Dallmer and Design
Dallmer stands for innovative sanitary technology which renders drainage in the home and on your property more reliable, valuable and convenient.
The concept of design has great significance during product development because well-designed products make drainage both more attractive and practical. Good design means working interdisciplinarily, combining technical and design know-how and integrating different interests – simple installation, attractive forms, standardised technology etc. As a family business, still producing exclusively in Germany, we can implement our notions of design and quality without making compromises. At Dallmer, the "Made in Germany" seal of quality and orientation applies without constraints.
For instance, with our shower channels, which are known for setting technical standards and regularly winning design prizes. They are thus a perfect component for today's modern bathroom architecture which breaks the boundaries and plays with colouring and materials in a new manner. Dallmer offers pioneering and versatile solutions for these new bathroom landscapes. The options which this creates – alongside functionality and quality – are one of the reasons why architects, bathroom planners and clients choose Dallmer.
Unlimited bathroom
The bathroom has developed into a special place; a source of energy and haven of peace. New architectural concepts merge the bathroom with other living areas, zones replace rooms and allow a completely new living atmosphere to be created. Dallmer is part of these new bathroom landscapes. With drainage solutions which reflect state-of-the-art technology and regularly receive awards for their design. One important item in this context is the level-access shower. It removes barriers in the bathroom, the lack of shower tray meaning that the bathroom can be designed without interruptions – particularly as the tiled floor makes the bath seem more generous and open.
Dallmer shower channels fit perfectly into these modern bathrooms. Thanks to the numerous different sizes, colours, shapes and the compatibility for combination with all different kinds of materials and finishes, a whole new freedom of design is created. Use the full range and let your ideas run free. Your installation technician or specialist planner will work out the details of your special installation situation on site to determine which Dallmer drain systems are suitable for your personal dream bathroom and which Dallmer products are needed.
Wood expands the bathroom's horizon
Whether ceramic, glass or waterproofed natural stone: tiles are the traditional choice in the bathroom. However, there are other completely different options for home builders and refurbishers nowadays, and one material in particular has come into focus which previously never really featured in the bathroom: wood.
The material wood is a phenomenon. It conveys warmth and authenticity, grace and comfort in an incomparable manner. Wood gives every room, and thus every bathroom, an unmistakable character. If you opt for wood for bathroom design, you can also select from a whole range of species and thus grains and colourings. Dallmer shower channels are tailor-made for perfecting the overall concept in these types of bathroom. The architectural language of form and attention to detail make sure of it.
Even the special hygiene requirements which a bathroom brings with it can be combined with wood without any problems. Firstly, you can concentrate the use of wood on "dry" surfaces which are not affected by spray water, and secondly, a lot can be achieved using special coatings. As a renewable raw material, wood also rates highly when it comes to the subject of sustainability.
More than just a colour: Black in the bathroom
White is the classic colour in the bathroom but modern architecture is more and more about colour and colour accents. One colour stands out in particular when it comes to current bathroom design: black! A bathroom in black creates a special atmosphere. It comes across as noble, elegant and sophisticated. A room which sets a clear tone as a whole. The monochrome design makes the bathroom appear extensive and profound.
Gold, copper and bronze shades are hues which underscore the extravagant design. They are often matt and convey a sense of glamour and luxury. These precious metal shades give surfaces a warm and sumptuously graceful aura. A PVD-coated* Dallmer shower channel is an adequate drainage solution for this type of bathroom. Available in the colours black, brass and rose gold, they create little, interesting moments to be rediscovered every day.
*Due to the technological production possibilities, the nature of the raw material and the lighting conditions, there may be slight colour deviations in the PVD surfaces.
Why size is not always about square metres
In order for a large bathroom design to work in a small area, the choice of colour and lighting is crucial. Light-coloured walls and floors increase the size of small rooms optically, and planar lighting noticeably generates more space.
The drainage solutions also play an important role. Level-access showers are particularly suitable for small bathrooms as they maintain a continuous floor area. For small bathrooms Dallmer supplies shower channels in various lengths, and point drainage systems. Stainless steel shades, as the CeraFloor Select on the right shows, are recommended for light-coloured rooms as they perfectly connect with the wall and floor. The bathrooms in the "Hotel am Rittergut Störmede" are a further example of the beneficial effect of our shower channels. The bathrooms, which feature a design characterised by natural colours and materials, are fitted out with the Zentrix shower channel. You can see here why this short, three-dimensionally milled channel is the perfect solution for compact bathrooms:
