Moving With The Times With Geberit

Combining visual elegance and innovative functions, Geberit’s latest range of actuator plates are the epitome of excellence and a crowning touch to your bathroom.

Bathrooms are arguably one of the most quintessential spaces in the home. Studies found that the bathroom was the most popular place for sanctuary in the home; a space of refuge and relaxation in an overworked and constantly stressed out world. The bathroom is often a place to escape from the strains of the technology-driven, fast-paced world which can often leave us desperately seeking a peaceful space.

Despite the importance of bathrooms, they are usually one of the smallest rooms in the home. In Asia, where small living spaces are becoming more predominant, the construction of bathrooms is getting more difficult especially with growing demands for better reliability and luxurious designs.

Concealed Space-Saving

Enter the concealed cistern. Concealed cisterns are commonly used in small bathrooms to maximise every square inch of the room, and have been proven to make a huge difference. By hiding the bulky cistern behind the wall, space is saved and the bathroom instantly looks less busy.

At the forefront of this design trend, Swiss brand Geberit has launched brand new materials for the Sigma50 and Sigma21, their premium range of actuator flush plates to suit a range of bathroom interiors. The actuator plate is one of the most important elements of bathroom design, along with the taps, WC ceramic appliances, as well as wall and floor surfaces.
With thoughtful design, clever product innovations, and careful choices in materials, textures, and colours, Geberit is providing discerning customers the ability to create a bathroom with a design that is uniquely theirs, based on entirely individual selection of product materials or motifs.

The actuator plates can be paired with concealed cisterns and have distinct new metallic details, including red gold, brass and black chrome. All three are coated with a glass ceramic layer that protects the surfaces from damage.

These metallic details complement the new walnut, slate and concrete actuator plate versions.

Finding The Right Tone

The curved flush buttons on the Sigma50 and the rings of the Sigma21 are their signature details. By introducing popular metal sheens of red gold, brass and black chrome, the actuator plates offer a broader range of material finishes to suit any style of bathroom.

Adding an industrial chic touch? The concrete version is the perfect match for many walls and tiles. For biophilic design styles, the earthy and warm materials, “Mustang Slate” (Brazilian slate) and walnut, bring a touch of nature to the bathroom. Moreover, for the natural materials, each plate is one of a kind with its unique veins.

Individualization is one of the key benefits of the new Geberit Sigma21 and Sigma50 actuator plates. With a wealth of possibilities for the plates and buttons, the design of the bathroom knows no bounds.

Incorporating beautiful textures and natural materials into the bathroom design can transform the space into a modern oasis of calm. In terms of bathroom design, focusing on improving the overall sense of wellbeing is especially significant as we move into 2021 on the back of the global pandemic.
