BRAND WITH AMERICAN ROOTS AND GERMAN ENGINEERING

Ideal Standard was established over a century ago to make radiators and cast boilers as a division of "American Radiator Corporation New York." The business entered the thriving sanitary industry in 1929 by merging with "Standard Sanitary Corporation."

This achievement results from continuous technical innovation and advancement, such as creating a single lever.

SPECIALITIES OF IDEAL STANDARD PRODUCTS

Each plumbing company has created distinctive coatings and technologies that contribute to the product's quality and set it apart from competing manufacturers. Additionally, Ideal Standard applies its methods and inventions.

SURFACE COATING TECHNOLOGY OF IDEAL STANDARD

Ideal Standard Ideal Plus: The Ideal Standard ceramic goods include an Ideal Plus glaze and are composed of crystal porcelain. This merely beads-off water and debris, ensuring easy cleaning and lifetime of the products. Ideal Standard and the technical partner 3M collaborated on creating the coating, which carries the TÜV Rheinland, Berlin/Brandenburg, quality seal.

OTHER IDEAL STANDARD TECHNOLOGIES

m-tech: Thermostatic valves have a long lifespan of flexibility thanks to unique membrane technology, and the fitting continues to perform as intended. The technique prevents calcification inside the valve, unlike conventional O-rings.

Click-Kartusche: When the valve is halfway up, faucets using the Click cartridge experience resistance. More water is only consumed when this is overcome. This can cut down on water use by up to 50%. Additionally, the extensive swivel range makes the temperature variable and hence simple to set.

AquaBlade: Despite using little water, the rimless toilet with AquaBlade technology impresses with an ideal rinsing solution. Additionally, the flat surface makes cleaning simple. Additional benefits include the low spray behaviour and reduced noise of AquaBlade toilets while flushing. They rinse 25% more quietly than Standard.

AntiKalk: The rubberized shower nozzles may be readily cleaned with a finger, and lime can be removed by simply rubbing it off, according to AntiKalk. This has the benefit of a lengthy lifespan.

Ideal Standard Cool Body

CoolBody: Since the waterways are not connected to the surface, they are not heated and cannot cause skin burns

EASY FIX and TOP FIX: The fittings are simple to install and pose little risk of leaking. The fitting may be easily fastened from above with the TOP FIX fastening. The EASY FIX faucets may be readily adjusted with a centring seal and have just one stud with which they are fixed. This makes it possible to centre the valve on the tap hole swiftly.

IdealPure: Because of the IdealPure technology, the faucet's body is never in contact with tap water. You will always have access to pure water that is uncontaminated by heavy metals like lead and nickel and is safe for drinking, cooking, and other uses.

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE PRODUCTS OF IDEAL STANDARD?

Each plumbing company has developed its own unique coatings and technologies that make up the quality of the products and differentiate them from other manufacturers. Ideal Standard also uses its own techniques and innovations.

THE IDEAL STANDARD SURFACE COATINGS

Ideal Standard Ideal Plus

Ideal Plus: The Ideal Standard ceramic products are made of crystal porcelain and provided with Ideal Plus glaze. This simply beads off water and dirt, thus ensuring easy cleaning and longevity of the products. During the development of the coating Ideal Standard worked together with the technology partner 3M and the coating bears the quality seal of TÜV Rheinland, Berlin / Brandenburg.

THE IDEAL STANDARD TECHNOLOGIES

Ideal Standard m-tech

m-tech®: Thanks to the special membrane technology for thermostatic valves, they remain flexible for a long time and the fitting retains its function. Unlike traditional O-rings, the technology prevents calcification inside the valve.

Ideal Standard ClickKartusche

Click-Kartusche: Faucets with the Click cartridge have a resistance when the valve is halfway up. Only when this is overcome, more water is consumed. This reduces water consumption by up to 50%. In addition, the temperature is infinitely variable thanks to the wide swivel range and thus easily adjustable.

Ideal Standard AquaBlade

AquaBlade®: The rimless toilet with the AquaBlade technology convinces with an optimal rinsing solution despite low water consumption. The smooth surface also supports easy cleaning. Another advantage is the low spray behavior during flushing and the noise reduction: AquaBlade rinses 25% quieter than conventional toilets.

AntiKalk

AntiKalk: The rubberized nozzles of the showers can be easily cleaned with a finger and lime can be simply rubbed off. This has a long life to the advantage.

Ideal Standard Cool Body

CoolBody: The waterways are decoupled from the surface, which makes them not hot and no one can burn their skin on it.

Ideal Standard Easy Fix und Top Fix

EASY FIX and TOP FIX: The fittings can be installed quickly and easily and the risk of leakage is minimized. The TOP FIX fastening allows the fitting to be fastened conveniently from above. The EASY FIX faucets have only one stud, with which they are fixed, and can be easily adjusted with a centering seal. This allows the valve to be centered quickly and easily on the tap hole.

Ideal Standard IdealPure

IdealPure: Thanks to the IdealPure technology, the tap water never comes into contact with the faucet body. This will always give you pure water for cooking, rinsing and drinking that can not absorb heavy metals like lead and nickel from the faucet.
