In Villeroy & Boch's rimless DirectFlush WCs the conventional flushing rim is replaced with an intelligent water flow that rinses the entire interior of the bowl, without over-splashing. The complete rinsing of the bowl on each and every flush and the prevention of over-splashing are ensured by the special splash guard on the upper edge of the bowl and the higher positioning of the water jets.
Conventional WCs have a narrow flushing rim, the interior of which is most difficult both to view and to access. Instead of this flushing rim DirectFlush WCs are equipped with a small splash guard, allowing the WC bowl to be easily and hygienically cleaned. Even without manual cleaning the WCs of the innovative DirectFlush generation are exceedingly hygienic. With a water consumption of only 3 or 4.5 litres, the innovative flushing technology maintains high flushing efficiency and ensures the rinsing of the entire bowl, so soiling can be avoided from the outset. As the open rim is completely glazed the WC can be quickly, easily and thoroughly cleaned. The WC innovation DirectFlush thus meets the stringent hygiene requirements not only in hospitals or in busy public buildings, but also in private homes.
Villeroy & Boch offers DirectFlush WCS in most of the collections, for example Architectura, Subway, Subway 2.0, Finion, ViClean, Memento 2.0 and more.

More information about hygienic standards:
Hygienically clean and we have proof! One of the leading European Hygiene Institutes, IZORE - the "Centre for Infectious Diseases", Friesland, NL has shown in tests that, thanks to the optimised design, the rimless Villeroy & Boch DirectFlush WC is practically germ-free after cleaning. The low water consumption of just 3/4.5l is standard for Villeroy & Boch and sufficient for flushing the entire bowl. This is better than required by the standard. As standard EN 997 permits an unflushed area of 85 mm below the upper edge for rimless WCs. But DirectFlush flushes the entire inner bowl!
