Durability is more than a trend – it reflects a fundamental shift in values. In an era where the consumption cycle for products is increasingly rapid, there is a growing need for consistency, quality, and the sparing use of resources. This transition is also apparent in the home design segment, and most notably in the bathroom, which can represent a long-term investment with an average lifecycle of 15 to 20 years.
Duravit AG is no stranger to this kind of aspiration. As a complete bathroom provider, the company has been a byword for durable products and uncompromising quality. Longevity is not a short-term goal, but is
firmly embedded in the corporate philosophy. This has been the case since long before social attitudes shifted to embrace greater sustainability. Today’s consumers demand products that are functional, reliable, and have timeless aesthetics. Duravit’s products have a proven track record of daily use.
Design that endures – quality that impresses
Timelessness is not the product of chance, but rather the result of deliberate design decisions. Working with internationally renowned designers who help shape the vision of long-lasting design, Duravit develops products that impress with clean lines, suitability for everyday use, and design consistency. The focus here is on more than visual longevity: the solutions also aspire to long-term functionality. Modular construction principles, high-quality surfaces, and reliable sourcing of spare parts significantly contribute to an extended usage life.
Ceramic with tradition and a future
Duravit has built its reputation on producing high-quality sanitary ceramic – a time-tested material known for its durability. Made from natural materials, ceramic offers exceptional robustness and long-lasting performance, making it ideal for washbasins, toilets, and other bathroom applications.
Thanks to scratch and abrasion-resistant, easy-clean, and light and heat-resistant surfaces, ceramic meets the highest requirements in everyday bathroom use. Duravit combines elegant design with exceptional durability through innovative materials like DuraCeram®. Optimised manufacturing processes further reduce raw material use and lower carbon emissions.Finishing technologies such as the DuraShield® 2-in-1 protective glaze enhance long-lasting functionality and timeless aesthetics while actively improving hygiene and safety.
Bathroom furniture with resilience
Moisture is one of the most significant challenges in the bathroom, which Duravit addresses by utilising selected, high-quality materials and structural design features, including laminated panels, real-wood veneers, high-quality lacquers, water-repellent ABS edges bonded with a water-resistant PU adhesive, as well as certified hardware that is machined in conjunction with longstanding partners. The surfaces are resistant to scratches, warping, mould formation, and high humidity.
The furniture is tested under extreme conditions in the in-house climatic chamber. Additionally, drawers and hinges are required to withstand up to 80,000 opening cycles. The PEFC-certified plant in Schenkenzell (PEFC/04-31-2357) manufactures the furniture according to the highest environmental and energy efficiency standards. Each piece undergoes a thorough quality inspection to guarantee functionality, surface quality, and a flawless finish.
Durable faucets – intelligent water consumption.
Duravit faucets combine precise technical functionality, durable materials, and sustainable technologies. They are made from robust brass and are equipped with low-maintenance ceramic cartridges. PVD-coated surfaces enhance scratch resistance and offer reliable protection against corrosion, even in high-use and regularly cleaned environments.
Before launching a product to market, the company rigorously tests all faucets through extensive endurance trials to ensure long-term washing comfort and functionality. Features like FreshStart and MinusFlow help conserve energy and reduce water consumption, all while maintaining a high level of user comfort. AirPlus technology enhances the experience by delivering a fuller, more pleasant water jet. As a result, these faucets offer lasting performance, visual appeal, and a seamless fit for bathroom designs focused on quality, sustainability, and longevity.
