Who’s Who – Abode

Abode

Abode offers a complete home solution with a comprehensive range of kitchen taps, steaming hot and filtered cold water taps, sinks, bathroom taps and showering solutions  

As essential hardware like sinks and taps continue to evolve in the home, we are noting a range of interior trends coming to the fore, with the most prevalent being the rise of the traditional. This, along with an inherent need for 24/7 convenience has propelled the idea of instant steaming hot water as a staple in the modern home. Reportedly installed in 40% of all new kitchens, hot tap design now has the freedom to move away from more contemporary mainstream models, which feel out of place in a traditional kitchen scheme and respond to the 2000% surge in online searches for traditional products that offer modern functionality. 

As specialists in hot water taps, Abode decided to launch Pronteau ProTrad, a truly traditional hot tap design available in 3 IN 1 and 4 IN 1 models. Ideal for homeowners who want classic style with contemporary convenience, ProTrad is available in three traditional finishes – Antique Brass, Chrome, and Brushed Nickel – to ensure it will sit perfectly in a classic farmhouse or country-style kitchen and offer both style and substance. 

Steaming hot water taps are also responding to the call for designed-in sustainability and given the energy price cap in April, the trend to reduce energy in the home continues to run in parallel with water-use efficiency. Eco laundry appliances, water-saving showers and toilets, and specialist kitchen taps have become a great way for residential and commercial interiors to support a range of green rewards like reducing carbon footprints, energy consumption and even waste. 

Taps which are ergonomically designed are also improving the practical nature of a kitchen and utility room, providing even more user-advantages when prepping food, pot filling or cleaning necessities like kitchen utensils, cookware, or dirty dishes. Inspired by the growing trend for functional kitchen interiors, where cooking and entertaining in the home are experiencing a 63% surge in popularity, high performance taps with practical pull-out sprays or easy-reach single lever control are now being called on to serve people of all ages and even those with low mobility. 

Following the launch of two Hex colourways in 2021, Hex Bridge Pull Out is the latest design to join the company’s iconic range of professional style pull out kitchen taps. This brand-new bridge style mixer is 

monolithic by design showcasing the industrial nature of the Hex range, which is a precision-engineered tap collection with mid-century modern solid brass construction, distinct colourways, and deliberate use of texture. 

Designed to challenge traditional design concepts, the new Hex Bridge Pull Out is the perfect companion for kitchen schemes with larger sinks, bringing the very best elements of the Hex range to a traditional bridge mixer. Benefitting from the company’s retractable pull-out technology to enhance its functionality, Hex Bridge also features the original knurled spout collar through to the iconic hexagonal handles.
