Silk: more design possibilities for individual dream bathrooms
Complete bathroom range by Keramag / Range’s variety enables simple advice and planning / Bathroom ceramics and furniture from a single source / Consistent design language for sophisticated private bathrooms / Special solutions for the generation aged 50 and older /
Ratingen. The satisfaction of private home owners with the advice provided by the sanitary industry is clear for all to see. A survey revealed that 92.2% of the almost 10 million households asked rated bathroom professionals as ‘very good’ or ‘good’. This clearly differentiates specialist from non-specialist suppliers.
Providing quality expert advice begins with individual design, as well as accommodating customers’ personal requirements and the characteristics of the room itself in the best possible way. This task is made easier by complete bathroom ranges that offer highly versatile products and a broad range of design possibilities. The range’s variety makes it easier to provide crucial advice and impressive plans from a single source.
In this context, the Keramag concept Silk, which was launched on the market in 2008, has already proven itself within a very short space of time. As well as a timeless and elegant design language, it offers a high degree of flexibility in terms of the design of sophisticated bathrooms for private homes. A wide range of ceramic products and bathroom furniture provides an opportunity to create highly individual solutions. Thanks to special elements with additional benefits, the range also meets the needs of the generation aged 50 and older.
The design of the sanitary objects focuses consistently on the contrasting relationship between solid and fine design elements. The core pieces and defining elements of the range are the seven different types of washbasin (57, 60, 80, 100 and 120 cm), which enable a variety of individual design possibilities, as well as a 38-cm hand-rinse basin with tap hole on the right-hand side. All washbasins are gently rounded and have spacious shelf space at the back. The gradation toward the back lends the products a high degree of lightness. This effect is highlighted by a lightly chamfered exterior contour and the flat inner basin which accentuates the bowl-like character of the washbasins.
The WC and bidet versions have been modelled on the look of the washbasins, which lends the whole ceramic range an exceptionally harmonious overall look. The 6-l WCs are available as wall-hung washdown or wash-out versions. A particularly special feature is the seat position, which has been raised by 3 cm to enable easier sitting down and standing up. The WCs also have seats with soft-closing mechanisms. The external surfaces of the WCs are completely smooth and particularly easy to clean. All ceramic products can be finished with the dirt-repellent KeraTect glaze on request.
Silk also comprises a comprehensive range of bathroom furniture. It provides washbasin countertops in widths of 60, 80, 100, 120 and 140 cm in high-quality oak or Wenge Pangar real-wood veneer with a chrome wrap-around strip. Wall-hung vanity units, sideboards and tall cabinets in matching sizes are also available, and the range also contains matching vanity units with open and closed storage space for the new hand-rinse basin.
In addition to the real-wood veneer listed above, the vanity units are also available in high-gloss white. The sideboards and tall cabinets can be rotated and fitted with shelves. The tall cabinet has a mirror on the inside of the doors, as well as a lighting strip. In combination with the matching bathroom furniture, the range has several additional benefits. The washbasin countertops, for example, have a 47-cm projection which serves as a useful shelf for various bathroom accessories. Combining this with hand-towel rails – either on the side or on the strip at the front – provides a way to integrate additional comfort functions.
An additional highlight is the beauty module which can be connected to the washbasin countertop. This is available in the same décor as the countertop and also has the same wraparound strip. When it is folded upwards, an integrated illuminated mirror is visible. The lower part offers space for smaller make-up utensils as well as cosmetic tissues. An additional intelligent element is the WC module that offers shelf space and storage space for moist toilet tissues and a toilet-roll holder. A shelf made from the mineral material Varicor is also available for the shower area. The accessories range is completed by an illuminated mirror element with chrome frame in the following sizes: 44, 60, 80 and 120 cm.
An exclusive bathtub (200 × 90 cm) with a concealed overflow beneath integrated cushions, panels in real-wood veneer and an integrated drawer completes the range. Matching shower trays and screens in various sizes are available from Koralle Sanitärprodukte GmbH.
