This month, Design Manager at Abode, Paul Illingworth looks at the rise in demand for stylish, sustainable, and safe kitchen solutions and how this is now a key part of the super luxe, interior design market.
Adding a layer of luxury to the modern home, our specialist Pronteau range offers end users with a high-specification range of 3 IN 1 and 4 IN 1 steaming hot taps with exclusive safety features and quality assured. Designed to be future proof, Pronteau caters to environmentally aware design briefs that require a superior style, heightened level of safety and sustainable operation.
We are therefore thrilled to offer our customers even more choice when installing specialist hot water taps in new builds and property developments, as demand grows for multifunctional taps that promote the perfect balance of health and wellbeing met with convenient luxury. Dispensing domestic cold, hot filtered cold and filtered steaming hot water from one source, our Propure 4 IN 1 is both stylish and safe, and as the sink develops into a key touchpoint for cooking, cleaning and refreshment in the hybrid kitchen space, it was a natural progression for us to secure the KIWA mark of quality and integrity
Regulation 4 of Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 sets the standard for design, installation and maintenance of water fittings, and Pronteau Propure is now KIWA approved having undergone this strict, single application procedure for certification of functional and process aspects of products in contact with drinking water.
KIWA plays a leading role across the water industry by certifying the quality and safety of products, helping business and consumers to choose products which meet all regulations and industry standards. What’s more, all components within the Pronteau hot water tap system are also WRAS approved; an essential accreditation that demonstrates Abode’s commitment to designing compliant products for the kitchens of tomorrow. Furthermore, dispensing steaming hot water from 75°C to a maximum 98°C, ensures Pronteau taps are fully compliant with Part G(3) of the UK Building Regulations.
The UK population is expected to grow by another 6 million by 2043, and we’re keenly aware of our responsibility to protect the environment and save precious resources such as energy and water. Gaining KIWA approval is testament to our leadership in developing 4 IN 1 taps such as Propure, which are steaming, stylish and safe. We invest heavily in research and product development to maintain our high standards in premium water management so that our customers can realise water the way they want it.
The Pronteau difference is founded on three core lifestyle elements: a superior style, universal safety and ergonomic operation. The versatile Propure 4 IN 1 offers domestic cold, hot, filtered cold & filtered steaming hot water, two spout options in either Swan [c spout] or the pictured Quad [r spout], as well as five finishes: Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Matt Black, Brushed Brass and Urban Copper.
The Pronteau Propure is also part of the Abode Filter Recycle Scheme, which is 100% unique to our brand and business in the industry. This scheme offers customers extra peace of mind by ensuring redundant filters are recycled at the point of the product’s end of life. We will send the used filters to our approved recycle partner who responsibly oversees the separation of each component part where the plastic is ground down and ready for reuse along with the internal resin.
Our exclusive Filter Recycle Scheme adds yet another major benefit to the Pronteau list, as now even the filter inside the boiler is suitable for recycling at the end of its life! End users can simply send the expired filter back to Abode, free of charge via Royal Mail, ensuring a no cost and straight-forward solution for consumers, and retailers alike.
There really are no limits to Abode when it comes to delivering best-in-class drinking water solutions.
