Geberit believes freshness is a necessity, not a luxury. Its revolutionary DuoFresh technology scrubs bad air, recycling it so you don’t have to use harsh chemical sprays

In addition to being the sense most closely linked to memory, smell is the most highly emotive of all our five senses, as any professional fragrance firm will testify.

Perfumers have worked hard to develop scents that tap into a vast array of human emotions and feelings: desire, power, vitality or relaxation perhaps, thereby triggering our powerful olfactory systems.

Everybody from supermarket bosses to car makers have experimented with the use of aromas drawn from baking bread or antique leather to encourage us to buy their products.

Yet while estate agents routinely urge house sellers to waft the scent of freshly brewed coffee around their properties before buyers arrive, when it comes to our bathrooms, malodorous atmospheres have lingered.

Inadequately tackled by powerful chemical sprays that merely compound the problem or via fully opened windows – even when there is snow on the ground – bathroom smells have long been tolerated rather than tackled head-on.

All that has changed, however, with the advent of Geberit's DuoFresh, a new, easy-to-use and energy-saving innovation.

The DuoFresh seeks to inject a welcome burst of fresh air into any bathroom simply by drawing in, and neutralising, all odours.

Bad odours are captured inside the ceramic WC unit itself, before being purified and subsequently released, gently and imperceptibly, back into the atmosphere of the bathroom.

This tingling sense of ozone freshness is right on trend with the modern direction in bathroom design, recreating the feeling of spa wellness in your home. The spa-style bathroom takes its cue from the saunas, steam rooms and plunge pools of luxury hotels using modern lines and slick, contemporary materials which are combined with Nordic-style wood and stone.

Backed by painstaking research and development, DuoFresh neither masks bad odour nor distributes it around the room – as with the traditional bathroom-spray approach – but purifies the air via a powerful and replaceable carbon filter, housed discreetly behind the bathroom wall.

Hidden behind an attractive Geberit Sigma 40 flush plate and available in a variety of colours, materials and finishes, the electronically controlled odour extraction unit – which includes an insert for an in-cistern block – is discreetly activated at the flick of a switch.

As simple to operate as a flush, the intelligent DuoFresh device switches off automatically after 10 minutes and can also be turned off manually when required.

Replacing the all-important carbon filter quickly and easily is a breeze – a new one will be required every 12 months on average.

The entire system operates independently of any ventilation pipes, or other such ventilation systems, and allows you to save a significant amount of energy by keeping your bathroom windows closed in winter.

Despite the ingenuity of the product, the nuts and bolts of the entire system are straightforward.

An installation frame for wall-hung WCs contains both a sealed air extraction pipe and an electrical cable for power supply. DuoFresh can be fitted in your bathroom during initial installation.

In addition to delivering a fresh and hygienic atmosphere for your bathroom, DuoFresh also incorporates odour-eliminating blocks for the cistern, which can provide clean and odourless water.

Used in its entirety for both water and odours, the complete system will help guarantee that your bathroom space is always clean and refreshing.

Off-putting bathroom odours are something we’ve all had to put up with. Breathe easy. With DuoFresh, you can not only stay in your bathroom for longer, but can bring a sense of comfort and well-being into your most private moments.
