Ideal Standard unveils its solutions for hotel bathrooms

Like the bedroom, the bathroom is the centrepiece of a hotel, as it is considered a major criterion in guests' choice when booking. To offer guests an experience of absolute comfort while meeting requirements for hygiene, durability and resistance, this room receives particular attention during its design or renovation. Benefiting from Ideal Standard's commitment to innovation and sustainable development, the bathroom equipment offered by the brand has every asset needed to meet the demanding criteria expected in the hospitality sector.

Aesthetic, functional and sustainable
A place of relaxation and well-being, the hotel bathroom, even a small one, must be welcoming and ergonomic to offer a high level of comfort. Moreover, through its aesthetics and the durability of the fittings it contains, it reflects the image of the establishment.

Within the complete range of solutions offered by Ideal Standard, a leading bathroom manufacturer, certain ranges stand out not only for their style but also for their practicality, durability and commitment to sustainable development, criteria sought by all players in the sector (architects, hoteliers, etc.).

Cerafine O Nuovo and Ceraline Nuovo mixers, a premium design
Given how frequently they are used, architects look for hotel taps made from resistant materials, with an attractive design, impeccable quality and cost efficiency.

The new Cerafine O Nuovo and Ceraline Nuovo mixers offer all of these advantages, making them essential elements of hotel bathrooms.

While the Cerafine O Nuovo collection features bold lines, Ceraline Nuovo breaks free from standard lines. Their design, with no cut-out at the back of the mixers, prevents dirt build-up and makes them easier to clean.

Available in a wide choice of models (basin, piccolo basin, tall, raised, wall-mounted and bidet), these taps are equipped with Blue Start technology (cold water opening in the central position). They feature a premium design and excellent durability: a flow limiter of only 3,8 l/min for reduced water consumption, and a 28 mm Firmaflow® cartridge for an extended service life (> 500 000 cycles).

In a chrome or matt black finish, they suit all styles of contemporary bathrooms.

The shower area, elevated
Quicker and more water-efficient, the shower is particularly popular with business clientele, provided it is spacious, and with hoteliers. With its elegant rectangular lines, the Alu+ collection, made up of shower columns with shelves and a Beauty Bar, appeals with its palette of contemporary colours (3 matt finishes: matt black, brushed silver and brushed rose).

Created by Roberto Palomba, renowned designer and the brand's Chief Design Officer, the Alu+ column combines a hand shower and a comfort shower head offering two functions, with a normal rain jet and the SilkRain mode, which diffuses ultra-fine water droplets for a spa-like experience.

Sustainability was prioritised in its design. Alu+ is made from high-quality recyclable aluminium, composed of 84 % recycled materials. Completely free of chrome, lead and nickel, Alu+ also features water-saving technology integrated across the entire range. The flow limiters reduce consumption to only 8 l/min for the hand shower and 12 l/min for the rain shower head, with no impact on performance.

Available in many sizes and cut-to-size shapes, the UltraFlat S+ and UltraFlat Evo shower trays, combined with the Alu+ column, form a harmonious shower area.

The ultra-slim design (30 mm thick) with no lip of the UltraFlat S+ shower tray brings a touch of elegance and sophistication to the shower area. Non-slip, its stone-effect textured surface creates a feeling of comfort and natural warmth underfoot. Its thinness also makes it easier to step in and out of the shower, even for people with reduced mobility.

It can be installed on the floor or flush with it to give the harmonious appearance of a wet room. They are available in a palette of modern colours (pure white, sand beige, concrete grey, intense black) that allows you to choose the shade that best matches the desired aesthetic. Eco-designed, they are made from IdealSolid+, an innovative and eco-friendly material combining crushed dolomitic rock and resin produced from 30% recycled PET plastic.

With its minimalist lines, its textured matt white finish and its waste cover in the same colour as the tray for a uniform look, UltraFlat Evo offers a sense of space and comfort. Its low height (3,5 mm) and the absence of a lip make access to the shower area easier and ensure safety thanks to the non-slip treatment (PN24).

It is made from StoneTechTM, an innovative material containing more than 35% recycled content made of crushed marble and resin. This base supports the acrylic sheet, which gives it antibacterial properties in addition to its non-slip characteristics.

Easy to maintain
To optimise the preparation of rooms and their bathrooms between each guest's arrival, it is advisable to choose fittings made of materials and shapes that are quick to clean. Inspired by the Italian art of living, the Dolce Vita® asymmetric countertop washbasins offer, in terms of aesthetics, everything guests look for to enjoy a unique experience, and everything hospitality professionals need to meet their expectations in terms of hygiene.

Placed on a vanity unit or wall-hung, the ceramic Dolce Vita® countertop washbasins, with a shelf on the right or left (100 and 120 cm), have a practical design, particularly for cleaning staff. Their smooth curved edges, with a corolla shape, contribute to their ease of maintenance.

Finally, toilets are also a key element to consider in hotel bathrooms. Wall-hung models are preferable as they save space, improve aesthetics and make cleaning easier. To meet all layout needs, Ideal Standard has developed the i.life collection made up of three ranges (i.life A, i.life B and i.life S), each with its own character and technical features. In this collection where design, comfort and hygiene combine wonderfully, all the wall-hung toilets in the i.life B and i.life S ranges have soft, square shapes that help give an impression of lightness.

Behind their contemporary look lies an innovative process that allows them to work effortlessly and efficiently. The powerful RimLS+ flushing technology ensures a complete cleaning of the bowl, leaving no place for bacteria to hide. Splash-free and easier to clean, RimLS+ is the ideal solution for heavily used bathrooms.

Thanks to this design-led, high-performance multi-product offer, available in many finishes and with accessories, as well as the Singular® inspiration concept developed by Ideal Standard, the hospitality sector has endless combination possibilities to create singular bathrooms that make life easier for everyone. Everything has been designed so that each element of the various collections finds its place and creates a harmonious hotel bathroom!
