The evolution of the bathroom is increasingly driven by material choice. Beyond fittings and finishes, surfaces now define how a space performs, endures and ultimately feels. In both residential and commercial bathrooms, users look for long-lasting solutions that use robust, dependable materials able to maintain their appearance through many years of intensive, high-traffic use.
As modern lifestyles grow busier and expectations rise, bathroom surfaces face new demands. Today’s homeowners seek more than just aesthetic appeal, instead they want materials that not only look great but are also low‑maintenance, hygienic, and durable enough to resist moisture and everyday wear. At the same time, sustainability has become a key consideration, making the choice of surface material more important than ever.
Introducing the RAUVISIO crystal collection
Developed by REHAU, the RAUVISIO crystal collection is the elegant alternative to real glass, delivering the same visual brilliance with superior everyday practicality. Introduced this year, the new RAUVISIO crystal pure collection combines a refined, glass-like appearance with outstanding performance credentials.
Around 50% lighter than glass and up to ten times more impact-resistant, it is safer to handle, easier to install and compatible with standard woodworking tools. Available in both high-gloss and matt finishes, the collection is offered in timeless colours including crisp whites, soft neutrals and deep dark tones, supporting both understated minimalist schemes and more expressive bathroom interiors.
Crucially, its properties make RAUVISIO crystal pure suitable for private residential bathrooms, but also for large-scale commercial and hospitality projects, where durability, hygiene and long-term reliability are essential. Moisture resistance, colour stability and easy cleaning make the RAUVISIO crystal pure collection a low‑maintenance, high‑performance solution, offering an outstanding design choice for spaces subjected to frequent, everyday use.
REHAU will showcase its RAUVISIO crystal surface collection at the upcoming Surface Design Show 2026 at stand 364. In addition to its main collection, the brand will demonstrate creative applications and innovative fabrication techniques, including bespoke shapes and tailored design solutions that highlight the material’s flexibility and craftsmanship potential.
At REHAU, surfaces matter because they shape how spaces function every day. With RAUVISIO crystal pure, surfaces do not simply complement the bathroom – they define it.
