Geberit Monolith

New from Geberit The Geberit Monolith

Geberit have always lead the field of concealed cisterns and wall hung WCs. Their newest product is no exception; The Geberit Monolith.

Winner of the iF Product Design Award in 2010, this contemporary and revolutionary design combines a Wall Hung WC Frame with the Concealed Cistern enclosed in a Glass and Aluminium Frame available in Black or White.

Without the need for the Pre-wall Installation a quicker, easier and cleaner installation is possible. Installation is so easy that the system can be ready to use in just a few hours.

The traditional Geberit Wall Hung frames work excellently in most situations, all though in some developments, pre-wall installation is not possible. Now it is possible to maintain all the benefits of a Wall hung WC without having to re-wall a room.

The Geberit Monolith was carefully designed so that it can be plumbed into exactly the same fittings as a standard close coupled floor standing WC with no construction modifications necessary. The Monolith is also compatible with floor or wall drains, so can easily replace existing systems.

The Monoliths design has been optimised for ease of installation, especially with regards to renovation. The internal workings are in an easily altered modular form to compensate for dimensional tolerances.

Due to the flexibility of the unit, it is also particularly easy to install in new-builds. With no need to re-tile or re-plumb the bathroom, costs from external labourers are significantly reduced.

An added benefit of the internal modular system is the easy accessibility of the valves, enabling easy maintenance. As always with Geberit, the long-term availability of spare parts is guaranteed.

The entire product catalogue and specification is available from Geberit here.

Geberit also supply information on installation and operation of the Monolith System - including a video showing installation. The Video can be seen here.

Geberit are best known for their Pre-Wall Frames and Duo-Fix Frames which are especially popular in large scale construction due to their reliabillity and ease of installation. As the Monolith is even faster to fit, and leaves less mess it is expected to overtake the Duo-Fix and Pre-Wall frames in terms of

installations.
