In many modern bathrooms, fittings, bathtubs, furniture and tiles bear the signature of well-known designers. However, it is of course not just about beauty, but also about efficiency: for example, when it comes to the economical use of water or accessibility. Architects and bathroom planners have now lost their fear of open-plan bathroom concepts. Bedrooms and living areas are merging with the bathroom, with the result that the sanitary ceramics, fittings and accessories must meet the highest design and functional standards.

Shower channel in timeless black
The color black positions itself in fashion, interior design and architecture as a timeless attitude rather than a fashionable trend. An independence that many designers love, because black always brings the true quality to light. Dallmer, a specialist in drainage technology, has harnessed the aesthetic power of black in the development of its “Black Edition”. The curated products make a statement in terms of elegance and modernity in the bathroom. Each element can be perfectly integrated into the bathroom design and showcases functionality down to the last detail – whether as part of a monochrome concept or as a deliberate accent. Dallmer achieves the elegant black finish using different techniques, depending on the product: the resistant black PVD coatingof the “CeraFloor Select” shower channels from the “DallFlex” shower channel family was originally developed for parts of sports engines that are subject to heavy loads. Now it is also showing its strengths in the bathroom.
Available in extra length
Dallmer has developed the “CeraFloor Select Duo” for extra-wide shower areas : the first black stainless steel shower channel that can be manufactured in lengths of up to 2 meters with a high-quality PVD coating. This is ideal for central, decentralized or near-wall installation within the shower area. In combination with the Duo drain bodies from the DallFlex system family, reliable drainage with increased drainage capacity is guaranteed. The integrated cross slope guides the water on the rail directly to the drainage point.

Bathroom design for everyone
Designing sanitary facilities that are both pleasant and barrier-free is a challenge. Delabie has once again taken on this task in the spirit of design for all. The latest result is the “Be-Line” product range. This stands for the combination of comfort and aesthetics in public spaces. The elegant yet discreet shapes of the products blend naturally into the space and blur the often stigmatizing care home character of barrier-free equipment for people who are partially, temporarily or permanently restricted. With their flat front, the round Be-Line grab rails prevent the hand from twisting on the handle. Their distance from the wall is minimized so that the space required is as small as possible and the risk of broken bones in the event of a fall is reduced. The grab rails are available in aluminum powder-coated matt white, matt black or anthracite metallic. The folding shower seats are not only foldable, but can also be removed and replaced with a wall bracket so that they are only used when needed. The wide anti-slip surface provides a feeling of safety and well-being. Like all Delabie accessibility products, the Be-Line range comes with a safety package, including a 30-year guarantee and that the products have been tested to more than 200 kilograms. The intergenerational design of the Be-Line range is suitable for all users, regardless of age or level of independence.

The CleanLine50 replaces the previous CleanLine60. The special feature of the new shower channel is that it has an integrated slope. This ensures that the shower water is drained away even faster. The CleanLine50 is available in brushed stainless steel and black chrome and in lengths of 900 and 1,300 millimetres. It can be easily shortened to the right length and adapted to the width of the shower surface. Like other shower channels from Geberit, the CleanLine50 is also very easy to clean.
