Various decisions need to be taken before buying a bathroom faucet. The variety of available faucet ranges is simply endless. They differ mainly in terms of design, function, and price. Aspects such as durability and the economical usage of water and energy are becoming increasingly important. Various factors need to be taken into account in the search for the right faucet.
Timelessly modern versatility of design
Decisions taken on the installation of a new bathroom are primarily based on aesthetics. It is worth bearing in mind in the decision-making process that a bathroom needs to remain appealing for 15 years or more. Timelessly modern design is deeply rooted in Duravit’s DNA. Product management, the internal development team, an international supplier network as well as external designers such as Philippe Starck, Kurt Merki Jr., Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez, and Bertrand Lejoly collaborate to develop faucets and shower sprays. Duravit’s faucet and shower spray lines offer a wide range of design variants for various style collections and a holistic bathroom design. What is more, there is something for every budget, at a consistently high design quality, and with the durable, easy-to-clean surface options Chrome and Black Matt.
Faucet applications for the whole bathroom
Duravit offers single-lever mixers in a range of sizes (S–XL) with an optimum height for all washbasins, from handrinse basins through washbowls. As a complete bathroom supplier, Duravit aspires to offer something for every part of the bathroom: from the washbasin through the shower and bathtub, as surface-mounted and flush-mounted versions.
The Duravit BlueBox®, a universal installation system for a range of faucet designs (lever mixers or thermostats), is used for concealed installation. This allows the design decision to be taken even after the basic set has been installed.
Matching range of shower sprays
Shower sprays are the perfect addition in every area – whether in the shower or on the bathtub. Duravit’s optimized range of shower sprays offers something for every taste and application. With hand showers and showerheads at a range of price points and featuring different spray modes and surfaces, a tailored selection can be made in every case. Functions such as EasyClean for ease of cleaning or the Click! technology for changing spray mode at the push of a button enhance convenience and comfort. A range of designs, from the classic, wide-diameter hand shower through the minimalistic hand shower wand with a cylindrical or square design also guarantee that the optics will be just perfect.
As practical all-in-one-solutions, the shower systems as a single-lever or thermostat variant make showering enjoyable and are also an ideal renovation solution without requiring complex in-wall work.
Comfortable operation
Ergonomically designed handles that feel pleasant in the hand are a key feature in designing faucets that are comfortable and easy to use. This enables water quantity and temperature to be set exactly.
Thermostat faucets for the shower and bathtub are available as an alternative to single-lever mixers: the advantage of these is that they can be set to the desired temperature, which ensures constant water temperature and irons out fluctuations in pressure.
Sustainable economy functions
The Duravit faucets and shower sprays use intelligent technologies
to offer concrete economical benefits.
In the center position, energy-saving washbasin faucets with a FreshStart function only produce cold water to start with. Hot water is only added when the handle is deliberately moved to the left. This reduces energy requirements and lowers energy costs and CO2 emissions as hot water is only used in situations where it is actually needed. Cold water is perfectly adequate for washing hands, cleaning teeth, and watering plants.
With a flow rate of 5.5 l/minute, all Duravit washbasin faucets are sparing in their consumption of hot water and energy. The MinusFlow faucets are more sparing still, with a flow rate limited to 3.5 l/minute. The AirPlus technology additionally adds air to the water jet, creating a gentle, voluminous stream.
There are also enormous potential savings for water and energy especially when it comes to showering: Compared to standard showers, Duravit MinusFlow hand showers have a reduced flow rate of up to 40%, rising to as much as 60% on the showerheads (MinusFlow showerheads = 9 L/minute, standard hand showers 15 l/minute, standard showerheads 25 l/minute).
Quality and guarantee
Duravit uses high-quality materials for all faucets, for instance reliable ceramic cartridges for a long service life. Before they are launched on the market, the faucets are subjected to stringent tests in terms of washing comfort and splashing behavior. This guarantees the Duravit Best Match: A configurator developed in-house by Duravit helps users find the best combination of faucets and ceramics for any washing area: www.duravit.com/bestmatch
Duravit offers a voluntary five-year guarantee on all faucets and shower sprays. Spare parts are kept available for a whole 15 years after each product line is discontinued.
