Colored bathroom fixtures have always been an important proposal within the bathroom furniture sector and, even if they have never supplanted the classic and timeless glossy white, in recent years the color, especially in the matt finish, has become a must in this sector.
Glossy colored sanitary ware or opaque colored sanitary ware?
Over the last ten years, opaque colored sanitary ware has become more and more protagonist compared to glossy colored sanitary ware and an increasingly widespread choice among architects, designers and private individuals. It is no coincidence that in the Flaminia catalog the glossy finishes are reduced to a minimum to make room for the opaque ones, which recall natural materials and landscapes.
Vintage and modern colored sanitary ware
Compared to the colored sanitary ware of the 1980s, the current ones are completely different: if before the colors were bright, iridescent and bright, today they are soft, sober and opaque.
The vintage colored sanitary were in line with the inclinations of the moment linked to a multicolored and kaleidoscopic furniture.
Flaminia colored sanitary ware perfectly reflect the current trend. The company has always conceived color as a constitutive factor of a ceramic project and not a simple decorative element. In fact, the current color palette includes, in addition to glossy black and white, all the matt finishes of the available colors.
The enamels laboratory and the Flaminia Design Team work continuously to renew and expand the brand’s color range and to explore the concept of color more and more.
Colored suspended sanitary ware and colored flush to wall sanitary ware
In the wide Flaminia range, colored suspended sanitary ware and colored flush-to-wall sanitary ware are many, in fact, on most of the collections it is possible to have the colored version. The shades with opaque finishes currently in the catalog, such as Latte, Graphite, Anthracite, Lava Gray, Mud and Clay are available on many sanitaryware models, while Nuvola, Rosso Rubens and Petrolio only on the washbasins.
How to clean colored sanitary ware
Compared to traditional white, colored ceramic does not require particular maintenance. Cleaning white sanitary ware is like cleaning colored sanitary ware: if you use products containing bleach or descaler, it is important, after allowing time for the product to act, to rinse the surfaces thoroughly. More attention should be paid to cleaning the pot covers which, being made of another material and having metal hinges, can be damaged.
