Date: 13 may 2022

As part of the "new normal", touchless or contactless solutions for bathrooms have become especially significant, because they enable us to avoid contact with taps and other fittings which may have been used by many people during the day. Such solutions are especially important for public or shared bathrooms, but they are increasingly being used in private bathrooms as well.

Touchless bathrooms have become the perfect solution since the health crisis raised our awareness of the risk of viruses spreading through such frequent natural gestures as touching our faces. This has made contactless technology one of the best options for safety in bathrooms.

Accessories such as sensor taps are increasingly in demand for public bathrooms, in hotels, restaurants, shopping centres and stations, for example, but also in the home.

In the current situation, touchless bathrooms are a must in public spaces. But distinctive design is important too, if you want to achieve the "wow" effect, creating an eye-catching and truly memorable space. Where every detail counts.

These taps offer endless aesthetic possibilities: as well as chrome, they are available in a range of Finish Studio finishes such as brushed and gloss copper, brushed and gloss titanium, and matt black.

The taps also reduce water consumption, as they stop running while you wash your hands, and help to save on energy, as you can choose cold start as the default.

The new Round soap dispenser and taps are available in top-mounted or embedded versions to adapt to any project.

As we have already commented, public and shared bathrooms have much higher levels of traffic than domestic bathrooms. The sheer number of people using them makes contactless solutions absolutely essential.

In this sense, one of the trends that has been imposed is the opening and closing of doors, as well as.

Although your home is possibly the safest place to be during the pandemic, you also need to step up your precautions in your house bathroom. Incorporating contactless elements into the planning and design of the space in a private home will provide a number of benefits.

  • Electronic taps with sensors can be operated without making any physical contact, making your bathroom a much more hygienic and safer space. They also save on water consumption, as the tap stops running whilst you wash your hands - without you even having to touch the taps. Most of our models such as our Round, Square, Tono, Hotels and Irta designs incorporate Noken Eco Flow technology, optimising water consumption and achieving savings of up to 70%.

  • Now that we use hand sanitising gel so much more to prevent catching the virus, using touchless dispensers is a must.

  • Touchless toilet flush systems are highly hygienic solutions for public or hotel bathrooms, and are operated by the IR I-Comfort Line flushing system, available in steel or Finish Studio matt black. Another solution is our direct feed urinal with an IR flush valve, which uses an infrared sensor to control the flush. These contactless flushing systems don't only mean users can avoid contact when activating the flush, but also ensure the tank flushes in between each use. This is something that improves both hygiene and the user experience in public bathrooms.
