At the height of the health emergency, the world reviewed its needs and Idral put all its knowledge at the disposal of the community by launching new products on the market that make public bathing safer.
Today, after the Covid-19 pandemic, these needs still exist and the designers of facilities designed to receive the public have totally changed their approach.
Spaces. Compared to before, any public environment is now designed with larger dimensions, to optimise the flow of entry and exit and to facilitate spacing between users.
Lines and design. Trends lead to taps and accessories with increasingly slender and minimalist lines, which facilitate hygiene and cleanliness in the bathroom environment.
Materials. The use of antibacterial materials, wear-resistant materials and technologies that guarantee (for the electronic versions) self-cleaning, allow more suitable environments over the years and offer the customer a healthier space.
3-in-one photocell station: air, water and soap
In the specific case of a bathroom, the trend is to multiply the tools and accessories to allow the user almost exclusive use of the air, water and soap system during use. The most classic example are the 3-in-1 consoles that allow the person not to move while washing and drying hands, eliminating the possibility of crossing paths with other users. In addition, the materials, electronic sensors and lines of our products, which respect the previous points, further reduce the possibility of contamination.
With all these lines Idral, in recent years, has created new products that respect the characteristics of today's bathroom. The tables below provide an overview of these technologies:
Solutions to maximise hygiene
The combination of hygiene and practicality has been applied by IDRAL specifically to taps destined for hospital and healthcare facilities, which require high technical safety standards: we have in fact developed clinical lever taps with a TMV3 progressive thermostatic cartridge, which offer one of the highest standards of thermostatic reaction, excellent ergonomics and allow operation at very high temperatures so as to "burn" all the bacteria present in the water, without lowering the level of safety for users.
