Duravit: Intergenerational Bathroom Concepts

Duravit presents wellbeing at any age through increased comfort in intergenerational bathroom concepts.

The comfort bathrooms of today are planned with foresight, without compromising on design and technical innovations.

Whether it’s level-access showers or generous, accessible room layouts: The features that offer increased comfort and convenience for younger people also give seniors a bathroom that facilitates independent living and quality of life. In this way, timeless, contemporary, intergenerational bathrooms become versatile assets at all stages of life. The long-term, convenient usability of bathroom fittings can also increase the value of a property.

Design and functionality: Versatile washing area

The washing area is the multifunctional space that’s most frequently used in the bathroom. So, it should be easy to reach and convenient to use, without forfeiting any of its attractive design qualities. The ideal solution: Consoles from the DuraStyle range, for example, with built-in or above-counter basins.

These offer legroom, so that the washbasin can also be used comfortably from a seated position. In addition, above-counter basins offer an elevated washing position. Thanks to generous surface areas on both sides, all personal care products can be kept within arms’ reach. With the corresponding width in the washing area, base cabinets positioned at the sides are available optionally with one or two drawers for handy storage space. These are optionally fitted with top-quality interior layouts in Diamond Black.

The practical consoles with different wood decor, high-gloss lacquer or real wood veneer offer multiple options for an individual layout. Because practicality and high-quality design don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Asymmetrical washbasins, like the DuraSquare models, are ideal as convenient future solutions for age-appropriate bathrooms. Even without a vanity unit, the wide washbasin features spacious surface areas to the right or left of the basin. The linear, precise, yet also soft and organic, forms of the range provide a visual highlight and can also be successfully integrated into any bathroom.

The Vital models of the D-Code, DuraStyle, Starck 3 or Architec series conform to the current DIN 18024/II and 18025/I+II standards for accessible bathrooms. The washbasins are wheelchair accessible.

For optimal results, the mirrors and shelves should be easily reachable from various heights, or be adjustable.

Accessible showers and bathtubs

Bath-shower combination

The combined walk-In shower and bathtub provided in the EOOS Shower + Bath offers maximum comfort for small spaces. Thanks to the integrated glass door, the bathtub can be turned quickly and easily into an open, age-appropriate shower with easy access. If the door to the bathtub is opened, it disappears under a waterproof seat cushion and can’t be seen. The pillow, which keeps its shape, lies on top of the integrated door, as well as on the tub rim, and offers comfortable seating and an additional surface area option.

Shower + Bath makes it possible for people with limited mobility or a disability to also enjoy a relaxing bath.

Clever bath concepts for increased safety

It’s not just inaccessible bathrooms that safety plays a key role. People of all ages benefit from the practical additional functions for increased comfort in the bathroom. When it’s dark, a special supplementary LED nightlight ensures adequate light to navigate by, without interrupting the body’s resting state. Several of the mirror cabinet models, as well as the SensoWash® shower toilet, are fitted with these.

Duravit acrylic shower trays with the special transparent, slip-resistant Antislip coating, are also available for increased safety when showering.
