Hygiene is key factor for bathroom designers

Global bathroom solutions brand Grohe has reported a significant rise in demand for no-touch taps in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the importance of hand washing is promoted worldwide, the company says people are now looking for technologies that bring better hygiene into daily life - reports KBB Review.Phil Dixon, head of e-commerce at Grohe UK said: "We are preparing to see unprecedented demand from homes and businesses alike in the coming months as we all prepare for post-lockdown life. Alongside our touchless taps, we are also expecting to see a spike in the shower toilet sector."

Grohe also said the design community is considering how hygiene will come to the fore in the interior spaces of the future.

Coen van Oostrom, founder and ceo of EDGE, a company that specialises in developing a new generation of buildings that focus on the health of people and the planet, predicts new health measures will play a key role in a new generation of workplaces.

"Together with sustainability, health will define the way we build and design homes, offices and places where people meet," he said. "Touchless products and speech-driven technology will play a key role in making healthy and safe offices. Consumers will want to minimise contact to surfaces as much as possible."
