New washbasin design (600 mm x 550 mm) with large shelf area
Puristic, easy-care, high-gloss surfaces and functional design stand for the versatility of the HEWI
washbasins. Thanks to their reduced style, the different models harmoniously fit into the design. Two new models offer additional design options. For the new washbasins HEWI has omitted the gripping slots. This creates even more shelf space and soap dispensers and other utensils can be placed within reach.
Due to their depth, the designs (Dimensions: 600 mm x 550 mm or 850 mm x 415 mm) can also be used in a seated position or with a wheelchair.
HEWI washbasins are made of mineral composite. The material offers decisive advantages: It is easy care and particularly hygienic. Minor damage can be repaired effortlessly. The high-gloss, non-porous surface is easy to clean.
Hansgrohe has a RIBA approved core curriculum CPD about WRAS (Water
Regulations Advisory Scheme) designed to share information about the Water Regulations and the importance of compliance to ensure successful project specifications.
When installing any product which carries or delivers water from the main supply it is a legal requirement that it complies with Regulation 4 of the ‘Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations’. WRAS Product Approval is the best way to demonstrate compliance as it is awarded by representatives of the water suppliers who enforce the Regulations and is therefore accepted by every water supplier in the UK.
Hansgrohe has over 800 WRAS approved products across a wide range of collections, award-winning designs and price-points. This impressive figure represents an investment of over £2m and is more than double the number of approvals compared to the next closest bathroom fittings manufacturer operating in the UK market.
The ‘Why WRAS’ CPD also explores the risk of non-compliance with the Regulations which can have far reaching implications across all the stakeholders involved throughout each of the project phases. The Regulations apply to all commercial buildings such as hotels, large housing projects and offices.
Ultimately, an integrated CE Marked waterproofing system, with products that are designed to work together, should be the specifier’s first choice when selecting products to use in shower areas and wetrooms.
Schlüter-Systems offers a complete solution for a CE marked waterproof floor-level shower area. The tile or stone covering in the shower area must be sufficiently sloped to allow for proper drainage. This is easily achieved with the prefabricated levelling and shower tray components of Schlüter®-KERDI-SHOWER. Schlüter®-KERDI-SHOWER is available with the point drainage system, Schlüter®-KERDI-DRAIN, and the linear drainage system, Schlüter®-KERDI-LINE.
Schlüter®-KERDI-LINE is a component linear drainage system for the construction of floor level showers with ceramic tiles or natural stone coverings. It consists of a formed stainless steel channel body with a grate and frame structure that can be seamlessly adjusted to the thickness of the covering from 3 to 25 mm.
This linear drainage system, has been updated to ensure that it meets BS EN 1253, providing a constant 50 mm water seal and to meet flow requirements which is in compliance with National House Building Council (NHBC) regulations to offer a complete system solution. The vertical drainage system is Schlüter®-KERDI-LINE-V 50 G2 and the horizontal drainage system is Schlüter®-KERDI-LINE-H 50 G2. Schlüter-Systems provides you with all the tools you need to create NHBC compliant, CE Marked solution, guaranteed by one manufacturer.
The Schlüter Approved Installer Network is new for 2016 and allows approved installers, who have completed full training with Schlüter, to install the Schlüter-WETROOM system including the new 50mm drain. The network not only gives accreditation to the individual as an expert but also to the company as a certified organisation. This provides reassurance to you as the specifier or architect that the system will be installed to the manufacturer’s standards and best practice and minimises installation risks, ensuring a quick and reliable installation.
HEWI wrote design history with the lever handle 111. The portfolio has been developed continuously ever since. Cloakroom products, handrails, railings and sanitary accessories as well as accessibility products were created following the principle: one part matches the other. Today the hardware System 111 and the sanitary Range 477/801 are still among the most frequently used products in public buildings.
More Options
The colour concept is not only a contemporary development, but also opens up new design options. There will be six new colours. The colour concept has 16 colours in total. These are coordinated, so that they can be used together harmoniously. In addition, the multi-system concept creates even more combination possibilities. For example, the sanitary ranges, accessibility products and selected hardware can be combined with each other.
The new brochure “Colour” contains all colors. Let yourself be inspired.
To cut a round tube and rejoin it mitred at right angles – this was the idea of the architect Robert Mallet-Stevens (1886 – 1945), whose lever handle is today known as the “Frankfurter Model”.
HEWI has derived a universal system on the basis of the simple yet clever design. Linear, functional, without superfluous details: System 162 convinces in the sanitary room through its clear design. Matching hardware, signs and handrails are available.
The minimalist design concept of System 162 not only has a convincing reduced design and a high degree of functionality, but also persuasive quality to match.
The System 162 sanitary products are available with a high-quality chrome finish. The accessories can be combined with inserts made of satin-finish glass or high-quality polyamide in pure white or anthracite grey.
System 162 is augmented with a rail with shower head holder and shower basket. The support rail provides additional comfort and convenience.
