About Hansgrohe

Whether showering, bathing or washing your hands, you will immediately notice the excellent quality of Hansgrohe products. But who is behind the beautifully designed quality showers and faucets “Made in Germany”? Read on.

Made in Germany branded products

German Made

Around 80% of Hansgrohe production takes place in Southern Germany – in a total of five plants in Schiltach and Offenburg. This despite the fact that Hansgrohe achieves around 80% of its sales revenue abroad. The question is, why does a company with a broad international base still produce in Germany – when it would seem to be more cost-effective to produce all over the world? The answer from the Black Forest is: because Hansgrohe counts on German expertise and offers its customers a guarantee of quality.

*Duravit AG is an international manufacturer of bathroom furnishings headquartered in Hornberg, Germany. While it is best known for its products in the sanitary sector, with its growth and expansion Duravit now covers the whole spectrum of bathroom interiors providing products in sanitary ceramics, bathroom furniture and the Bathtub + Wellness business area.

Here are a few of the product categories from Duravit available through Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center:

GUEST BATHROOMS AND POWDER ROOMS PROVIDE A PLACE TO UNWIND.

Because of their inherent space limitations, many guest bathrooms and powder rooms face unavoidable design challenges that leave them looking cramped or sparsely furnished. Duravit offers the ultimate solution to these constraints through its wide offering of flexible, design-conscious products. Depending on the available space, budget and personal preferences, Duravit can transform even the smallest powder room into a comfortable place to unwind.

The family bathroom has to meet the needs of all generations. It’s the one room in the house where young foam fighters can have great fun and later, as teenagers, go on to create pandemonium in the mornings. All this means that the bathroom's furnishing should meet the highest requirements in terms of durability, practicality and robustness. At the same time, parents see the bathroom as a private, welcoming space for comfort and relaxation. It is a delicate balancing act that Duravit masters to perfection with the Ketho and 2nd floor ranges. The high-quality workmanship behind the ranges offers long-term durability, even when subjected to the high energy activity of children. The ceramics and furniture, mirrors, mirrored cabinets and mobile units are available in various dimensions and designs for maximum planning freedom and to ensure an optimum layout.

A WORLD OF RELAXATION IN THE PRIVATE BATHROOM. WELLNESS IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN A SMALL AMOUNT OF SPACE.

Many hotels offer wellness treatments in order to give guests the opportunity to relax and escape from the hectic and stresses of everyday life. More and more people now prefer to enjoy the beneficial and invigorating experience of a hotel spa in the comfort of their own four walls. Good to know: whirltub, pool, steam shower or sauna are now also available for use in private bathrooms.

THE DREAM OF LIVING IN NATURE.

What could be better than having your own patch of green for recharging your batteries, relaxing and simply enjoying life. Everyone can “furnish” even the smallest area of nature just the way they want it. The outdoor area increasingly becomes a “green living room”, organised and furnished like a room in the house but just without a roof. Thanks to recent innovations from the bathroom world, this garden living room can even become a wellness oasis. Manufacturers such as Duravit are moving the indoor spa pleasure out into the open air with weather-resistant bathtubs and pools.

Select from these fine Duravit products and many others at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center. Call or visit today for expert advice in appliances and plumbing fixtures.

Known for appliances, Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) now has beautiful baths and sinks.

Dornborcht. Evolution in the bathroom.

For the first time, HORIZONTAL SHOWER permits showering using the AMBIANCE TUNING TECHNIQUE while reclining. The application combines six WATER BARS recessed into a broad shower field above a reclining space, along with an eTOOL as the main operating element. Just as with VERTICAL SHOWER, with HORIZONTAL SHOWER the user can also choose from among a variety of pre-programmed choreographies, offering a range of settings for water temperature, intensity and quantity. The user can decide from among BALANCING, ENERGIZING or DE-STRESSING effects.

The distinguishing feature of this Deque is its severe use of forms, reduced to the flat, wide spout. The new, low fitting lies close to the basin, directing attention to the essential element of this series – the presentation of the water.

The striking thing about Deque is contrast: firstly between the gentle path of the water and the severe shape of the fitting, and secondly between the emphatically flat spout and the cylindrical control elements, a discontinuity of form that is particularly evident in the single-lever mixer.

Go bold with Kohler's new collection of sinks created in collaboration with designer Jonathan Adler. The series introduces four special-edition colors available on six enameled cast iron kitchen and bathroom sinks. Available on select sinks in limited quantity, the punchy colors include Greenwich Green, Piccadilly Yellow, Palermo Blue and Annapolis Navy.

Sized to fit smaller baths and smaller budgets, the new Steam@Home from Mr. Steam offers a compact version of the company’s regular generators. The models, designed for 3-ft. x 4-ft. or 3-ft. x 5-ft. tiled showers and existing acrylic units, feature a 20-minute timer, a polished chrome in-shower control and a cool-to-the-touch AromaSteam steamhead that can hold essential oils.

Pictured above are three new Thermasol control and steamhead styles — Regency, Deco and Icon. Each style is designed to complement existing trim designs offered by most bath manufacturers. The Regency style features Neoclassically inspired beveled edges and elegant profiles while Deco’s linear symmetry is reminiscent of early 20th century style. Icon’s minimalist design features rounded corners and a minimalist design.

Moen has introduced a new handheld shower with a “Twist”. The Twist shower head will switch to four different spray patterns by pushing the Soft Grip thumb pad to swivel the shower head. The unit stops spraying while being switched to prevent unintended spraying of nearby walls or ceiling. Twist comes in a variety of sprays, ranging from a heavy mist to a strong, focused rinse, and is available in chrome, LifeShine brushed nickel and oil rubbed bronze finishes. A version of the Twist is also offered as a shower-only model.

Shown above, Kallista’s new Raindome showerhead with an air-induction system creates a powerful, enveloping spray. The design features Katalyst technology, which injects air into the water drops to improve the shower’s performance. The Raindome has an improved nozzle configuration which has 102 nozzles. This enables greater coverage and more even exposure.
