Urinals

Urinals are sanitary fixtures, either mounted on the wall or permanently installed on the floor, which are used to urinate while standing. They are made of robust sanitary ceramics and are becoming increasingly popular as convenient additions to fully equipped bathrooms or guest bathrooms in private homes. Most urinals are specifically designed for men. Urinals are available in a wide range of designs and different versions. A basic distinction is made between urinals without a cover and urinals with a cover. Another distinction is made between classic flushing urinals and waterless urinals. Duravit models not only combine aesthetics, high-quality workmanship and functionality, but also meet the highest hygiene standards. This is due to the sophisticated flushing technologies we use. Simple elegance and a space-saving design complete the overall product.

A major advantage of urinals is the convenience factor. If you're in a hurry, you can take care of business standing up, which is extremely practical and convenient. Especially in multi-person households, a urinal can keep others from having to wait to use the bathroom. Being able to use the toilet while standing can also make life easier for a lot of people with restricted mobility. In addition to the convenience factor, urinals are extremely space-saving since they don't have a cistern and they are ideal in guest bathrooms. They are also easy to clean, which makes them very hygienic.

In the long run, urinals use less water than conventional toilets because they only use between a quarter and a half gallon of water per flush instead of three-quarters to one and a half gallons. This also helps keep your water bill down. Siphonic urinals require a lot less water to work, which means they are a step ahead in terms of environmental friendliness. Another plus is that they won't ever get backed up and the extraction siphon prevents unpleasant odors from developing - even with heavy use. Maintenance is also inexpensive thanks to low life-cycle costs and because repairs to the flush mechanism aren't necessary.

Tip: If you appreciate comfort and hygiene, a bidet makes a perfect addition to your bathroom. But if you want to save space and still enjoy a touch of luxury, a shower-toilet is the right choice for you.

The broad selection of different Duravit urinals also leaves nothing to be desired in terms of design. Urinals with a cover not only look more sophisticated but, just like a toilet lid, they also help to ensure that no unpleasant odors can escape. This tasteful solution is especially suitable for private use and makes it possible for several toilets to be accommodated in a small space. Our urinal covers are optimally matched to the urinal basin and have an impressively simple elegance.

Dividers for urinals provide a bit of privacy and can be installed if several urinals are to be installed directly next to each other. They remind everyone to keep their eyes forward. Urinal partitions are made of different materials and come in different shapes and sizes. Our Duravit urinals are efficient in every sense of the word.

From a height of 1.80 m, however, an installation height of 80 cm for the lower edge of the urinal opening is advisable. For young people between eleven and 15 years of age, a height of 57 cm and for children between seven and eleven years of age, a height of 50 cm is a guideline.
