness shapes the company’s philosophies and leads them to develop well-thought-out products and services, setting standards in the industry through unique solutions.

Actuator Plates

TECE flush plates unlock a whole new touch feel experience. The satisfying feel of the actuation with cushioned end-stop, the trigger of the automatic sensor gives the user a feeling for the quality technology installed behind the wall. Whether made of plastic, stainless steel, glass or slate, the various materials available means you’ll find the right flush plate that suits your needs best.

Concealed Cisterns​

With TECElux, high-tech behind the wall becomes a highlight thanks to its various upgradable modules that already incorporate all the facilities behind the wall that future toilet models may require. As a modular system it provides the maximum room for decision-making.

Delabie

It all began in 1928 when Georges Delabie, a sanitary ware wholesale merchant in Paris, acquired a foundry located in Friville in the Somme, France. There he produced mainly taps and floor traps for bathrooms and kitchens. The business was then passed down through the generations to preserve the brand’s identity and continue its pursuit of excellence.

Initially specializing in domestic sanitary fittings, Delabie quickly repositioned itself in the sector that now constitutes its core target market – buildings in the public domain and is a leading player in the non-domestic, sanitary fittings market. They are recognized as the European market leader for tap wares and sanitary accessories for the commercial as well as healthcare sector, and continue to grow by opening international subsidiaries throughout the globe.

Electronic Taps

The sleek lines incorporated into the design of their mixers create an urbanized feel without neglecting user comfort. Unlike your conventional washbasin mixers, the majority of Delabie’s mixers are fitted with an exclusive solution which effectively reduces temperature variations if there are pressure variations in the system.

Some of them have specifically designed interiors that reduce the volume of stagnant water in the tap’s body, and by doing so significantly reduces the risk of bacterial development. In addition to that, their Securitouch technology which was specifically designed for patients, the disabled, the elderly and children, provides increased safety for superior comfort. The entire mechanism is thermally insulated, preventing any risk of burns when touching the mixer.

Thermostatic Shower Mixers

SECURITHERM thermostatic technology ensures immediate hot water shut off if the cold water supply fails, as a failsafe to prevent scalding. The same is true for the opposite whereby if the hot water supply were to fail the cold water supply will be cut off to ensure there are no unpleasant shocks during your shower. Delabie’s sequential thermostatic mixers are supplied with a pre-set maximum temperature limiter as a security measure to avoid any unwanted injuries. They are also fitted with a flow rate regulator that ensures that you save up to 50% of water.

Hygiene Accessories

DELABIE’s Be-Line® grab bars and shower seats combine aesthetics and comfort. The innovative design of these grab bars and shower seats leave an aura of well-being, both at home and in the wider environment.

DELABIE’s stainless steel grab bars, shower seats and accessories are made from bacteriostatic 304 stainless steel which forms an invisible protective layer, shielding it from contact with air and water. This ensures that the surface remains bright, hard and smooth, preventing bacteria from easily adhering to the surface compared to other materials. Besides that, particular attention has been paid to the design of the bars to lessen the number of joins and seams, reducing the build-up of dirt and bacterial niches making them hygiene friendly.

Roca | Bathroom

Roca began life in 1917, originally as a manufacturer of cast iron radiators at its factory in Gavà, near Barcelona. From these humble origins, the company has grown into a global business driven by a firm focus on improving the quality of life for its customers. Roca first started producing vitreous china in 1936 and faucets in 1954 and continued to innovate with new designs, products and materials to ultimately provide the complete bathroom solution.

Its constant investment in design and product manufacturing, its entrepreneurial spirit and independence as a family-owned business, sets Roca apart and clearly demonstrates why the company has earned the recognition of being a referenced company in the bathroom space globally. The company now has over 22,600 employees, manufactures at 78 state-of-the-art facilities around the world and is active in over 170 markets.

Bathroom

Inspira

With the new Inspira collection the bathroom you wish for exists regardless of your personality and sense of style. The vitreous china and furniture collection, with 3 design lines –round, soft (with soft angles) and square, which can be perfectly combined, will bring a sense of finesse to bathroom spaces.

In Inspira, everything has been analyzed down to a tee. Basins with fine walls and white ceramic wastes deeply ingrained into the porcelain so that they go unnoticed, quick release seats and back to wall toilets for better cleaning, column units with internal lighting and a full body mirror, among many other details that make Inspira a classic collection.

Meridian

A gorgeous modern take on curves and soft edges, Meridian exudes simplicity and versatility that fits perfectly with any bathroom regardless of size or concept.

Meridian’s compact sink and cabinet solutions allow you to manage bathroom spaces while offering a multitude of combinations and designs for one to design their dream bathroom.

Atlas

This faucet collection, which stands out for its elegance and versatility, includes flow limiters as well as the Cold Start technology that guarantees better water and energy savings.

In Roca´s new generation of Cold Start faucets, the front opening is exclusively reserved to cold water; the handle needs to be turned to the left to obtain hot water gradually. It is then and only then that the boiler is switched on. This avoids something as common as the unintentional operation of the boiler making it a formula to save energy and ensure that there is no unnecessary emission of CO2 into the atmosphere.

American Standard | Bathroom

For nearly 140 years, American Standard has led the way in developing innovative bath and kitchen products that have set and re-set the standards for living healthy, living responsibly, and living beautifully.

Before American Standard, there was the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company that was founded in 1875, a product of a merger with several other small plumbing manufacturers. They pioneered many of the plumbing product improvements introduced in the early part of this century including the one-piece toilet, built-in tubs, combination faucets (which mix hot and cold water to deliver tempered water) and tarnish-proof, corrosion-proof chrome finishes for brass fittings. Not long after, it headed on to become the world’s largest producer of bathroom fixtures. It is a proud legacy that has made American Standard one of the most trusted brands in the industry.

Bathroom

Acacia E.

Inspired by form and simplicity, Acacia Evolution’s design exhibits soft, thin edges. It is also technologically equipped with a powerful flushing system, anti-bacterial touch-points. In addition to that, Acacia Evolution incorporates proguard; a revolutionary technology which is applied to the ceramics to inhibit the build-up of water stains, making cleaning a breeze.

Their Eco Handle outdoes the conventional mixer by releasing cold water upon lifting the lever which saves up to 30% of energy and only releases hot water when turned to the left. Their revolutionary click technology gives you better water volume control, by providing resistance midway when lifting the lever.

IDS

American Standard unveils three gorgeous collections under its IDS line, each unique in its form, for an unforgettable bathroom experience. IDS Clear is a product of when streamlined beauty meets functionality. A wide shelf and wash area makes for maximum enjoyment and easy cleaning. For those that have a taste for straight edged sophistication, IDS Dynamic is a reflection of pure minimalism in contemporary architecture, powerful lines and definitive proportions that evoke strength, charisma and rationality. Shaped like a pebble, the smooth, organic form of IDS Natural illustrates progressive architectural design with a touch of refined elegance.

Easy Set

Through integrated ergonomic designs and smart engineering, a comfortable and relaxing shower is now an everyday experience with just a convenient push and turn of a button.

Customize your perfect shower by simply pre-setting your preferred temperature and volume of water and enjoy the same shower experience each time, with EasySET. That means no more sudden scalding hot spurts or freezing cold shocks mid-shower to ruin your shower experience, making it great for families with young kids as well.

Geberit

The company’s humble beginnings took place in 1874 when founder, Caspar Melchior Geberit was granted work as a plumber. He also started to manufacture parts and designed the first wood-made cistern for toilets, called the Phoenix that was lead-coated and came with accessories (particularly a flush mechanism). A design born of such material was considered to be revolutionary and a great success.

During the next years, the company expanded through Switzerland and some foreign markets, incorporating new products (pipes, taps and valves). In the 30s, the company was one of the first to introduce plastic-made parts in the sanitary industry. Today, the globally operating Geberit Group is a European leader in the field of sanitary products. Geberit operates with a strong local presence in most European countries, providing unique solutions for sanitary technology and bathroom ceramics.

Actuator Plates

When you’re selecting the finishes for your bathroom design, it’s the little things that make all the difference. From the floor and wall coverings to the plumbing fixtures, everything has to be just right.

Fortunately, Geberit understands the importance of minute details. That’s why they offer you a wide range of flush plate options for use with their in-wall toilet and urinal systems. Geberit dual-flush plates feature a visual cue so that everyone approaching the system knows instantly how to operate it: press the small button to flush liquids and the large button to flush solids. It’s intuitive, but it also happens to save thousands of gallons of water every year.

Concealed Cisterns

Geberit concealed cisterns are the classics of modern bathroom installations and have been installed more than 70 million times over around the world for more than 55 years.

They are known for their time-honoured reliability. Every cistern is leak-tested before it is delivered. The 25-year guaranteed spare parts availability provides long-term security. The flush volume of the Geberit concealed cistern can be limited to 4.5 litres making it exemplary in terms of water consumption.

Kaldewei

A hundred years ago, KALDEWEI discovered that enamelled stainless steel was the perfect material for bathroom objects. They gathered experience, refined their techniques and revolutionised manufacturing, producing their first freestanding bathtub in 1934 and the first seamless bathtub made from a single sheet of steel in 1957. The unique quality of Kaldewei’s bathroom objects continues to benefit from this developmental head start right up to the present day.

Bathtubs

Be it models for small or large bathrooms, for one or two people, for corner installation or freestanding. An impressive selection of shapes and sizes with many added extras lets you create the bathtub of your dreams.

Their accessories are one of a kind, characterized by their faceted wall plates, the range takes the flat planes and intriguing angles of the brassware collection in highly polished chrome and marries them with frosted lead crystal beakers and soap dishes for that million dollar look.

Atrio

The circle as a shape has always been intriguing to the human mind, its element a clear representation of nature. In the eyes of Mathematicians and Philosophers, it is considered the most quintessential geometric shape. Atrio’s design stems from that very nature, its spout curved in the perfect arc of a semi-circle, while its body is cylindrical running the same diameter from base to top.

Crafted with care and hand-assembled, Atrio meets the highest standards of engineering and performance that GROHE is famous for. The Atrio collection means design without restrictions. Each item is available in various finishes and size options to meet the demands of one’s personal taste without overshadowing different design schemes.
