TECE products fit in with the high-quality furnishings
The bathrooms also follow the high-quality concept and impress with their exclusivity and maximum comfort, which is also reflected in the sanitary facilities. The operators decided on sanitary technology from the Emsdetten-based sanitary expert TECE. Among other things, the shower channel TECEdrainline, which has been proven a million times over, was used. TECEdrainline shower channels are particularly suitable for floor-level shower solutions and fit seamlessly into the aesthetic design. One special feature of the shower channel: thanks to the seamless stainless steel body with an internal slope, dirt particles are prevented from settling. This makes cleaning particularly easy – a crucial factor for smooth and hygienic service. With the tileable plate in the ‘plate’ version, the shower channel blends almost seamlessly into the floor covering.
The two-stage membrane seal minimizes the evaporation of sealing water in the siphon, thus avoiding unpleasant odours. At the same time, the membrane odour trap acts as a vermin barrier, thus guaranteeing the highest possible hygienic comfort. Furthermore, the TECEsquare flush plates are perfectly suited for the resort's bathrooms. The elegant and extra-slim flush plates in black and white set exciting colour contrasts in the brightly tiled bathrooms. They also impress with their precise design and special button mechanism. The result is a haptic and visual experience that enhances every bathroom in the resort units.
