Touchless Taps
Raise hygiene in the bathroom to a new level - with touchless taps.
Growing expectations
In the past, designing a welcoming public space was a balancing act of cost, style and functionality. Now another factor has become important for a care-free and comfortable space: hygiene.
Starting a positive change
Now it is the responsability of a host, owner or operator of a space to create conditions for a hygienic stay. Hand washing is given a particularly high priority here. Operators are expected to keep up with new standards and contribute to positive change in this area. In public perception, pioneers in hygiene are assuming their social responsability and are rewarded while poor conditions are quickly criticized.
The next big challenge
Providing genuinely safe options for large numbers of visitors can be challenging. Shared spaces in hand-washing facilities can quickly become unsanitary. Even with most advanced techniques and smallest cleaning intervalls, cleaning facilities after each use is almost impossible.
To support you on the way to a new level in hygiene, GROHE can offer years of experience in this field
Touchless Taps
Touchless Taps use infrared sensors to start and stop the water flow. This guarantees hygienic and intuitive use. The water flows automatically when you hold your hands within the reach of the sensor. The temperature can be pre-set to a comfortable setting. When you remove your hands, the water flow stops.
Designed to provide a completely hygienic experience
No cross-contamination
The handling is completely contact-free, so there is no need to touch surfaces that were handled by previous users.
Clean inside and out
The fitting can be set to regular automatic flushing. There are also settings for thermal disinfection and a cleaning mode to briefly deactivate the sensor.
Less room for bacteria
The design of the taps strives towards minimal dead spaces. This prevents bacteria like legionella from multiplying and getting into the water.
Less is more
