Over the past three decades, progress in the field of plumbing and bathroom equipment has grown tremblingly forward. The fact that 30 years ago seemed a real wonder, today it became completely familiar, produced massively and is offered everywhere at the points of sales. And it is already difficult for us to present our daily life Without the newest plumbing technologies.

And the process continues and even accelerates. Designers and engineers of leading manufacturers, "Suppliers" Plumbing Innovations annually present new terrific developments designed to make water and hygienic procedures even more pleasant, useful and economical.

We have identified the most important discoveries and the most significant development of recent years in the field of equipment for bathrooms. Let's see which technologies turned the idea of \u200b\u200bthe design of bathrooms and bathrooms, discovered completely new opportunities before designers and architects. And presented users with additional amenities that you could only dream about.

1. Installation systems and suspension plumbing

   The first suspended toilets appeared in the early 80s in public bathrooms in the West. Invented them primarily for considerations of efficiency. And only then appreciated other numerous advantages of suspended plumbing - hygienicity, comfort, stylish appearance. Together with the advent of suspended plumbing models, mass production began hidden Systems Installations - special framework structures for their installation. The appearance of suspended plumbing and installation systems opened up completely new planning and design capabilities in the equipment and design of bathrooms. It is thanks to this discovery that we can hide nonethetical plumbing communications and pipes behind the walls and partitions, incarnate unusual ideas and non-standard planning solutionsBy placing the plumbing anywhere in the room. The use of suspension plumbing is one of the best ways to visually expand the space in a small bathroom. And the care of such products is exceptionally simple, as well as cleaning in the indoor indoor.

   

2. Santechnic Acrylic

   The appearance of technologies for manufacturing and processing acrylic contributed to the emergence of a fundamentally new type of plumbing products - acrylic baths and pallets. Products from Plumbing Acrylic quickly won popularity among consumers. It turned out that the acrylic products are no less durable and hygienic than their predecessors from steel, cast iron or ceramics. But at the same time, they possess a number of additional advantages: always warm and pleasant to the touch surface, low weight, affordable price, simple installation and care, wide-old model range of products different design and colors. It is from acrylic that are such popular corner, semi-pumping and curly bath models, which help the most rational use space in the bathroom. After all, from this material you can cast a product of any necessary form, any configuration, any size. The properties of Acrylic also opened up new opportunities in bath equipment by hydromassage systems of different complexity and functional.

   

3. Composite materials

   Almost immediately after the appearance in the assortment factories of modern acrylic products, the market extended the next novelty - products from high-tech composite materials. Composite materials are polymers with the addition of natural filler (usually, 60-70% stone crumbs). Leading brands almost simultaneously presented products from composites of their own development. Quaryl, Corian, Durald, Techstone, Starylan - This is all the names of patented composite materials. famous marks. Often you can hear such names as fake diamond or martium marble. But, despite different "names", these materials are almost no different in composition and production technology. Properties of modern composites presented the opportunity to produce products of the most unusual forms, different shades, imitating different materials, with glossy or matte surface. In the catalogs of the factory there were whole collections made from innovative material - not only baths, but also washbasins, furniture, toilet and bidets. After all, according to its properties, composites are ideal for the production of plumbing products. They are durable, hygienic, easy to leaving, plastic. And at the same time it looks very aesthetically and modern. To date, this is one of the favorite materials of designers-developers of items for bathrooms. Now their fantasy is practically not limited. With the help of a composite material, you can implement a project of any complexity.

   

4. Multifunctional shower nozzles

   A modern shower nozzle is already much more than just a watering can with holes for water out. Today, these are complex and multifunctional devices that create jets of different intensity, rhythm, configuration. The shower of "new generation" can be vigorously massaging, soft relaxing, saturated oxygen bubbles, imitating a drop of light spring rain or tropical shower streams. One shower head can reproduce up to 6 types of jets of different types. Thus, thanks to the developers of modern shower systems, the shower now serves not only for washing, but also for relaxation and health promotion.

   

5. Technologies Hands FREE.

   Manual control buttons and levers gradually go into the past. Designers and developers of manufacturers of sanitary fittings are offered to use super-modern contactless technologies. Such technologies today are very successfully used in the production of mixers and flushing mechanisms. This is a really new era in organizing sanitary zones for residential and public premises. It is enough just to stretch your hand, and the device automatically goes into action - water flows from the mixer or flushed out of the tank. As a rule, the principle of operation of contactless equipment is based on the action of infrared (less often ultrasound) sensor, which catches the movement within a radius from one to several tens of centimeters. After a certain period of time, when the movement stops, the device itself turns off. The advantages of contactless plumbing equipment are obvious: substantial savings of water, the maximum possible hygiene.

   

6. Thermostats

   The next miracle of sanitary techniques of recent years is the mixers with a thermostat. His appearance in the bathroom eliminated many inconveniences. The mixer equipped with a thermostat provides the water supply of a given temperature. The desired temperature must be configured only once with a thermostat. And from the displacement of the mixer will always come to the water we have programmed the temperature. By the way, in mixers with thermostats, it is often possible to install and the desired thread pressure, which is also very convenient and helps to save water. Some modern models Equipped with liquid crystal displays, where you can see information about the specified indicators of water temperature and pressure. Such mixers are indispensable for use in the family, where there are small children. The possibility of getting burns with boiling water or "to get" the ice shower is excluded.

   

7. New level of hygiene

   Despite the fact that the sanitary porcelain material is smooth and dense, its surface still has the property to gradually absorb pollution. Manufacturers worked hard on how to increase the level of hygienicness of plumbing products and closer its indicators to the maximum. The result of their scientific developments was the appearance of about 10 years ago. innovative Materials and special antibacterial coatings. They have such a structure that there is an repulsive force between molecules of the material and water molecules. Water (along with impurities and pollution) does not penetrate the pores of the material - drops take the shapes of the balls and roll in sewer plum. The surface remains always perfectly clean and hygienic. Examples of materials and coatings: Ceramicplus from Villeroy & Boch, LDEAL Plus from LDEAL STANDART, WonderGliss from Duravit, Keratect from Keramag, Siflon and Smart from IDO, LCC from Laufen, etc.

   In 2014, almost at the same time several leading European manufacturers presented an innovative design of toilet bowls - Rimless technology. Rimless in the literal translation means "without rim", and the toileties developed by such technology are simply called "furious". In the cup of such toilet bowls there is no rim, from under which the water usually goes for flushing. And accordingly, there are no hidden hard-to-reach areas that are maintained in purity.

   Innovations in the field of hygiene touched not only products from ceramics. Manufacturers of mixers and shower systems are used to cover their products special protective coatingspreventing emergence limescale on surfaces, air pollution and nozzles.

   

8. Water saving technologies

   The problem of saving water has long passed into the category of global world problems. The question of saving water across the planet is becoming more and more acute. European manufacturers Plumbing products are paying special attention This problem is equipped with modern devices and technologies that help users save water. So, we take care of the natural resources of our planet and at the same time significantly reduce our own costs for utility bills.

   Even by themselves, one-leaf faucets that have become popular in the past two decades, it is already helping to partially save water (compared to two-fledged analogues). The latest technology, such as EcoSmart from Hansgrohe, help reduce water consumption by more than twice. Water in such mixers is aimed (saturated with air) and the jet becomes softer and volumetric. For high pressure The built-in flow limiter is triggered and partially overlaps the waterproof hole. Most high-quality modern mixers make it possible to choose the desired water pressure, changing the position of the lever - the usual pressure or pressure in economy mode. Similar systems for saving water today are also equipped with most worm mechanisms. Washing mechanisms of toilet and built-in tanks, as a rule, also have two buttons - normal washed and economical.
