From a freestanding washbasin to a modern designer model

Ceramic washbasins for the bathroom are available in numerous shapes and designs: ensuring the perfect product for every taste. Corner washbasins, such as the models from the Subway 2.0 collection, impress with their simple elegance. You can also find double washbasins in ceramic, for example, in the Avento series. For a more striking look, choose a surface-mounted ceramic washbasin from collections such as Architectura and Artis. The selection naturally also includes practical built-in washbasins for sanitary ceramic vanity units. You can find elegant models in Villeroy & Boch’s O.novo and Loop & Friends collections.

Sanitary ceramic washbasins are robust and easy to care for. They are sensitive only to falling objects. Impacts can cause the washbasin to chip. Other than this, ceramic washbasins are highly resistant.

Toilets: flush mechanisms, seat designs and more

Almost all toilets in Villeroy & Boch’s collections are made from bathroom ceramic. This brings you all the benefits of a robust material with no compromises on design. A wide range of optional features are also available for your toilet. On request, the toilets from the Subway 3.0 collection can be supplied with AntiBac and CeramicPlus – for more details, see below. You can also decide whether you would like a SoftClosing mechanism for your toilet or a removable QuickRelease seat. Ceramic toilets come in different shapes to allow easy coordination with the other sanitary fittings in your bathroom.

From a wall-mounted toilet to a freestanding model – a sanitary ceramic toilet is a promise of high quality. Villeroy & Boch’s wide selection of ceramic toilets includes models for accessible or disability-friendly bathrooms in collections such as ViCare.

Shower trays for every taste

Previously the material of choice for shower trays, ceramic has now been added by acrylic and Quaryl®. However, you can still find a wide range of ceramic shower trays – including in Villeroy & Boch’s collections. For a striking look in your bathroom, choose a customised shower tray from the Subway Infinity collection in dimensions tailored to your space. You can also find a selection of quadrant shower trays in the O.novo collection.

Villeroy & Boch can meet requirements for more classic shapes too. The Lifetime Plus collection includes square and rectangular walk-in shower trays that are ideal for accessible bathrooms or elderly users.

Bidets are making a comeback

Bidets first appeared in the 17th century and, after more or less fading into oblivion, they are now making a comeback. Bidet designs include both wall-mounted and floor-standing versions. Browse the selection of square and semicircular models and choose a bidet that appeals to your personal taste. The models from the Venticello collection are particularly popular, closely followed by the classic Subway 3.0 bathroom collection.

The shower toilet is a modern alternative to the classic bidet and combines the advantages of a conventional toilet with the features of a bidet. A shower toilet is a particularly practical 2-in-1 solution for bathrooms that are not big enough for both a toilet and a bidet. Shower toilets, for example, from the ViClean collection, are also increasingly being used in accessible bathroom designs as they allow gentle hands-free cleansing.

Ceramic tiles: not just for the floor

Ceramic is a popular choice for bathroom tiles, mainly due to the advantages of this material: it makes tiles robust, resistant to moisture and easy to clean. Ceramic tiles are usually described as earthenware or stoneware in the retail sector. Ceramic floors, walls and surfaces will look elegant and modern in your bathroom. You can find ceramic tiles in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colours.

The Villeroy & Boch Bellagio collection will add a touch of Italian style to your bathroom. The attractively understated colour of these marbled tiles makes bathroom furniture and sanitary fittings really stand out. Are you looking for a natural, homely look? The Back Home collection is a perfect choice and comes in a wide range of natural shades. For a highlight effect, combine a lighter background colour with a darker accent shade.

Why ceramic? The unique advantages

Today, "ceramic" is primarily used as a general term for all sanitary ware in the bathroom. Ceramic is a material mixture consisting of limestone and quartz sand. The terms "bathroom ceramic" and "sanitary ceramic" are used synonymously with "ceramic"—there is no difference between them.

Today, many bathroom fixtures are made of ceramic. This allows you to furnish your bathroom comfortably and uniformly with ceramic, creating a harmonious overall look. Furthermore, ceramic bathroom elements are high-quality and automatically appear more sophisticated than products made of other materials. Even tiles and bathroom shelves are now made of ceramic, so the entire bathroom can have a seamless, unified appearance.

Furthermore, ceramic offers several advantages over other materials for sanitary ware. We'll gladly explain these in more detail.

Resistance to Moisture

Ceramics are perfect for the bathroom: they resist moisture, steam, boiling water, hair dyes, and acids. Thanks to the smooth surface, they are easy to clean and maintain their shine for a long time even without strong cleaners.

Durability and Robustness

Bathroom ceramics impress with durability: even after decades, they stay shiny, scratch- and fade-resistant, easy to care for, and heat-resistant. The smooth surface prevents wear and keeps your bathroom looking radiant for years.

Aesthetic Variety

Bathroom ceramics stand for quality, timeless design, and easy-care elegance. Whether classic in white or grey or modern in black, they enhance any bathroom, turn small spaces into wellness oases, and can be combined in many ways.

Points to consider for bathroom ceramic

High-quality bathroom ceramic will look beautiful in your bathroom for many years to come. For a harmonious effect, choose a ceramic washbasin, toilet and shower tray for your bathroom and add the finishing touch with ceramic tiles. Always choose high-quality bathroom ceramic.
