Brand glossary

Understand each brand’s technologies, systems and finishes.

30 terms

These definitions explain manufacturer terms. A feature’s availability depends on the selected reference.

Geberit

5 terms
Duofix

Installation-frame system for drywall construction. Selection depends on the structure, anchors and available height.

Kombifix / Combifix

Elements designed for masonry construction. The selected model must be installed according to its assembly instructions.

Alpha

Cistern and flush-plate family. Choose a plate specified for Alpha; a Sigma plate is not an equivalent.

Sigma / Omega

Two distinct concealed-cistern families. Their names identify the control system to select before choosing the finish.

Dual flush

A choice of two flush volumes. Adjustable volumes depend on the cistern, not solely on the flush plate.

hansgrohe

6 terms
ComfortZone

A measure of usable space between tap and basin. Consider height together with spout reach and basin shape.

ExcellentFit

Results of tap-and-basin testing for usable space and splashing. A tested pairing applies to specific references.

EcoSmart

Flow-limiting technology. Compare each reference’s litres-per-minute value at the stated test pressure.

CoolStart

Water stays cold with the handle centred. Hot water requires a deliberate movement of the handle.

AirPower

Air is mixed into water to change the feel of the spray. The name alone does not specify a flow rate.

QuickClean

Flexible nozzles let you rub deposits away with a finger. This does not replace the finish’s care instructions.

AXOR

3 terms
FinishPlus

AXOR’s finish palette. Check the colour name, polished or brushed appearance and availability for each reference.

iBox universal / iBox universal 2

A basic set installed inside the wall before the trim. Check the generation and any adapter plate specified in the documentation.

ShowerSelect

Selection-based shower controls. Outlet count and possible combinations depend on the exact trim set.

THG Paris

3 terms
PVD

Physical vapour deposition: a surface-treatment process. It is neither one specific colour nor a maintenance-free guarantee.

Finish code

Surface identifier, such as A02 for chrome. Keep this code to coordinate accessories and prepare a price request.

Polished nickel

A metal finish that can tarnish. THG recommends regular care; follow this finish’s instructions rather than a chrome-cleaning recipe.

Deante

2 terms
Nero

Deante’s black-finish name. It describes a colour; check the product’s material and surface treatment separately.

Hydrophobic surface

A surface that helps water run off. The effect depends on the product and does not remove the need for cleaning.

Atlas Concorde

2 terms
Sensitech

Atlas Concorde surface technology combining grip and a softer feel. Check the exact finish’s classification for your intended use.

Porcelain stoneware

A ceramic material family. Floor, outdoor or wet-area suitability must be confirmed for the exact reference and finish.

Cifre Cerámica

3 terms
Rectified

A tile with machined edges for precise geometry. It does not mean joint-free installation is intended.

Wall tile

A tile intended for walls. Do not specify it for a floor without explicit confirmation of that use.

Polished / matt

Two surface appearances with different reflections. Visual finish does not replace use classification or slip-performance data.

Tagina

2 terms
20 mm

Thickness of certain slab variants. Check the laying system and intended use of the selected version, independently of its design.

R11

A slip-resistance class stated for certain finishes. It does not alone establish suitability for every barefoot use or shower area.

VOGI

2 terms
Water-seal trap

Retained water forms an odour barrier. Regular use maintains the water seal; check cleaning access.

Dry trap

A flap blocks odours without relying on a permanent water seal. Check the drain model and compatible insert.

PRESTO

2 terms
Timed-flow tap

The cycle closes automatically after a set time. Compare run time and flow to estimate water per activation.

An anti-blocking system designed to prevent continuous flow. Check the exact reference; not every timed-flow tap includes it.
