Shower Me With Your Love...with GROHE



We cannot decide which is better...GROHE or HANSGROHE? So we made a decision to have the best of both world. Our master bathroom will be equipped with HANSGROHE, while our common bathroom will showcase GROHE :p

Here's a brief literature of the brand. GROHE is Europe’s largest and the world’s leading single-brand manufacturer and supplier of sanitary fittings, holding roughly eight percent of the world market. As a global brand for sanitary products and systems, GROHE is setting standards in quality, technology and design and its products deliver the perfect flow of water.

If you are reading my blog and wonder what's the relation between HANSGROHE and GROHE? The history seems to be like this: Hans Grohe founded the company. Later his son sold the brand to an American corporation and set up his own company again. This time round he cannot use HANSGROHE, so he used the brand GROHE instead. HANSGROHE is the original company created by Hans Grohe. His son created GROHE and made HANSGROHE specialise in showers and GROHE in mixers (or faucets). Then Klaus Grohe, current CEO of HANSGROHE took control of the company and GROHE got sold (and has been sold numerous times). HANSGROHE is still owned by the GROHE family, but Klau's side!

As for which is better, I have not had the chance to compare them. Can only give the verdict after we have moved in to our little cozy pad. Well, should you be curious about the results too...you are most welcome to come by for a "shower experience'...at a minimal COST. hehehe.

Here's what we bought from GROHE, stay tune for our next purchase...akan datang.

The new GROHE Tempesta is a super-sized 100mm diameter handshower with an extra-wide spray emulating a luxurious overhead rain shower. The Tempesta leader of this range has to be the Tempesta Trio, which enjoys the addition of a Massage spray setting. SpeedClean® nozzles prevent the build-up of limescale while GROHE CoolTouch® technology means it’s never too hot to handle. Incorporating the benefits of GROHE DreamSpray® technology and a shockproof wrap-around ring, to minimise damage to your bath or shower tray if you drop it, Tempesta offers superb showering enjoyment at an unbeatable price.
