According to Propelair, its WCs are the highest performers under BREEAM’s water efficiency guidelines and use on average 84% less water than standard toilets.

Engineered specifically for commercial, public, and heavy footfall premises, the Propelair system connects conveniently to existing plumbing systems

The technology, which can be retrofitted to existing drains, has been adopted by over 200 customers, and over 4,500 units are installed across a wide range of commercial buildings.

There has been a growing focus on sustainability and water use in the UK construction industry, evidenced by consultations with the UK government on water labelling and changes to Part G of the building regulations.

Lecico Bathrooms has reported it is looking forward to playing a lead role in addressing these challenges.

Managing Director at Lecico Bathrooms Antony Thompson commented: “We are very excited by the opportunities the partnership with Propelair will present over the coming years, and it highlights our commitment to addressing the sustainability challenges faced by our industry.

“The Lecico Bathrooms team are looking forward to continuing to build on our recent success and we are certain that the addition of the innovative range of Propelair water-saving toilets into our growing portfolio of bathrooms products will accelerate our growth.”

CEO of Propelair David Hollander added: “As sustainability continues to become an essential strategy for businesses in the UK, we have partnered with Lecico to meet the growing demand for our hygienic, water-efficient toilet.

“Propelair has seen growth in our installed base in recent years. A UK partnership with Lecico, an established bathroom manufacturer, was a logical next step to ensure we provide excellent service to current customers in the UK, while also satisfying increasing demand from new customers.

“Internationally, Propelair will continue to grow its presence in South Africa and the Gulf, selling directly to customers and working with select distributors.”
