KeraFresh: the new freshness system for toilet facilities from Keramag

10/12

Every restaurateur and facility operator knows the problem: especially in restaurants, sport and leisure facilities or large-scale event venues, toilets that have to deal with a high volume of traffic usually have an "indoor climate" that is anything but inviting. And the less-than-ideal deodoriser blocks in little plastic sieves that are placed in the urinals tend to come across as decidedly unaesthetic "foreign bodies", especially in sanitary facilities with an otherwise upmarket design.

The Bathroom of the Future

But without any complicated gimmicks, if you please, so that everyone can use it and we can all live barrier-free lives. It should be natural too, of course - and ecologically compatible. An exciting task for the industry, its designers and architects.
