Geberit exhibits Duofix frame system at Bathroom & Kitchen EXPO

(08/03/2007)

Geberit will exhibit new products at this year’s Bathroom & Kitchen EXPO. Visitors to the Geberit stand will also find live demonstrations and a range of products on display, such as the Geberit Duofix frame system.

A new trend that is taking the UK market by storm, wall hung offers a sleek modern look where all unsightly pipework is hidden. Popular amongst designers, wall-hung sanitaryware can already be found in many new leisure establishments including hotels, bars and restaurants, and is becoming a standard product in domestic bathrooms.

Key to a good wall hung bathroom is a sturdy and reliable frame system such as Geberit Duofix. Concealed behind walls and tiles, Geberit Duofix is a durable metal frame that supports wall-hung sanitaryware. Frames are bolted to the floor and placed within the walls.

Visitors to the Geberit stand will see how easy it is to install and maintain Duofix which comes complete with all essential pipework and integral sound insulated cistern. Access to the inside of the cistern is through the flush plate, the only visible aspect of the wall hung system.

Geberit Duofix frames are available in three different heights for wall hung WCs, bidets, washbasins and urinals. The frame system can be used in the tightest of spaces, allowing designers to create stunning new bathrooms without the expensive structural work.

Simon Spridgeon, Sanitary Systems Product Manager for Geberit, said: “A clean and modern finish can be achieved with no visible pipework. Suitable for both commercial and domestic use, Geberit Duofix is the backbone to Geberit’s bathroom system.”

The full range of Geberit’s flush plates will also be on show at the company’s exhibition stand.

Available in different styles, flush formats, colours and finishes, the flush plate display will include the new Kappa50 dual flush plate. Made out of stainless steel with sleek straight lines and a gloss chrome finish, the new Kappa50 is perfect for any modern bathroom.

Live demonstrations of Geberit’s new wall hung shower toilet are also a must-see at this year’s B&K Expo. Exclusively designed for the luxury market, the Balena 8000 UP is a revolutionary shower toilet that will transform the bathroom experience.

Functioning as a WC and bidet in one, the Balena 8000 UP offers users complete confidence in cleanliness and personal hygiene. A whole host of benefits such as an air purification system are included alongside the warm, gentle shower spray and dry air function.

Other products exhibited at the Geberit stand are a series of new infra-red taps, and traps for basins, baths and shower trays. A concealed cistern for floor standing WCs in low height furniture will also be on display.
