(Semi-)public and industrial bathrooms

Hygienic and hard-wearing in public spaces

ISH fair visitors

In recent years, the importance of hygiene and cleanliness in public areas has changed considerably, especially in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Whether in office buildings, shopping centres, restaurants, gymnasiums, hotels or educational institutions, the demands placed on modern sanitary facilities have increased dramatically. Against this background, the ISH trade fair is the ideal opportunity to discover the latest developments and technologies for the (semi-)public and industrial sectors.

Hygiene and equipment for (semi-)public bathrooms

Modern bathrooms in public and industrial settings not only have to meet high standards of hygiene, they also have to be hard-wearing and easy to clean. Minimising manual surface contact and installing antimicrobial surfaces helps reduce the spread of germs, pathogens and viruses. This is especially true for very busy places where high frequency of use requires particularly hard-wearing and resilient fixtures and fittings.

At ISH 2025, visitors can discover the latest products and solutions for these specific requirements:

  • Stainless-steel bathroom fittings: stainless steel is not only extremely long-lasting and robust but also easy to clean and resistant to germs. These properties make stainless steel ideal for use in public and industrial bathrooms.
  • Hygiene dispensers and touch-free taps: touch-free soap dispensers, hand dryers and taps are essential to maximise hygiene by reducing contact with potentially contaminated surfaces and thus contribute to overall cleanliness.
  • Antimicrobial surfaces: installing materials with antimicrobial properties provides additional protection against the spread of bacteria and viruses. These surfaces ensure basic hygiene in areas with high user traffic.

Efficient solutions for many different industries

The standards expected of sanitary fittings differ depending on the industry and location. Whereas operators of office buildings attach particular significance to modern and appealing design, gyms and hotels prioritise functionality and durability. The ISH trade fair presents customised solutions for all areas of application:

  • Office buildings: sanitary fittings in office buildings need to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Touch-free taps and elegant soap dispensers blend harmoniously into modern office settings.
  • Shopping centres and restaurants: these very busy places require sanitary products that are both hard wearing and easy to look after. Hygienic dispensers and hard-wearing materials, such as stainless steel, help to keep these areas spotlessly clean.
  • Gymnasiums and hotels: user comfort is of particular importance in such establishments. In addition to hygiene, user-friendliness and easy maintenance have a major role to play at such locations.

Sustainability and easy maintenance

Sanitary facilities in (semi-)public and industrial areas are used more frequently but less frequently cleaned and maintained than in the private sphere. This makes it all the more important that durable materials requiring little maintenance are chosen. Products that meet these requirements not only contribute to cost efficiency but also to sustainability because they need to be replaced or repaired less frequently.

At ISH, visitors can see the latest innovations from the world of bathroom fittings and sanitary technology. There, visitors can learn how to make washrooms more resilient and sustainable, whether this means choosing antimicrobial materials, contactless taps or state-of-the-art hygiene stations.
