In practical test GROHE Rapid SL proved to be the quickest installation system.
GROHE subjected Rapid SL for dry-cladding for WCs to a practical test conducted by an independent institute with the products of five other renowned manufacturers.
Pre-wall installation
WC frames for dry-cladding with actuation
Over 30 % time saving compared to the runner-up; with the lead over the mid-range even at 100% or more.
Studded wall installation
WC frames for dry-cladding with actuation
Up to 90 % time gain possible compared to the tested competitors’ products.
Assuming 1.000 installed WC frames, the total labour time saved amounts to more than five complete working weeks per year!
The REFA labour time evaluation commissioned by GROHE was based on a comparison of the installation times and procedures for six installation systems for dry cladding from leading manufacturers. The practical test was first conducted in 2007 and updated by a follow-up test under the same conditions in 2009 and 2011. The installations were performed by qualified fitters designated by the Dortmund Chamber of Skilled Crafts. 5 rough installations and 7 final installations were performed on trial walls for each make. The fitters took turns and worked under otherwise identical conditions.
