Leading sanitaryware brand Roca is presenting its innovative bathroom solution, the In-Tank Meridian WC, to architects and designers at the Architect@Work exhibition, held at Earls Court II on 29 and 30 January. Now in its second year, the unique format and layout of Architect@Work aims to optimise contact between exhibitors and visitors, with visitors led directly to exhibitors through small, uniform modules. Focusing on innovative products, materials, applications and services, Roca’s In-Tank Meridian WC has been approved by a committee of architects and designers and will guarantee an interesting stand for visitors.

The In-Tank Meridian WC is available in back-to-wall and wall-hung versions and is the first WC to have a concealed cistern integrated within the pan. This integrated cistern removes the need for separate installation system by incorporating a concealed cistern, frame and flush plate. The multi award-winning In-Tank Meridian WC, already a compact product with a projection of just 595mm, requires even less installation space than normal back-to-wall and wall-hung WCs. WRAS approved, the In-Tank helps reduce water consumption due to its economical 4.5 or 3 litre flush and also features SoftAir technology, for a powerful flushing performance.

Roca’s International Specification Manager Mark Poulain will be joined on Stand 59 by technical specialists, Vicens Font, Roca’s Senior Development Engineer, and Ernest Hernandez, Roca’s Design Manager, both of whom were directly involved in the development and production of the In-Tank Meridian WC.

Visit Stand 59 to discover more about Roca and this innovative product at Architect@Work, Earls Court II, on 29 and 30 January.
