Hansgrohe’s Crometta ... water-saving features.

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.”
