Exciting ways to update your bathroom sanitaryware.
Innovative flush flow
“While toilet rims can be a particular problem zone and require frequent thorough cleaning, this is not the case with toilets equipped with Duravit’s HygieneFlush technology. The innovation here is that the water flows through two openings at the same time, producing a vortex that generates a powerful flush and optimally cleans the entire inside of the toilet. Independent tests have confirmed the effectiveness of this technology.
“Innovative Duravit flushing technologies combined with the HygieneGlaze ceramic glaze offer hygiene, cleanliness and protection. The antibacterial glaze is permanently baked into the interior of the toilet or urinal up to the rim – i.e. precisely where E. coli bacteria for example are particularly commonly found.” – Karen Robyn, GM of Duravit
Hi-tech showers
“No more watching clean water go down the drain while your shower water heats up! Get hot water on demand and save money, water and energy with the Triton Xerophyte digital shower. It remembers your preferred shower temperature, flow and duration settings and is available exclusively from Tile Africa.” – Liza Watermeyer, visual display manager at Tile Africa
“The innovative Kohler Anthem digital control puts the control of your custom shower at your fingertips. A sleek, minimalist display lets you configure and control your outlets, temperature and flow, creating a personalised showering experience every time. Optional built-in eco mode lets you conserve water by using just one outlet at a time, and the summary screen helps to promote mindful water usage.” – Amadea Oberholzer, interior designer at Lifestyle Ceramics
Smart storage
“A modern bathroom is all about storage! Off-the-floor vanities and cabinets offer practical and hygienic storage with style. The VitrA Sento wall-hung cabinet offers an electrical point and integrated laundry basket. VitrA vanities are available in two sizes and a range of colours to choose from to personalise your space. All VitrA basins are coated with VitrA Hygiene, which inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria.” – Liza Watermeyer, visual display manager at Tile Africa
Smart toilets
“With home technology on the rise, Kohler’s Veil intelligent toilet range addresses bathroom technology in a sleek, contemporary fashion. With its clean, refined design lines the Veil range offers smart toilet functionality with minimal interruption to the overall bathroom space.
“Veil’s remote control is designed to comfortably fit into the user’s hand for one-touch control from its full menu of cleansing features including adjustable water temperature, nozzle position and function type, heated seat, dryer, deodoriser, night light and flush control. For enhanced hygiene, the bidet nozzle is self-cleaning and uses sterilised water. UV light is used to wipe out all bacteria from the wand.
“Veil is equipped with an exceptional flushing system featuring a rimless bowl for a cleaner flush, dual jets to create strong, efficient flushing and powerful water flow to eliminate bowl residue. Veil will even flush automatically 10 seconds after you have left the room!” – Amadea Oberholzer, interior designer at Lifestyle Ceramics
Luxury hygiene
“The pandemic forced people to seek refuge within their homes, and a trend of the home as a source of retreat and calm from a chaotic outside world continues post-pandemic. Bathrooms have gained new meaning in the home space where they have transformed into a personal oasis of wellbeing, a sanctuary within one’s own home.
“Rising living costs have also led to more consumers being unable to afford luxury spa treatments and weekends away, and people in general have recognised the benefits of ongoing self-care practices. Long soaks in the bath tub or invigorating and luxurious showers as a form of personal care have led to a rise in the demand for luxury hygiene products such as GROHE Spa.
“Open-plan bathrooms have turned to a home spa focus, where this unified place of rest has become a relaxing experience for body, mind and soul after a long day.” – Patrick Speck, leader of LIXIL Global Design
