Water-saving technologies in toilets and faucets, meeting strict EU and international standards.
ISO-certified production facilities that reduce emissions and resource use.
Durable materials like DuraCeram® and DuraSolid® engineered for longevity.
Circular economy focus: reducing waste in production and recycling materials where possible.
This resonates with Canadian homeowners seeking to make eco-responsible renovation choices.
Duravit is positioned in the mid-premium to luxury market segment.
Entry Point: Modern washbasins, wall-mounted toilets, and compact vanities suitable for condos.
