Not every ceramic matches every tap in the bathroom. The possible combinations are seemingly endless. A tall tap with a washbowl as a countertop basin, a furniture washbasin with a tap hole bench and a fitted faucet or even the flush-mounted variant with a wall-mounted tap – depending on the combination, there is a risk of unsightly splashing in all directions.

Comfort is not only important when washing your hands, with sufficient space, but also when filling containers or washing your hair at the vanity. To avoid splashing and provide maximum comfort, Duravit has developed a special test procedure to determine the perfect combinations that Duravit Best Matches.

1. Optics
   To create the perfect symbiosis between products in terms of design and form, the first step is for our in-house trend experts to select sinks and faucets that harmonize beautifully with their design.
2. Test procedure
   The selected combinations are thoroughly tested in the next step. In addition to the splashes, the washing comfort for the hands is also taken into account here.
   – Every little water splash is counted. In total, there are four defined zones that are measured.
   – Washing comfort is then measured by means of washing simulations and with the help of various utensils. Do the hands have enough room to be washed pleasantly and comfortably, or are they cramped?
   – The test procedure has standardized components that are always set up exactly the same.
3. Evaluation of the Duravit tests
   Sinks and faucets are selected as a best match if:
   – they fit together perfectly in terms of function, without splashing too much and providing enough space to wash your hands.
   – they fit together perfectly in purely visual terms, as their designs and formal languages harmonize.
   – they are coordinated in terms of price, with the ceramics and faucet being in a similar price range.

No matter what your bathroom needs are, whether it is newly renovated, being newly built or is getting a little update, in the end, a harmonious and coherent overall picture should emerge. The perfect combinations, the Duravit Best Matches, can be found here.
