What Every Duravit Product in This Collection Has in Common
Every Duravit fixture in this collection is crafted with precision ceramic engineering, clean architectural design, and advanced surface technology. Core performance and hygiene standards stay consistent across the entire product line.
High-Grade Ceramic Construction
Duravit utilizes proprietary sanitary ceramic formulations fired at extreme temperatures. This process results in a dense, non-porous surface that resists scratches, staining, and wear over decades of daily use.
Modern European Aesthetics
Designed in collaboration with world-renowned designers (including Philippe Starck), every Duravit piece features clean geometric lines, concealed mounting hardware, and timeless minimalist styling that elevates any modern or transitional bathroom layout.
Superior Surface Hygiene Technology
Select models in this collection come standard or upgraded with Duravit's signature WonderGliss or HygieneGlaze surface glazes. These special coatings prevent dirt, limescale, and bacteria from adhering, making cleaning practically effortless.
What a Duravit Fixture Will Not Do
While Duravit products represent the pinnacle of bathroom design and hygiene, understanding their specific installation requirements ensures you choose the right model for your project:
- Wall-hung models will not install on standard floor flange setups without an in-wall carrier unit. They require a concealed carrier frame system (such as Geberit or Duravit carrier systems) mounted inside a 2x4 or 2x6 wall cavity.
- SensoWash bidet seats and smart toilets will not function without dedicated power and water connections. Electronic bidet models require a nearby 120V GFCI electrical outlet and standard clean cold water supply.
- Concealed trapway and wall-hung models will not accommodate non-standard rough-ins without prior planning. Most floor-mounted models utilize standard 12" rough-in dimensions, while wall-hung models depend on in-wall carrier positioning.
How to Choose a Duravit Toilet or Bidet Setup
Selecting the right Duravit fixture comes down to four primary decisions: mounting style, flushing technology, bidet functionality, and glaze options.
1. Mounting Style: Wall-Hung vs. Floor-Mounted
If you are looking to maximize floor space, create an open modern look, or adjust your toilet height during installation, choose a Duravit Wall-Hung Toilet. If you are replacing an existing standard toilet without altering in-wall plumbing, select a Floor-Mounted One-Piece or Two-Piece Toilet.
2. Flushing Technology and Water Savings
Duravit offers advanced flushing mechanisms including Rimless Technology, which utilizes an open rim design and powerful water swirl to reach the entire bowl interior. All models are high-efficiency, utilizing 1.28 GPF or dual-flush 1.6 / 0.8 GPF setups to conserve water while ensuring complete waste evacuation.
3. Bidet and Smart Toilet Features
For an all-in-one luxury bidet experience, choose the SensoWash Starck or SensoWash i series. These integrated smart toilets and bidet seats feature warm water washing, adjustable spray temperature and pressure, warm air dryers, heated seats, and automated lid opening. Standard ceramic toilets can be paired with matching Duravit bidet seats or standard soft-close lids.
4. Specialized Hygiene Coatings (HygieneGlaze & WonderGliss)
If low-maintenance cleaning is a priority, choose models treated with HygieneGlaze (an antibacterial ceramic glaze that kills 99.9% of bacteria within 24 hours) or WonderGliss (a smooth protective coating that causes water and dirt to slide off seamlessly).
Getting the Rough-In and In-Wall Carrier Setup Right
When planning a Duravit toilet installation, double-check your plumbing rough-in dimensions before finalizing your purchase. For wall-hung installations, ensure your wall studs (2x4 or 2x6) match the specifications of your selected in-wall carrier frame. For floor-mounted models, measure from the finished wall behind the toilet to the center of the floor drain bolt holes to verify a standard 12-inch rough-in fit.
