This new product has been created with the goal of developing the best combination of performance and looks: the beauty of the carbon fiber and the hygiene of the ceramic. Never before has it been recognized the effect that realistic carbon fiber can have on sanitary-ware.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>We see a growing interest on the X-light and X- Light S toilets, our macerator toilets made of full carbon. There is a global trend where carbon fibre is appealing to the high-quality and luxury sector. Nevertheless, full carbon products are not always within the scope of a yacht. Therefore we have been looking for an interesting compromise, to see how we could combine ceramic with carbon fibre<\/em>\u201d, says Gianluca Silvestri, Business Unit Manager of Thetford Marine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New production process<\/strong><br \/>\nThe special material combination can be achieved by applying a custom carbon film onto the ceramic toilet, which is then treated with a special heat program in the oven. The right temperature and the full firing cycle, and with some fine tuning during our extensive testing delivers the desired effect. The result is a stylish and efficient ceramic toilet with a unique carbon look. The surface of the X-Compass is anti-scratch and resistant to any detergent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The original ceramic design<\/strong><br \/>\nLast year we introduced the Compass toilet to provide boaters and manufacturers with the \u201cmost toilet\u201d in the smallest installation area. A ceramic design that is used as a foundation for the X-Compass. The narrow footprint and smart-back of the X-Compass toilet gives maximum space and maximum flexibility, wherever it is installed on board. A unique and versatile solution for boats ranging from 30\u2019-50\u2019 in length.<\/p>\n<p>X-Compass can go straight to the wall or even further towards the hull, thanks to the cut design of ceramic in the back area of the bowl. Not limited by a vertical back step, its visual installation remains perfect \u2013 no matter what installation space the installer has.<br \/>\nThe X-Compass has a narrow thermosetting seat and cover, featuring a soft-close motion that also increases the luxurious feeling on board small- to medium-sized boats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We proudly introduce the \u201cmost toilet\u201d in the smallest installation area with a unique combination of ceramic and carbon.
