Scandi-style 4 IN 1 instant hot water taps by Abode P
ronteau Scandi by Abode is the UK’s first collection of Scandinavian-style instant hot water taps designed with 4 IN 1 functionality, real FSC® Approved Beechwood lever handles (E: single lever & X: dual lever), and three contemporary finishes including Matt White, Matt Black and Scandi Grey.
Supplied with the company’s premium water optimisation filter, Pronteau Scandi offers a capacity of 1500L with bypass function, allowing you to set the filter to match the hardness of water in your area. Designed with cool touch technology within the spout and 180° rotation, Pronteau Scandi offers aerated Hot & Cold flow
with optional 5l/m flow limitation to minimise sink splash back and reduce water consumption. Both models also feature a cold start valve to decrease the home’s energy waste and Laminar steaming hot water flow aerator, which delivers instant steaming hot water at a safe 2l/m for optimal cup filling.
Pronteau Scandi-E is available with Patented
HotKey® Sensor Technology, one of the safest ways to access or deny access to instant steaming hot water. Controlled via a discreet HotKey® fob a proximity sensor hidden inside the tap detects when the HotKey® is near, activating the boiler to pump steaming hot water through a separate central channel to the spout. Without it,
the tap is an ordinary 3-way mixer. Pronteau Scandi-X features a 2-stage safety handle (left), where users push down and pull forwards. To access the filtered water, they simply push the lever handle backward.
For the first time, UK customers can experience filtered cold and steaming hot water from a tap, which is designed in the same style as their Scandi home décor.

Strong Showroom Offering from QETTLE B
ritish boiling water tap brand QETTLE’s showroom offering has never been stronger. With rapidly expanding representation across discerning kitchen designers, studios and showrooms, 2024 saw the Norfolk-based designer and manufacturer add coloured black and gold finishes to its best-selling QETTLE Original range of 4 in 1, 100°C boiling water taps, and launch the QETTLE Mixer range of
UK- engineered, complementary standard hot/cold mixer taps.
Meanwhile, accessories such as the QETTLE blender – a clever, compact component that allows boiling water tap functionality where there is no mains hot water, very low water pressure or a long pipework run, plus the stand- alone QETTLE Chiller, have been well received by designers and showrooms.
QETTLE’s fresh approach, and comprehensive support for kitchen designers and showrooms
with product displays, training, marketing and factory visits has also met with an enthusiastic response. Plus, there’s plenty in the product design pipeline for 2025 – watch this space! For further information about QETTLE’s showroom packages, call, email or visit the website.
