On The Level Bespoke Colour Match – Customised Gratings to Create a Perfectly Colour Co-ordinated Bathroom

With the growing trend to customise bathrooms, On The Level (OTL) have produced a spectrum of contemporary coloured gratings from Gold to Green – meaning it’s now easier to make a shower or wetroom as individual as you.

The range of colours come in matt or gloss, at an additional cost, depending on the size and colour chosen. OTL will replicate any colour required, meaning you can have the same colour grating to match bathroom tiles, towels or theme. Examples of available colours include; Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Pink, Red, Gold and Black.

A square floor drain complements a classic wet room design. It’s best suited to mosaic tiles but can also be used with large format tiles. OTL gratings and channels are available in a wide range of colours as well as; fine grain brushed stainless steel or superior polished chrome plate on brass. OTL offers formers suitable for square gratings, linear channels and level access wet rooms. The complete assembly is made in the UK at the OTL factory in Bedfordshire, giving full control of the manufacturing process including bespoke design, quality control and quick delivery.  

Kaldewei and the WWF: jointly protecting our oceans:

Kaldewei Supports The WWF

Project to reduce plastic waste through sustainable waste management

It is forecasted that in 2050 the oceans will contain as much plastic waste as fish. The first indications are already visible today: animals are perishing after ingesting plastic; microplastic is being found in many species of fish. On this basis, Kaldewei have joined forces with the WWF working on their marine conservation programme in Southeast Asia. The core aim of the project is to improve waste management in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta.

KALDEWEI, St Ives, April 2018. – It is forecasted that in 2050 the oceans will contain as much plastic waste as fish. The first indications are already visible today: animals are perishing after ingesting plastic; microplastic is being found in many species of fish. On this basis, Kaldewei have joined forces with WWF working with their marine conservation programme in Southeast Asia. The core aim of the project is to improve waste management in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta.

“Sustainability is enshrined in the Kaldewei corporate philosophy. We are happy to support the WWF’s important work to prevent plastic waste in the oceans, and we are confident that with our commitment we will be making a valuable contribution to marine conservation and the preservation of natural living environments,” says Managing Director Franz Kaldewei. Studies show that organised waste management is not practised in Southeast Asia and uncontrolled dumping of residual waste is a common occurrence. Owing to regular flooding in river basins, large quantities of this waste is swept into our oceans.

Keeping plastic out of our oceans
Working together, Kaldewei and the WWF wish to combat not only the impacts but also the causes of environmental pollution. The aim of the model project in the Mekong Delta is to quickly reduce the volume of waste by up to 80 per cent by means of separation and recycling, to shut down dumps over the long term and to clear disposal sites. It is hoped that these measures will prevent large quantities of plastic from entering the ocean via the rivers and canals on the Mekong Delta every year, as is currently the case.
In manufacturing its shower surfaces, bathtubs and washbasins made of steel enamel – a composite of steel and glass – Kaldewei has always used natural raw materials that are 100% recyclable. “For us, this partnership with the WWF is a logical step in our constant endeavours for a clean environment,” Franz Kaldewei adds.

Duravit C.1 tap fittings win the iF GOLD AWARD 2018

March 2018, Duravit has received the iF DESIGN AWARD for the 41st time. The iF GOLD AWARD acknowledges the design excellence, execution, consideration of environmental standards, functionality and innovations of the new C.1 tap fittings range. This award again confirms Duravit’s high level of design expertise. In addition, Luv, Vero Air c-bonded and the BioTracer were honoured with the iF DESIGN AWARD.

The C.1 design range perfectly reflects Duravit’s design language. The ergonomic handle with a recess underneath feels comfortable in the hand and permits a precise operation. Sophisticated details, such as the gap between the base plate and handle which has been reduced to a minimum, add to the elegant look.

Four different heights for a range of basin dimensions, three-hole tap fittings in two heights and wall-mounted fittings with a spout in two lengths provide comfort at the washbasin as well as matching design. C.1 also offers an ideal tap fitting solution for the bidet, shower and bathtub.
