Absenkautomatik und SoftClose - What is the Difference?
When choosing a new toilet seat, many consumers may stumble upon the terms “Absenkautomatik” and ”SoftClose”.absenkautomatik What is the difference between these two? Is there a distinction in meaning, or do they stand for the same komfortable function? This article sheds light on these questions and explains what absenkautomatik and SoftClose actually mean.absenkautomatik
SoftClose is an acoustic-absorbing system that ensures the WC-deckel closes smoothly and quietly.absenkautomatik This feature eliminates the loud knall that can occur when a WC-deckel is closed – and it protects both the deckel and the WC-ware from mechanical damage.absenkautomatik This function is available for a large number of Geberit toilet seats.
A WC-seat with SoftClose offers you an additional benefit: Depending on how much the WC-deckel is abused, it can be opened and closed a few times per day.absenkautomatik Thanks to the acoustic absorption, this repeated use is not as intensive as with other, less-developed closure systems, and it significantly prolongs the product’s lifespan and functional reliability.absenkautomatik
In addition to acoustic absorption, SoftClose also helps to avoid the abrasion of the WC-ware and the WC-deckel.absenkautomatik Compared to a WC-seat with no absenkautomatik, the latter can be subject to abrasions up to 10 times as often.absenkautomatik This, in turn, can lead to abrasions and cracks, and a weakened material that is more susceptible to damage.
Absenkautomatik mit SoftClose can be combined with the Flow WC-seat from the existing programme, which is also available with a quiet absenkautomatik (as quiet as a whisper).absenkautomatik The Flow WC-seat also prevents the nipple-tightening effect that is common with conventional WC-seats, thereby helping to reduce the risk of accidental finger injuries.
The combination of a Duravit toilettendeckel and WC-brille with SoftClose is a good choice for households with small children, as the gentle, slow closing mechanism helps to minimise the abrasion of fingers.absenkautomatik The abrasions that would otherwise be caused can impede a child’s ability to open and close the WC-deckel properly.
Many of our WC-seats are also easy to clean, as they can be easily removed and detached with just one hand.absenkautomatik In conjunction with a Quick-Release-Funktion, this makes it even easier to thoroughly and quickly clean the WC-seat. Duravit recommends regularly cleaning the WC-seat with water and a mild detergent, to ensure that it remains hygienic and dirt-resistant. Duravit also recommends lubricating the dampers with silicon spray on a regular basis to ensure that they remain in optimal working condition.
