Ideal Standard has expanded its Alu+ range with taps, beauty bars and accessories, and two new finishes – Bronze and Chrome. Originally launched as a showering collection, award-winning Alu+ now offers even greater design flexibility and 100% recycled aluminium across showers, taps and accessories.
Designed by Roberto and Ludovica Palomba, Alu+ combines slim profiles with integrated functionality to suit bathrooms of all sizes, particularly those where space is limited. The extended collection reflects a growing trend for coordinated bathroom schemes that balance design, practicality and sustainability.
The introduction of Bronze responds to the increasing popularity of warmer metallic finishes, offering a softer alternative to black fittings and pairing with natural materials and earthy colour palettes. Chrome joins the collection as a timeless option, complementing the existing Silk Black, Rosé and Silver finishes to provide greater design flexibility.
One collection, multiple functions
Alongside the new finishes, Ideal Standard has broadened the collection with coordinated products designed to maximise space. Integrated shower shelves provide storage within the showering area, while beauty bars combine mirrors and accessories in a compact solution for smaller bathrooms. Matching accessories, including toilet roll holders, toilet brushes and flush plates, allow a consistent design aesthetic throughout the space.
The thinking behind Alu+ is simple: good design should do more. Developed with the realities of modern urban living in mind, the collection incorporates intelligent features that help maximise both functionality and available space.
Integrated shower shelves provide convenient storage for everyday products, while the coordinated Beauty Bars combine mirrors and accessories into a compact solution for smaller bathrooms. Available in multiple sizes, they offer practical storage without adding visual clutter. Matching accessories, including toilet roll holders, toilet brushes and flush plates, allow consumers to extend the design language throughout the room.
The collection also includes single-lever basin and bidet mixers featuring Ideal Standard’s market-leading FirmaFlow® XS cartridge technology. Tested for 500,000 cycles – twice the industry standard – they deliver exceptional durability alongside their distinctive design.

Sustainability designed in
Sustainability remains central to the Alu+ collection, with components now manufactured from 100% recycled aluminium, an increase from the previous 84%. The range also incorporates high-performance polymers suitable for drinking water applications, plastic-free packaging and water-saving technologies. Basin mixers are designed to use just 3.8 litres of water per minute, while low-flow showering products reduce water consumption without compromising performance.
Designed to elevate everyday routines
Shower systems feature Ideal Standard’s SilkRain spray technology, delivering softer, quieter water droplets, alongside a traditional Rain spray option. PreciTherm thermostat technology maintains a consistent water temperature, while CoolBody technology helps keep exposed surfaces safe to touch.
By extending Alu+ beyond showering into taps and accessories, Ideal Standard has created a coordinated bathroom collection that combines contemporary design, intelligent functionality and a more sustainable approach to bathroom specification.
