Geberit FlowFit: Engineered Beyond The Curve
In a construction environment defined by compressed timelines, tighter footprints, and rising sustainability standards, installers and specifiers are seeking solutions that go beyond the conventional. Enter Geberit FlowFit - the intelligent, multi- layer piping system engineered to perform under real-world conditions
D
eveloped to meet the demands of modern buildings and modern installers, Geberit FlowFit is helping professionals move Beyond The Curve of traditional design and delivery constraints - offering faster installation, fewer fittings, and smarter engineering from the inside out.
Multi-layer piping: the new gold standard
Multi-layer piping isn’t a new concept, but recent innovations have significantly evolved its capabilities. At the forefront of this evolution is Geberit FlowFit – a three-layer system that smartly integrates a corrosion-resistant plastic inner layer, a stabilising aluminium core, and a protective plastic outer layer. This layered structure combines the strength and dimensional stability of metal with the flexibility and acoustic benefits of plastic. The result is a system that’s ideally suited to the curved, complex, and often confined layouts of today’s domestic and commercial environments. Whether navigating through service voids in high-density residential blocks or adapting to tight riser spaces in retrofitted office developments, Geberit FlowFit offers a streamlined, flexible solution - one that enables designers and installers to confidently build Beyond The Curve.
Designed for the complexity of real buildings
Geberit FlowFit isn’t just engineered for performance, it’s engineered for the people who install it. The system is exceptionally installer- friendly, enabling pipe runs to be bent by hand (within certain dimensions), eliminating the need for hot works, and significantly reducing on-site installation time. With just two pressing jaws required to install
across its entire eight-size range, Geberit FlowFit simplifies tooling and accelerates workflows, particularly valuable in large-scale residential and modular projects. The system’s patented lateral pressing method enhances flexibility further by allowing work to continue in close quarters — next to walls, ceilings, and ductwork, without compromising joint integrity. Add to this built-in inspection windows and visible pressing indicators, and Geberit FlowFit
delivers complete installation confidence with every connection.
Acoustic performance and environmental efficiency
Beyond practical installation benefits, Geberit FlowFit addresses two of the most persistent challenges in multi-occupancy buildings: noise and energy loss. Traditional metal piping is a known conductor of sound. In high-rise apartments, hotels, or healthcare settings, water hammer or flushing noise can quickly become a daily nuisance. Geberit FlowFit’s multi-layer structure naturally dampens these vibrations at the source, enhancing occupant comfort without the need for additional insulation. From a sustainability perspective, the system’s recyclable components and efficient thermal performance also help to reduce heat loss and support low-carbon building strategies, all without compromising on performance or durability.
Optimised flow for smarter system design
Geberit FlowFit isn’t just an install solution, it
enhances system design from the ground up. The pipe system’s flow-optimised geometry, including swept interior bore profiles, minimises turbulence and pressure loss. As a result, water moves through the system more efficiently, helping maintain higher velocities without excessive pump demands.
For system designers, this opens the door
to reducing pipe diameters in certain applications, freeing up space in service zones and reducing material usage, adding a further layer of value engineering.
A smarter way to value engineer
The need for value engineering isn’t going away, but expectations around quality and long-term performance are rising. Geberit FlowFit delivers both. Its durable, corrosion-resistant design reduces the risk of failures, while every joint is press- verified for peace of mind. Fewer fittings. Less equipment. No need for copper, and no risk of theft or costly rework. Already proven across Europe in everything
from next-gen apartments to modern care homes, Geberit FlowFit is designed to meet the real-world demands of today’s commercial and residential projects, as well as those still to come.
Go beyond installation, beyond convention, and Beyond The Curve
As buildings get smaller, smarter, and more demanding, the systems that support them must evolve. Geberit FlowFit is helping lead that change, with a flexible, efficient, and future-fit solution that simplifies installation, reduces environmental impact, and optimises performance at every turn.
