Sanitary Equipment<br />
Kermi Heating Technology: the elegant architecture <strong>of</strong> this st<strong>and</strong> alone was enough to turn heads.<br />
Shiny worlds <strong>of</strong> experience<br />
at the ISH<br />
At the ISH in Frankfurt in March 2007, the world-leading trade fair for bathroom technology, building<br />
services engineering, energy technology, air conditioning <strong>and</strong> renewable energies, the Division Heating<br />
Technology <strong>and</strong> Sanitary Equipment caused a real stir with their striking st<strong>and</strong> design.<br />
The three trade exhibition st<strong>and</strong>s <strong>of</strong> Arbonia, Kermi Heating<br />
Technology <strong>and</strong> Kermi Sanitary Equipment give an impressive<br />
account <strong>of</strong> the design division’s philosophy «Design & <strong>Innovation</strong>»<br />
– both in terms <strong>of</strong> the st<strong>and</strong>ard architecture <strong>and</strong> in<br />
terms <strong>of</strong> product competence. Visitors were captivated by the<br />
breezy, light <strong>and</strong> seemingly floating architecture. Staged with<br />
special lighting technology <strong>and</strong> semitransparent outer covers,<br />
the between 5 <strong>and</strong> 7.5 m high domes made an excellent impact.<br />
Depending on the chosen light settings, the visitors<br />
were guided into three different worlds <strong>of</strong> experience, each<br />
<strong>of</strong> which imparted its own clear <strong>and</strong> individual br<strong>and</strong> experience.<br />
Within the bright orange realm <strong>of</strong> the Arbonia trade<br />
fair st<strong>and</strong>, the visitors’ interest focussed on the new underfloor<br />
convector heaters being unveiled for the German market<br />
<strong>and</strong> the impressive variety <strong>of</strong> special radiators on show.<br />
Therm X2 – one <strong>of</strong> the highlights<br />
The Kermi exhibition st<strong>and</strong>s used the colours blue <strong>and</strong> red to<br />
symbolise not just the worlds <strong>of</strong> experience «water» <strong>and</strong><br />
«warmth», but also managed to use the intermittently<br />
changing lighting to impressively highlight the connection<br />
between the two st<strong>and</strong>s. Visitors to the st<strong>and</strong> were clearly<br />
impressed with the energy-saving panel radiator Therm X2,<br />
without doubt one <strong>of</strong> the highlights <strong>of</strong> the display. The xlink<br />
range <strong>of</strong> connection fittings, a smart system solution for connecting<br />
up the combination <strong>of</strong> heated towel rail <strong>and</strong> under-<br />
floor heating system, also enjoyed a very warm response. In<br />
the bathroom area, the trendsetting designs <strong>of</strong> the two new<br />
heated towel rails Credo-Duo <strong>and</strong> Icaro <strong>and</strong> the two new<br />
shower cabin ranges Gia <strong>and</strong> Gia XP also found widespread<br />
recognition. Impressions <strong>and</strong> clips <strong>of</strong> the three «experience<br />
worlds» can be downloaded on the Internet from<br />
