Sarah Evans, Head Of Channel Marketing, Tells Us How Hansgrohe UK’s New Rainfinity Showers Will Transform Your Showering Experience At Home

Hansgrohe has introduced a family of showers called Rainfinity, can you tell us what makes them stand out from the rest? 

This new statement collection from Hansgrohe has won numerous awards including the Red Dot Award 2019. Thanks to its overall composition of innovative technology, stylish design and superior quality, Rainfinity opens up a new dimension of showering.

Combining superior engineering, innovative technology and contemporary finishes, Rainfinity represents a new benchmark in modern shower design. Due to its large circular shower head and adaptable wall connection, Rainfinity offers the flexibility to envelope the entire body in water, or alternatively protect the head and face from spray by adjusting the shower head. The innovative wall connection allows the shower head to be tilted between 10 and 30 degrees and eliminates the need for a traditional shower arm.

The shower experience is further enhanced by Rainfinity’s slightly concave spray surface and the diffused arrangement of the jet disc holes. This combination ensures that the spray isn’t limited to the head and shoulders, but softly covers the body with water. The unique shower head design is available in both an elegant matte white and classic chrome finish with graphite spray discs.

Are your products eco-friendly?

Balancing the demand for a luxurious showering experience with the need to reduce water usage is a growing concern for consumers. For this reason, innovation is coming from the manufacturers that can satisfy both requirements through a high-performance shower that don’t use gallons of water per minute. We’re also seeing increased demand for multi-functional overhead showers that offer multiple showering experiences in one sleek unit.

Our EcoSmart technology lowers water consumption in showers & taps by up to 60 percent compared to conventional products, without compromising on design or experience. And where EcoSmart has led the way, further innovations have followed. Hansgrohe’s innovative PowderRain spray is testament to how intelligent engineering can make all the difference. Our micro-sized droplet jet technology envelopes the body in thousands of beads of aerated water for a superior showering experience.

Crucially, PowderRain can help reduce water and energy usage by up to 20 percent!

In terms of bathroom design, what exciting new trends are on the horizon for wellness enthusiasts?

The bourgeoning wellness trend will continue to influence bathroom design as we increasingly look to water for its regenerative qualities. Pioneering developments in shower design will serve a fundamental purpose – to enhance user experience and create new ways for homeowners to experience water in the bathroom. Hansgrohe’s newest innovation, Rainfinity, represents a new benchmark in contemporary shower design.

Its unique circular shower head envelops the entire body from head to toe in water and features three spray modes that enable you to switch effortlessly between different experiences.
