<strong>BATHROOM</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
Our soul<br />
It all started here by the stunning Ivösjön lake in Sweden’s southern<br />
province of Skåne and here we remain. We have worked with porcelain<br />
for over a hundred years and bathrooms for almost seventy. As well as<br />
experience, consideration is important to us. Consideration for you and<br />
for our environment.<br />
All companies have a soul – we love water. Of course.
Your soul<br />
The bathroom is where you kick-start your morning. And where you head<br />
after a tough day at work or an energetic jog round the park. It’s the<br />
place to make you feel human again, in body and soul. This is where you<br />
recharge your batteries, where you enjoy peace and harmony. That’s our<br />
definition of a fantastic bathroom. Aren’t you worth a new Ifö bathroom?<br />
The built-in bath is an Ifö Caribia, also available as a whirlpool.<br />
The teapot and cup are not from Ifö, but are attractive nonetheless.
Imagine a moment of happiness every day.<br />
Time devoted to you.<br />
You’re not alone in enjoying a few<br />
treasured minutes every morning.<br />
It’s how people have always prepared<br />
to face the day.<br />
Who knew that water and happiness were linked?

A new product must always<br />
be better than what went before.<br />
The goal is to make your life even easier.<br />
A designer combines the talents of an artist, an engineer and a sociologist.<br />
All products and functional items need to be user-friendly. They also have to<br />
fit into a particular context and they have to be practical to produce<br />
– preferably as economically as possible.<br />
Knud Holscher is Ifö’s chief designer. Steeped in the Scandinavian tradition of<br />
architecture and design, he has even worked with the great Arne Jacobsen.<br />
The challenge for these pioneers is to bring functional and attractive products<br />
to everyone. Inspiration is drawn from working people: farmers, fishermen<br />
and craftsmen, and this is also the source of the natural simplicity embodied<br />
in “Scandinavian Design”.<br />
A designer works with a pen in one hand and post-it notes in the other.<br />
The job actually involves tying together a large number of sometimes entirely<br />
contradictory requirements. The challenge, after thousands of hours of<br />
work, research, trials and tests, often lies in identifying the simple and<br />
obvious solution. That’s what makes a design genius. Just like Professor<br />
Knud Holscher.<br />
Knud Holscher’s more recent creations include Ifö Sign Art, which won the<br />
international red dot design award in 2006.<br />

Our new glaze is<br />
called Ifö Clean.<br />
Can you guess why?<br />
1<br />
2<br />
The most important thing for our customers is that the WC unit and<br />
wash basin are easy to keep clean and hygienic. No doubt you agree?<br />
The secret lies in the glaze, the surface layer that protects the actual<br />
porcelain. The smoother the glaze, the fewer limescale and dirt deposits.<br />
Cleaning is then easier and the lifetime of the porcelain is extended.<br />
To finish the glaze, we add an extra layer. This layer forms an ultra-thin<br />
transparent coating that is incredibly smooth. The result is a first-class,<br />
dirt-resistant glaze, primarily on all the most sensitive and exposed<br />
parts of the toilet and wash basin. We already finish most of our products<br />
with Ifö Clean, so your bathroom will now always stay fresh and clean.<br />
That’s a promise!<br />

We’ve come up with a few<br />
inspiring suggestions for those<br />
considering a new bathroom.<br />
Usually, the size of the room determines how much you can do with your<br />
bathroom. But with a little planning and imagination, even the smallest<br />
bathroom can be stunning. Here, interior designer and stylist Åsa Dyberg<br />
has selected various Ifö products to create 14 different inspirational<br />
bathroom looks.<br />
We’ve split the suggestions according to size: Small, Medium and Large.<br />
It couldn’t be simpler.<br />
S<br />
M<br />
L<br />
SMALL Here the focus is mainly on the small bathroom.<br />
Note that many of Ifö’s wash basins and items of bathroom<br />
furniture also come in Compact models that are a little<br />
shallower than usual. Several wash basins also come as<br />
corner units for another space-saving option. The width<br />
of the base cabinets used here is max 60 cm.<br />
MEDIUM This is the size of bathroom you would normally<br />
find in your average house or apartment. Note how well Ifö’s<br />
bathroom products work with each other, how well they go<br />
together and how easy it is to create something new and<br />
exciting even in a relatively limited space. The width of the<br />
base cabinets used here is between 75 and 90 cm.<br />
LARGE Here the bathroom is larger, like you might find in a<br />
newbuild house or apartment. It is increasingly common for<br />
people to prioritise an attractive, relaxing and large bathroom.<br />
We essentially prioritise our dreams, don’t we? You can see<br />
here how to create a personal, but also timeless, bathroom<br />
with the help of Ifö’s products. The width of the base cabinets<br />
used here is 120 cm and above.<br />

What are you in<br />
the mood for today?<br />
Think about your different moods when designing your bathroom.<br />
Changes can easily be made using textiles and accessories.<br />
For example, you can choose cool, pale colours or warm, earthy<br />
ones depending on the season.<br />
It is also worth considering the lighting. Of course you have to be<br />
able to see clearly when putting on make-up or shaving. But you<br />
can have more than just lighting by the mirror.<br />
We have actually thought quite a bit about how you feel, which is<br />
why most Ifö products have quite a simple, clean and timeless look<br />
– and a colour palette to suit your every mood.<br />

<strong>BATHROOM</strong> <strong>FURNITURE</strong><br />
It is the furniture that turns a bathroom into a fully-fledged<br />
room. All of Ifö’s bathroom furniture has a stylish and timeless<br />
design that brings harmony to the whole room. Restrained<br />
colours and beautiful woods add to the sense of exclusivity.<br />
The fact that they are all wall-mounted is not only practical<br />
but allows an attractive floor to shine.<br />

Ifö Sense<br />
Ifö Sense is a modern furniture range for the discerning eye. The practical<br />
drawers and spacious cabinets in a stylish design are suitable for both<br />
small and extra large wash basins, making them ideal for any size of<br />
bathroom. Ifö Sense bathroom furniture goes perfectly with Ifö Sign and<br />
Ifö Sign Art wash basins. The cabinets, doors and drawer fronts are made<br />
of moisture proof MDF. While the cabinets are hard lacquered in frost<br />
white, the doors and fronts come in a range of finishes. For <strong>2011</strong> you<br />
have a choice of high shine white or black, frost white, oak or walnut, the<br />
latter two being hard lacquered wood veneers. All the units come with<br />
adjustable hanging brackets and mounting rails. The drawers and doors<br />
have an integrated handle and a soft-close mechanism.<br />
Ifö Sense is also available in Compact format, i.e. with a depth of just 366 mm<br />
– ideal for the small or narrow bathroom. The furniture is delivered ready<br />
assembled. All you have to do is attach the fronts!<br />

Ifö Parade<br />
This furniture range offers excellent value, with its simple, minimalist<br />
and functional Scandinavian design. In white or the latest trend in<br />
interiors, black oak, the new Ifö Parade exudes modern quality and<br />
elegance.<br />
Ifö Parade comes in two finishes: a timeless white and a naturalistic<br />
melamine in a black oak finish. The cabinets and doors are attractively<br />
colour matched and handles in matt chrome are included. Handles in<br />
matching white/black and chrome are available as an option. The doors<br />
have a soft-close hinge and the high cabinet is fitted with a full-length<br />
mirror. The mirror cabinet has LED lighting for good light and minimum<br />
energy consumption.<br />
The new Ifö Parade suits any bathroom, large or small, thanks to its<br />
modest depth (368 mm). But don’t be fooled – the range still offers a<br />
surprising amount of storage space!<br />

Ifö On-line<br />
Ifö On-line is a range of accessories that includes everything from<br />
knobs, toothbrush holders and towel hangers to lighting, a mirror<br />
and even a clock – all in porcelain, for a practical finish and a<br />
striking look. Normally, you’d have to search high and low for such<br />
items, but we are, after all, the porcelain specialists.<br />
Ifö On-line is designed by Knud Holscher.<br />

Ifö Option<br />
Beautiful and practical accessories go a long way towards creating a<br />
pleasant and attractive bathroom. A stunning mirror, for example, can<br />
really tie a look together, as well as making the room feel bigger, while<br />
beautiful lighting adds a finishing touch. A mirror cabinet provides<br />
storage and a place to check your reflection in. Our range of mirrors<br />
and lighting is called Ifö Option, because of all the choice that it<br />
offers!<br />
New this year is the Option mirror cabinet package OSPP with<br />
integral LED lighting. As well as lasting an unbelievably long time,<br />
LED lights use a minimum of energy. So now you can stand in front of<br />
the mirror for as long as you like with a clear conscience!<br />

<strong>WASH</strong> BASINS<br />
A sparklingly clean wash basin will always put you in a good mood.<br />
As you might imagine, the secret lies in the porcelain. Glazed porcelain<br />
has a special shine and is incredibly hard-wearing. The fact that 400<br />
year-old Chinese porcelain from the Ming dynasty is still in use today<br />
says it all, really. And we manufacture our porcelain in much the same<br />
way as they did then – using rather more modern methods of course.<br />
The wash basin pictured is the Ifö Sign.<br />
43
Say good morning to<br />
your new wash basin<br />
A wash basin should be good looking and easy to keep clean, with plenty<br />
of space for your bits and pieces. Simply “reversing” a traditional wash<br />
basin, so that it is rounded at the back instead of the front, creates much<br />
more vanity space. That’s innovative design. You choose the size of the<br />
wash basin and whether you want it central or to the side. Or whether<br />
you want a separate space in the bathroom. After all, it can be good to<br />
get a little peace and quiet in the morning.<br />
TIMELESS DESIGN<br />
A wash basin is a quality product, built to last, which means it<br />
needs a look that is timeless. That’s why we put a great deal of<br />
work into the appearance. Many of our wash basins are designed<br />
by Professor Knud Holscher. If anyone has an eye for design that<br />
will stand the test of time, it’s him.<br />
NEAT AND TIDY<br />
You do all sorts of things at the wash basin, in front of the mirror,<br />
so you need plenty of space to keep all your things handy. But<br />
don’t worry, we have thought of that. Look, for example, at the Ifö<br />
Sign and Ifö Sign Art wash basins. They have space for much more<br />
than just your toothbrush mug! Add a base cabinet with practical<br />
drawers and cupboard space and you have somewhere to put<br />
every little item.<br />
44
A <strong>WASH</strong> BASIN FOR EVERY <strong>BATHROOM</strong><br />
Ifö offers a wide range of sanitary ware, including wash basins<br />
for every bathroom. A few years ago, we also started producing<br />
our most popular wash basins in a Compact version, making<br />
them easy to fit into a smaller bathroom.<br />

A wash basin is just a<br />
wash basin, or is it?<br />
A smart porcelain wash basin on a pedestal, with an equally attractive<br />
mirror above, creates an almost sculptural effect when you look into<br />
your new bathroom. In sparkling white, just like Carrara marble. When<br />
choosing a wash basin, you first need to decide whether you want a<br />
sculptural statement (that is also easy to clean) or whether your main<br />
focus is on storage and the elusive bathroom furniture that is both<br />
beautiful and practical.<br />
46
<strong>BATHROOM</strong> <strong>FURNITURE</strong><br />
FREE-STANDING OR WALL-MOUNTED<br />
A wash basin can be fitted on the wall and connected<br />
to the waste either in the floor or concealed within the<br />
wall. In the first option, you can conceal the waste pipe<br />
with a pedestal, while in the second the waste pipe<br />
can be completely hidden. Both options create a<br />
beautifully elegant look, and both are simple to keep<br />
clean, because you can get to every little nook under<br />
the wash basin.<br />
COMBINED WITH A BASE CABINET<br />
You can also place the wash basin on a base cabinet.<br />
The cabinet and the wash basin are designed to go<br />
together, forming a harmonious unit. This gives you<br />
plenty of space for everything you need in front of the<br />
mirror and, since all Ifö’s base cabinets leave a good<br />
gap between the unit and the floor, cleaning is also<br />
very easy.<br />
ON OR UNDER A BENCH PLATE<br />
Or why not place the wash basin on top of a bench<br />
plate on the base cabinet? The result is wonderfully<br />
elegant and we have several models of wash basin<br />
that will give your bathroom a little extra lift. Another<br />
option is to have the wash basin recessed, letting a<br />
beautiful sheet of wood, marble or even granite take<br />
centre stage.<br />

WC UNITS<br />
Do WC units need to be attractive? Of course. But only as long as they<br />
also do a first-class job. They need to be easy to keep clean and fresh<br />
for a long time, as we’re sure you’ll agree. That’s why Ifö is launching<br />
a brand new glaze – Ifö Clean – that makes it even more difficult for<br />
limescale and dirt to get a foothold, and ensures that your new WC unit<br />
lasts much longer.<br />
53
A WC unit from Ifö<br />
is even smarter<br />
than it looks.<br />
When the word innovation is mentioned, a WC unit may not be the<br />
first thing that comes to mind. However, the truth is that a great deal<br />
has happened since the first WC appeared. Originally, the cistern was<br />
hung high up on the wall and a flush used almost 20 litres of water<br />
– compared with today’s 2 or 4! Ifö has been making WC units since<br />
1936, gaining a great deal of experience along the way. So today, as<br />
well as saving water, you get a WC unit that stays fresh and clean for<br />
a long time.<br />
54
NEW GLAZE – WHERE IT’S NEEDED MOST<br />
The smoother the glaze, the fewer deposits. Now Ifö has<br />
developed a brand-new, patent-pending glaze that makes the<br />
WC much easier to keep clean. We’ve chosen to call the glaze<br />
simply Ifö Clean. Most of our WC units have this in the actual<br />
bowl, the most critical part of the WC unit, where deposits can<br />
easily build up. All you need to do is regularly use a toilet brush<br />
and a little toilet cleaner.<br />
SEPARATE INNER CISTERN<br />
All our newer WC units, including all Ifö Sign and Ifö Sign Art,<br />
have a separate inner cistern, a plastic tank that sits inside<br />
the porcelain outer casing. This makes filling quieter and<br />
avoids condensation on and under the casing, giving dirt less<br />
to stick to and removing suspicions that your WC might be<br />
leaking. There is also no risk of water damage if an accident<br />
happens and the outer casing is broken.<br />
<strong>BATHROOM</strong> <strong>FURNITURE</strong><br />
MINIMAL JOINS AND EASY ACCESS ALL OVER<br />
You know how easily dirt collects in joins. That’s why we’ve<br />
worked hard to remove as many as possible. For example, both<br />
the Ifö Sign and Ifö Sign Art have a seamless one-piece cistern<br />
lid. We’ve also made sure that you can get to every nook of<br />
the WC unit, including under and behind, for ease of cleaning.<br />
Several of our floor-mounted WC units are glued to the floor,<br />
enabling us to avoid screws, which can easily collect dirt. This<br />
also creates a complete seal with the floor.<br />
LOW FLUSH<br />
Ifö was the first company in the world to produce a low flush<br />
toilet. By channelling the flow of water better, we managed to<br />
achieve considerably more flushing power with less water –<br />
something that nobody had thought of before. We do a service<br />
for the environment and you enjoy lower water bills.<br />
FRESCH WC<br />
All the Ifö Sign and Ifö Sign Art WC units come with Fresh WC.<br />
You simply place the tablet in the flush button for a freshly<br />
scented WC at all times.<br />
PARTS GUARANTEE<br />
All Ifö’s spare parts are guaranteed to remain in stock for at<br />
least 5 years, extended to at least 10 years for wear parts. That<br />
will make your plumber happy, as our stock of parts enables<br />
him or her to help you much more quickly if something in your<br />
bathroom breaks.<br />
AWARD-WINNING DESIGN<br />
Our Sign Art WC, designed by Knud Holscher, has received the<br />
international red dot design award. As well as being aesthetically<br />
pleasing, the design includes a range of details that<br />
show how painstaking Knud Holscher is and how important it<br />
is for him to know exactly how a product will actually be used<br />
in real life. The Ifö Pressalit Sign Art seat closes softly so you’ll<br />
never be disturbed by a slamming toilet lid again, and there<br />
is a grip slightly to the side, so that you lift the lid where it is<br />
hopefully clean.<br />

Wall-hung or<br />
floor-mounted WC?<br />
A decision that you need to take early on when planning<br />
a new bathroom is whether the WC and any bidet are<br />
to hang on the wall or stand on the floor, as they have<br />
normally done. The decision affects the preparations and<br />
building work, and changing your mind during the project<br />
is likely to be costly.<br />
FLOOR-MOUNTED<br />
Most bathrooms are built with a waste pipe running down into<br />
the floor. Once the damp-proofing is complete and the flooring<br />
laid, essentially all that remains is to place the WC over the waste<br />
pipe and screw or glue it in place. Particularly when refurbishing<br />
an old bathroom, it is often much easier (and cheaper) to<br />
simply replace the old floor-mounted WC with a new one.<br />
56
<strong>BATHROOM</strong> <strong>FURNITURE</strong><br />
WALL-HUNG<br />
The advantages of a wall-hung WC and bidet are clear.<br />
Cleaning underneath is easy and the bathroom always looks<br />
fresh. Since the water pipes and waste are run through the wall<br />
(behind the unit), the WC can also be made much neater and<br />
more attractive. The cistern and flushing mechanism are also<br />
concealed behind the wall, out of your sight. Ifö’s popular wallhanging<br />
system is now in high demand, and certainly makes<br />
for a stylish bathroom.<br />
A full or half-wall is built behind the WC and bidet, and behind<br />
this goes the frame on which the WC and bidet hang. The space<br />
must naturally be damp-proofed and an inspection hatch fitted<br />
to allow future access for servicing or repairs. The flush front<br />
cover acts as an inspection hatch and, if you choose a halfwall,<br />
a removable shelf is built in the middle of the wall for easy<br />
access.<br />

system at www.ifosanitar.com. On the<br />
site, you can also order a separate<br />

the system and how to fit it.<br />

Fresh WC always keeps<br />
your toilet fresh and clean.<br />
IFÖ MAKES LIFE EASIER<br />
Fresh WC is a clever innovation from Ifö. We always like to stay<br />
one step ahead, not least to make your life easier and to keep<br />
your bathroom fresh and clean. Look out for the symbol.<br />
BUY FRESH WC FROM YOUR LOCAL RETAILER<br />
Place the Fresh WC stick in the flush button. Then when you<br />
flush, a carefully judged amount of freshly scented blue fluid<br />
is released. This removes the need for loose cistern blocks and<br />
hanging blocks in the WC bowl, which interfere with flushing.<br />
New Fresh WC sticks can be purchased from plumbing<br />
merchants.<br />

SHOWERS<br />
A good shower is a basic human right. And a must have in<br />
every bathroom. At Ifö we’ve also made it extra easy to choose<br />
– and to buy a shower.<br />
65
Ifö makes getting<br />
up in the morning a<br />
much more attractive<br />
proposition!<br />
Showering is wonderful. And your shower should be just as<br />
wonderful. It should suit the style of your bathroom. It should be<br />
practical and easy to keep clean. And it should look good.<br />
66
A WIDE RANGE<br />
Ifö has a shower for every bathroom, with a whole host of designs,<br />
variations and sizes. We’ve also made it easy for you to find the<br />
best shower solution for your home.<br />
FUNCTIONAL DESIGN<br />
You shower every day and a shower is quite a feature of the<br />
bathroom, so it has to look good. That’s why we have long<br />
focused on good design. We’ve also taken great pains to<br />
harmonise the style of the showers with the other Ifö products,<br />
since the overall feel of the bathroom is so important. Choice<br />
is also important and we have that covered too, with several<br />
different models to choose from and glass in many colours and<br />
patterns. Some models also offer a choice of natural anodised<br />
or lacquered aluminium profiles.<br />
ONLY THE BEST MATERIALS FOR THE JOB<br />
We’ve been making showers for so long that we know what it<br />
takes for a shower to come up to scratch. We only use materials<br />
that are happy with water: such as aluminium, stainless steel,<br />
glass and plastic. The glass in an Ifö shower is always toughened<br />
and at least the minimum thickness so that absolutely nothing<br />
can go wrong. If you wish, you can also have the glass for the<br />
Ifö Space 2000 treated with a special film that keeps limescale<br />
and other deposits from sticking. We also guarantee that all<br />
spare parts will remain in stock for at least 5 years, which can<br />
be comforting to know.<br />
INGENIUS DESIGN<br />
Our designers and engineers take immense care with every<br />
detail of your shower. The doors need to slide easily even after<br />
a long time in use, seals must be completely watertight, visible<br />
screws have been removed to avoid dirt collecting and many<br />
other small details have been considered. Small things perhaps,<br />
but appreciated in the long run.<br />

Shower cubicle<br />
or shower enclosure?<br />
The first thing you need to decide, when considering a shower, is whether<br />
you want a shower cubicle, a corner enclosure or a niche enclosure.<br />
A cubicle comes complete and ready for a plumber to install quickly and<br />
easily. You can jump in the shower as soon as it has been connected to the<br />
water and waste. A cubicle is often a stylish turnkey solution that in most<br />
cases includes a mixer tap and shower head.<br />
A corner or niche enclosure requires a little more preparatory work, but<br />
the result is neater and more elegant. An enclosure can also save valuable<br />
space in the bathroom.<br />
68
SHOWER CUBICLES<br />
A shower cubicle is a completely closed system – a little bathroom<br />
in itself, if you will. It has glass or styrene walls on all sides, including<br />
against the bathroom wall or walls. It stands on a shower tray,<br />
integrated with the cubicle, which collects all the shower water<br />
and channels it down the waste pipe.<br />
This gives you much more freedom to choose where you want your<br />
cubicle. Since the cubicle is relatively watertight, it allows you to<br />
explore many more materials when fitting out your bathroom.<br />
CORNER AND NICHE ENCLOSURES<br />
An enclosure has no shower tray – the sealed bathroom floor with<br />
built-in shower drain does the job. It also doesn’t have glass walls<br />
at the back. The main advantage of an enclosure is that you save<br />
space in the bathroom. You can choose practically whatever size<br />
you want and, since the door or doors can remain open when you<br />
aren’t showering, the whole bathroom feels bigger. A niche door or<br />
single screen can also easily be folded away or slid to the side when<br />
not in use. All Ifö’s different models and sizes, coupled with its range<br />
of separate parts, allow you to put together a shower to fit almost<br />
any space.<br />
Bear in mind that the floor has to slope towards the drain, to stop<br />
water flooding out. As mentioned before, a corner or niche enclosure<br />
requires a little more planning.<br />

What kind of enclosure should I choose?
CORNER ENCLOSURES<br />
Putting a shower in the corner of a bathroom saves space.<br />
It is also by far the most common position to use. The shower<br />
enclosures come in a range of different shapes and sizes, so<br />
you can make even better use of the space.<br />
Straight corner<br />
You get a spacious shower of a simple and solid design, with<br />
a long and problem-free life as a right-angled corner is rather<br />
easier to construct.<br />
Rounded or Pentagonal corner<br />
Choose these models if space is a consideration. Just “cutting”<br />
30 to 40 cm off the corner makes the bathroom feel much bigger.<br />
And you get almost the same space to shower in, since you<br />
tend not to shower out in the corner. It also feels more pleasant<br />
to walk past a “rounded” corner than a pointed/right-angled<br />
one.<br />
NICHE SHOWERS<br />
A niche shower is basically a glass wall with a door, or just<br />
a door, that you place between two walls. If you’re fortunate<br />
enough to have such a niche or alcove in your bathroom, it’s the<br />
very best place to put a shower. It will be relatively watertight<br />
and construction will be easy.<br />
SINGLE SCREEN<br />
A single screen is the very simplest of solutions, gaining you<br />
a great deal of space. However, as you no doubt appreciate,<br />
the lack of one side means it’s not watertight. But maybe that<br />
doesn’t matter in your bathroom?<br />

Ifö Space 2000<br />
The Ifö Space 2000 is a beautifully elegant shower enclosure.<br />
The frameless glass attached to the wall with just a discreet aluminium<br />
profile almost makes the Ifö Space 2000 look like it’s floating. The glass<br />
doors can be straight or curved like in the picture on the right. Since the<br />
shower doors come in different sizes, you can create the perfect shower<br />
for your home. The doors simply fold back after you’ve showered, giving<br />
you much more space in the bathroom.<br />
Choose between natural anodised aluminium profiles and a lacquered<br />
finish in white or black. You also have a range of options for the glass.<br />
The Ifö Space 2000 is designed by Knud Holscher.<br />

If you’re lucky enough<br />
to have a niche in your<br />
bathroom, the perfect<br />
shower awaits.<br />
All you have to do is fit a straight Ifö Space 2000 shower enclosure<br />
across the opening to create a fantastic shower. It will be relatively<br />
watertight, with only a small chance of water escaping.<br />
If you’re building from scratch or totally renovating your bathroom,<br />
and have the space, you might want to consider getting your builder<br />
to put up an extra wall. The result will be a simple but functional<br />
– and not least attractive – shower!<br />
74
Is the simplest shower<br />
enclosure perhaps the<br />
best looking of all?<br />
<strong>BATHROOM</strong> <strong>FURNITURE</strong><br />
For a simple shower solution in the bathroom, choose a single Ifö<br />
Space 2000 shower enclosure – just a single sheet of glass fixed<br />
to the wall with a hinged aluminium profile. This will give you<br />
plenty of space in the bathroom, even after showering, as you can<br />
simply fold the screen out of the way.<br />
Imagine placing another of these shower enclosures at an<br />
angle against the first one. That’s the principle behind our shower<br />
enclosures and the reason why you buy each section separately. It<br />
also means that you can adapt the size of your shower, since the<br />
enclosure doors come in three different widths.<br />
When planning a single shower enclosure, it’s important to<br />
ensure that the floor slopes towards the drain. Otherwise there is<br />
a risk that the water might flow out onto the bathroom floor.<br />

Ifö Solid<br />
Ifö Solid is a popular model that comes as a corner enclosure, niche<br />
enclosure and cubicle. Ifö Solid has supporting aluminium profiles<br />
for excellent stability and safety, which can be a comfort if you have<br />
children. As part of its design, Ifö Solid has sliding doors and a floor<br />
profile that create a tight seal with the floor to stop water running out.<br />
Ifö Solid offers a range of options, including a straight or rounded corner,<br />
either half-rounded or pentagonal in shape. The aluminium profiles are<br />
available in a natural anodised or lacquered white finish. As with the Ifö<br />
Space 2000, there are various choices of glass. Ifö Solid also works well<br />
as a niche shower.<br />
The Ifö Solid cubicle has a shower tray in enamelled steel as a guarantee<br />
of high quality. The cubicle also includes a panel with built-in mixer,<br />
vanity shelf and shower head. You have the choice of a standard or<br />
luxury panel.<br />
New this year is an Ifö Solid shower cubicle with no rear top profiles and<br />
with white frosted glass in the rear walls. This creates a tasteful way<br />

BATH TUBS<br />
A warm bath is the epitome of ultimate pleasure and yet the trend in<br />
recent years has been for people to actually throw out their baths.<br />
Perhaps this is due to increased stress – a shower is certainly a little<br />
quicker. Or is it an energy issue? Well, you don’t have to have a bath<br />
every day! A bath takes up a lot of space. OK, but small bathtubs<br />
are available and you can add a smart shower enclosure for a great<br />
combination of shower and bath. It’s worth thinking about. Wouldn’t you<br />
love a hot bath?<br />
85
A bath in<br />
enamelled steel is<br />
a good investment.<br />
Anyone with boisterous, energetic children knows how important<br />
the quality of the bathtub is. Enamelled steel is the only material<br />
that makes the grade. We know – we’ve been making such<br />
baths for over 50 years. After a number of years of cheap plastic<br />
bathtubs on the market, the trend appears to be returning to the<br />
good old longer-lasting option. We knew everyone would come<br />
around eventually.<br />
And who says a whirlpool can’t be made in enamelled steel?<br />
86
<strong>BATHROOM</strong> <strong>FURNITURE</strong><br />
FOR EVERY NEED<br />
As Scandinavia’s largest manufacturer of bathtubs, we offer a<br />

models, to accommodate all body shapes. Including yours. We<br />
have free-standing baths, with or without a front panel, and<br />
this year we’ve developed a practical half front panel. We also<br />
have bathtubs that you can build in and of course whirlpools.<br />
ALWAYS FRESH AND CLEAN<br />
A bathtub has to be easy to keep clean, even underneath.<br />
That’s why our free-standing baths are supported on smart<br />
feet, high enough for you to get underneath with a mop. The<br />
new half front is based on the same idea. And since the rear<br />
panel facing the wall is shorter, there is also plenty of space to<br />
run the plumbing along the wall.<br />
EASY TO STAND UP FOR A SHOWER<br />
All Ifö bathtubs have a flat base to provide safe footing at all<br />
times: when getting in and out and when showering.<br />
HOME SPA<br />
We also have a range of whirlpools to choose from, in many<br />
different sizes – even for apparently quite small spaces. You<br />
can choose between two massage systems: water jets from<br />
the sides and/or air jets from the base of the bathtub. Apart<br />
from a whirlpool in extremely high quality acrylic, all the other<br />
Ifö whirlpools are made from enamelled steel. This may be<br />
worth bearing in mind if you see your bathtub as a long-term<br />
investment.<br />

In search<br />
of lost time.<br />
Some things really are timeless. Take our Ifö BKFF bathtub for example.<br />
We started making it back in 1942 and it proved enormously popular,<br />
on and off, until 10 years later, when it was on the brink of being axed.<br />
And it’s been like that ever since, for decades and decades. Since we<br />
added new legs and overhauled the colours of the BKFF, demand has<br />
been incredible. Stylists and other trendsetters are even talking about a<br />
“classic”.<br />
If you love a bath, place the BKFF centre stage in the room, fill it with<br />
warm water and relax with a good book. Marcel Proust’s “In Search of<br />
Lost Time” may not be the world’s lightest read, but everyone ought to<br />
give it a go. At least if you can follow the plot. Which you no doubt can.<br />

We’ll help make<br />
your bathroom<br />
dreams come true.<br />
Buying a new bathroom is not always easy, whether you’re building<br />
from scratch, refurbishing or adding to what’s already there.<br />
However, we’re here to help you avoid the worst pitfalls and obtain<br />
exactly the new bathroom that you want.<br />
In a successful project, preparation and planning is everything.<br />
Doing things right from the start will save you time and money in the<br />
end. And of course planning your dream bathroom is great fun!<br />

STEP<br />
5<br />
Your new<br />
bathroom<br />
step by step<br />
STEP 1<br />
Start with you<br />
Think about what you and your family need from your future<br />
bathroom. Consider how things are at the moment and what<br />
you want to change. And of course how much money you want<br />
to spend. Be practical and realistic. You may well have to compromise,<br />
but never lose sight of your dreams. You want this to<br />
be a room to treasure, don’t you?<br />
STEP<br />
2<br />
Find the right tradesmen<br />
You can do much of the preparatory work yourself, but you must<br />
have an approved electrician for all electrical work, and insurance<br />
companies require an authorised plumber to guarantee<br />
an absolutely watertight bathroom. Ask for several quotations<br />
that you can then compare. However, don’t just look at the price.<br />
Choose tradesmen who you trust and can discuss plans with<br />
and who can give good advice.<br />
STEP 3<br />
The most important decisions first<br />
Some decisions have to be taken as early as possible, as they<br />
determine both the budget and subsequent planning. You need<br />
to decide whether you want a wall-hung or floor-mounted WC<br />
unit. Shower and/or bath? Underfloor heating? What storage do<br />
you need? What lighting do you want? And do you have anything<br />
else on your wish list? You can imagine how invaluable professional<br />
advice is at this stage.<br />
STEP 4<br />
Note the layout of the room<br />
A room always has its possibilities and limitations. Of course<br />
everything can be altered, you can move walls, change the<br />
plumbing and so on, but this may be at a considerable cost.<br />
What you need is a general drawing of the room that you can<br />
use in your planning.<br />
Now you’re an architect<br />
On the drawing, sketch in the WC, bidet, washbasin(s), the<br />
shower, perhaps the bathtub, the furniture and anything else<br />
you want. It’s worth coming up with several alternatives that<br />
you can then check against you and your family’s list of<br />
requirements. These drawings are useful to have when you talk<br />
to the architect or whoever is going to draw up the final plan.<br />
STEP 6<br />
Use colour and design to realise your dreams<br />
This requires inspiration. Visit as many bathroom and home<br />
improvement stores as you can. Magazines and the internet<br />
are also full of inspiration. Cut out or print pictures that you like<br />
and, just like an architect, create a number of mood boards. See<br />
which different styles best suit your home – and which ones you<br />
really like.<br />
Some design rules<br />
(that you’re absolutely free to ignore!):<br />
Light colours make a room bigger, dark ones make it smaller.<br />
Light / cold colours give a bathroom a fresh look.<br />
Furnish according to how you mostly use the room.<br />
A contrasting colour, shape or material is eye-catching.<br />
Remember that the bathroom must be easy to clean.<br />
Choose quality – you want your bathroom to last at least 10<br />
years.<br />
Put paint samples on the wall and preferably choose materials<br />
on site.
Ask your plumber<br />
which bathrooms<br />
he or she prefers to<br />
work on.<br />
THE ANSWER MAY WELL BE IFÖ AND THERE ARE GOOD REASONS WHY:<br />
We stick to good old tried and tested materials. Glazed porcelain still reigns supreme<br />
when it comes to sanitary ware. Our focus is on constantly improving each product,<br />
for example with our brand new glaze – Ifö Clean – which makes it easy to clean the<br />
WC and wash basin. A bathtub or shower tray in enamelled steel will last much longer<br />
than other materials that might be cheaper and easier to manufacture.<br />
Our engineers and designers take immense care with even the smallest detail.<br />
Everything is thought through. We have enough experience of bathrooms to know, for<br />
example, where limescale can build up. That’s why we’ve reduced the number of visible<br />
screws on our showers, making them much easier to keep clean, and the aluminium<br />
profiles provide such a perfect fit that no silicone is required when they’re installed.<br />
All our bathroom furniture is delivered with factory assembled cabinets. Most of the<br />
cabinets also come with hanging brackets and a mounting rail for ease of installation.<br />
A professional will also appreciate the fact that spare parts can always be sourced.<br />

Design is all about function. The aim is always to improve your<br />
life and make it easier. Your bathroom should be practical, easy<br />
to clean and long-lasting. However, it should also be beautiful.<br />
Fortunately, simple, stylish and functional items are often also the<br />
most aesthetically pleasing. Form and function have become one.<br />
We think about the Ifö bathroom as a unified whole. All our products go together, in<br />
terms of look, materials, colours and dimensions. We have Knud Holscher to thank<br />
for that. As such, your plumber will find ordering and installing easy – and you’ll find<br />
choosing easy.<br />
Ifö is an innovative company. You may not see it in our products at first glance, but<br />
just wait 10 years or so. By then you may well be glad that you chose a low flush WC<br />
with a separate cistern and with smooth surfaces that are easy to get at, moisture<br />
proof bathroom furniture, a shower with safety glass, a wash basin with a glaze that<br />
is still gleaming white and lighting with energy-efficient LED bulbs. As you can see,<br />
product development is going on all the time. On a large and a small scale.<br />
Many of our products carry the Nordic Quality seal of approval, an<br />
independent quality label that increases consumer confidence.<br />
Nordic Quality guarantees the quality of the product for the<br />
environment in which it is installed. The label also ensures that<br />
the manufacturer takes responsibility for stocking spare parts and<br />
for servicing. The symbol for Nordic Quality appears next to each<br />
certified product in the price list.<br />
A Swedish company like Ifö would hardly still be going in Bromölla and Mörrum<br />
without the unique combination of craftsmanship and modern technical expertise.<br />
Foreign visitors are amazed when they see our ultramodern production facility, where<br />
12 robots, monitored by just 40 or so expert operators, pump out several hundred<br />
thousand WC units, wash basins and bidets every year.<br />
And each product offers better performance than just a few years ago. Ask the plumbers.<br />
They know.<br />
Säker Vatteninstallation (Safe Water Installation) is a set of<br />
regulations drawn up by the industry in Sweden to reduce the<br />
risk of water damage, the spread of legionella, fire damage and<br />
poisoning. The regulations cover both installers and products. The<br />
system includes authorisation of plumbing companies and training<br />
for plumbers, foremen and others. The goal is to ensure greater<br />
safety and security for the user.<br />
