Designing bathrooms for public buildings presents a variety of challenges for architects and the operators of these facilities. In addition to looking great and being easy to maintain, these spaces must provide sanitary facilities suitable for barrier-free use. An increasing focus on equality and inclusivity in society means this requirement for accessibility is rightly more pronounced now than ever.


Villeroy & Boch has a reputation for producing sanitary ware that is robust, affordable and easy to clean – all properties that are demanded when specifying for public spaces.

This means incorporating accessories such as folding handles alongside sinks and toilets, as well as the mandatory inclusion of WCs with back support and longer projections. Villeroy & Boch’s ViCare and Function ranges fulfil the standards required in these spaces, including load-bearing capacity and enhanced ergonomics.
