Hygiene and safety in the bathroom with Krion

Bathroom safety and surface maintenance is one of our top priorities, whether at home, at work, in hotels, in healthcare facilities or in high traffic areas such as public toilets, especially in the retail sector.

Hygiene is essential to stop the proliferation of pathogens and prevent them from reaching us. It is for this reason that materials that help to combat the appearance and reproduction of microorganisms are becoming increasingly important.

The spaces where we live our lives and the elements that surround us could harbour bacteria of all kinds. From utensils as close as our mobile phones, door handles or bathroom equipment, they can be carriers of micro-organisms.

The first preventive measure is hygiene, both of hands and surfaces, but depending on the type and composition of the surfaces, the level of cleanliness of the place where we live may vary. This is why the choice of materials is paramount, as surfaces that are porous or have joints or cracks are more likely to be contaminated than non-porous and continuous materials.

Hygiene as the main safety measure in the bathroom

Maintaining hygiene in the bathroom is essential to reduce risks in personal and public environments. In areas of constant use, such as bathrooms in offices or shopping centres, and in the home, where cleanliness and safety are key to the health of the family, surfaces must meet safety standards. A high quality material with antibacterial properties, such as Krion®, facilitates maintenance and ensures greater safety.

Bathrooms with high-density, non-porous surfaces and no visible joints offer a great advantage in preventing the build-up of bacteria. Unlike conventional ones, the materials we use allow bacteria and other micro-organisms to have less chance of nesting in the bathroom.

Thanks to their composition and structure, these surfaces are much easier to clean, which is essential for high turnover projects and environments that require rigorous cleaning.

All these materials are suitable for areas of intensive use, as their resistance and ease of maintenance make them practical and efficient options for bathroom spaces.

Krion® for bathroom safety

Krion® has uniform surfaces, with almost no porosity and imperceptible joints that prevent active microorganisms from settling. In addition, it is easy to clean, maximising the effectiveness of disinfection processes.

Due to the materials of which it is composed, it allows the creation of continuous surfaces and curved joints in both concave and convex corners, preventing the accumulation of waste and facilitating cleaning and safety in the bathroom thanks to effective disinfection. Its high chemical resistance allows cleaning with all types of products without damaging the surface.

Krion Shell® for bathroom safety

Krion Shell® shares the properties of hygiene and safety in bathrooms. It is another of our innovative materials, designed to offer advanced safety in the bathroom. Its unique composition includes a solid and homogeneous outer layer made of natural minerals, while its core is mainly made of dolomites and recycled resin, giving it a resistant structure and a high quality and defined finish.

This material is an ideal choice for those looking for durable and safe surfaces, as the combination of natural and recycled components gives it high structural strength. In addition, its sustainable design incorporates at least 5% recycled plastic waste, contributing to a greener environment and helping to reduce environmental impact.

Alluslate® for bathroom safety

Elements to maximise safety in the bathroom with Krion

Krion bathroom elements help maximise safety and functionality. From anti-slip surfaces to safe corners, our solutions are designed to ensure safe spaces without compromising aesthetics.

Non-slip surfaces

In the bathroom, non-slip surfaces are essential to avoid accidents, especially in the shower. Krion Shell® shower trays with a Rock texture and finish provide a secure grip, without sacrificing an attractive and homogeneous design. The class 3 anti-slip rating of these trays ensures a safe and comfortable user experience for all users, from children to the elderly.

Krion Shell® also offers different options in finishes and colours, adapting to the aesthetic and safety needs of the project. As a durable material, it can be installed in high-use areas and other bathroom surfaces where water and humidity are constant.

Accessible and ergonomic shower area

Ergonomics is key in the design of a safe and functional bathroom. Shower trays such as the Slope model, with an ultra-thin thickness of only 3 cm, are designed to offer an accessible surface without sharp edges, thus facilitating access for people with reduced mobility or the elderly. With its optimised drainage system, water flows naturally, preventing stagnation and minimising the risk of accidents.

It should be added that we have a wide range of shower tray models that can be installed at floor level, eliminating any type of step and offering comfortable and safe access. These customisable solutions allow the bathroom to be adapted to each user and offer different options in terms of sizes and textures.

Safe corners

The curved design of the corners of the bathroom elements is an important aspect to increase safety. On surfaces made of the above-mentioned materials, the corners can be made to avoid sharp edges that could cause accidents. This is especially useful in small or high-traffic bathrooms, where accidental contact with the elements is common.

In addition, as mentioned above, the almost imperceptible joint structure that Krion® allows avoids rough edges that are difficult to clean, minimising the risk of dirt or bacteria build-up in these areas.
