Grohe aims for form and functionality

01 December 2018

Grohe, a leading global supplier of sanitary fittings, says it is now setting new standards by ensuring the ideal combination of form and functionality in modern bathrooms. The company’s shower trays are designed as ‘PerfectMatch’, which means that they not only match any of the three design lines – Grohe Bau, Grohe Euro and Grohe Cube – but can also be optimally combined with other Grohe bathroom accessories.

“Specialist retailers benefit from this versatility since Grohe, as a full-service supplier, offers complete solutions and simplifies implementing individual customer wishes in a unique Grohe design from a single source, drawing on Lixil’s decades of know-how in this category,” says a spokesman for the Germany-based company.

Grohe has been part of the Lixil Group Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer of building materials and housing equipment, since 2014.

With its latest move, Grohe continues to position itself as a full-service provider in the bathroom.

“Whether it is for a new-build or a bathroom remodelling project, the needs for a comfortable and at the same time modern-designed spa bathroom increase. Therefore, contemporary solutions provide not only satisfaction but, in many cases, also a visual enhancement. With the extra-low-profile Grohe shower trays, design accents can be set that ultimately increase the property’s value,” the spokesman says.

The slim and minimalist design of the shower trays ensures consistent flow of form and functionality.

The high-quality Grohe shower trays are particularly low profile and, with their depth of only 3 cm, a design object of every bathroom, he points out.

“This makes the installation particularly sustainable, as accessibility is guaranteed. The different versions in rectangular or square models adapt seamlessly to all designs. With sizes from 80 by 80 cm up to 90 by 120 cm, Grohe offers a total of seven different dimensions,” the spokesman explains.

All of the shower tray models are made of high-quality sanitary acrylic in an Alpine White finish which feels pleasantly warm even at the first touch. The non-porous and smooth surface ensures increased slip resistance during showering. The tray’s solid, full-surface base features stability and longevity, he adds.

The various combinations of ceramic products, fittings and accessories are illustrated in a slider presentation on the Grohe website, allowing potential customers to select a particular combination. Print and download features provide the information as needed. In addition, all relevant product and planning data as well as building information modelling (BIM) data are available.

Grohe is a leading provider of sanitary fittings. As an international brand, it pursues the brand values of technology, quality, design and sustainability, seeking to offer the “Pure joy of water”. Grohe has been developing new product categories since its inception. This includes the Grohe Blue and Red water systems and the recently-introduced Grohe Sense water security system, which is an innovative component in the growth market of smart home technology.
