Product solutions by Franke Water Systems provide the answers. Automatic basin taps help save water and energy. At the same time, this operating principle guarantees the best-possible hygiene, because the tap needs to be touched only before washing hands or not at all. Single-lever mixers, self-closing and electronic fittings with options for water hygiene flushing and thermal disinfection additionally provide clean drinking water at the hand washbasin. Using high-quality, contamination-resistant materials for hand washbasins and accessories creates a clean atmosphere that best helps maintain heavily used sanitary facilities. 8 Washing facilities The extensive range of solutions for sanitary facilities includes: – Single-lever mixers with thermostatic protection from scalding and hygiene options – Hydraulically controlled self-closing taps, single mixers or thermostatic mixers – Touch-free, electronically controlled taps and mixers with opto-electronic sensor – Washbasins, multiple washing systems, wash troughs made of stainless steel or mineral granite, also for accessible applications – Tap units for multiple washing systems – Design accessory lines made of stainless steel and with fronts made of white or black safety glass panels – Accessible grab rail systems for people with disabilities 9 GREEN BUILDING – THE BUILDING OF THE FUTURE A key objective of "green" buildings is the efficient use of water, energy and materials. Lowering the consumption of resources is a successful method for reducing operating costs in favour of economic efficiency in administration buildings. Depending on the type and period of utilisation, it is necessary to take into account factors such as different frequencies of usage as well as the anonymity of visitors. Another important factor is that sanitary facilities in offices and administration buildings represent the company to the outside world. Not only functionalism and neutrality, but also flair and exclusivity portray the image that a company or institution stands for. Optimally conceived sanitary solutions help in planning a "green building." 10 green building 11 WASHING HANDS DURING RUSH-HOUR Sanitary products used in publicly accessible toilet facilities at railway stations and airports must be able to withstand the most severe conditions. The extremely high rate of users combined with a constantly changing array of users do not always make these points of contact pleasant. High-quality, sturdy washbasin taps and flushing valves as well as accessories that, in ideal situations, are controlled touch-free, meet these challenges superbly. A bright and friendly design combined with a long service life and easy-to-clean surfaces promote the clean appearance of these sanitary facilities. What remains is a good feeling – even in public washrooms. 12 Public washrooms Public 13 FRIENDLY RECEPTION Washrooms and toilet facilities in the hotel lobby, in the restaurant or in the spa area are the business card of a hospitable institution. Guests who feel comfortable here will also enjoy anything else the hotel has to offer. Customised hand washbasin concepts designed to make optimum use of available space and niches make it possible to have attractive equipment that will be well-remembered. Clarity, elegance and harmony, in form as well as in material, establish a contemporary design - even in the WC. The combination of glass, light with aesthetically pleasing surfaces made of stainless steel and mineral granite lend sanitary facilities a distinctive flair and a high level of professionalism. Easy-care surfaces, beautiful taps and accessories simultaneously contribute to a hygienic environment that can also handle a rush of visitors. 14 HOTEL|Gastronomy HOTEL|Gastronomy 15 AFTER A HARD DAY'S WORK Convenient cleaning of the hands and body is the first objective for employees at an industrial or commercial establishment after performing hard physical labour. Flexible, safe and user-friendly sanitary solutions are what is needed here. They show staff members that their physical efforts for the company are being appreciated at this point too. Both ease of use and economical operation should be included in considerations as early as in the planning stage. Functionality, water-conserving and energy-conserving products, low maintenance and servicing expenditures as well as cleanliness and good cleaning characteristics are key decision criteria. 16 Industry 17 WE MAKE EVERY SHOWER FACILITY WONDERFUL The latest in taps technology supports economical, hygienic and nonetheless convenient equipment in professional shower facilities. For example, in swimming or sports facilities, a self-closing shower fitting will consume 1/3 less water than conventional shower equipment. When each tap is used 50 times per day this means approx. 3,300 litres of water saved per year. Besides functional reliability and economy, there is an increasing focus on ease of use as well as on safety for shower users and on aspects of hygiene. Important functions such as the option of conducting thermal disinfection and having protection against scalding water must be considered in the early stages when planning a building. We provide support with specific planning and project consultation. 18 Shower facilities Shower The range of products for shower facilities includes: – Single-lever mixers with hygiene options – Self-closing valves for pre-mixed warm water – Self-closing single mixers with a choice of individual temperatures – Self-closing thermostatic mixers with hygiene options – Electronic fittings with opto-electronic sensor, touch sensors or piezo buttons for pre-mixed warm water or with thermostat technology – Shower heads – Free-standing showers, shower trays – Multiple shower facilities – Equipment for people with disabilities 19 RELAXED ENERGY CONSUMPTION Users and operators of public swimming baths can rely on economical and yet convenient product solutions for sanitary facilities without high consumption of water or energy.
