Green systems spell success at Hansgrohe

01 November 2016

German luxury bathroom specialist Hansgrohe is witnessing high demand for its luxurious and environment-friendly showering systems across the Middle East region.

Among the new products launched by the company this year is the Crometta showerhead range that meets the local requirements for water saving with the EcoSmart version, which limits water flow to nine litres per minute – and in the case of the new Crometta Green hand shower, to six litres per minute – due to special spray nozzles and a flow limitation system.

“This also means that less energy is needed to heat water,” says Alexandra Wormser, marketing specialist at Hansgrohe Middle East. “Because of these ecological and economic benefits, the Crometta overhead and hand showers have proved particularly popular with large-scale hotel bathroom projects.”

Hansgrohe has also seen great success this year for its innovative Croma Select range, which offers a truly individualised shower experience. The collection features Select technology, making it easy to switch between spray modes at the intuitive touch of a button.

The Croma Select Multi hand shower boasts three different kinds of spray setting: a soft rain shower, a powerful intense rain mode, and a pulsating water jet massage. “The chic design makes the range especially appealing; all products have a two-toned finish with a white spray disc, a shiny chrome casing, and a convenient handle,” she adds.

Wormser continues: “Luxury spa lovers in the region, and perhaps those who miss the feel of cleansing rain on the skin have also embraced the luxurious Rainmaker Select shower by Hansgrohe. Featuring a wide rectangular head, it offers three nature-inspired settings: Rain, Mono, and RainStream.

“This popular system is the visual and functional response to the growing need for comfort and aesthetic appeal in the bathroom.”

Expansion

Hansgrohe has built a global reputation in creating cutting-edge products that can be tailored to meet individual needs, while maintaining the highest quality standards and aesthetics, says Wormser. “The company has been delighted with the response in this part of the world to its unique showering systems, and we will be expanding further into the market over the coming months with new showrooms and some very high profile projects,” she adds.

Hansgrohe is based in Schiltach, in Germany’s Black Forest. Over its 115-year history, it has acquired a reputation as a leading innovator in technology, design and sustainability in the sanitation industry. The mixers, showerheads and shower systems created by Hansgrohe SE are original products that make bathrooms more functional, more comfortable and more aesthetically pleasing.

These products can be found in such prestigious venues as the luxury ocean liner Queen Mary II, London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (the world’s tallest building), the German Chancellery in Berlin, New York’s Yoo luxury residences and the Masdar City Institute of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi.

The company and its products have been honoured with numerous awards, the most recently ones being the iF Award Gold 2015, the Wallpaper* Design Award 2015 in the category ‘Best Domestic Product Design’ and the Elle Decoration International Design Award 2015.

Hansgrohe ranks 10th among 2,000 companies in the current ranking of the International Forum Design (iF) of the world’s best enterprises in the field of design.
