Designed to bring a breath of fresh air to modern kitchens, the new GROHE Eurocube kitchen faucet with professional spray offers the very best in terms of both form and function. Here is a one-of-a-kind combination of minimalist cubic aesthetics and user-friendly technologies – just what passionate amateur chefs around the globe want for their kitchens.

The faucet plays a pivotal role in day-to-day life in the kitchen where it is arguably the most heavily used working tool. Standing centre-stage puts a premium on stylish looks, and the new Eurocube with professional spray will clearly draw applause for its eye-catching appearance. The linear silhouette of its perfectly cubic and solid body emphasises its architectural character. Smart details such as the design element integrated into the operating lever results in a refreshing lightness of form. The square and cubic theme is retained even in the face of the highly functional spray, thereby ensuring a fully cohesive look. Finished in either dazzling chrome or sophisticated matte SuperSteel, Eurocube always cuts a sharp figure.

A professional choice for ambitious amateur chefs

From cleaning fruit and vegetables to rinsing dishes, from filling large pots to washing your hands, the new Eurocube faucet is designed with the flexibility to meet all the requirements of today’s ambitious amateur chefs. The 360 degree rotating spring neck maximises the range of the professional spray which features convenient one-hand operation, simplifying numerous chores and actions when whipping up culinary delights. Two spray modes can be selected – a conventional flow of water from the mousseur and a powerful spray for efficient cleaning. Switching between the two modes is as easy as moving a finger – the toggle switch is conveniently located on the sturdy metal spray. Its slightly rounded edges make for a comfortable grip.

State-of-the-art look and feel

GROHE engineers have packed a lot of functionality into the new Eurocube faucet and its professional spray. While the 28 mm cartridge with integrated temperature limiter provides reliable protection against scalding, GROHE SilkMove^® cartridge technology gives smooth control of the water flow and temperature. The position of the cartridge within the faucet body is slightly rotated in order to prevent the lever from colliding with the kitchen wall or the tiles behind it.

A memorable look combined with unbeatable professional functions – introducing the GROHE Eurocube kitchen faucet with professional spray.

Form and function with a natural appeal

The lever, spout and body all blend into a softly formed and naturally inspired unit, resulting in a sensually curved silhouette, which instantly catches the eye. Inclined at a 7-degree angle, the lever is the focus of attention, with its oval cut-out transforming the faucet into an aesthetic sculpture while at the same time adding a touch of dynamic lightness. Its ergonomic shape makes the lever very comfortable to operate. The new 35-millimetre cartridge with integrated temperature limiter uses GROHE SilkMove^® technology to ensure silky smooth lever action and precise fine-tuning of both the flow and the temperature.

Eurostyle is the right choice for a sustainable lifestyle. Its reduced water consumption of only 5.7 litres per minute helps save the precious resources and protect the environment. The faucet line is also available with the new GROHE Zero technology for all those who only want the best for their health and well-being. Like no other technology, GROHE Zero’s advanced water conduit technology prevents lead and nickel from being released by the faucet body into the drinking water – maximum quality that lasts a faucet’s lifetime.

Diversity for modern bathrooms

Eurostyle is available in brilliant scratch-resistant GROHE StarLight^® Chrome and in shining MoonWhite with chrome details for washbasins, bathtubs, showers and bidets. The spout heights of the washbasin faucets range from S to XL to match a large number of different washbasin types. Thanks to these flexible options, their unobtrusive design blends in stylishly with any environment.

Sensual lines and a touch of luxury meet endless functionality and innovative technologies – the new Eurostyle faucet line from GROHE brings an air of effortless elegance to today’s bathroom.

Electronically controlled faucets and fittings have become the standard in most sanitary facilities at airports, arenas or motorway service stations. But what about washrooms in cafes, doctor’s surgeries or offices? Even though such locations are less heavily frequented, no compromise should be made with regard to hygiene, comfort and sustainability. GROHE offers operators of semi-public sanitary facilities a wide range of products that contribute to users’ well-being while at the same time helping save water and energy – a win-win solution for the modern washroom.

While semi-public washrooms, e.g. in offices or libraries, are not that heavily and regularly frequented, the constant change of users requires the sanitary facility to perform certain functions to ensure that it stays clean at all times and does not become a haven for potential pathogens. Capable of recognising hand movements or the presence of bodies, infrared electronic sanitary products are the most hygienic solutions thanks to their touch-free operation.

Intelligent product solutions

Installing an electronically controlled GROHE faucet makes sense also in a washroom with only one or two wash basins. It is quick and easy to install, has a brilliant, long-life surface and blends in with virtually any environment thanks to its modern design. Most importantly, however, it is full of innovative technologies. The latest exciting additions to the GROHE range include the touch-free Europlus E, Eurosmart CE and Euroeco CE faucet lines with efficient low-energy electronics. They draw their energy from the mains supply, the GROHE LongLife battery or the GROHE PowerBox, which converts the energy of the flowing water into electric energy.

The touch-free faucets, just like the latest electronic Tectron flushing technology, feature a single infrared window. The electronics behind this window facilitates a bidirectional data transfer – these sanitary fittings not only receive commands for individual programmes and settings but also deliver consumption data. This way the faucets and the flushing system provide a transparent overview of the frequency, duration and times of use. Setting the automatic cleaning mode and thermal disinfection cycles in accordance with actual requirements has never been easier and any necessary maintenance can be planned in good time. This greatly facilitates both operation and maintenance while reducing water and energy costs at the same time.

Comfortable control

GROHE infrared products are controlled and their data are transferred to the remote control. This allows many of the previously manual settings such as flushing duration, automatic flushing, thermal disinfection and other functions to be set even more flexibly and precisely. By defining the flushing processes in detail, operators prevent stagnation and the formation of hazardous germs and unpleasant odours.

Hygienic, intelligent, sustainable and comfortable – four strong arguments to install GROHE infrared electronics also in semi-public sanitary facilities.

The sanitary industry is populated by technological pioneers and brims with creative ideas. There is hardly a faucet, shower or WC which has not been optimised and refined time and again over the years. More often than not, it is the small elements and technologies, hidden deep inside the products that make the big difference. Take the cartridge for example. It is at the heart of every faucet and a masterpiece of modern engineering. GROHE is one of only a few manufacturers worldwide to produce all the cartridges for its faucets internally, which has earned the company its reputation as an international innovation leader. But what is the secret behind GROHE cartridges and what are their most important features?

Aerospace-proven materials

GROHE high-tech cartridges have a special feature that is shared by no other cartridge: they offer the unparalleled GROHE SilkMove^® experience of silky lever action and precise fine-tuning of the water flow and temperature. This unique user comfort is the result of the interaction between more than ten different high-grade components in each cartridge. The most important element are two discs, made from an aerospace-proven ceramic alloy, that glide across each other with great precision. A special lubricant with Teflon technology is applied to their mirror-smooth surfaces during production. Micro pores in the ceramic alloy serve as a lubricant reservoir to ensure that the discs retain their smoothness throughout the life of the faucet.

So how does the cartridge work inside the faucet? The operating lever is connected to the ceramic discs via a solid connecting element, which transmits its movement to the control element. Lifting the lever clears the way for the water, while the swivelling movement changes the relative amounts of hot and cold water. Even after many years of use, the low amount of force required to operate the lever remains the same – a great advantage that makes GROHE faucets stand out from the rest.

Unique comparative test of international manufacturers

This long-lasting functionality has also been confirmed by Germany’s TÜV SÜD, whose experts have tested the mechanical resilience of the faucets from nine renowned international manufacturers in a large-scale comparative test. This endurance test simulated 20 years of use and maximum strain. Among the aspects tested were the operating forces in the movement of the lever, the breakaway torque after an extended rest period, the operating precision and the tightness. Thanks to the excellent GROHE SilkMove^® technology, GROHE came out as the clear winner.

The cartridge competence centre

Hemer is the home of the GROHE cartridges. This is where the company produces different cartridge variants in sizes of 28, 35, 46 and 56 millimetres for its global faucet production. Different sizes are used depending on the faucet diameter and the draw-off point, as well as the required flow properties. The new 28 millimetre cartridge, for instance, can be found inside the S-size Essence faucet launched this year, which is the most slender faucet introduced by GROHE to date. Featuring a spout height of 111 millimetres and a very small operating lever, it offers great operating comfort and perfect proportions.

The GROHE plant in Hemer can produce up to 5.4 million 46 millimetre cartridges and 4.8 million 35 millimetre cartridges per year. All cartridges manufactured in Hemer are made from high-quality precision components. The individual components are assembled on two production lines operated by three workers per shift. All parts must pass a 100 percent pressure test of 16 bar and are precisely calibrated. Even the smallest deviations would affect the world-class performance of the cartridges.

For over 140 years, GROHE has been influenced by their “Masters of Technology” – the inventors, developers and manufacturers whose creative DNA has been instilled in the company. The great enthusiasm for innovative technologies, which is also shared by today’s GROHE employees, is felt by customers day in and day out, year in and year out, whenever they control the water flow of their faucet with the same unfailingly high comfort and precision. This unique experience comes courtesy of GROHE cartridges and GROHE SilkMove^® technology.

No two GROHE Essence bathrooms look the same, since Essence adapts so easily to different bathroom styles and configurations. Its cylindrical shapes make Essence a classic of design culture – wherever it is installed. Its extensive choice in sizes and types allows personalising a bathroom from the washbasin to the shower to the bathtub.

GROHE has just opened a new chapter in this enduring success story by launching a new S-size version. In the modern, slimmer reinterpretation of the classic Essence faucet, the differently sized cylinders flow into each other organically. The result is a clear and stylish design that is as perfect for a minimalist decor as it is for a sophisticated interior design style or a nostalgic ambiance.

The spout of the new Essence bends down towards the washbasin, making it reminiscent of the three larger product variants. Other strong points of this innovative spout include a 150 degree swivel range and an adjustable GROHE AquaGuide mousseur to deliver water exactly where it is needed. Whatever the shape of the washbasin, the Essence line offers the right faucet to match it perfectly.

A wide range of variants

The Essence universe offers the right faucet to fit any specific requirement. The products are suitable for combination with Grohtherm 3000 Cosmopolitan thermostats as well as showers and shower systems from the GROHE Rainshower^® Cosmopolitan and Euphoria Cosmopolitan series. To add even more style to the bathroom, GROHE additionally offers the Essential range of accessories comprising everything from soap dispensers and mouthwash glasses to towel holders, bathrobe hooks and bathtub handles.
