Roca introduces touchless technology for maximum hygiene
Roca has introduced a new range of touchless products to deliver maximum hygiene in both domestic and commercial spaces.
Created in response to the growing demand for zero contact bathroom solutions, the new products range from basin mixers that activate automatically when they detect a user, to electronic flush plates with movement sensors, and mirrors with lights that are switched on with a simple gesture.
The EM1 Touchless dual flush valve offers zero contact and maximum hygiene, reducing the need to touch flush buttons. With a minimalistic design, the EM1 valve is powered by 4AA batteries and can be simply retrofitted to upgrade an existing push button to an automatic toilet flush button. With a wave of the hand, the EM1 recognises the required flush and the sleek sensor push button enables a hygienic flush.
Roca’s range of electronic basin mixers, including the Loft-E range, feature an infrared sensor which activates the water flow when presence is detected and shuts off automatically when presence is no longer detected, avoiding direct hand contact. The lack of contact improves hygiene and prevents the build-up of droplets and fingerprints on the surface of the tap resulting in a cleaner product for longer. The electronic mixers are available in a battery or mains operated system which means they can be installed in any bathroom, regardless of power outlet availability. The electronic device also stops the water flow after a preset usage time to promote moderate use and prevent unnecessary waste of water.
Mirrors with integrated touchless technology, such as the Prisma Comfort model, allow users to activate functions such as the ambient light or the de-mister device through movement which means less direct contact from hands allowing the glass to remain clean and clear.
Meanwhile, the EP-1 and EP-2 electronic operating plates make it possible to activate the toilet flush without touching it. Featuring a contemporary design and simple installation, the plates are activated by a hand wave, ensuring maximum hygiene. With a backlit surface divided into two stripes which are alternatively activated depending on the type of flush, the plates can be set off by bringing a hand closer or an automatic option which causes the toilet to clean instantly when the user approaches or after a specific amount of time.
