SCHELL brings a fresh look to
existing properties.
Property renovations have clear goals: improving efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring the hygienic and legally compliant operation of the drinking water installation. SCHELL always has a compatible solution – from professional water-saving electronic fittings for any installation scenario through to our SWS Water Management System. This page provides you with more information about options for renovating sanitary facilities easily and economically with support from SCHELL.
Subject to a continuous process of development and always compliant with current standards, solutions and products from SCHELL are valued by building operators and tradespersons for their safety and convenience, their long-term cost effectiveness and their ease of installation.
Safety and convenience
Aesthetically appealing modernisation work significantly increases the value of a building. Durable SCHELL fittings give any sanitary facility timeless elegance and the finishing touch – without major conversion work. Many SCHELL fittings have already picked up awards for their design.
Examples of award-winning SCHELL design:
XERIS E-T
Triple award winner for its design and functionality
PURIS E
Design Plus Award
GRANDIS E
Iconic Awards 2022, Innovative Interior: Best of the Best
EDITION designer angle valve set
Triple award winner for its design and functionality
Safety and convenience
According to the WHO, 80% of all infectious diseases are transmitted by touching contaminated surfaces. Low-contact and contactless fittings minimise the risk of infection, making them ideal when swapping out fittings as part of a renovation project.
Typical applications for contactless and low-contact fittings from SCHELL:
Wash basin: XERIS E for renovations to add value
Wash basin: MODUS E for small-scale budgets
Kitchen: GRANDIS E in the office kitchenette
Shower: LINUS Inox in swimming baths and spas
WC/urinal: EDITION concealed WC flushing systems
Safety and convenience
The SCHELL Healthcare Portfolio offers standards-compliant products for equipping sanitary facilities intended for use by disabled people. During renovation work, existing fitting connections can be reused – with the SCHELL renovation set for the MODUS series, for example. This avoids time-consuming conversion work.

Safety and convenience
Retrofit your facility for high-risk user groups: Simply swap out the existing fittings for fittings with anti-scalding protection. SCHELL fittings with a ThermoProtect thermostat offer reliable anti-scalding protection in kindergartens, nursing facilities and public sports venues.

Conformity with regulations
Sanitary facilities are often a focus of building renovations. This is because, to maintain water quality, regulations require a complete exchange of water across all tapping points in the building after no more than 72 hours. Help is at hand with solutions from SCHELL. We offer support for achieving the standards-compliant operation of drinking water installations – also with renovation solutions.

Conformity with regulations
Renovate while staying compliant: Solutions from SCHELL help building operators to maintain drinking water quality as required by the German Drinking Water Regulation (TrinkwV). A recommended approach is to use electronic fittings and implement a water management system in order to simulate specified normal operation.

Conformity with regulations
For more complex renovation or refurbishment projects, the drinking water installation often needs to be taken out of service. Depending on the scheduled interruption in service, various activities will need to be completed. If installation decommissioning/recommissioning is unavoidable, our SCHELL experts will be on hand to provide advice and assistance.

Partial renovations of semi-public and public buildings often include work on shared-use kitchenettes. A renovation project is a good opportunity to replace old kitchen taps with the GRANDIS E kitchen tap, which offers hybrid control options. Combining easy operation with a timeless design, this tap is a great choice for day-to-day use and long-term durability.

Renovating shower cubicles is often easier than it may seem. SCHELL offers suitable solutions for straightforward installation. SCHELL exposed shower panels are especially renovation-friendly, for example, because they can be fitted by just one person and installed over existing connections – even when concealed showers have been in use previously.

Exposed WC flush valves from SCHELL are an industry standard for renovations. As part of a modernisation project, they can simply be installed on existing exposed installations. The SCHELLOMAT helps to save water and easily handles constant, day-to-day use. The MONTUS Flow and MONTUS Flow H WC modules are suitable for networking with SWS. If a bathroom renovation is planned, it’s worth installing the modules at the same time, so as to be prepared for a later deployment of SWS.
