GROHE’s Essence tap range is now more simple and stylish than ever. By building the tap around the new 28 mm cartridge, GROHE has been able to slim down its appearance, enhancing the range’s cylindrical and sophisticated shape. Slim shape, stylish design
GROHE’s Essence range makes sophisticated purist design affordable. The range includes four wash basin taps sized from small (S) to extra-large (XL), with the small version being the slimmest of all GROHE taps currently on the market. All Essence products share a similar look, allowing consumers to co-ordinate an entire bathroom effortlessly. Essence mixers have been tested with numerous washbasin combinations, and the results can be found on the GROHE BestMatch™ website or app, pairing together perfect tap and basin combinations.

Balancing comfort and sustainability
The new range is a great choice for sustainability. All Essence single-lever mixers for washbasins incorporate cartridges equipped with integrated temperature limiters, and the range also features a GROHE EcoJoy® mousseur which reduces water flow volume without compromising on performance. For additional energy savings, the S-sized model is available with GROHE SilkMove® ES technology to prevent hot water being used when not needed. To ensure splash-free operation, the larger taps come with a swivel spout and an adjustable GROHE AquaGuide mousseur, which can be pitched at an angle to deliver water exactly where the user needs it. GROHE’s QuickFix® Plus system ensures straightforward and time-saving installation.

Rich choice of variants
Other variants for washbasins include 3-hole or 2-hole combinations and wall-mounted mixers with various sized spouts, to match an assortment of washbasins. The range also features concealed and exposed fixtures for tubs and showers, 3-hole and 4-hole tub combinations as well as a free-standing tub filler.

The GROHE Essence line: combining minimalist, stylish design with great performance, available from June 2015.
