Pronteau by Abode adds a layer of luxury to the modern home
/
Abode, award-winning designer and distributor of market leading kitchen taps, sinks, bathroom taps & showering solutions add a layer of luxury to the modern home with Pronteau, a high-specification range of 3 IN 1 and 4 IN 1 steaming hot taps with exclusive safety features and quality assured.
Paul Illingworth, Design Director at Abode says, “As construction output is set to return to pre-pandemic levels in 2022, we stand ready to assist our customers with a range of designs for every project and budget. The super-luxe and prime residential markets are set to be a key part of the UK’s economic recovery going forwards and our research shows that luxury is being redefined for a new generation of home buyers wanting added convenience in the kitchen, which is stylish and sustainable. We are therefore keen to convey why our Pronteau range is the steaming hot water tap of choice for future-proof, environmentally-aware design briefs and in support of this paradigm shift, we have also launched a digital Sink & Tap Specification Manual, specially curated for the luxury development market where Pronteau sits alongside our premium range of designer sinks and taps by Abode.”
Recognised as a must-have kitchen appliance, the hot tap is now reportedly fitted in 40% of new kitchens, which is adding huge value to eco-friendly new builds and home updates with a series of financial rewards for the end user like reduced energy and water consumption.
Pronteau by Abode offers a range of WRAS approved steaming hot water taps, all regulated and approved under the Water Regulatory Advisory Scheme having undergone extensive testing to ensure these taps do not cause waste or undue consumption. What’s more, all components within the Pronteau hot water tap system are also WRAS approved; an essential accreditation that demonstrates Abode’s commitment to designing compliant products for the kitchens of tomorrow.
The Pronteau difference is founded on three core lifestyle elements: a superior style, heightened level of safety and sustainable operation. Extremely on-trend, each 3 IN 1 and 4 IN 1 tap in the collection offers:
STYLE:
9 designs: Prothia | Prostream | Prostyle | Professional | Project | Profile | Province | Propure | ProTrad
2 model types: 3 IN 1, Domestic cold, hot & filtered steaming hot water | 4 IN 1, Domestic cold, hot, filtered cold & filtered steaming hot water
2 styles: Contemporary | Traditional
7 finishes: Chrome | Brushed Nickel | Matt Black | Brushed Brass | Urban Copper | Graphite | Antique Brass
2 spout options: Swan [c spout] | Quad [r spout]
SAFETY:
Why 98°C hot? During development, the company considered every aspect of safety, both for the dispensing of the steaming hot water and the maximum temperature for stored water in the boiler. By dispensing a steaming hot water from 75°C to a maximum 98°C,Pronteau steaming hot water taps are fully compliant with Part G(3) of the UK Building Regulations. Plus, all Pronteau hot taps are insulated which means the water is hotter at the end of the spout but the outside surface remains cool to touch.
Market-leading HotKey® design and technology helps guarantee safety and prevent accidents in the home. The steaming hot water is operated by a magnetic HotKey® which is placed on the front of the tap. This fob can then be hidden out of children’s reach, placed high up on a magnetic surface like an extractor or fridge-freezer, or on the back of the tap for optimum safety. Steaming hot water can only be dispensed when the HotKey is in the operating position at the front of the tap. Hidden inside the tap body, a proximity sensor detects when the HotKey® is nearby, activating the boiler to pump steaming hot water through a separate central channel to the spout and without it, the tap becomes an ordinary 3-way mixer tap.
Paul adds “We believe our hot taps are the safest on the market and exclusive innovations like our HotKey® open up Pronteau to a new set of homeowners living with dexterity problems or arthritis, especially when compared to competitor designs, which offer a less ergonomic mode of operation.”
SUSTAINABLE:
The hot water temperature is set via the PROBOIL under sink boiler: an intelligent hot water boiler, offering fast and trouble-free delivery of steaming hot filtered water at the touch of a handle. The next generation in intelligent hot water boilers and rigorously field-tested, the PROBOIL Boiler range currently offers a 2-litre stainless steel tank, toolless installation and is an insulated model with low running costs, quick re-boil times and simple intuitive digital controls.
Abode Filter Recycle Scheme, which is 100% unique to Abode gives its customers extra peace of mind by ensuring redundant filters are recycled at the point of the product’s end of life. The company will send the used filters to its approved recycle partner who responsibly oversees the separation of each component part where the plastic is ground down and ready for reuse along with the internal resin. Currently, the Abode Filter Recycle Scheme includes both the [1] Pronteau PROBOIL2 / PROBOIL.2X Filter Cartridge PT1206 and [2] Pronteau PROBOIL3 Filter Cartridge PT1024.
