1 Building design, hygiene and quality into new washroom projects

2 Expertise everywhere Geberit s leadership within sanitary technology and all-round expertise in concealed bathroom design make us the choice for architects, specifying engineers and planners. Our broad product range satisfies the most demanding standards of design, durability and hygiene in public, semi-public and residential installations. Office blocks Fire protection installation systems and flexible flush plates designs are just two of the options available to office blocks. Private homes We offer aesthetically designed, reliable and cost-effective flush plates but the beauty of our products is far from just skin deep.

3 Airports One-piece moulded cisterns are one of the many robust and reliable products available for heavily frequented public toilets. Hotels Hotel rooms must be hygienic, so Geberit supplies flushing systems that automatically refresh drinking water in periods of low usage. Retirement homes Extra handrail fixtures to aid elderly or disabled users are an example of how Geberit products can be adapted to changing circumstances in our customers lives.

4 What lies behind the best-designed bathrooms? Knowledge, innovation and integration together these form our guiding philosophy: Know-How Installed. We employ all three in the development of products that are beautifully designed, efficient, reliable, hygienic and user-friendly. And nowhere are these benefits more important than in public washrooms. As the most communal rooms in any building, these deserve the utmost attention to quality and comfort. All Geberit products are designed for swift and easy installation, making them the ideal choice for building projects of every scale. Reliability Our concealed cisterns are moulded in one robust piece, radically reducing the likelihood of leakage.

5 Design Our flush plates are now available in stylish new designs with customisation options. Water saving Geberit touchless, automatic one-litre flush technology greatly reduces water waste. Hygiene The concept behind our touchless taps is as simple as it is advanced: no touching = no germs.

6 Drawn together in perfect harmony

7 Our new range of flush plates for toilets and urinals* are designed to complement each other perfectly and create one harmonious expression throughout the bathroom. Now you can enjoy the design freedom offered by Sigma flush plates. These are available as single and dual flush models and in a selection of colours and surfaces. Both are fully compatible with the UP300 and new UP320 concealed cisterns. * Urinal plates available from

8 Improving the concept of hands-off hygiene

9 Optimal hygiene is the foundation of bathroom design. Thanks to improved sensor technology, Geberit hygienic touchless urinal flush plates and taps now boast even greater reliability and durability. Sensor-operated taps Geberit HyTronic electronic washbasin taps are entirely sensor-operated. Their reliable performance is complemented by their hygienic self-flushing function. Urinal flush plates* Our touchless flush plates for urinals enable a greater hygiene level in any public bathroom. * Urinal plates available from Toilet flush plates Geberit touchless flushing options feature sensors that react to either a waving hand or the body moving away from the toilet seat.

10 A water-tight investment

11 Look closely at the body of our concealed cisterns and you won t find a single joint or seam. This is thanks to state-of-the-art onepiece plastic mold production, which means there is no danger of cracks forming anywhere. The new UP320 is truly an extremly reliable long-term investment. The UP320 joins a host of Geberit innovations designed for long-term cost-effectiveness. These include dual flush and one litre flush options. Dual flush Save water by selecting the appropriate flushing technology: single flush (six litres) or dual flush (six or three litres). One-litre flush for urinals Save even more water by letting one litre do the work of more conventional three litre volumes.

12 Room for expression By keeping the unsightly out of sight, Geberit concealed elements create a calm design, even in the more limited spaces of hotel room bathrooms. And it s never just a question of looks. Behind every Geberit surface is a fascinating ensemble of innovations. Hygiene When fixtures aren t used for some time, the water stagnates. Automatic sanitary flushing from Geberit replaces the potable water in pipes on a regular basis.

13 Design Our new toilet and urinal flush plate ranges are perfectly matched in appearance and quality, with the possibility to select the inlay of your choice. Safety and comfort Geberit also integrates fire protection and noise reduction into its installation systems.

14 Changing the face of creativity

18 Nature is full of fresh ideas

19 Geberit s hygiene flush system overcomes the problem of water stagnating in the pipes. This compact concealed unit is ideal for schools, hotels and hospitals, etc. where water facilities may stand unused for longer periods of time. Automatic sanitary flushing ensures the hygiene standard in potable water systems is maintained by replacing the water in the hot and/or cold water pipes on a regular basis.

20 Home comforts There is more to a Geberit bathroom than meets the eye. Look closely and you will see the many innovations that contribute to a bathroom experience of complete comfort.

PushControl bath trap The push actuator s flat design allows two people to sit comfortably in the bath. The drain can be fitted into most standard bath tubs. The lower trap enables the inlet height to be lowered. Chrome popup and filler bath trap Geberit bath trap assemblies have been tried and tested in millions of applications; the water is emptied from the tubs reliably and without the typical gurgling noise. The trap can be opened and closed by turning the overflow rosette without having to immerse hands in water.

23 Where form and function become one

24 The height of individuality

25 We know that one size doesn t fit all, so we have designed Duofix frames to allow more flexiable and individual designs meeting all design requirements. Corner frame The corner frame makes the traditionally difficult corner situation into a stylish design feature and often helps save valuable floor space. Disabled frame The disabled frame is designed to accommodate fixings for support handles and, during installation, height of WC can be adjusted between 410mm to 460mm.

26 One sound barrier that can t be broken

27 Can you really hear comfort? Absolutely. And the less you hear the better. Take for example our flush plates: these are mounted on rubber nodes for almost silent operation. And that s only one of countless Geberit product features designed specifically for sound reduction. Silent-db20 drainage pipe Constructed from a composite of barium sulfate and polyethylene, the Silent-db20 drainage pipe system reduces the noise of draining water. Filling valve Despite being the most complex mechanisms in our cisterns, Geberit filling valves emit next to no noise.

28 When nothing but the best will do The Hotel Splendid in Montenegro played a starring role in the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale. An exclusive five-star retreat on the Adriatic Riviera, Hotel Splendid offers its guests nothing but the very best in luxury, design and quality. No surprise then that the architects selected Geberit sanitary elements throughout. Amongst other solutions, Geberit supplied the hotel with no less than 400 Duofix WC frames and 400 flush plates with satinox surfaces. Hotel Splendid s drainage system boasts 3615 metres of Silent-db20 pipes and its water supply network includes 2678 meters of Mapress high-grade steel pipes.
