In healthcare establishments, water consumption is attaining new heights, well above domestic use, without being able to guarantee higher standards of hygiene. This paradox raises a crucial question: how can we maintain hygienic standards whilst managing water consumption?

Managing water consumption and guaranteeing perfect hygiene are the main challenges for the food-processing industries. Adapted equipment plays a key part in facing these challenges whilst ensuring durability and performance. How can the industries take advantage of these solutions in order to improve their efficiency?

Integrating design into sanitary fittings is becoming increasingly important for healthcare facilities, making it possible to create more welcoming spaces. This challenge involves respecting strict safety and hygiene standards which are essential to prevent infection and scalding. How can we improve patient well-being while maintaining the high standards necessary in the medical environment?

Why shouldn't "design" be for everyone? Really everyone.
Starting with those people with reduced mobility that require additional support. The Be-Line® range of grab bars, shower seats and accessories is the perfect example of aesthetic design.

The fight against bacterial proliferation is a continual challenge for healthcare facilities.
What technical solutions should be adopted in water distribution systems to control hygiene effectively?

The fight against bacterial proliferation in the water distribution system is a constant challenge for public buildings.
What technical solutions should they adopt to ensure effective hygiene control in the system?

Grab bars installed in toilets and showers must, by definition, have the most hygienic characteristics possible. More and more grab bars for people with reduced mobility are being presented as anti-bacterial.
What is the reality about anti-bacterial treatments? Is it a sustainable solution?

The TEMPOMATIC 4 electronic basin mixer has been specifically designed for public buildings:
100% hygiene, 90% water savings, installation and maintenance are simple, the complete package when it comes to technology.

In healthcare facilities, it is essential to choose the right mixers and taps to ensure that they are suitable for any type of user. Besides safety and hygiene, ergonomics is also a key element in the design of a mixer.
How do the sequential mixers developed by DELABIE meet these needs?

Choosing the right mixer for healthcare facilities is essential - contributing to patient safety, preventing nosocomial infections and overall comfort.
How does pressure-balancing technology (EP) meet these needs?

Not suitable for intensive use, WCs with cisterns were designed for domestic use and are a source of recurring problems in public buildings. Susceptible to scale build-up, and noisy, they encourage the proliferation of bacteria and pose a permanent risk of leaks when used in public and commercial environments.

Increased awareness about controlling consumption is gradually leading the population as a whole to adopt eco-responsible actions.
In the light of these new ecological and economic challenges, companies are now playing an increasingly active role, even more so when their products can impact directly on energy or water consumption.

The "design for all" trend is erasing the boundaries between washrooms designed for people with reduced mobility (PRM) and any other bathroom.

Toilet brushes, coat hooks, mirrors, toilet paper dispensers... Are these hygienic accessories, which are found in the home, suitable for buildings that are open to the public?

The introduction of this new French regulation for medical environments, means signifcant changes in the design of mechanical, thermostatic and electronic mixers. What are the changes that have been made? Why? And what can we learn?

In public places, washrooms must be able to withstand intensive and often heavy-handed use. 
Primarily designed to be robust and easy to maintain, sanitary furniture has evolved, gradually integrating an element that is becoming more and more important: aesthetics.

The DELABIE Group, expert in accessibility, has increased its range of grab bars and shower seats with its new design range Be-Line®.
Combining aesthetics and comfort, it offers hygiene, safety and a feeling of well-being to users - the elderly, people with reduced mobility or disabled people.

The quality and comfort associated with DELABIE's shower seats provide safety and well-being in the bathroom. Wall-mounted, lift-up, fold-away, hanging, fixed or removable shower seats: there is a DELABIE shower seat to meet every requirement.

The many advantages of direct flush make it the ideal system for buildings open to the public. Here is a reminder of its advantages which are still not widely known.

The many benefits of direct flush make it the ideal system for toilets facing high levels of demand in public places. We review its evolution and its advantages.

Many buildings are still not accessible to all. In the domain of sanitary facilities, the equipment offering has to meet regulatory requirements of those countries with legislation, as well as the needs of an ageing population.

The methods of eliminating Legionella in healthcare facilities are ineffective in the long term. Monitoring and implementing preventative tools provide the best solution for protecting hot water systems against the risk of contamination by Legionella.

In Europe, various schemes are being developed to demonstrate the quality and sustainability of water controls. The commercial water controls industry must ensure that an industry specific labelling system is put in place to highlights these attributes.
