The interior design community continues to seek out the latest innovations for the contemporary home and lifestyle, where demand for convenient luxury in the kitchen that is safe and climate friendly, continues to rise. By thinking more about the sustainable benefits some products have, architects and designers are now specifying evergreen solutions to further satisfy their clients, saving them time, money and energy.
The stand-out trend in the premium kitchen market continues to hero high performance product designs such as the 4-in-1 hot water tap which facilitates hot, cold, boiling, and filtered water from one source. Dubbed the ‘fastest growing kitchen appliance’ in the UK right now, our customers are reporting to include at least one in almost every kitchen they design to meet demand and so we have expanded our Pronteau range of steaming hot taps to include our latest series, Pronteau HotKey® that debuts the new PROBOIL.4E ultra-compact boiler and is controlled by our patented HotKey® sensor technology for optimum safety.
STEAMING – All products in the Pronteau HotKey® range offer 4 functions: 75-98° instant filtered steaming hot water, refreshing filtered cold water and everyday hot and cold water. Why 98°C hot? During development, Abode considered every aspect of safety, both for the dispensing of steaming hot water and the maximum temperature for stored water in the boiler. By dispensing steaming hot water from 75°C to a maximum 98°C, Pronteau steaming hot water taps are fully compliant with Part G(3) of the UK Building Regulations. Plus, all Pronteau steaming hot water taps are insulated which means the water is hot at the end of the spout, but the outside surface remains cool to the touch.
STYLISH – The new range of Pronteau HotKey® taps offer an array of stylish, contemporary designs including swan and quad spout monoblocs in a selection of on-trend finishes, and unique 3-part designs. Opting for a 4 IN 1 hot water tap in a 3-part design will add the optimum level of luxury in any style of kitchen. There are 5 beautiful finishes available across the range including Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Matt Black, Antique Brass and Brushed Brass.
SAFE – The patented Pronteau HotKey® technology could just be the safest way to dispense steaming hot water. Without the HotKey® the steaming hot water cannot be activated, hide it away or up high from little ones and the tap will only perform as a 3-way mixer tap. As well as this safety benefit, this tap is also great for anyone with dexterity difficulties or conditions such as arthritis, so users can avoid pushing down, turning and sliding the handle in order to trigger the water flow.
The discreet HotKey® fob can be hidden out of children’s reach, placed high up on a magnetic surface like an extractor or fridge-freezer, or on the back of the tap for optimum safety. Hidden inside the tap body, a proximity sensor detects when the HotKey® is nearby, activating the boiler to pump steaming hot water through a separate central channel to the spout and without it, the tap becomes an ordinary 3-way mixer.
NEW & EXCLUSIVE – The PROBOIL.4E boiler has been designed exclusively for the new Pronteau 4 IN 1 HotKey® range by Abode. Packed with a series of features, this new boiler includes our biggest capacity yet at 4L, delivering up to 100 cups per hour! Its ultra-compact size is also a huge advantage for designers, able to fit within a standard Belfast or Butler sink base unit for the height of convenience. Other new additions include a practical filter life indicator display for easy maintenance, colour coded push fit connectors for a quick, toolless install and intuitive digital display with precise temperature control.
All Pronteau HotKey® systems are supplied with our premium water optimisation filter to give you the best protection, flexibility and increased capacity. Offering a capacity of 1500L and a bypass function, users can set the filter to match the hardness of your water to ensure optimum performance and longevity. This filter offers supreme water filtration and scale control and is part of the free of charge Abode filter recycle scheme, to provide a no cost and straight-forward solution for both the property market and environment.
Each Pronteau HotKey® model is supplied with two 4 IN 1 HotKey® fobs, and if a replacement is required, then spares can be ordered direct from Abode, and the same applies to the Pronteau PROBOIL4E Filter Cartridge, lasting up to 6-12 months dependent on water hardness and usage.
We are big believers in supporting excellence in kitchen design, which is why we have an expert team of Pronteau specialists, as well as a Pronteau Install Fleet, Technical Support hotlines and dedicated website www.pronteau.co.uk, so your project is supported at every stage of the process.
