RAK Rimless WC’s join Compact bathroom range
07/12/2011
RAK Ceramics has introduced a range of new WRAS-approved Rimless WC’s. Part of RAK’s popular Compact bathroom collection, the new range includes six toilets which feature a small footprint and curved design. In addition to standard formats for hygiene-conscious consumers, three extended projections are available for wheelchair users, in both back-to-wall and close-coupled designs. All models comply to the Department of Health’s HTM64 Standard and will be showcased at KBB Birmingham 2012, from 4-7 March (Stand No. E95).
Combining quality, contemporary styling and practicality, RAK’s Rimless format eliminates the need for a hidden rim or channel. On flushing, water is fired from three separate jets, ensuring that the whole surface of the pan is flushed, both vertically and horizontally. As germs cannot collect under a rim, the completely visible surface is easy to clean and the need to direct cleaning products under hidden channels is eliminated, saving the consumer money as well as improving hygiene levels.
All RAK Rimless models also offer a soft close wrap-over toilet seat. Compact, close-coupled hands-free options are also available, which feature Cistermiser sensor-controlled water managed systems, as well as models with hidden cisterns and support mechanisms. In its pursuit of product excellence, the entire RAK WC range is also being converted to reduce water wastage; a revised trap design and modified Geberit cistern fitting will reduce flushing volume by 33.5% to just 4.0/2.5 litres.
Other toilet options within RAK’s Compact collection include traditional back-to-wall, wall-hung and close-coupled WC’s, in both standard, mini, extended height and full-access formats. A wide choice of complementary basins are also offered, including full pedestal, half pedestal, semi-recessed designs, corner and slim line models. Two further HTM64-compliant inclusive models, which feature no-overflow basins and horizontal outlets, are also available. For more information or to request your invitation to the show contact
