Ideal Standard International, a leading provider of innovative bathroom solutions, has launched its next generation of taps, Ceraflex, offering durability, significant long-term savings and a reduced installation time.

The new Ceraflex range represents a high standard in bathroom and kitchen fittings, said a statement from the company.

"Clean lines and contemporary design meet outstanding durability and efficiency, in a range that is reliable, a pleasure to use and carefully engineered," said a company spokesman.  

According to him, innovative technology lies at the heart of the new Ceraflex range.

Engineered and made in Germany, its Firmaflow ceramic disc cartridge is robust and resistant – to an unprecedented degree within the industry, said the company.

"Ideal Standard invented the ceramic cartridge in 1969, granted the patent in 1974 and has refined it over generations to reach optimal reliability and durability. The result is a cartridge that will last nearly twice as long as the industry standard: 500,000 cycles, offering double lifespan of regular, daily use," he stated.

A key feature of Ceraflex is the hot water limiter, which allows control over the maximum temperature of hot water and therefore prevents scalding.

"With the integrated temperature pin, water can be reduced at any given time. With just a simple lifting and balancing of a red plastic ring in specific positions, the handle’s range of movement is delimited and maximum temperature reduced," explained the spokesman.

"The range also comes with Ideal Standard’s EasyFix system which is quick and simple: A single stainless-steel bolt secures and centers the mixer automatically, for easy installation, and all components come pre-assembled, saving 30 per cent on installation time, he added.

The new Ceraflex series of mixers is available as an aesthetic and efficient addition to sinks, basins, bidets, baths and showers. It comes in rim-mounted, wall-mounted and built-in configurations.-TradeArabia News Service
