"With our products, design and functionality always go hand in hand," says Auke Beving, director of TECE Netherlands. At Architect@Work, the manufacturer of plumbing and installation technology showed its latest innovations. One example was the TECEsquare control plate with a raw, industrial look.
TECE develops and manufactures a wide range of products, including concealed cisterns, control plates, shower profiles and floor heating systems. "With TECE, architects can give free rein to their creativity," Beving says. "This allows them to design bathrooms that are not only practical, but also an aesthetic highlight."
The TECEsquare control plate is a favorite of architects and bathroom designers thanks to its timeless shape and high-quality materials, according to Beving. At Architect@Work, the company showed the plate in several new metallic colors and glass surfaces. The new variant in "Rusted Steel" is characterized by a unique, manual finish. "This product was developed specifically for architects looking for materials with a pure, raw character," says Beving. "The matte rust look adds a unique flair to any space."
Furthermore, the TECEsquare collection has been expanded to include four new glass surfaces: Matte White, Matte Black, Matte Signal Gray and Matte Sand Beige. These new finishes offer a premium look with an impressive optical depth effect and subtle refractions of light. This premium look is also available in the TECEdrainline shower channel collection.
TECE also introduced new variants of the TECEsolid actuating plates and TECEdrainprofile. The TECEsolid toilet control plates are now available in four new brushed relief surfaces: graphite, nickel, brass and bronze. Beving: "These embossed surfaces perfectly match popular faucets and bathroom accessories and respond to popular interior design trends. This allows architects to further personalize their designs."
Another eye-catcher at the show was the new 1600 mm TECEdrainprofile, finished in an elegant brushed black finish. This extra-long shower profile offers an innovative solution for larger shower areas, without the need for tile modifications. Thanks to its PVD-coated surfaces, the profile is scratch and wear-resistant.
TECE's latest products are designed not only with aesthetics in mind, but also with functionality and ease of installation in mind. All actuating plates are compatible with all cisterns thanks to the modular construction box system, offering flexibility and ease of installation. The new TECEsquare and TECEsolid actuating plates, as well as the TECEdrainprofile, are available immediately.
