Brand glossary

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
