Proudly showcasing an exclusive preview of their upcoming 2017 innovations, Geberit will once again be exhibiting at the Homemakers Expo in Johannesburg, taking place from the 23rd to the 26th of February 2017. On display at the exhibition will be a preview of their exciting products from their new Geberit Bathroom Collection. Each series in the Geberit bathroom collection has been designed for both private bathrooms and public sanitary facilities.

Geberit have applied their vast knowledge gained from decades of experience, together with their passion for design and technology to inspire their new bathroom collection. You will find that their products are not just beautiful to look at, but are a perfect balance of elegant design and outstanding function, illustrating the limitless possibilities created when Design meets Function.

The Geberit Citterio bathroom series combines puristic contours with organically flowing shapes, resulting in an unmistakable design language. It’s a premium bathroom series with remarkable originality, created with timeless elegance and quality, reflecting the unique design hallmarks of the renowned Italian architect and designer, Antonio Citterio.

The Geberit Xeno² bathroom series is synonymous with architectonic design minimalism. This bathroom series boasts a perfectly coordinated product range of intelligent, well-thought-through elements.

The Geberit iCon bathroom series offers an extensive range of ceramic appliances and bathroom furniture. The series shines with its linear design and is also impressively versatile.

The iCon xs series helps to maintain clear room architecture even in small bathrooms, offering a shorter projection range allowing for more space.

With its ornate lines and contemporary design, the Geberit Smyle bathroom series brings harmony and lightness into family and guest bathrooms. With a clear sense of order and efficient use of a room, Geberit Smyle achieves the highest level of convenience in the bathroom for any structural situation.

Taking centre stage will be the Geberit DuoFresh system, paired with a Geberit Rimfree toilet from the Citterio series. The Geberit DuoFresh system will be a visual, working display so that viewers can fully understand the functions of the DuoFresh system, coupled with the flushing performance of a Geberit Rimfree toilet. Geberit DuoFresh is an innovative odour extraction system that keeps a bathroom smelling fresh, cleverly located behind the wall, integrated with the cistern. Odours are extracted from inside the toilet bowl, purified through an active carbon filter and gently released again as fresh air.

In addition, the stand will also showcase the slim Geberit CleanLine shower channels which are very popular with their timeless linear design. Thanks to their innovative technology, they are easy to install and even easier to clean. Alongside these innovations will be Geberit's wide selection of actuator plates. More and more customers are attaching importance to having bathrooms where designs, colours and materials are in harmony with one another. Geberit ensures that they offer consumers a wide selection of actuator plates to complement their bathroom design and style.

Geberit looks forward to introducing you to their innovative sanitary solutions from their new bathroom collection at the Homemakers Expo.

Innovations in the toilet-space are largely led by the innovation and technology driven sanitary leader, Geberit.

Did you know that they have sold more than 60 million concealed cisterns worldwide? The ‘disappearance’ of the pipes behind the wall sparked a paradigm change within the bathroom, where function and design intertwine. The concealed cistern provides more space in the bathroom as the cistern is no longer in the way, leaving the walls to be used in more creative and functional ways. They can save you up to 200mm of space in the bathroom and using wall-hung toilets creates an elegant and spacious feeling and they are hygienic as you can clean underneath and right around them – adding an innovative Geberit Rimfree® toilet is even more hygienic and far easier to clean. The Geberit concealed cisterns are available in several options, equipped with Geberit technology which has proven itself for decades, and with adjustable water-saving functions and dual flush or stop-and-go flush. The fact that Geberit concealed cisterns have been in use for over half a century, demonstrates that Geberit's brand promise of "Know-How Installed" is clearly working.

Even today, plumbers are constantly bumping into Geberit concealed cisterns from the early years that are still in daily use. Geberit still has replacement parts for first-generation cisterns and guarantees spare part availability for up to 25 years. The Geberit concealed cisterns are designed with ease of installation. Style is a big consideration in a bathroom, and using a concealed cistern which is hidden from view, makes the choice of actuator plate that much more important as their visual appearance sets the design tone. The variety and technological advancement of flush plates available today has opened up new design possibilities too. Choose a Geberit dual flush option for your toilet to save water – there is even a touchless version. They are functional, save water and more hygienic. Bring a sense of well-being and freshness into the bathroom with a Geberit DuoFresh system, with an integrated odour extraction unit. The system works effortlessly by removing foul air directly from the toilet bowl, purifies and then releases it back out again as fresh air. Another option from Geberit, and ideal for renovations is the Geberit floor-mounted Monolith sanitary module. The Monolith's sleek glass panel saves space compared to bulky traditional cisterns, making even small spaces feel open and expansive.

Additionally, it offers eco-friendly dual flush technology, which allows users to choose between a standard or low-volume flush, saving the average family thousands of litres of water each year. Geberit offers complete bathroom solutions where everything works together in perfect harmony.

Have you every wondered how a bathroom is built? There are many steps that are required to turn a shell into a finished bathroom. So too is a great deal of know-how, in-front of and behind-the-wall.

Click here to watch a 40 second video of what it looks like when you disassemble a bathroom step by step. Have a look at the array of sophisticated technology behind the wall.

Behind the wall: Innovative, sophisticated and high-quality sanitary technology from Geberit has ensured trouble-free operation and a high quality of life for decades. In front of the wall: Geberit offers ceramics, bathroom furniture, comprehensive fittings and design solutions for bathrooms of all sizes and comfort classes.

The latest bathroom trend is currently experimenting with new materials and colours which brings in more decorative elements into the bathroom to create a unique and personalised look. Consumers want their bathroom to harmonise better design-wise with the rest of their home, which translates to bolder designs for wallcoverings, textured surfaces, more bronze and copper, wider use of solid surfacing and more furniture in soft greys and woodgrains.

Home buyers tend to look for key pieces selectively used for design interest, for example a focal point vanity unit or luxury freestanding bath, but the move is definitely towards a warmer, cocooning overall style.
