Returning to the Sleep Event for a second year, Roca will be presenting its latest bathroom innovations, all of which help those in the hotel and hospitality industry create luxurious, design-led spaces. Roca has developed a variety of market-leading solutions that ensure the hotel bathroom is comfortable for guests, while fulfilling practical requirements for hoteliers too.

Visitors to Stand 1 will be among the first to see the manufacturer’s distinctively styled Singles Open mixer tap. Simple to operate via a push-back lever on the top of the tap, a hole in the end of the spout of the mixer enables water to be delivered in a circular pattern, for the ultimate style statement in the modern hotel bathroom.

With a powerful flow rate of 6.5 litres per minute, Singles Open features Roca’s innovative SoftTurn technology, to deliver the highest levels of smoothness, comfort and precision when choosing the desired water flow and temperature levels.

Also on display will be Roca’s CleanRim The Gap WC, which can now be wall-hung to ensure ease of cleaning inside and out. Designed by Antonio Bullo, the rimless design of the CleanRim The Gap WC means there is simply nowhere for germs or bacteria to gather. Maximising on hygiene levels in the hotel bathroom, its wall-hung design also makes cleaning the outer surface of the pan and the floor beneath a much simpler task.

The In-Tank Meridian WC, the first of its kind to integrate the cistern into the pan, making it the ideal solution for compact bathroom settings, will also be on display. Featuring a transparent window in the WC bowl, the special design will help visitors visualise the built-in cistern and better understand the cutting-edge technology.

Roca will also present its latest washbasin designs, with both on-counter and under-counter models on display, demonstrating the versatility of the brand’s offering, as well as its range of brassware solutions. Shower heads and valves will feature on a dedicated display pod, while the all-important finishing touches of a bathroom’s design are also covered by the manufacturer’s range of accessories designed specifically for hotels.

See Roca on Stand 1 at the Sleep Event, from 26-27 November at the Business Design Centre, London.
