Surface-mounted: technology that is impressive to look at

3 min read

What used to be hidden can now be visible: technology. After all, surface-mounted solutions are no longer just a pragmatic alternative when flush-mounted installations are not possible. Rather, they offer new scope for consciously combining function and design. Surface-mounted systems prove to be an intelligent and sustainable solution, especially in renovation and existing projects, but also where flexible expandability is required.

The challenge lies in presenting technology in a way that is visible yet elegant – using materials and shapes that impress with both their quality and aesthetics. Gira, KEUCO and TRILUX demonstrate how modern technology and sophisticated design can be combined.

Gira: Building technology with a system

When it comes to building technology, Gira offers a wide range of switch ranges. Gira E2 and Gira Studio: elegant surface-mounted solutions that skilfully combine function and design. Gira E2 impresses with its clear lines and understated design language for timeless elegance, while Gira Studio sets deliberate accents with its round glass frames.

Both design lines use high-quality materials and, thanks to the wide range of variants available, can be flexibly adapted to different requirements and design concepts. Compatibility with the Gira System 55 modular system also means that they can be combined with over 300 functional inserts – from lighting control and sockets to smart home operating elements for KNX or Gira One.

KEUCO: PLAN BLUE for stylish bathrooms

With the PLAN BLUE series, KEUCO demonstrates how exposed fittings can also be implemented in a contemporary and elegant manner in the sanitary area. The series combines clear design, high-quality materials, well-thought-out functionality and a conscious use of our resources – ideal for exclusive bathrooms where style and responsibility are equally important. Reduced water and energy consumption, for example through flow limitation to six litres per minute for the washbasin fittings, makes PLAN BLUE particularly sustainable. But the exposed shower fittings are also impressive: with their slim, purist design, they blend harmoniously into any bathroom and are perfect for both new buildings and renovations.

As thermostatic shower mixers or in combination with integrated overhead and hand showers, they impress with their sleek PLAN BLUE design and extremely precise workmanship. The choice between classic chrome finishes and matt black also allows them to be perfectly matched to different styles – whether in private bathrooms, hotels or healthcare facilities. 

TRILUX: Innovative lighting technology

TRILUX sets standards for stylish surface-mounted solutions in the field of lighting technology. The best example of this are the Sonnos surface-mounted luminaires, which combine maximum flexibility with excellent light quality.

Whether round or square, horizontal or vertical lighting – the luminaires adapt to any room concept and can be combined individually. Thanks to innovative ConVision® technology, Sonno luminaires produce directional, pleasant light for surfaces and objects. This means less scattered light and less glare.

Sonnos surface-mounted luminaires are also ideal for refurbishments, as matching refurbishment rings and cover plates enable easy adaptation to existing ceiling cut-outs. TRILUX lighting solutions impress with their functionality, energy efficiency and elegant design, and always ensure optimum lighting.

The innovative solutions from Gira, KEUCO and TRILUX demonstrate that surface-mounted installations are now much more than just a technical necessity. They combine functionality with attractive design, enable buildings to be fitted out efficiently and thus meet the high demands of modern architecture and its users.
