In
Line with the Trend: Individual Missel Bathroom Design
'Glass décor holds an important position in modern bathroom design, and new washbasin shapes are also gaining ground. The innovative Missel product ideas are exactly in line with the latest trends and set the tone in this bathroom.' says the company.
Innovative bathroom design with Missel compact
element washbasin for wall fittings, compact element bidet, and compact
toilet cistern
This
interior design is the combination of three Missel compact elements to
make an attractive ensemble. The corner placement enables the WC and the
bidet to face diagonally into the room. This brings not only dynamics
into the floor plan but also allows for freedom of movement. The compact
element washbasin for wall fittings gives an effective presentation of
the up-to-the-minute glass washbasin. The glass décor is satin-finished
in platinum grey and clads the compact toilet cistern and the compact
element bidet, with harmonious results. A practical addition would be
the four glass décor corner shelves, which blend into the décor
of the compact elements.
All Missel's compact elements come ready fitted with effective sound insulation.
Glass décor is playing an ever-greater role in contemporary bathroom
design. Missel is meeting this trend with innovative product ideas. Here
the two compact elements with their decorative glass design harmonise
perfectly with the beautiful glass washbasin.

Intelligence
by Dornbracht: new Technical Solutions
Dornbracht,
the international manufacturer of designer fittings, accessories and interiors,
presented a number of new technical products and ideas at this year’s
SHK in Essen. Unusual installation situations of fittings, such as with
Dornbracht’s flush-fit valves, with the flush-fit two- and three-way
change-over, and with cross-cut ceramic tops on wash stand wall mixers,
can be solved. Thanks to the technology, installed flush-fit items always
project to the same extent, creating a balanced, harmonious appearance
in the bathroom.
The body of the flush-fit valve is made of corrosion-proof DR brass, and
is easy to install by means of integrated fixation strips. It is available
in various dimensions such as 1ž2" and 3ž4" thread connections,
or 15mm and 22mm weld connections. The ceramic top comes with water lubrication
for permanent ease of use. Thanks to the combination of the cross-cut
spindle and the brass sleeve, these flush-fit items facilitate a large
depth balance of up to 80mm.
The new flush-fit two- and three-way change-overs also use the same technology
of the cross-cut turning spindle and brass sleeve. Irrespective of the
fitted depth of the flush-fit body, here too the projection remains the
same and cross-cutting is no longer necessary. The water protection sleeve
is embedded in the alternative (provided by the client) seal on both the
flush-fit valve and on the flush-fit two- and three-way change-overs for
easily installed, completely safe water protection for the wall. Protective
caps are provided to protect the functional parts during the construction
stage.
The new cross-cut rotating spindle with brass sleeves on the ceramic top
also makes it easier to install the Dornbracht wash stand wall mixers.
There are two designs for pre-assembly: a flush-fit body with a fixed
calibre of 200mm, and individual flush-fit valves for individual arrangement
of the operating elements and the outlet. From June 2004 the wash stand
wall mixers will be supplied with the new xControl ceramic tops with improved
adjustment.
The flush-fit valves, flush-fit two- and three-way change-overs and the
wash stand mixer batteries with new technology are available for all Dornbracht
series. A TechniPlan brochure with examples and technical information
is available for the new flush-fit valves.
Installing
Dornbracht’s new flush-fit valves is easy:
(1) After pre-assembling and flowing, cut off the protective cover
and screw in the top and the sleeve. Then position the sleeve, collar
and handle. Measure the distance to the wall, and cut this size equally
from the spindle and the sleeve.
(2) Now screw the cross-cut spindle, the sleeve and the fitting handle
into place.
(3) The intelligent technology of the flush-fit valves facilitates
an even projection.

MEM
Growing with People’s Requirements
Dornbracht,
the international manufacturer of designer fittings, accessories and interiors,
highlighted the continued development of MEM at this year’s SHK in
Essen (16 - 20 March 04). The overall concept was complemented by new
products, technical extensions and a specially developed POS system for
trade and retailers. MEM was developed by Dornbracht in collaboration
with Sieger Design (product design). The agency Meiré and Meiré
was responsible for the room concept and communications. As well consisting
of specific products, MEM defines bathroom designs of the future, defining
it as an individualised space for personal wellbeing. In order to introduce
retailers to the crossover concept of MEM, Dornbracht offers training
on the subject of ritual architecture.
Design, award, new products
With the flat, wide outlet, MEM fittings embody a new, elementary aesthetic
in fittings. At the red dot award, the MEM three-hole fitting for wash
stands received the highly coveted 'best of the best' award for highest
design quality in the category product design 2004.
The fittings also meet Dornbracht's standards for technical quality. The
new MEM side shower has an integrated anti-limescale system, and is available
with and without flow regulation for individual adjustment. Other new
products are the three-hole wall fittings for wash stands with a continuous
top or individual rosettes. The MEM surge inlet is a special product for
the bathtub that enables the bather to experience a torrent of fresh water
while bathing. There is also an extensive programme of accessories for
a fully co-ordinated bathroom.
Innovative technology
In the bath and shower area, MEM has now also been fitted with Dornbracht's
flush-fit techniques xStream and xTool. With a flow of up to 42 litres
per minute, the flush-fit single-lever mixer enables the bather to fill
the bath very quickly and with ease - most current mixers fill at just
26 l/min. In the shower, the high flow (38 litres per minute) can be used
for the head or hand shower and up to six side showers simultaneously.
The flush fitting is particularly small and therefore very easy to install.
Pre-fabricated flush fitting xTool also saves the need for extensive installation
planning with MEM and makes it much easier to fit in the shower. The thermostat
module consists of a central thermostat and up to three valves. This means
the user can use the head, hand and side showers independently or together.
The thermostat module facilitates a high flow even when three valves are
open and precise control of the water temperature.
Good advice on display
A specially developed POS system for MEM offered plenty of opportunities
for individual presentation at the exhibition. As well as a freestanding
presentation block with an integrated fitting which can be equipped with
its own tank and pump system for flowing water, product samples on an
acrylic plinth and MEM ceiling hangers were also available for customer
presentations. A new MEM customer brochure offers inspiration and ideas
for new bathroom designs.
Missel
Compact Elements Increase the Convenience of Sanitary Ware for the Elderly
and the Handicapped
Two
main features are essential in the field of sanitary products designed
to meet the special needs of older or handicapped people effectively:
a reliable grip, and sanitary fittings mounted at a greater height. With
the Missel compact elements senior,
washbasins, WCs, and bidets can be installed at the height that elderly
and handicapped people prefer. The necessary wall-supported or hinged
handles can be fastened, or even retrofitted, to the two compact basis
elements, which are fitted on both sides with watertight plywood panels.
The compact elements are simply installed on the wall and covered in with
the Missel closed cell tiling panel. This is armoured on both sides with
glass-fibre fabric weave and coated with plastic-treated mortar, so that
the tiles can be hung without any further treatment. The stable and impact-resistant
Missel tiling panel is mounted with self-cutting screws to the torsion-resistant
Missel compact elements.

Kohler
Bubblemassage™ Baths Drive Innovation with Customisable Experiences
and Myriad Designs
Kohler
Co.,
a specialist in kitchen and bath design, introduces rejuvenating BubbleMassage
airjet technology to its Experience and ProFlex whirlpool bath collections.
The new BubbleMassage baths provide consumer customisation by allowing
the bather to control both the massage intensity and on Experience BubbleMassage
baths, the specific massage location. Additionally varying tub shapes,
designs, installation options and easy cleaning all contribute to the
flexibility Kohler BubbleMassage baths offer bathers.
'Consumers
increasingly report that they want customisation when it comes to their
bathing fixtures,' said Mike Moldenhauer, director of marketing for Kohler
bathing products. 'Our Experience and ProFlex whirlpools already offer
several water experience options, but with the introduction of our BubbleMassage
baths to these collections, we have added even more customisation to the
water experience, including variable-speed control and, on some models,
individual massage zones.'
Numerous Design Options
Kohler research has found that consumers are looking for specific design
styles when it comes to baths – designs that match other fixtures
in the bathroom or designs with a neutral aesthetic that can fit a variety
of environments. The Kohler Experience and ProFlex BubbleMassage baths
offering includes eight models that provide a broad selection of designs,
shapes and sizes, and flexible installation options to address these customer
needs. BubbleMassage technology is offered on the following Experience
and ProFlex bath models:
Experience
Purist™
Memoirs® 6’
Portrait™ 5.5’
Revival™ 6’
ProFlex
Devonshire™ 5’ (drop-in and integral apron)
Mariposa™ 6’ (drop-in and integral apron)
Serif™
Sojourn™
Like all Kohler fixtures, Experience and ProFlex BubbleMassage baths are
offered in numerous Kohler colours allowing further customisation to the
bathroom décor.
Customisable Water Experience
Kohler Experience and ProFlex BubbleMassage baths have been designed to
provide a water experience that is controlled completely by the bather.
A variable-speed blower/motor allows consumers to enjoy a light, bubbling
experience or a powerful, invigorating massage, with several levels of
intensity in between. A 'surge' feature combines the variable-speed range
of experiences into one cycle that continuously sequences from light bubbles
to a powerful massage for an enhanced hydrotherapy experience.
Specifically the Experience BubbleMassage baths have three individual
Zones of Control™ – one at each end and midsection – that
enable the bather to direct a bubbling massage action to targeted areas.
A single zone or any combination of these three zones can be activated
to provide special massage emphasis on a particular portion of the body.
For example, the zones at each end of the bath provide a concentrated
massage to just the bather’s feet or back, while the midsection zone
offers a concentrated massage at the bather’s leg and hip area. Experience
BubbleMassage baths also offer a chromatherapy option with eight different
colour sequences from four LED lights to create a home spa bathing environment.
Both Experience and ProFlex BubbleMassage baths have an electronic keypad
to control the intensity of the massage. The Experience BubbleMassage
bath keypad is lighted and directs the Zones of Control, surge and chromatherapy
features. These baths also include a floating remote control to provide
bathers with added convenience and comfort as they can adjust the bathing
experience without changing their positions in the bath.
Airjet Design
With approximately 120 airjets precisely positioned on the lower perimeter
of the bath, the BubbleMassage bath airjet design ensures that the bubbling
action is balanced throughout the bath, even at low speeds. The result
is a complete and refreshing bubbling experience at any air flow speed.
In addition the airjet design also provides for an easy wipedown during
cleaning.
Ease of Maintenance
One of the key benefits of the Kohler Experience and ProFlex BubbleMassage
baths is the ease of cleaning that these fixtures offer via a 'purge'
feature and a smooth interior surface. Both Experience and ProFlex BubbleMassage
baths come equipped with an automatic purge feature that removes any residual
water from the air harness system once the bath is drained after use.
BubbleMassage baths also have a manual purge feature, available at the
touch of a button on the keypad, which is especially convenient to use
following a shower to remove residual moisture. The smooth interior surface
makes it easy to clean the bath as there are no protruding ports to contend
with.
Additional Features
For added bather comfort, both Experience and ProFlex BubbleMassage baths
come with an integral heater. Experience BubbleMassage baths can be easily
installed anywhere around the world, as they are equipped with 240-volt,
single-service plug-in cords. ProFlex BubbleMassage baths come standard
with 120-volt plug-in cords. Both models have remote blower/motor capabilities,
providing added convenience during the installation process.

Hewi
Range 440 – With a Highly Polished Chrome-Plated Finish
Hewi
has developed its 440 sanitary range with 'well-being in the bathroom'
specifically in mind. Their high-quality and material mixes comprising
satin-finished glass, coloured synthetics and metal components are characteristic
of the accessories.
Range
440 products with a matt, chrome-plated metal finish have been on the
market since 1999. 2004 sees the range being expanded to include a highly
polished chrome-plated finish. 'The distinctive styling and satin-finished
glass are made to look even more brilliant thanks to their combination
with the new highly polished chrome-plated finish. What is more, the fittings
used in the bathroom can thus be visually complemented to an even greater
degree', Markus Sattler, product manager ‘Sanitary’, explained.
The 29 various accessories allow the bathroom to be personalised to meet
the given user’s specific needs. The combination of functionality
and attractive design is also a feature of Range 440, providing a stylish
and individual bathroom outfit.
The colours available with Range 440 allow co-ordinated bathroom design
– pure white and jet black make a timeless, understated impression.
The mineral blue colour option brings freshness into the bathroom, while
the pastel shades buttermilk yellow and apricot orange give it a friendly,
pleasant look. In conjunction with the two metal finishes high-polish
and matt chrome-plated, there is plenty of scope for achieving an optimum
bathroom design.
In addition to high standards of quality and styling, great attention
was also paid to the materials used to ensure that Range 440 is as easy-care
as it is robust and therefore user-friendly. Assembly and/or installation
of the accessories can be carried out easily.

The
new Meta.02 accessories complete the minimalistic programme for the bathroom
by Dornbracht, the international manufacturer
of designer fittings, accessories and interiors. These new accessories
were developed on the basis of the successful Meta.02 fittings. Designed
by Sieger Design, they were introduced at this year’s SHK in Essen
(16 - 20.03.04).
With Meta.02, Dornbracht addresses the subject of minimalism and interprets
it for the bathroom and guest WC. The straight lines of these mitred accessories
are both striking and appealing. By complementing the existing range of
Meta.02 products with these new accessories, the company is minimising
an entire bathroom programme. The products for the wash stand, bathtub,
shower and WC offer extensive solutions. The programme includes shelves,
towel holders in various designs and sizes, paper holders and toilet brush
sets for wall and floor.
The language of shape is also evident in the new glass holder with wall
connection: matt crystal glass is used for basic cylindrical shape, creating
a single unit of holder and glass. The new soap dish consists of a chrome-plated
brass body, its rounded lines harmonising with the wall attachment. The
new Meta.02 accessories - which can also be combined with the Tara, Tara
Classic, Meta Pur and Yota ranges - are available now.

New
Shower Bath Added to Oracle Collection
Sottini
has recently launched the Oracle Shower Bath, an addition to the company’s
Oracle bathroom range.
The Oracle range has been designed by Robin Levien RDI, the British designer
internationally recognised for his contribution to bathroom design. The
inspiration for the Oracle range is a perfect circle with smooth lines
that offer a timeless look with a modern appeal. This theme is echoed
in the shape of the new shower bath.
The 1700 x 700mm footprint of the Oracle Shower Bath extends to 900mm
to give a generous showering area at one end while the bath's narrow rim
has been designed to maximise the inner bathing space. The bath is made
from Idealcast, a composite material that is as strong as steel but as
light as, and with the heat retaining properties of acrylic.
Marketing manager Brian Grey tells us: ‘We have produced some great
bath designs at Sottini in recent years and, for me, the new Oracle bath
is the best combination bath that I have seen so far. It is a fabulous
bath and using Idealcast has enabled us to maximise the space inside the
bath, by virtue of the narrow rim, which can only be achieved with the
Idealcast process.’

Water
Saving Duoflush Enhances Heavy Duty Cistern
'The
Tri-Shell from Thomas Dudley Ltd is
the market-leading, toughest heavy-duty plastic cistern.’ says the
company.
An advanced manufacturing process known as sandwich foam moulding gives
the shell of the cistern a rock hard cellular core. This makes it virtually
indestructible and, with well over one million installations, the Dudley
Tri-Shell has established a reputation for trouble free operation whilst
withstanding the roughest of use.
Not wishing to rest on their laurels, Thomas Dudley has enhanced the Tri-Shell
by supplying the low level models with the new water-saving Dudley Turbo
88 Duoflush syphon. This syphon has full and reduced flushing capabilities
to comply with the Regulator’s Specification and provides water saving
benefits when fitted in 9, 7 and 6 litre installations.
All Tri-Shells have a permanent high gloss, ceramic-look finish which
will not degrade with use and are supplied with vandal resistant screw
down lids and durable metal levers. An automatic version of the Tri-Shell
is also available.

Haro
Offers Uncompromising Hygiene - Anti-Bacterial Toilet Seats with 'ActiveShield'
Anti-bacterial
and anti-fungal protection against microbes, germs and fungus has for
many years been successfully adopted for such products as shower curtains,
running shoes or chopping boards. In the meantime, the implementation
of this process has now been carried over to sanitary products. German
manufacturer, Haro Sanitary currently
produces and distributes anti-bacterial treated toilet seats in its product
range 'CareLine'.
These seats with the 'ActiveShield' protection were predominantly developed
for medical areas - e.g. clinics, care and rehabilitation centres. Here,
hygiene is one of the most important requirements for all used materials.
For sanitary facilities in public areas such as restaurants, petrol stations,
train stations, sport- and event centres, which encounter a strong germ
exposure, Haro Sanitary Toilet Seats with 'ActiveShield' offer a wide
field of application.
The seats are treated with an anti-bacterial additive using a technique
developed by Haro Sanitary in co-operation with a business partner. The
inorganic agent slows down - on the basis of a natural bacterial defense
through silver ions - the settlement and spreading of various bacterial
cultures on the seat surface and kills them in a fixed time period. The
ingredients of 'ActiveShield' are often used in cosmetic products - they
are both colourless and odourless as well as dermatologically harmless.
The Haro Sanitary CareLine with 'ActiveShield' is available in three models
and is suitable for all common ceramics. The seats also come fitted with
a FastFix-Hinge for a particularly fast, stable and secure installation.
Hamberger Industriewerke GmbH in Rosenheim near Munich, Germany, today
is the largest manufacturer of WC seats having its production facilities
in Germany. The Sanitary Ware division has been manufacturing WC seats
made of wood and plastics since 1912, with the development of its own
designs and ingenious hinge technology forming the basis of its success.
The enterprise which was founded in 1866 is today managed by Peter Hamberger
and Dr. Peter M. Hamberger, in the fourth and fifth generations.
Besides the Sanitary Ware division, Hamberger Industriewerke also includes
the divisions Interior Decoration comprising hardwood, veneer, laminate
and cork flooring as well as panelling, Sports Flooring, and Farming and
Forestry.
With a staff of approx. 1300 employees and on a production area of 250
000 m2 (i.e. approx. 60 acres), an annual turnover of approx. 200 million
Euro is achieved. The export share of the company is over 35%; exports
are world-wide into more than 50 countries.

Roca’s 2004 Collection Highlights
The Happening Suite
The overall design concept of Happening is simple yet effective in terms
of aesthetics – the rounded curves combined with flattened sides
create a suite that will add a dimension of style to any bathroom. The
suite comprises 560mm or 800mm basin options that are available with or
