TECEprofil - The pre-wall element for toilets, wash basins and more

Design the construction process in the bathroom flexibly and determine it yourself with pre-wall installation

In the bathroom, all the demanding building trades come together. And it is precisely here, in the smallest of spaces, that coordination with other trades must function down to the smallest detail.

For more than 20 years, TECEprofil has offered the best basis for reducing interfaces and fulfilling customer wishes. With the TECE pre-wall element, you can install the toilet, washstand and other sanitary elements in the bathroom using the dry construction method, easily and individually. Regardless of factors that usually dictate placement in the bathroom.

You can use pre-wall technology to realise different room layouts and comply with standards and regulations. Simple and safe. Nothing stands in the way of uncomplicated bathroom renovation with the TECEprofil pre-wall element.

The universal solution: Pre-wall technology with TECEprofil.

Renovating a bathroom should be fun. After all, in every renovation there is the potential to realise individual wishes exactly the way one wants. The same applies to new buildings.

But neither in renovation nor in new construction do architects, planners or installers find optimal conditions. Sometimes the risers and downpipes are too far away from the fixtures and fittings, sometimes the client wants an optimised room layout in functional areas. And sometimes roof slopes, dormers or unusual floor plans make implementation difficult. Often the pipes are not arranged in such a way that they fit the desired position of the toilet or washstand.

Pre-wall technology with profile – TECEprofil.

Slimline privacy walls

Thanks to the introduction of two new components, TECE now enables slimline privacy walls to be constructed without fixtures at a depth of just 69 mm (including 2 x 18 mm cladding).

Previously, the TECEprofil installation guidelines only allowed a thickness of at least 206 mm for the construction of such single-sided, partialheight walls, as these required a correspondingly wide supporting foot when fixed on one side.

With the option of slimline privacy walls, TECE has met the wishes of many fitters who prefer a spacesaving solution where no fixtures are planned: for example, for simple modesty walls by the toilet or to separate a shower area

Easy to install

For this purpose, TECE has developed a new double bracket (1) and a new push-in bracket (2). These make it possible to erect a privacy screen with a single TECEprofil profile pipe (3), which is only fastened to the unfinished floor and a solid wall. This allows the installer to create slimline privacy walls that are up to 2 m high from the finished floor and up to 1.4 m wide from the solid wall – and are designed to be so stable that they more than meet all the challenges in the bathroom.

Just be safe

The low thickness of the slimline privacy walls does not, of course, come at the expense of stability. To test this, we put the slimline privacy walls built with TECEprofil through the so-called ‘soft joint’ verification procedure. This test method is defined in DIN 4103-1:2015-06 and ensures that the construction stands securely even when subjected to unfavourable forces.

But see for yourself with our video of the load test.

As toilet pre-wall element and for the entire sanitary connection

The TECEprofil pre-wall installation gives you complete design freedom and allows you to implement everything simply, safely, quickly and cleanly. Creatively implement different functional arrangements in the room or integrate shelves into the furnishings. You can easily install any sanitary

system for dry construction, from washstand to WC modules. Because all sanitary modules are already pre-assembled in the pre-wall system.

You can carry out joint planning with the end customer just as easily as prefabrication in the plumber's workshop or industrially by TECE. So everyone involved will agree: a pre-wall with TECEprofil is THE solution.

Drywall profiles as problem solvers in bathroom planning

A pre-wall element is the ideal solution if you want to keep the effort involved in bathroom planning to a minimum. It also allows you to react flexibly to given conditions such as laid pipes. TECEprofil is a pre-wall element for toilets, wash basins and other elements - a pipe and fastening system that is planked with gypsum boards after installation. TECEprofil is realised in dry construction. The dry construction profile is the optimum alternative to time-consuming wet construction. Walls do not have to be torn open or demolished. Dry construction profiles are generally a popular variant for advancing building plans without building dirt. It is not for nothing that the dry construction profile is one of the most widely used constructions in dry construction.

Pipes can be laid on the pre-wall independently of the given installation in the house. This gives you the freedom to flexibly integrate the toilet into the bathroom, for example. Innovative solutions such as the shower toilet also find all the necessary prerequisites here. Existing guidelines on fire protection and sound insulation are taken into account in equal measure.

Flexibility, lower costs and less effort with TECEprofil. Whether builder, architect or installer - all parties involved in planning and implementation benefit from this installation wall!

Close to you

Making a product better requires a deeper understanding of the users’ needs. That’s why <close to you> is not just our promise to our customers – it’s a mindset we live every day. It’s reflected in our genuine interest in their concerns and in a strong culture of asking questions and truly understanding. Combined with a passion for technology and design, it is this mindset that has made us successful on an international level.

A culture of inquisitiveness.

The company, TECE, has grown through its particular proximity to, and dialogue with, customers. By means of this approach, our culture of inquisitiveness has taken root and shapes the company’s philosophy.

The Executive Board of TECE SE (from left to right): André Welle, Peter Fehlings, and Dr. Michael Freitag.

Together with Gerd Fehlings, his father, Thomas Fehlings founded the TECE Group in 1987. He was a shareholder and Managing Director until 2014.

An eye for innovation

Thomas Fehlings summed up the company’s mission with a simple drawing and the words: “water in, water out”. In this context, not only did he keep in mind the user’s comfort and standard of living, but also the demands of planners, architects, fitters and operators.

90 percent of TECE products operate reliably and invisibly behind a wall or inside a pre-wall installation. Only 10 percent are visible in front of the wall. This includes, for instance, our flush plates and shower channels.

Our system solutions combine permanently safe functions with a timeless design. This combination is representative of the driving force behind our company – making good products even better.

Innovation makes all the difference.

Curiosity leads to innovation. TECE has repeatedly set standards in the industry – including on an international level through unique solutions, thanks to the individual advantages that they offer.

TECEprofil – Accessories

For difficult tasks: clever special parts

For the special fastening of pipes, dealing with sloping roofs or also for saving material: the special components of TECEprofil pre-wall elements make work even easier and are a useful addition to the system. This means that almost every structural requirement in the bathroom can be realised.

Double joint

Double joints for simultaneous fastening of two TECEprofil profile pipes (without intermediate strut) to the building structure, for example for half-height pre-walls

Foot for free-standing walls

Support foot for secure reinforcement of free-standing TECEprofil support structures.

Universal connector

You cannot always work at right angles. For this you use the stepless universal connector for any angle.

Ball joint

For universal fastening of components in the TECEprofil support structure. Almost all angles and positions can be adjusted via the ball joint.

Fixing bracket

Fixing bracket for holding a threaded rod available in M8 and M10 versions.

Advantages of TECEsystem sanitary walls & shafts

We want to solve problems that occur every day on the construction site and make the work of installers, architects and planners more difficult. Customer feedback is therefore particularly important for us. And so, with TECEsystem, we were able to create an all-inclusive package that solves problems.

How you benefit from TECEsystem:

TECEsystem sanitary walls produced on a metre-by-metre basis: Adjust the individual segments easily and precisely directly at the installation site.
Easy assembly of the sanitary wall: One person is sufficient to assemble the sanitary wall. The prefabricated, height-adjustable register feet make it possible. In addition, the lost formwork saves time and ensures safe filling of ceiling openings.
Components that are already screwed in place can be adjusted on site: because all components of the sanitary shafts and walls from TECEsystem are sound-decoupled.
Complete and controlled prefabrication of the components: TECEsystem sanitary walls and sanitary shafts already have all the pipework and other elements that are important for sanitary installations.
Individually manufactured sanitary walls: TECEsystem can be implemented as a half-height sanitary wall as well as a room-height sanitary shaft. The degree of prefabrication ranges from an uncased supporting structure with sanitary modules to a fully cased system wall.
Hygienic and safe: All TECEsystem components are tested and comply with the relevant standards and regulations. This guarantees drinking water hygiene, fire protection and, of course, sound insulation.

Missing coordination in the construction process

Investors and architects, designers and fitters: They can all tell you a thing or two about how many construction sites are in a poor state. In new construction and renovation projects, there are always deficiencies, there is a lack of willingness to cooperate on the part of the trades and skilled workers, and there is inadequate preparation, coordination and documentation. The result: delays in construction. With all the consequences.
