Bathroom culture for hotel guests
Situated in the vibrant area of the V & A Waterfront in Cape
Town, this monumental silo, once the tallest building in South
Africa, originally stored corn. The designers from the
internationally acclaimed Heatherwick Studio transformed the
historical building into a stunning piece of art itself, where the
outside with its facetted glass windows is as spectacular as the
inside.
The Jumeirah Al Naseem hotel is the fourth and last hotel to be
part of the luxurious Madinat Jumeirah resort, the largest of its
sort in Dubai.

technoloGy BehinD the wall If you decide to change your hotel
bathrooms in a modern and spacious well-being area, then a
concealed solution is the best choice. Geberit as a European market
leader in sanitary technology has been setting standards for more
than 140 years. Geberit pioneered 1964 with the production of the
concealed cistern and looks back on more than 50 years experience
and success in that field.
Placing the cistern behind the wall and choosing a wall-hung
solution has a lot of advantages. For your hotel bathroom it means
saving space and more hygiene. As the cistern is behind the wall,
the staff has got less to clean and cleaning the ceramics is also
much quicker. Thus, this solution even saves time and money.

The Geberit urinals Preda and Selva are the first urinals that do
not have to be removed for maintenance. A huge plus for hotels.
These urinals are really easy to service. The Geberit urinal Tamina
is the perfect solution for quick renovations, as, due to its size,
it covers up the openings of the older - and usually big - urinal
ceramics. There is no invervention in the building structure
necessary.
The public areas of a hotel are the hallmarks of quality and design
and will set trends public for sanitary rooms with the various
design families of actuator plates and covers from Geberit. Models
are available in die-cast zinc and stainless steel to meet the
highest standards of safety and durability. Dual- flush and
stop-and-go flush equipment for WCs make operation more economical
by lowering water consumption. Infrared and pneumatic flush
actuations supplement the product range of high- quality actuator
plates.

Water-Saving overall concept The spray head has been precisely
designed to fit the clever inner geometry of the ceramic pan. As a
result, just 0.5 litres of water are enough to ensure an optimal
flushing out. Even lower water consumption is achieved by the
individually adjustable flushing programmes, such as the
intelligent interval flushing.

For semi-public and public areas of a hotel, it is important to
have products installed that are hygienic and easy to clean. In the
past, it was the control technology which made many touchless taps
larger and less elegant than conventional taps. Geberit’s new tap
system provides a superior solution to this problem.
The Geberit washbasin taps Piave and Brenta feature a slim, elegant
design, thanks to the tap housing being anchored in the Geberit
installation system behind the wall.

noise reduces our quality of life. we all feel disturbed by noise,
especially
when we try to sleep, read a book or focus on our work. this is why
a great
deal of effort is made to make buildings quiet. however, one source
of
noise is often neglected – waste water.
This disturbance is not necessary. It is possible to improve the
residents’ quality of life and as a result the value of the
building by paying more attention to planning and installation –
and with the help of Geberit.
Sanitary installations do not need to be noisy. Geberit offers all
you need to achieve silence: a
system of silent and easy-to-install products as well as
specialised know-how in planning and installation. Reducing
sanitary noise is easier than you may think. The effect is not only
audible, but also visible, since silent Geberit installations are
an ideal basis for great bathroom designs.
