An alarming observation on hygiene in schools
A recent study by Geberit in Belgium reveals that 7 out of 10 children avoid using the toilets at school. 40% of parents consider these spaces unsanitary for their children. This phenomenon, often due to the quality of the infrastructure, can cause significant discomfort, even school phobias. In France, the situation is no better, with school toilets often perceived as inhospitable.
School toilets could become places where hygiene can be taught, by providing equipment designed for children.
Bambini: a range designed for ergonomics and play
The Bambini range aims to make toilets a pleasant place for children to learn. Designed for nurseries, schools and other establishments welcoming young people, it offers robust and easy-to-maintain equipment. It is made up of colourful elements with ergonomics adapted to each age.
The collection includes toilets, washbasins, flush plates and taps designed for children aged 2 to 10. Thanks to attractive design elements, these products encourage children's independence in their daily hygiene tasks.
Colorful fixtures, such as two-tone faucets, encourage little ones to use the facilities. The cascading washbasins, made of Varicor® material, add a playful touch with water features that make hand washing more enjoyable.
Toilets adapted to each stage of growth
Bambini toilets accompany children throughout their toilet training. The models are available in different heights to meet the needs of each age group. The Rimfree® ceramic bowls, without rims, offer optimal hygiene and simplify cleaning. The wall-hung versions can be installed at a height of 35 cm. The floor-standing models, suitable for the youngest, facilitate accessibility. Various options are available: the seats with handles or in the shape of a potty, offer comfort adapted to each stage of childhood.
Geberit also offers adapted support frames for toilets and washbasins, making it easier for young users to install these devices.
Turning hand washing into fun
Bambini washbasins are designed to minimise the risk of injury thanks to their rounded shapes. They are made of robust and durable materials. Available in suitable dimensions (90 cm for 2 washing stations, 140 cm for 3 stations, and 180 cm for 4 stations), they offer optimised installations for collective spaces.
These sinks are available with optional designs and various shades. Forest Green, Ocean Blue and Carmine Red, integrate the schools. The scratch and shock resistant surfaces, facilitate their maintenance and guarantee durability and safety.
With Bambini, Geberit creates welcoming, safe and fun sanitary spaces. A great invitation to facilitate hygiene learning in school environments and spaces dedicated to children.
