Ponte Giulio. The sanitary ware company for the disabled, the elderly, children and communities. WC covers in large and small sizes.
Today we start talking about companies specialising in the production and marketing of sanitary ware dedicated to special needs. We will see sanitary wares designed to offer ease of use to disabled people, the elderly and children. We will see that the dimensions of these sanitary wares are never standard, but often very large or, on the contrary, very small. And consequently their particular toilet seats. We start by discovering the reference company in this sector: PONTE GIULIO: Ponte Giulio spa is a joint stock company with its legal and administrative headquarters in Orvieto, Terni. The company was founded in 1973 and its initial activity was focused on the construction of furniture for industrialised construction. At the beginning of the ’80s, the focus turned to the design and manufacture of bathroom units for accommodation facilities, hotels and communities. From there, in successive phases of specialisation, interest focused on bathroom renovation, the construction of specific products for community bathrooms, aids for the disabled and elderly, and bathroom systems for children. On their site at this LINK there is their entire history and we also know the brilliant founder: Emidio Carloni.
ROSSARI series Ponte Giulio
The company’s most famous series. Sanitary wares that opened up a new formal path. Used in many public and private bathrooms for their versatility and practicality. Long in depth and available in different heights. With an opening at the front, with or without the bidet function, they are, mainly the toilet, placed in many bathrooms of public establishments that are required by law (Ministerial Decree no. 236, Art. 8.1.6 of 14 June 1989) to make a bathroom available to the customers of the establishment that can be used by anyone. However, we also find them in many bathrooms in private homes. Its elongated oval shape ending in two protruding fins at the end make it a very recognisable shape. Important dimensions (the toilet measures 60 cm in depth!), offered by the company in three different heights: 45, 47 and even 50, to be as versatile as possible in the daily use of the person who has it in the bathroom. And also with the possibility of having it with or without a front opening and consequently a built-in bidet function (a small water spout is inserted in the rim).
We come to the Rossari toilet seat cover that you can find in the Sintesibagno catalogue. The dedicated shape you see in the picture on the right is as distinctive as the toilet. Given the large size of the toilet seat, it measures a good 51/52 cm. Since the toilet seat is offered both with and without front opening, there are two toilet seat covers that you can find: Rossari toilet seat cover closed at the following link [ clik here ] and Rossari toilet seats open at the following link [ clik here ]
DUAL vase Ponte Giulio
A sanitary ware project taking shape following the 1989 legislative intervention regulating the minimum space for disabled toilets in public establishments: DUAL. A ceramic toilet with an integrated ceramic cistern with a depth of no less than 80 cm. Proposed in floor and wall-hung versions, it was and is a very large sanitary ware, perhaps the largest ever produced. Available heights of 50 and 45. This WC is combined with a toilet seat with dimensions of 54/55 cm. You can find it in the Sintesibagno store at the following link [ clik here ]
Birdo vase Ponte Giulio
It is part of the large family of sanitary ware for children that the company has named BAGNO CUCCIOLO: Birdo toilet. A child-friendly design in shape and colour. Its small shape and dimensions ( 295 x 400 x 295 ) make it particularly suitable for use by small or very small children. Such a small sanitary ware needs a very small toilet seat cover. The Birdo toilet seat cover can be found in the store at the following link [ clik here ]
