System 800 K
High-contrast variety

The system is made of high-quality polyamide. White is the basic colour of the 800 K sanitary system. The functional elements can be coloured on request.
The system is characterised by the targeted use of high-contrast colours. 800 K System is particularly suitable for the care sector due to the material. The modularity of the system allows the sanitary room to be equipped with everything from classic accessories and comfort products to products for standardised, barrierfree areas.

Contrast markings improve user-friendliness
Targeted use of colour contrasts facilitates orientation and allows intuitive use. As only the functional elements of System 800 K are coloured, these are highlighted and the function is illustrated. If the functional elements are also designed in a contrasting colour to the surroundings, they are also easily perceptible for people with impaired vision.

Orientation through contrast
In Germany, approximately 1.8 million people currently suffer from dementia. In 2021, approximately 440,000 people aged 65 and older will suffer from dementia. The result of demographic change – the number of people with dementia is steadily increasing.
Possible symptoms include forgetfulness, speech disorders and a diminished sense of direction. Clear structures and an easily perceptible environment enable people to live independently. A colorful design with strong contrasts helps to create a high-contrast environment.
