Urinals

No bathroom or guest toilet should be without a urinal. And that's not just because men prefer to do their business standing up. Urinals consume only two litres of precious water per flush, and some use just one litre. Standard toilets use between six and nine litres of water per flush. This way, you'll save plenty of water with a urinal.

Our Manufacturers

We offer urinals from all top brands. Models from Villeroy & Boch, Geberit (formerly Keramag), Ideal Standard, Laufen and Duravit are highly popular, particularly when they come from the manufacturer's top series, such as Subway, Renova Nr.1, Connect or Starck.

You'll also find high-quality urinals from lesser known brands such as Globo, VitrA and Scarabeo. Grohe, the global market leader for fittings, has recently added urinals to its range.

Urinal Designs

Urinals need to be shaped in such a way as to prevent as much spray as possible. Designers are limited when it comes to the shape of these bowls. Nevertheless, they have developed a number of models in a range of appealing designs. Models exist in a minimalist design as well as retro and luxurious designs.

Standing or wall-mounted?

Urinals are usually wall-mounted, however standing urinals are also available. If a wall-mounted urinal is to be integrated into a in-wall-installation, it will need special mounting elements. These include semi-recessed urinals which offer space-saving benefits since they are partially incorporated into the wall. These are an elegant solution in guest toilets where space is often more limited.

As with toilets, urinals are usually made from sanitary ceramic. This material is easy to clean and is virtually indestructible. Even the strongest urine can cause no harm when not even concentrated hydrochloric acid damages the ceramic. There is therefore no need to use other materials. Seldom found are urinals made from stainless steel or acrylic. These are usually only found in public toilets.

Urinals and Technology

Out of sight: urinals with partition walls. Normally, urinals have a flush system but there are also waterless urinals which use no water or chemicals. Flushing is carried out either manually or contactless. The water flow is activated upon approaching via infrared technology. Regular flushing takes place in heavily frequented toilets.

With flushometers

Urinals are often fitted with a flushometer. This has the benefit of no cistern being required. With a flushometer, the required water flows at high pressure from the mains into the urinal. This creates a loud noise. There are manual triggering urinals which work pneumatically or without contact.

Siphonic urinals

Siphonic urinals are relatively common. They consist of a siphon for extraction, an odour trap based on the siphoning principle. All aquarium owners are familiar with the siphoning principle which involves cleaning the aquarium water with a hose placed in a lower-lying container. This vacuum causes the waste water in the urinal to flow into the waste pipe.

Electronic senso

You'll find several urinals with electronic sensors in our store. These so-called electric urinals flush automatically so you don't have to.

Electrically-operated urinals are highly practical in public toilets where hygiene standards need to be met. After all, many people often forget to flush after using the urinal. Electrically-operated urinals are hygienic because no contact needs to be made with the unit.

Wall Partition for Privacy

Multiple urinals are often placed next to each other in public toilets. To provide a little privacy, a partition wall is usually placed between each urinal. It's not without reason that they are often referred to as urinal screens.

Urinal screens are available in various designs and materials such as sanitary ceramic or glass.

Waterless Urinals

Some urinals do not use water and are also known as dry urinals. A secure connection is important here and ensuring that the urine flows into the drain.

There are various waterless urinal systems available on the market. They work using floating or membrane technology, or with the help of a barrier fluid.

We offer waterless urinals.

Urinals for the corner

A urinal can be mounted in the corner to save space. You do not need a special corner urinal, a normal urinal also works.

You only need the corresponding on-the-wall element. This is mounted in the corner of the room in such a way that you can connect a urinal to it as normal.

We have urinal modules for the corner from Grumbach and Tece in the shop. See for yourself which system is best suited for your purposes.

Here you go to the corner elements.

Urinal Flies

To improve the accuracy of the user, urinals with an image of a fly can be found. A picture of a fly is stuck to the sanitary ceramic. These are mainly found in public toilets to reduce cleaning costs. Other things such as a football goal and ball are sometimes found instead of flies. This promotes the play instinct and keeps the area around the urinal cleaner.

Urinals with Covers

There are hardly any urinals with covers in male public toilets. However, for private use a urinal with a cover can be useful. For one, it looks nicer and any odours are contained underneath the cover. You can select urinals with covers under the menu item “Suitable” or simply click this link.

Only certain types of cover fit the urinals in our store because urinals are all shaped differently. Either the cover comes with the urinal or you'll find one under “Accessories”.

Mounting Height

The mouting height should be tailored to the size of the user. Taller people should mount them higher, and shorter people mount them lower. There is often a compromise to be found when urinals are used by men of different heights. It's worth checking the manufacturer's recommendations.

Most manufacturers recommend a mounting height of 65 cm for the lower edge of the urinal opening and around 89 cm for the top edge of the urinal. These dimensions are fine for men measuring 1.75 m, however for men measuring 1.90 m you should add a few more centimetres here.

If urinals are being installed in nurseries or schools, the following heights apply: for children aged between seven and eleven years, a mounting height of 50 cm (lower edge of urinal opening) and for young people aged between eleven and fifteen a height of 57 cm is recommended.
