Making waves: GROHE's innovations for 2019

Water is one of the oldest, simplest and most organic resources we bring into our homes, with natural healing and cleansing properties to be celebrated, utilised and above all enjoyed. Yet instead it’s often wasted, misused, overlooked and uncared for. We’ve lost control.

As one of the leading global developers and innovators of bathroom and kitchen products, GROHE demonstrates a century-long passion for water and its concern for every drop. With new product developments focusing on the relationship between the consumer and water, GROHE uses intelligent innovation to enrich the user experience, giving back enjoyment and control. The 2019 product range includes innovations such as those in the GROHE Atrio faucet collection. Here super-slim cartridge technology creates a uniquely slim, cylindrical shape, allowing consumers to express their own style through this elegant design object.

Fixtures and fittings can be a continuation of a bathroom’s identity, and while the GROHE Eurosmart collection is available in an on-trend matte Midnight Black finish, the GROHE Essence range is customisable in one of ten different colour and finish combinations. Both allow a personal style to flow through every area of the bathroom.

For example, pairing dark marble surfaces with brushed Hard Graphite fixtures creates a daring tone-on-tone environment, or if you prefer juxtaposition, you can mix-up colour or even texture, combining stone surfaces with a polished Warm Sunset finish. The possibilities are many and as all finishes feature scratch-resistant GROHE PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition), their perfect finish is final.

The technology continues, whether it’s with the GROHE Sensia Arena shower toilet – utilising warm water and a host of other innovations to open up a new dimension of personalised hygiene – or the GROHE Euphoria SmartControl shower system, presenting a variety of shower controls for total authority over the full-body cleansing experience.

In the contemporary smart home, it’s in the kitchen where technology can really take hold. GROHE’s latest product developments include the Essence Professional tap and an extensive range of sinks, fitted in just about any way you can think of. The GROHE Red and GROHE Blue Watersystems are another impressive innovation. The pair provides fresh, filtered water – either still, medium, sparkling or boiling hot – at the touch of a button. The on-demand service means no additional kettles, pots or plastic bottles and you only use what you need. Sustainability at its simplest.

‘All of this technology is great, but isn’t there just more to go wrong?’ people often ask. Leading the world of water security products in 2019 are GROHE Sense and GROHE Sense Guard, which re-install trust into our water systems. Connected to the network, GROHE Sense Guard can detect micro leaks or subtle changes in water consumption, sending warning notifications or, in some cases, automatically cutting off the water supply. The GROHE Sense uses humidity, temperature and water sensors to track changes and warns of a potential problem before a large insurance claim is required. Surprisingly inexpensive, multiple Sense sensors can be dotted around the home in advised areas to provide full home coverage, whatever the weather.

Using intelligent solutions to enhance homeowners’ relationships with water, GROHE’s innovative 2019 collections put control back into the hands of the consumer.

Control it. Celebrate it. Enjoy it.
