3D Rimfree速 toilet
FOR LIFE.
INTRODUCING THE REVOLUTIONARY RIMFREE® TOILETS, THAT ARE AVAILABLE ACROSS THREE BEST-SELLING TWYFORD COLLECTIONS, MODA, GALERIE AND 3D. THERE’S NO RIM SO THERE’S NOWHERE FOR GERMS AND DIRT TO HIDE. LIGHT ON CLEANING. LIGHT ON WATER USAGE. AND GOOD LOOKING TOO. SIMPLE. BUT BRILLIANT.
CLEAN
GREEN
STYLISH
With no concealed rim, there’s nowhere awkward to clean, and your toilet is more hygienic and looks smarter and cleaner.
The Moda Rimfree® uses Twyford’s unique Flushwise® 4 and 2.6 litre dual flush technology, using up to 60% less water than a standard toilet. 3D and Galerie feature a water-saving dual flush too, at 4 and 6 litres.
Rimfree® toilets are available across three best-selling Twyford collections - all with cool, contemporary design and a wide range of options including basins, bidets and furniture, coordinating to create a complete look for every bathroom environment.

THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR WITH OUR
10
EASY TO CLEAN DESIGN
2 1

Ultra-hygienic design makes cleaning Twyford Rimfree® toilets faster and easier. With no rim there’s nowhere for dirt and germs to hide, and no rim shadow means the bowl looks brighter. The flushing system clears away residue effectively and regular cleaning is simpler than ever before - taking less time and less cleaning products. 1
Water cascades into the toilet pan from a slot at the back of the bowl. Holes at either end of the slot act as jets, powering water right around the bowl and rinsing it clean quietly and effectively.
2
Smart design ensures that water enters the bowl at precisely the right angle to maintain its speed and force. The shape and size of the toilet sump means that the pressure of the water pushes the contents away quickly and smoothly.
3
With no rim the bowl looks cleaner.
COMPARE AND CONTRAST
Scan this code to see the Rimfree® toilet in action.
Conventional toilets have a large number of holes under the rim, or a narrow slot running its length. It’s almost impossible to properly clean under the rim.
By cleverly redesigning the bowl and the flushing system, Twyford have done away completely with the need for a rim - making the toilet design ultra-hygienic and easy to clean.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE LOOKING AFTER YOUR TWYFORD SHOWERING PRODUCTS
Twyford shower enclosures and trays are designed to provide you with a luxurious showering experience. You can help to maintain their good looks and performance by getting into a routine of regular cleaning - it only takes a few moments after each shower to ensure that your enjoyment of our products lasts a lifetime.
ENCLOSURES
TRAY
Shower enclosures should be cleaned after every use. To prevent limescale from building up, use a squeegee, a soft cloth or chamois leather - but no cleaning agent - to wipe off any water droplets left after showering. Residue left by bodycare products (liquid soap, shampoo, shower gel) can also cause substances to accumulate. Use water to rinse away residues after use. All sliding door track fittings should also be cleaned this way - to ensure that they continue to run smoothly.
Maintaining the clean and attractive looks of your shower tray is easy. Clean with warm soapy water or mild detergent after each use, and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Gritty or abrasive cleaners should never be used, as they may mark the surface. Should limescale or fine scratches become a problem, apply T-cut with a damp cloth and then polish it off. The waste trap is designed for easy access and should be removed and cleaned regularly - every week if the shower is in daily use - ensuring that any debris is removed.
HANDY HINTS FOR CLEANING GLASS PRODUCTS • Don’t allow limescale to build up especially in hard water areas • If you do get a stubborn limescale build up, a mixture of 50:50 vinegar and water will help you to clean it away - but make sure all vinegar is rinsed off completely • Never use strong detergents or cleaning agents • Cleaning materials should wherever possible be rated between PH4 and PH8 • In no circumstances should you use any abrasive substances Take good care of your shower enclosure... and you’ll enjoy the benefits for a lifetime

WATER SAVING INNOVATION FROM TWYFORD SAVING WATER AND LOOKING GOOD. FOR LIFE. The problem of water scarcity is increasing globally. Current usage is unsustainable, and water saving is a key element in planning for new developments. At Twyford, we design with this in mind. It’s not an afterthought, it’s an inspiration. For innovative, market leading products that conform to - and outperform - the new regulations. Reducing water consumption dramatically, with no compromise in the style and look of our ranges.
WEPLS (WATER EFFICIENT PRODUCT LABELLING SCHEME) WEPLS provides consumers and professional specifiers easy access to a database of bathroom products which, when installed correctly, will use less water, save energy and save money. Twyford are helping users make an environmentally conscious choice by supporting the scheme.
IDEAS TO MAKE LIFE BETTER
THE FLUSHWISE® WC & CONCEALED CISTERNS Twyford have been leading the way in reducing toilet flush volumes. We have revolutionised the field with the introduction of the unique Flushwise® dual flush push button WC. Flushwise® WCs use 4 or 2.6 litres each flush (an effective flush of just 3 litres) - less than half the water of most toilets currently in use in the UK. And Twyfords concealed cisterns use only 4 or 2.6 litres of water and lead the field for reducing water consumption.

TAPS
BATHS
Our unique dual action tap delivers water at 2.5 litres a minute with one click back, and 5 litres a minute with two clicks. You can choose the rate of flow - it saves water every time.
Twyfords Signature and Celtic baths have capacities of just 152 and 140 litres while giving you a luxurious bathing experience.
And the Aquations low flow bath/shower mixer provides a great shower and saves water too. It delivers 6 litres a minute on the shower function, while unrestricted flow on the bath filler allows the bath to be filled quickly - combining performance with water savings.
The Celtic 1700 x 700mm bath offers all the benefits of a standard size steel bath, but with a water saving capacity up to 140 litres to the overflow. That’s an estimated 35% water saving, compared to a typical standard size bath. The new Opal 1700 x 700mm bath is also available in a water saving option, with a low volume capacity of only 130 litres to overflow.
TOTAL INSTALL FROM TWYFORD ®
Trust Twyford to make life easier for you! Our unique Total Install® system, available on some suites, and all Outfit shower enclosures, makes installation of toilet and bathroom fittings quicker and simpler than ever before. Now great looking designs can become part of your home, using less tools and less time - thanks to ingenious inbuilt fittings which give a perfect, professional finish to every job. Simple. But ingenious. Total Install®, from Twyford.
TOTAL INSTALL PACK ®
Total Install® comes as standard with Galerie, Galerie Optimise, Encore and Moda, if you wish to add our unique Total Install® system to your bathroom suite, simply order our Total Install® pack, consisting of; Basin bracket and fixings, pan to floor fixings, isolating valve. (Check suitability before ordering).
WASHBASINS Twyford Total Install washbasins are supplied complete with factoryfitted wall brackets and wall fixings. Brackets for the basins, pedestal or wall mounted, can be adjusted for easy post-installation tiling without removal. Smaller tap holes make for accurate alignment and a watertight seal. The end result is a much more secure fit and a more professional finish. ®
Pedestals have clearance for the installation of an in-line waste, removing the risk of misalignment and leaks when plumbed through the floor. This is particularly helpful in cloakroom applications. A new positioning template aids fast and accurate positioning for optimum basin-to-pedestal fit.
WC SUITES
BATHS
WC pans come complete with floor fixings, large ‘drill through’ holes in the pan foot, plugs and integral cover caps, providing a truly secure and professional finish. Seats and covers come factory assembled with a special fast-fix non-corroding hinge. This ensures accurate fitting first time - every time.
Twyford’s Galerie Total Install bath is supplied with all necessary screws and other fixings, and are standardised to reduce the number of tools required. They’re complete with a factory fitted, tubular leg set, which simply flips into place. Shorter bath feet have threaded inserts and make for fast adjustment and levelling. Wooden baseboard runners make baths rigid so there is no need for a ‘fifth foot’. Tap holes are smaller, making brassware easier to fit and align removing the risk of seepage and too-close a fit to surrounding tiling. Baths have an “upstand kit” designed to solve the problem of leakage. Bath panels come with quick and simple magnetic fixings, for easy fitting, access and maintenance.
WC cisterns come with factory-fitted valves and fittings - saving time and energy. A push-fit service valve and connector, for copper or plastic pipe, guarantees a watertight seal without cross-threading or the need for extra parts. The cistern is quickly connected to the pan with inclusive stainless steel bolt kit, comprising fast-fix nuts and a specially supplied tool. The “doughnut” washer is self adhesive and doesn’t move during assembly.
SHOWER ENCLOSURES ®
Total Install® bath panels are suitable for any 1700 x 700mm bath.
Twyford’s range of Outfit shower enclosures are engineered to be installed from the outside, making them ideal where working space is restricted. Profiles are adjusted from the external face and a handy cover plate hides all fixings. The inside of the shower is completely free from screws, producing a clean finish. Uneven walls are not a problem, as all Outfit products have an ample 50mm (25mm each side) post adjustment system.
