Duravit has launched Sustano, a recyclable shower tray that is manufactured from the sustainable material DuraSolid Nature.

Sustano’s flush-mounted application lends itself to a seamless spaciousness. The elegant, calm design language is perfectly attuned to contemporary bathrooms.

Duravit’s new Sustano shower trays feature a flat, rimless design which allows for installation flush with the floor in conjunction with an integrated flush outlet cover.  They are available in six different colourways and a wide range of dimensions with an attractive entry-level price. This provides a unique and creative bathroom design offering, which is especially suited to renovation projects.

DuraSolid Nature: The new sustainable stone-based mineral material
Sustano is the first product to be launched using Duravit’s new and innovative material DuraSolid Nature.  It is the company’s first recyclable mineral material and includes a host of outstanding qualities, including low weight, adaptability, and ease of cutting on a construction site. The shower trays are robust, easy to clean, UV-resistant, and extremely pleasant underfoot.  The matt surface versions have the added benefit of anti-slip properties.

Sustano is Duravit’s first recyclable DuraSolid Nature shower tray. Not only do the shower trays feature a flat, rimless design for installation flush with the floor, they also come in a wide range of dimensions.

Ideal for renovation projects and easy to install
Every millimetre counts when installing shower trays and Sustano has an extremely low installation height of just 30mm. The self-supporting shower tray enables flush-mounted installation even in renovation projects with a low floor height. It can also be installed in floor-mounted or semi-recessed applications. In addition Sustano provides excellent flexibility as 100mm can be removed from each side of the tray, even on the construction site, which makes it simple to modify when necessary. Its low weight makes the Sustano trays easy to handle, enabling it to be installed by one person.

Robust and easy to clean
Shower trays made from DuraSolid Nature have a high surface hardness and density, making them comparatively impervious to damage and soiling. A soft cloth with warm water or a gentle cleaning agent is all that is needed. The pore-free surface generates a refined finish and a pleasantly warm, appealing feeling on the skin. The versions in the matt colours feature a velvety surface, while the glossy shades offer a smoother surface feeling. The flat, easy-to-clean outlet cover is a lattice structure in the same colour as the shower tray. It integrates into the trays unobtrusively, both visually and physically. There is also an optional cover available in stainless steel.

Maximum safety and accessibility
The material’s special surface texture means that Sustano shower trays with a matt surface attain anti-slip class C with no additional coating. This is the highest classification for wet (barefoot) areas, like shower rooms, and guarantees maximum safety. The surface of the glossy white variant is comparable to Duravit’s acrylic shower trays. The 1200×1200 mm flush-mounted Sustano model is also suitable for accessible bathroom planning and can be utilised with a wheelchair.

Versatile design options combined with sustainable, recyclable material
The Sustano shower trays can be installed flush with the floor, semi-recessed, or on the floor tiles depending on structural factors and preference. The flush-mounted application is particularly impressive, as it lends itself to a seamless spaciousness.

Mindful of its responsibility when it comes to the environment, its employees, and future generations as a complete bathroom solutions provider, Duravit is committed to treating resources with respect and supplying products that are especially long lasting and sustainable.

Thanks to their low weight, Sustano shower trays are lighter to transport, thereby contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions. Even more important is the material’s durability and recyclability following the usage phase. At the end of their useful life, Sustano shower trays can be returned either to Duravit or to a local recycling centre to keep within the life-cycle principle. The recycled materials can be reused to manufacture new shower trays or can be applied to industrial use.
