Geberit reports interest in Duofix frames at B&K Expo

(13/06/2007)

Geberit has reported strong interest in its range of products and its promotion of the wall-hung sanitaryware concept at this year’s Bathroom & Kitchen EXPO.

Geberit’s Duofix system is a durable metal frame which is concealed behind walls and tiles and supports wall-hung sanitaryware. It is ideal for transforming bathrooms, either modernising an existing bathroom or creating a feature bathroom as part of a new building project.

Visitors to the Geberit stand at the show saw how wall-hung toilets give a feeling of additional space in bathrooms and live demonstrations also showed how Duofix can be simply and easily installed and serviced.

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. Frames are bolted to the floor and placed within the walls. Duofix also 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, Head of Product Management for Geberit, said: “We had a great response to our Duofix system at the show. Visitors could see that a clean and modern finish can be achieved with no visible pipework. Suitable for both domestic and commercial use, Geberit Duofix is the backbone to Geberit’s bathroom system.”

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

Available in different styles, flush formats, colours and finishes, the flush plate display included the new Kappa50 dual flush plate. Manufactured from high quality zinc 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 were the highlight of this year’s B&K Expo. Exclusively designed for the luxury market, the Balena 8000 is a revolutionary shower toilet that will transform the bathroom experience.

Functioning as a WC and bidet in one, the Balena 8000 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 were 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 was also on display.
