I have talked about and their innovations for the bathroom . The high end Italian brand is known for their evolving technical innovations in Research and Development and today I wanted to tell you a little bit more about their Extraglaze® Antibacterial enamel technology, which is a material enriched with silver and titanium ions that ensure 99.99% antibacterial action, easier and faster cleaning and greater shine.
No matter how you design a space, the design and aesthetics always have to go hand in hand with functionality. This is even more important in the bathroom, where it’s so crucial that the design is supported by hygiene, durability and reliability. Cleaning and hygiene are a big part of what we do in the bathroom and when designing a bathroom space it’s important to pick out elements that can helps us maintain a clean and hygienic bathroom for years to come, without too much effort.
The R&D department at GSI Ceramica has developed a number of patented extras, which are included in almost all their collections. The is one of these innovations (along with the , which uses only 4,5l with each flush instead of the commonly used 9l – you can read more about this in my ), which ensures anti-bacterial protections and renders surfaces extremely smooth and polished for a perfect hygiene that is easy to achieve and maintain.
The Extraglaze®Antibacterial ceramic finishing is present on all the GSI products in the beautifully designed bathroom space in the pictures. The interior features a simple collection of , which can be customised to meet a wide range of spaces and requirements and its minimal design can stand the test of time. Once combined with accessories and fixtures, this range creates a pleasing, functional elegant and minimal bathroom space. When at any time you would like to have a little bathroom update, you can just update the accessories and wall treatment. The sanitary range will fit with tiles, wood and all types of fixtures. It’s very versatile, with possibilities to add towel racks and different installation options. I think the range would fit in so many different bathrooms, yet its simplicity has a certain elegance to it that just speaks for itself in a powerful, yet minimalistic way.
I love that the bathroom space is designed as a tranquil space in a modern home. The dark wood panelling on the walls provides the perfect backdrop for the minimal washbasins, wall hung wc’s, and bidets, which all contrast so nicely against the darker wood. All the sanitary ware in the pictures has the Extraglaze®Antibacterial ceramic finishing which reduces surface irregularities to a minimum. This prevents lime deposits, leaves the surfaces shinier, reduces bacteria counts and makes cleaning easier. Anyone living in Germany like myself, where the water is so hard can certainly appreciate not having to wipe down scaling every other day right ? The anti-bacterial formula is also applied to all the GSI Ceramic seats and covers, wich makes them very hygienic. The GSI toilets are glazed internally in every part that comes into contact with water, including the drain, which avoids absorption of waster water and unpleasant odours.
This might be the less thought of aspect when designing a bathroom, but it’s just as important as picking the right design, if not actually more important. Think about how many years you will live with the same bathroom and how often you use or clean it. It’s so important to make the right decisions when picking out sanitary ware.
