Geberit, a European leader in sanitary technology and bathroom ceramics, launches the Sigma40, a new, exceptionally slim actuator plate that measures just 44mm in depth. It is in fact slimmer, wider and shorter than a standard actuator plate.
On top of its minimalist, modern look, the Sigma40 offers a variety of design options. Both square and round versions are available in a large selection of materials – from brushed stainless steel in various colours to glass finishes and coated steel surfaces in an extensive colour palette.

The new Sigma40 actuator plate is particularly appealing to discerning customers with a keen eye for design and high-quality craftsmanship. “With such simple, minimalist designs, it’s crucial to pay close attention to the details. And that’s exactly what we’ve done,” says designer Christoph Behling.
He continues, “If you take a closer look at the plates, you can really see the quality up close – such as the surface texture of the brushed stainless steel or the elegance of the glass coating. This is what sets the Sigma40 apart from the rest. It is not just a simple design, but a simply beautiful one.”

The process of making the actuator plate as thin as possible posed a number of challenges: “It was clear from the outset that the existing fastening system wouldn’t be compatible with such a thin plate,” recalls Pascal Brändli from the development team. The solution came in the form of an innovative snap mechanism, which not only meets the requirement for minimal plate thickness, but also offers intuitive handling for the plumber.
To ensure the mounting frame offered the necessary rigidity and stability despite its depth of only 2mm, the plastic was reinforced with glass fibres. “The insights we’ve gained will be extremely valuable for developing future actuator plates,” enthuses Brändli.


The new collection fills the gap between the Sigma20 and Sigma50. “The design is refined and very clean, while the design of the Sigma50 is a little more extravagant. The Sigma40 range not only includes actuator plates for toilets, but also different versions for urinals as well,” says Behling.
He adds that it Sigma40 different in three ways – proportions, materials and details, and can be considered an upgrade to the existing premium plates.
