Duravit’s tap fittings – from the washbasin to the bathtub

Four different sizes make the C.1 tap fittings from Duravit compatible with any washing area, from a small handrinse basin through to a generously proportioned above-counter basin…

Selecting the correct tap for a bathroom can both enhance the overall aesthetic and add an additional design statement. Whether for the washbasin, the shower, the bathtub or the bidet: Duravit taps set themselves apart. This is due to their high-quality materials and universal design, it makes them an ideal match for all Duravit ceramic and bathroom furniture ranges.

Convenient functions and ease of use are the hallmark of all Duravit tap ranges. The B.1 to B.3 series impresses with their attractive price points this appeals not only to architects and developers, but to private individuals too.

The B.1 series is characterised by its gently rounded contours and contrasts with the angular design of B.2. The B.3 tap series adds yet another dimension to the Duravit B series. 

Its sophisticated ergonomics are particularly noticeable in the circular recess in the handle, perfectly positioned for ease of operation. Minimalist, unpretentious design is the order of the day with the C.1 series from designer Kurt Merki Jr. This series features a handle that is perfectly proportioned both to the eye and to the touch. Alongside classic chrome, the series also introduces contemporary Black Matt into the bathroom.

With the two finishes and the four different tap sizes, the series will bring out the best in any washing area – from the handrinse basin through to the wash bowl. All harmonize perfectly with different furnishing styles and offer plenty of scope for individual design preferences. 

Hand shower or showerhead? Why not both! The all-in- one Duravit shower system solution combines all the benefits of the two variants. Use the hand shower for a quick all-over clean if you’re in a hurry, or give yourself a well-earned wellness experience with the relaxing showerhead. 

On the technical side, Duravit also offers a choice between single-lever shower mixers and a thermostatic shower mixer for exposed or concealed installation that can be combined with any square or round showerheads for wall or ceiling fitting. A similar degree of variety is available for bathtubs, too. From the bathtub faucet through free-standing bath mixers to thermostatic or single-lever mixers for exposed or concealed installation – Duravit satisfies all the customer’s wishes. Exposed and concealed variants offer the perfect solution for any bathtub situation. The Duravit BlueBox®, a universal installation system for a range of tap designs (lever mixers or thermostats), is used for concealed installation. This allows the design decision to be taken even after the basic set has been installed. 

The faucets are splash-free thanks to an individually adjustable aerator. Thermostats offer additional comfort for use in the shower area. An integrated safety cut-off efficiently guards against excessive water temperatures.

The bathroom of today is also the bathroom of the future. The precision-manufactured, long-lasting and maintenance-free ceramic cartridges that are installed in all mixers play a big part in that. With a maximum flow rate of 5.7 liters per minute, the noise-optimized Duravit taps are also impressively economical. Especially important for customers: Duravit provides a five-year warranty across its entire faucet range.
