Lake Orta is a magical place, at the foot of the Italian Alps, where time seems to have stopped. At the northern end of the lake, you can find the Punti di vista restaurant, located in a spectacular position on the Omegna lakefront. Born from the long experience in the hospitality industry of the owners, Paola and Adriano, “Points of view” is a place that blends “flavours, perfumes, music and voices”: a creation of soul, know-how and skills.

The place is welcoming and elegant, the result of a careful renovation of a historic place that combines the charm of the past with a modern and current vision. For the bathrooms open to guests, the owners chose Idral’s electronic taps, for their essential and clean line and their innovative touch-free technology which, in addition to guaranteeing hygiene, allows you to reduce water waste.

Design

In the renovation project, the bathrooms had to be an extension of the building aesthetics to offer customers a space that was not only functional but also aesthetically appealing. The new “Otto” electronic mixers were then installed since they have a modern design and cutting-edge technology. Since the sinks are placed on the shelf, the owners chose the mixers with extensions. “Otto” taps are designed and manufactured for the specific needs of commercial restrooms and they offer better performance under heavy use than traditional taps.

Sustainability and Hygiene

In the bathroom of a restaurant, there is the risk of wasting hundreds of liters of water per year, due to the incorrect use of the taps or the simple distraction of the customers. To avoid this inconvenience, IDRAL electronic taps, equipped with infrared sensors, represent the ideal solution, given that they dispense water only when needed. In addition, they are equipped with an anti-vandal lock that automatically closes the flow after 60 seconds of continuous dispensing. These taps have a flow rate of 6 l/min (with limiter), much lower than a traditional tap which can consume more than double the amount. To find out more, watch this video.

Electronic taps also help improve hygiene, as users don’t have to touch any surface to turn off the water after washing. Thus, they prevent the spread of germs and promote user safety. Furthermore, the fact of not having to touch the tap handles reduces the frequency of interventions required to keep the surfaces perfectly clean, limiting maintenance costs.
