Avalegra from Hansgrohe: New paths for water

With Avalegra AquaUnit from Hansgrohe, the washbasin and faucet
merge to form an impressive unit. However, the real innovation is not the
combination of two product worlds, but the way in which Avalegra handles the
element of water: on the one hand, the water flows out of the faucet in the
classic way - from top to bottom. On the other hand, the water can also take
the opposite route - bubbling up from the bottom.
With the aim of making daily routines at the washbasin as
refreshing and enjoyable as possible, Avalegra is breaking new ground. In
addition to a curved, slim and swivelling spout, Avalegra has an integrated
shower spray. This makes it possible to experience water at the washbasin in a
completely innovative way: the water comes out of the centre of the control
element in a parabolic shape, as if from a bubbling spring. The integrated
pressure limiter reduces water consumption to five litres per minute at the
shower, ensuring a fine spray.

All the operating elements of the Avalegra AquaUnit are
combined in a single functional unit. The integrated spray disk takes center
stage. The handles on the right control the water volume, spray type and
temperature. Favorite temperatures are simply set for the next use. The surface
of the control unit is available in five FinishPlus colors: Chrome, Matt Black,
Brushed Black Chrome, Brushed Bronze and Polished Gold Optic.
The color contrast between the basin and the control unit is
deliberate. The matt white washbasin made of Solid Surface material is durable,
scratch-resistant and easy to clean. The non-porous and homogeneous surface
prevents deposits and is easy to clean. lf a scratch does occur, it can simply
be polished away.
Although Avalegra is an absolute novelty, the installation
is not any different: thanks to pre-assembled components, installation is just
as quick and easy as with any other washbasin with faucet. With its design
language, the AquaUnit harmonizes with other hansgrohe innovations such as the
Raindance Alive shower product line or the furniture from the Xevolos series.
