Coloured sanitary ware<\/strong> has always played a prominent role in the bathroom furniture sector, though it has never really ousted the classic and timeless glossy white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coloured sanitary ware – glossy or matt?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last ten years, matt<\/strong><\/a> coloured sanitary ware<\/strong> has become increasingly more popular than glossy coloured sanitary ware<\/strong> and a favourite choice by architects, planners and private individuals. This trend can be traced back to a growing focus on the environment that has spread across all sectors. Matt colours reminiscent of natural materials and landscapes are a must in modern interior design. Nowadays, however, after the predominance of matt finishes, glossy colours are experiencing a revival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vintage and modern coloured sanitaryware<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to the coloured sanitary ware of the 1980s<\/strong>, today’s bathroom fixtures are completely different: whereas before, the colours were bright, iridescent and glowing, today they are muted, sober and pastel. Vintage coloured sanitary ware<\/strong> was in line with the preference of the time for multicoloured, kaleidoscopic furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flaminia’s coloured sanitaryware<\/strong> perfectly embodies the current trend. The company has always conceived colour <\/a>as a constitutive factor of ceramic design, not as a mere decorative element. In addition to glossy black and white, in fact, Flaminia\u2019s current colour palette includes many glossy and matt nuances. Ongoing colour research has also led to the creation of a new Crystal finish which, when applied to products featuring a ceramic relief, creates a particular light-dark effect. Topazio<\/strong> and Smeraldo<\/strong>, two colours reminiscent of precious stones, are available with the special Crystal finish on the Settecento<\/strong><\/a> and Spire+<\/strong><\/a> washbasins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coloured sanitary ware: wall-hung and flush mounted<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flaminia’s wide range of sanitary ware<\/strong> includes many coloured wall-hung and flush-mounted models<\/strong>. On many collections, in fact, it is possible to have the coloured versions and match them with washbasins of the same colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to clean coloured sanitary ware<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is commonly believed that coloured sanitary ware needs special care for daily cleaning, but in actual fact it is not so. Compared to traditional white, coloured ceramics do not require any specific maintenance. Cleaning coloured sanitary ware<\/strong> is the same as cleaning white sanitary ware: if products containing bleach or limescale remover are used, it is important, after giving the product time to act, to rinse the surfaces thoroughly. Greater care should be taken when cleaning toilet seats, since they are made of a different material, have metal hinges, and can be damaged, but these recommendations are valid regardless of the colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
