Bathroom Ceramics

If you are looking for high-quality sanitary ware at great prices, you'll be sure to find them in the Reuter online store. We only offer products from renowned brands manufacturers such as Villeroy & Boch, Geberit (formerly Keramag), Grohe and Duravit. At Reuter, the toilets, washbasins, bidets and urinals from these manufacturers are often 50 percent cheaper than the recommended retail price. You can be sure of a top-quality branded product.

What is sanitary ware?

The word ceramics implies that bathroom ceramics are made from a particular material. This is not entirely true, since this goes far beyond the generic term for certain sanitary products. Toilets, washbasins, urinals and bidets are available in a wide variety of designs. These also include toilet seats, urinal covers and cisterns to complete the bathroom ceramic items.

Sanitary ware is generally made from sanitary ceramic, but not always. For example, washbasins can be made from glass, natural stone, mineral cast, concrete or steel enamel. Ceramic is usually the material of choice for urinals, bidets and toilets and only sanitary ceramic is offered in our store. Other materials such as metal are also possible.

Conclusion: bathroom ceramic items are not necessarily related to the material even if they are usually made from sanitary ceramic.

Which Bathroom Ceramics are Best?

DIY store, online shop, specialist retailer - which bathroom ceramics are best? This is not an easy question to answer. You may be completely disappointed or fully satisfied. It always depends on your requirements and needs. Some people prefer cheaper and DIY-friendly, others place more value on the design.

What we can say is that you'll be sure to find high-quality bathroom ceramics that provide long-lasting joy from the manufacturers in our store. You can also choose what is particularly popular with other bathroom owners. Here are some especially popular bathroom ceramics series:

• Villeroy & Boch with the Subway 2.0, O.novo, Venticello, Avento, Artis range
• Geberit (formerly Keramag) with the iCon, Xeno², it!, Renova Nr.1, Acanto range
• Duravit with the Me by Starck, Happy D.2, Vero, Starck, D-Code range
• LAUFEN with the Pro, Palomba Collection, VAL range
• Ideal Standard with the Connect, Connect Air, Tonic II, Dea range

For many of the ceramic ranges listed above, you can find matching bathroom furniture from the same range in our store. This particularly applies to vanity units. There is a matching vanity unit for virtually every washbasin, regardless of whether it's a countertop basin, double washbasin or hand washbasin. This is another quality feature. You can design your entire bathroom in a particular style.

Bathroom Ceramic Items for Small Bathrooms & Guest Toilets

Small bathrooms and guest toilets shouldn't be without elegant bathroom ceramic items. You can often find them in the same range as those for “big” bathrooms.

Generally speaking, small bathrooms require bathroom ceramic items with compact measurements. This could mean shallower hand washbasins or washbasins. Shorter toilets that don't extend as far out into the room are also available. You won't need to forgo any standards of comfort, however; these toilets are just as comfortable as their larger versions.

Bathroom ceramic colours

Colours are not such a big issue when it comes to bathroom ceramic items. The majority of products come in an elegant white colour. Pergamon is also a commonly found colour. Bahama beige, moss green or curry yellow can still often be found in nostalgic bathrooms. Colour is usually only considered when choosing a washbasin made from concrete or glass. There is one exception however: black has been more frequently used in bathroom ceramic items over the past few years. We offer toilets and washbasins in a stylish black tone.

Coated or Non-Coated

The majority of manufacturers in our store offer coated and non-coated versions of their bathroom ceramic items. At Villeroy & Boch their coating is called CeramicPlus, at Geberit (formerly Keramag) it's KeraTect and at Duravit it's Wondergliss. The overall effect is pretty much the same. The coating causes dirt and limescale to roll off the ceramic, making it less susceptible to soiling. This in turn means less cleaning is required. The lotus effect also means you need less detergent. It's no surprise that coated bathroom ceramic items are more expensive.

Our Manufacturers

You'll find renowned manufacturers from all over Europe in our store. The majority of them come from Germany, such as Villeroy & Boch, Duravit, Geberit (formerly Keramag) and Alape. But also fans of Italian bathroom ceramics will find what they are looking for - in brands such as antonio lupi, boffi, Globo and Scarabeo. LAUFEN offers high-quality bathroom ceramics from Switzerland, and the Turkish provider VitrA is also a big name. When it comes to showers and toilets Geberit and Grohe are names to have on your list.

Various Designs

You'll find mostly modern bathroom ceramic items in our store. Modern means clear, purist design without all the frills. Modern also means on-the-wall technology that special bathroom ceramic items require, such as wall-mounted toilets rather than floorstanding toilets.

Anyone specifically looking for nostalgic bathroom ceramic items will find plenty of these at Reuter too. Many manufacturers offer one or two classic lines in their range. Some of these include the Hommage and La Belle lines from Villeroy & Boch, the 1930 line from Duravit or the Symphonie II and Delphi series from Jörger.

Bathroom Ceramics for Wheelchair Accessible Bathrooms

Older people and disabled people have special requirements when it comes to bathroom ceramics. These include wheelchair-accessible washbasins. They are designed to prevent wheelchair users from hitting their knees when approaching the sink. Higher toilets are also practical. They make standing up and sitting down easier.
