Bathroom installation project
S
outh African sanitary technol-
ogy and ceramic products sup-
plier Geberit has announced
a number of new additions to the
range.
T
his includes the Kombifix
concealed cistern with Sigma01 dual
flush actuator plate in white.
The trend in bathrooms is towards
a minimalistic and elegant look and
form and function are balanced with
a creative and beautiful design.
Geberit’s concealed cisterns play a
large role in this trend which cleverly
conceals the plumbing and piping in
thewall. The Geberit Kombifix cistern
wall hung toilet, together with the
Geberit Sigma01 dual flush plate of-
fers a beautiful functional design. It is
suitable for installation in solid wall
constructions and the reliable system
operates quietly and efficiently and
the factory settling offers a dual 3 or
6 litre flush option, which saves water.
It is simple and practical to install.
The Sigma01 Actuator/Flush Plate
reflects the contemporary trend to-
wards minimalism and simplicity in
the bathroom. The two overlapping
circles within the Sigma01 flush plate
require just a gentle push to operate
the desired flush volume of the toilet.
It has been designed to make it easy
for the user to identify the flushes,
with the large button activating the
full flush of six litres and the smaller
one activating the single flush of just
three litres.

viding residents with access to a
fully functional bathroom attached
to their dwelling is one of the ways in
whichwe aim to restore dignity to the
previously disadvantaged residents
of Netreg.
We are proud of our progress with
the installation of these bathrooms.
The perseverance of our Human
