Your taste is as unique as your personality. A matching shower for every mixer. Exciting, stimulating and perfectly matched. With these characteristics, Hansgrohe mixers and showers enhance harmony in bathroom and shower. Whether it’s Elegance, Style or Classic, the Hansgrohe World of Styles reflects the standards of modern bathrooms: a perfect union of form and function, in line with your personal style and taste.
Powered by AIR, the brilliant Hansgrohe shower technology, the water is
infused with air and released in soft, voluminous drops which transform your
shower into a veritable downpour. You can easily alternate between a warm
summer rain and a powerful massage jet. Thanks to AIR, the water is distributed
more efficiently, which means that a large shower consumes the same amount of
water as a conventional model.
EcoSmart. Greater savings – greater enjoyment. Showers which save water and energy, thanks to their innovative technology.
QuickClean. Permanent anti-limescale function. A technology that has proven its worth over many years.
ComfortZone. Ease of operation. Showers that are easy to use and a pleasure to operate.
XXLPerformance. Size counts. Large-sized showers for the ultimate shower experience – without increasing water consumption.
The international environmental management standard ISO 14001 assists manufacturers with the management, control and reporting of their environmental performance. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization, the standards enable manufacturers to develop a streamlined environmental management system (EMS) to minimize the impact of their operations on the environment. Compliant companies can seek certification from accredited auditors.
WELS rated
The Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme rates the water efficiency of showers, taps, flow controllers, sanitaryware, toilets, urinals, whitegoods, clothes washers and dishwashers. By identifying the water consumption of these products, the WELS scheme enables consumers and specifiers to compare the relative efficiency of products. The criteria used for WELS ratings are explained further in Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 6400:2005 Water-efficient products – Rating and labelling.
Designed for disassembly
Design for disassembly is a manufacturing strategy that anticipates the future reuse of individual components or materials, enabling a product to be broken into its constituent parts for reuse or recycling. Design for disassembly can make recycling easier, resulting in less use of new resources, less energy consumption and less landfill. In economic terms, design for disassembly gives further value to products beyond their original life. Disassembling a structure rather than demolishing it can also reduce impact on the environment by reducing dust released during demolition, reducing land degradation and reducing transport costs of disposing of materials to landfill.
Production waste is recyclable
Manufacturing processes inevitably produce waste; environmentally responsible manufacturers ensure this waste is minimized and recyclable. Production waste can sometimes be reprocessed for reuse in the same production process. Alternatively, production waste may be reused in the manufacture of other products or materials (post-industrial recycled content).
Reduces water consumption
Products that reduce water consumption can make a valuable contribution to managing natural resources. There are several types of products that reduce water consumption – products that actively save water (water tanks, for example); products that enable the reuse of water (grey water recycling systems); and products that consume minimal water in operation (water-efficient tapware and appliances, self-cleaning glass).
Low embodied energy
Like embodied energy, embodied water is the water used to create and distribute a product or material (as distinct from water used during its operation). Reducing the amount of embodied water in a product’s manufacture and distribution can lessen its impact on the environment.
Low embodied water
Embodied energy refers to the energy consumed in producing and distributing products and materials. This spans the extraction of resources, processing and manufacturing, and distribution of the final product. Products and materials with low embodied energy generally require simpler manufacturing processes – for example, natural resources such as timber require less processing than aluminium and other metals. Specifying products with low embodied energy can reduce pollution, depletion of resources and degradation of the environment.
Reduces waste or pollution
Streamlined production processes can reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing. Environmentally responsible manufacturers focus upon reducing emissions, minimizing waste created during production, and ensuring energy-efficient operation. Waste-reducing production can also reduce costs, as manufacturers can make better use of resources.
Reduces heating or cooling load
Heating and cooling load is the amount of energy consumed to maintain a desired temperature within a building. Project design – and the materials and products employed – plays a significant role in optimizing the performance of heating and cooling systems, to reduce the energy expended on internal climate control. Elements that affect heating and cooling load include heat transferred through glass windows and doors, infiltration of outside air, and the impact of people, lighting and electronic equipment.
Reduces energy consumption
Making use of materials and products that reduce energy consumption can have a major influence on the environmental impact of a building project. Teaming passive design strategies (orientation, building shape, natural lighting and ventilation) with low-energy lighting, thermally efficient insulation and low-e glass can reduce a project’s reliance on heating and cooling systems, resulting in lower energy consumption. Likewise, use of energy-efficient appliances, alternative energy systems (solar, hydro) and building management systems can also reduce the project’s carbon footprint.
Since 1901, Hansgrohe has acquired a reputation in the sanitation sector as one of the innovative leaders in technology and design. With its fittings, showers and shower systems, Hansgrohe creates the original product... More...
