Abstract: The invention relates to a carrier body (1) for sanitary surface material, having a bearing surface for the sanitary surface material, having a floor surface for arranging on an underlying surface, having a through-opening which runs approximately in the vertical direction of the horizontal carrier body, and forms lateral end surfaces, and having a sealing element, which covers over at least one of the surfaces at least in part, wherein the sealing element on the at least one surface is fixed only to a first sub-region (11) and loosely covers over at least a further, second sub-region (12) of the surface. The invention also relates to a method of adapting such a carrier body to the desired floor dimensions of a sanitary shower facility, and to the use of this carrier body for a sanitary cubicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a frameless, self-supporting tub partition (1) comprising at least one wall element (3) of synthetic glass, characterized in that the tub partition (1) comprises at least one supplemental element (5) that may be detachably affixed to the wall element (3), whereby the supplemental element (5) is configured to protect and/or to adapt and/or to mark the at least one wall element (3) to local installation dimensions during installation of the tub partition (1) by means of a processing device. The invention also relates to a method to install such a tub partition.

Abstract: A towel dryer includes an aluminum body having an outer surface that supports a towel to be dried. The surface has a degree of reflectance of not less than 80% for more efficient transfer of heat from the body to the towel. The outer body surface is an oxidized surface to resist corrosion, and a clear coating may be provided over the surface.
