Product watch: RAK-Sanit puts hygiene in hotels first

Safety has always played an essential role in the specification of fixtures and fittings for the commercial sector, but even more so in a post-pandemic world where hygiene must always be given priority. Where aesthetics, design and style also have a huge role, such as in the hotel bathroom or bar and restaurant restrooms, protection needs to be virtually invisible yet ever-present.

This is entirely possible with RAK-Sanit, a revolution in health and safety by RAK Ceramics.

The research and development laboratories of RAK Ceramics are always at the forefront of technology and were the first in the world to supply antibacterial interior design solutions as early as 2009, thanks to the development of special certified antibacterial glazes.  ‎

Now, with RAK-Sanit the manufacturer offers an even wider range of solutions for floors, surfaces and sanitary fittings, produced with glazes that reduce the possibility of contagion and therefore contribute to creating safer commercial environments.

RAK-Sanit is the ideal solution for hotels and any community space, in which numerous people of different ages, genders and cultures interact. Inside, toilet facilities destined for use by all are increasingly in need of strong, antibacterial elements with a long product life.

The RAK-Sanit coating is permanent, guaranteeing built-in protection against bacteria throughout the entire expected product lifetime, giving 99.9 per cent protection 24 hours a day, without being visible to the naked eye.

With the new programme RAK Ceramics offers an even wider range of solutions for floors, surfaces and sanitary fittings, produced with glazes that reduce the possibility of contagion and therefore contribute to creating safer environments for all.
