NEW YORK—GROHE introduces its Retro-Fit Shower System, which transforms an existing showerhead installation with concealed pressure balance valve into a luxurious shower system without breaking the wall, all in under an hour.
The original Retro-Fit Shower System launched in 2012 and was well received by designers, the professional plumbing community and consumers alike. Today, the collection has expanded to include three new models with new showerhead, hand shower and shower arm options for users to choose from when selecting their Retro-Fit Shower System.
“By expanding the Retro-Fit collection, we are offering even more ways to customize and transform people’s shower experience,” says Cheryl Dixon, Head of Brand Trade and Marketing for GROHE.
Multiple Spray Setting Choices
A new 25-inch rail model with a standard shower arm is offered with New Tempesta Cosmopolitan showerheads and hand showers. Compatible with shower and tub combinations, this system is available in the GROHE Starlight Chrome finish. “New Tempesta Cosmopolitan provides users with multiple spray setting choices for an invigorating shower experience,” notes Dixon.
New Tempesta Cosmopolitan is also now offered with a new 18-inch shower only application, complete with a standard shower arm. “This new model was designed with a shorter rail to meet the needs of consumers who may have a free-standing shower area,” Dixon advises. The version is also available in the GROHE Starlight Chrome finish.
A second 18-inch shower only model, this one with a Rainshower arm, rounds out the newly expanded options. This model is coupled with Euphoria showerhead and hand shower, which offer a wider spray, and is available in GROHE Starlight Chrome finish.
Designed for People’s Preferences, Shower Needs
The added benefit of a hand shower, which has always been standard for GROHE Retro-Fit systems, is a luxury as well as a practical solution when bathing a small child, showering without wetting hair, giving pets a bath and washing around bandaged areas. Users have the option to utilize the hand shower and showerhead separately in addition to combined functionality. “Usability is key to our design,” Dixon says. “These features cater to people’s personal preferences and shower needs. With the latest Retro-Fit models being added to the line, there are more options for everyone.”
The new models also have the same benefits as the original Retro-Fit systems, which all feature a shower arm that can either be swiveled 45 degrees or fixed. All Retro-Fit systems also come complete with an adjustable sliding bar to allow for comfortable positioning of the hand shower, to be utilized during seated showering or for individual height variance. An optional 6-inch extension is also available to raise the height of the showerhead, ideal for situations where the shower outlet is positioned too low.
GROHE EcoJoy technology reduces water consumption by up to 50 percent without compromising performance, and comes standard with Retro-Fit. All models also come complete with other GROHE technologies, such as GROHE DreamSpray, which distributes water evenly to all nozzles on the showerhead and GROHE SpeedClean anti-lime system.
