On its stand Geberit intends to demonstrate that specifiers can only achieve the most cutting edge, contemporary bathroom and washroom designs if all the systems and services behind the walls are the very best, and most innovative on the market. Geberit is able to offer a complete package of products from drainage and plumbing solutions through to engineered frame systems for wall-hung sanitaryware, flush plates and even touch free taps to create the perfect framework for any bathroom design.

Protection of the environment is extremely important to Geberit and every stage of manufacture of all its products are fully traceable, proving Geberit’s commitment to manufacturer accountability and the company’s green credentials. Since 2002 the company has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability index, making it one of Europe’s leading lights in sustainability. Geberit was also the winner of the Green Supplier of the Year award in 2007’s Green Construction Awards.

As well as manufacturing products in a green way, many of Geberit’s portfolio of products themselves can lay claim to being sustainable. Geberit’s concealed dual flush cisterns and coordinating flush plates offer huge water-saving credentials with a standard 6/3 litre flush. Meanwhile Geberit’s range of HDPE pipes and fittings offer some of the most ecologically-friendly piping solutions available on today’s market using significantly less energy to produce and not requiring any solvents for jointing, thereby offering a real green alternative to cast iron and PVC installations.

The company’s commitment to the environment can only be equalled by Geberit’s dedication to its customers. The technical team at Geberit want to make life easier for specifiers and will help them to specify and design tailor-made pipework, drainage and washrooms systems solutions which are the most suitable for their project.

For example, the company’s innovative Pluvia roof drainage system saves space in buildings by reducing the amount and diameter of rainwater downpipes needed. The Geberit technical team can also advise on how to maximise the available space for bathroom and washroom design. For instance Geberit offers a comprehensive range of HDPE pipes and fittings which allows close connection of back-to-back WC’s – this is particularly useful in hotel design where rentable space is at a premium.

As well as considering environmental impacts of its products, Geberit also takes into account other types of pollution such as noise. Its Silent-db20 drainage system brings together ease of installation, durability and greatly reduced noise pollution – this means bathrooms can look great and also be more discreet for the end-user experience.
