International bathroom specialist, VitrA, has launched RIM-EX, a new comprehensive set of rimless WCs.
The company’s RIM-EX concept now makes it possible to pick a rimless WC from many of VitrA’s most popular ranges: Nest, Shift, T4 and M-Line from its Designer Collection; and S50 and Arkitekt from its Bathroom and Commercial Collection.
This gives a wide variety of choice in terms of both design and price and for every type of setting – whether it’s for a home, office, airport, restaurant or hotel. With these new additions, many bathrooms can now benefit from the superior hygiene and ease of cleaning experienced with a RIM-EX WC.
Each RIM-EX WC incorporates many special design features. The rimless bowl has an easy clean surface and no rims or holes where dirt or harmful organisms can collect. To eradicate the need for a rim (as in most standard toilets), the RIM-EX WCs employ a ceramic water distribution tool. It is designed to precisely distribute water, ensuring efficiency and removing the need for a rim.
This tool is fully removable so that cleaning can be easy and thorough. The bowl’s shape has also been developed to make for efficient flushing. In tests designed to examine the effectiveness of the system, the Akdeniz University determined that the RIM-EX WC pans were considerably easier to clean and were 95% more hygienic than standard WCs.
The RIM-EX M-Line toilet is also available with the VitrA Fresh system. Quite simply, a tank is located inconspicuously at the back of the WC which contains cleaning detergent.
The VitrA Fresh flush tank then adds a dose of cleaning liquid to every flush, ensuring the highest levels of hygiene with the minimum effort. The tank can also be easily accessed making it possible to top up the tank with fresh liquid. Only a small amount of liquid is used for each flush, so top ups are few and far between and can be scheduled with routine maintenance.
VitrA’s RIM-EX launch follows the introduction last year of its first truly rimless WC for the M-Line range.
