Strong materials features for lasting values
Clean, secure, economic and ecological: Kaldewei bathtub models offer longterm planning safety to hotel operators
Ahlen, in January 2011. – International hotel groups and future-oriented hotel
operators more than ever use high-quality branded products in their hotels.
Guests' demands to hotels in general and the rooms in particular have by now
become very high. "Made in Germany" has long been synonymous with quality
and longevity.
In particular in the hotel bathroom, guests expect high-quality interior, combined
with comfortable and hygienic equipment that does not show any signs of use. Hotel
operators therefore are primarily looking for cleanliness, safety and price-efficiency
when selecting a product. The ideal has proven to be the products of Kaldewei,
Europe's leading manufacturer for bathtubs, showers and whirl tubs. With the
highest quality and longevity, combined with functional design, surviving even daily
use over many years undamaged, they are a sensible investment. Not just the
guests but also the hotel operators profit from them.
Highly resilient: Steel enamel tubs resist continuous strain
Hotel bathrooms require attractive sanitary equipment that complies with this
demand for years, even under intense strain by many different bathing and
showering habits. To prevent bathtubs from showing guests what they had to deal
with over the years, hotel operators will find it helpful to use robust Kaldewei steel
enamel 3.5 mm tubs in the long term. The premium bathroom fitter's models
enable exclusive bathing pleasure, integrate perfectly into stylish room concepts
due to their high design requirements and convince with their easy-care surface of
precious steel enamel. It is scratch- and abrasion-proof, acid-resistant and resistant
against cosmetic and medical bath additives. It will continue to shine like new even
at daily use for many years – in contrast to acrylic tubs that often sport ugly
scratches and other signs of use even after a short period of time. The
manufacturer emphasises these great materials features of steel enamel 3.5
millimetres in his 30 years warranty, offering additional planning safety for the hotel
operator since no expensive bath renovations are required due to wear.
Steel enamel 3.5 millimetres floor-level showers
A trend towards designing modern hotel bathrooms as spacious and open-plan
rooms is now evident. Floor-level showers made of 3.5 millimetres steel enamel of
Kaldewei are very trendy. Their particular advantage towards tiled shower areas is
that a shower area without joints is not only more hygienic but also much faster to
clean. This is confirmed by a comparative test by the “TÜV Produkt und Umwelt
GmbH”. According to this test, high-quality steel enamel floor-level showers show a
significantly lower surface contamination with bacteria and require significantly less
cleaning effort. The floor-level showers also ensure that hotel operators are
permanently protected from unpleasant surprises such as moisture damage from
leaking joints.
Housekeeping made easy with easy-care surfaces
In particular in the housekeeping area, quick and efficient work without any loss of
quality is important from an economic point of view. The Kaldewei showers and
bathtubs with their easy-care, hygienic and glass-hard surface have clear
advantages here. Bathing and shower additives that often leave an ugly film on
acrylic tubs can be removed quickly and easily here. This already low cleaning effort
can be further reduced by additionally finishing the enamel surface with a easyclean finish. The stoved surface finish permanently repels water, dirt and scale.
Hygienic cleaning of the tubs requires much less water. Aggressive cleaning agents
are a thing of the past and the cleaning process in general shortens noticeably.
Even dried-in water stains and scale residue can be easily removed with a moist
cloth. Another advantage: The materials mix of the overall bathroom equipment is
as homogeneous as possible. With their easy-care glass surfaces, the steel enamel
Kaldewei bathtubs and showers perfectly integrate into the hotel's bathroom. Mirror
surfaces, separations and tubs can be cleaned with the same agents. This is a clear
advantage not only from an economical but also from an ecological point of view.
Consistent environmental orientation – this is an aspect that Kaldewei has been committed
to for many years. Kaldewei uses only natural materials which are one hundred per
cent recyclable – steel and enamel – in its products. Apart from this, the company
uses steel that is already 20 percent recycled for its bathtubs and showers.
Kaldewei was the first bathroom furnisher that was "Green Design" ISO 14025certified according to the IBU environmental declaration and received the German
quality seal for sustainable building. Thus, bathtubs and shower trays in steel
enamel can be used for sustainably planned hotels.
Diversity and comfort for individual design tolerances
Kaldewei meets diverse requirements with its comprehensive product range and
offers hotel operators a matching solution for any room situation with its about 350
bathtub and shower models: Free-standing bathtubs for large bathrooms, practical
integrated versions, rectangular or oval tubs and a diverse offer of shower trays.
Furthermore, Kaldewei provides seven different whirl systems, with in particular the
Vivo Turbo and Vivo Turbo Plus whirl systems customised precisely to the
requirements of the hotel business. They work without tubing and therefore are
particularly hygienic and low-noise.
Clean, secure, economic and ecological - four characteristics that are typical
for Kaldewei showers and bathtubs and that meet the specific requirements
of the hotel business. There is a reason why hotel managers, architects and
interior designers around the world have for several decades been using Kaldewei's
tub models in bathroom design. Thus, the new Armani design hotel in the Burj
Khalifa Dubai, the highest house of the world, the Peninsula in Shanghai and
different cruise ships such as the Celebrity Solstice, are just a few of the many
domiciles trusting in bathtub models produced in Ahlen, North-Rhine Westphalia,
offering their guests exclusive bathing comfort in an unmistakable atmosphere.
