• Approved quality for wet rooms
• Smart app control for selected models

No bathroom – whether a large family bathroom or a guest toilet – should be without an illuminated mirror. Such mirrors are more than mere functional accessories: they create the opportunity for an individual statement without having to compromise on design, functionality, and comfort. Mirrors and the accompanying lighting in the bathroom not only need to be optimally harmonized with one another, they should also be easy to operate while avoiding glare and mist as far as possible.

Who has never experienced standing in a steaming bathroom after a hot shower in the morning, especially in autumn and winter? The mirrors mist up, making it all but impossible to do your hair or makeup. Mirror heating can help by reliably preventing the mirror surface from misting up.

This option is already integrated on many mirrors of the Duravit designer furniture series and the “best” models of the universal Light and Mirror range, or can be ordered as an option.

On the models Happy D.2 Plus, Luv , XSquare, and the icon version of XViu, the heating is switched on and off using an icon on the operating panel, while on the other models it is connected to the light. The integrated “auto-off” function switches the heating off after an hour.


Contactless operation

Two convenient operating systems are available: an integrated sensor ensures that the mirror and the accompanying light can be operated contactlessly. As an alternative, a contactless control panel for the main light, ambient light, light temperature, and mirror heating is available on the surface of the mirror. Contactless control is hygienic and also prevents unwanted fingerprints on the surface.


Control via the Casambi app

Creating a pleasant atmosphere in the bathroom is easier than ever with mirrors that are compatible with the Casambi light-control app, such as those in the White Tulip or Zencha range. Light temperature with a memory effect, mirror heating, or dim function are really easy to control. Additionally, customers can create and save scenes, such as extra-soft lighting for some spa downtime in the home bathroom.


Glare-free lighting alongside optimum illumination

To ensure the best luminous efficacy at all times, Duravit uses modern technology to create computer simulations for a precise calculation of the light extraction. Specially selected LEDs are used with a guaranteed service life of at least 30 years [1] and consistently high luminous efficiency. The spacing of the individual LEDs on the circuit boards is individually defined and specially manufactured for each product and model.

The light sources on mirror solutions with a light band in the mirror surface - such as Brioso, Duravit No.1, Happy D.2 Plus, L-Cube, Luv, XSquare, XViu, and Zencha or on the products from the universal Light and Mirrors range - are deflected by a reflector. This specially constructed light deflection guarantees glare-free lighting on all models. As a rule, individual light sources are not visible, the light is homogeneous, has optimum brightness of at least 300 lux in the field of vision, as well as high color fidelity for natural color rendering of skin tones. The light color is 3500 or 4000 Kelvin depending on the model.

Quality, sustainability and safety

All Duravit mirror and mirror cabinet models are sparing in their use of energy. The development process also involves comprehensive tests in a climatic chamber to ensure that the materials can also cope with extreme conditions. This includes for example high temperatures or high humidity as well as splash-proof protection pursuant to IP44.

[1] life = 30000 hours; the service life is approx. 30 years assuming daily use of 2.5 hours
