the future of water GROHE, a leading global brand for complete bathroom solutions and kitchen fittings has outperformed the sanitary industry’s market growth in the EMENA region in 2019 and is set to continue its growth momentum in 2020. The integration of the GROHE manufacturing, technology
and commercial assets into parent company LIXIL whilst simultaneously benefiting from the company’s diversity and scale in technology and resources is set to ensure a steadfast growth in the EMENA region. At last year’s ISH, the leading trade fair for the bathroom and sanitaryware industry, GROHE showcased its impressive foundation for success with a record number of 500+ product innovations, such as its first 3D metal-printed taps Atrio Icon 3D and Allure Brilliant Icon 3D. The GROHE in-house 3D-technology also marked the latest landmark addition to LIXIL’s progressive, future-oriented technology and manufacturing footprint, which is continuously expanding and evolving. Alongside the introduction of the 3D metal-printing technology to Hemer, Germany, there has also been a significant recent investment in the Physical Vapour Deposition process at the global competence centre for showers and shower systems in Lahr, Germany. The brand can now efficiently support one of the leading driving forces in consumer behaviour by providing colour finishes across all touchpoints in the bathroom. Synergies from technology and innovation know-how propel GROHE Increasingly stronger ties across LIXIL create vast synergy potentials, further propelling last year’s momentum for GROHE in 2020. “We enjoy a tremendous know-how, technology and innovation power as part of LIXIL. These synergy potentials deliver constant improvements to our already strong technology infrastructure across our plants. 0208 283 2840

from Neoperl, have been designed to ensure a consistent flow in both high and low pressure environments. They can be fitted in the spout of new washbasin, bath and kitchen taps and in many cases also retrofitted to improve performance. Combined with a flow regulator, these latest Dual Core Aerators control the flow of water, reduce plumbing noise and save water and therefore energy. It works by using two dynamic control rings (O-rings) within the flow regulator, enabling high performance at both low and high pressure, particularly beneficial for the UK market. At low pressure it encourages a high flow rate due to a larger bypass section and at high pressure the o-rings are pressed into the gaps between the teeth of the core, thus reducing the size of the opening for the water leading to pressure independent flow rates.
All standard sizes are available in the new PCA Dual Core Aerator plus 1.2gpm*, 1.5pgm and 2.1gpm, with further less popular specifications currently in preparation for launch later this year. 01684564869

for Merchants
Whether it’s in residential or commercial buildings, thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs) are now a requisite for properties of all types and for any hot water outlets undergoing a ‘change of use’ by law. The valve’s key purpose is to prevent end users from scalding and eliminate bacteria growth by allowing hot water systems to run at higher temperatures. For merchants to stake their claim in this lucrative market, they will need quality, well- designed valves to meet installers’ needs. The domestic market is a particularly challenging one, as space is often at a premium in new

All loose and friable material was removed, and then cleaned manually to guarantee a good bonding surface for the Mape-Antique Strutturale NHL to adhere to. A number of Mapenet EM Connector L20 were inserted into holes drilled into the masonry, and resin anchored with Fast
build homes. Installing TMVs in confined areas such as underneath baths, basins and showers is often an arduous, time-consuming task. Here, the Easifit® TMV from Reliance Valves - an RWC brand, solves this challenge perfectly. Ultra-compact and lightweight, the Easifit TMV’s small footprint lends itself to being fitted in much tighter spaces. Its flat faced union connections make any future maintenance much simpler and more efficient. Designed to run at exceptionally low flow rates, our world leading WRAS approved Easifit TMV reduces the risk of scalding and eliminates bacteria growth by enabling hot water systems to run at higher temperatures.
