Phoenix has reinvigorated its popular Gloss collection, with the launch of Gloss MKII.

The Gloss MKII collection refines the proportions of understated curves to create mixers that have an ease of use, while incorporating contemporary design trends.  As function and form have been a focus for the Phoenix in-house design team, so too have energy and water-saving tapware advances.

Phoenix Creative Design Manager, John Hoogendoorn and his team have again presented the market with a collection that satisfies what consumers are looking for in their tapware.  “Gloss MKII represents a major update for the Gloss range and is infused with our sophisticated design DNA. The purposeful lines and graceful surfacing cloak what is, in essence, a highly technical product,” John reflects. “These refined proportions ensure Gloss MKII will remain timeless for decades to come.”

The Gloss MKII Vessel and Basin Mixers employ Cold Start Technology via energy-saving cartridge technology which allows only cold water to be delivered when the tap is operated from the traditional mid-lever position.  Combined with a 6-star WELS rating for the Basin and Vessel Mixers, Gloss MKII saves both energy and water.

Phoenix Tapware

The Gloss MKII collection is SwitchMix® compatible.  SwitchMix® allows the consumer to easily select a new design or finish in the future without having to remove or damage tiles, as all the changes are made front-of-wall. The home owner can choose Gloss MKII with confidence, knowing that if they change their mind about the finish  or indeed, the style, they can easily make the change to one of Phoenix’s other SwitchMix® compatible designs or finishes in the future.

The Gloss MKII collection is available in five of Phoenix’s finishes – Chrome, Matte Black, Brushed Nickel, Brushed Gold and Brushed Carbon – and consists of a Basin Mixer, Vessel Mixer and Sink Mixer, a Shower/Wall Mixer, a Wall Basin/Bath Mixer Set and a Wall Basin/Bath Outlet.  The collection is complemented beautifully by the existing Gloss collection of accessories available in the same range of colour finishes as Gloss MKII, allowing the home owner to create a cohesive feel in their bathrooms.

With a soft square line design and modern aesthetic, the Gloss MKII collection pairs perfectly with many of our shower collections, such as NX Quil and NX Orli, Lexi, Nuage and Vivid Slimline.

Gloss MKII is currently in stock at the Phoenix warehouse and available for delivery on short lead time for the convenience of specifiers, the building and plumbing trade, and homeowners.

The Cromford Collection | New release by Phoenix Tapware https://www.completehome.com.au/bathrooms/the-cromford-collection-new-release-by-phoenix-tapware.html Tue, 14 Mar 2023 00:50:41 +0000 https://www.completehome.com.au/?p=73073 Phoenix has released an exciting, new collection – Cromford – encompassing a unique product style that characterises history refined by contemporary design.

Phoenix has released an exciting, new collection – Cromford – encompassing a unique product style that characterises history refined by contemporary design.

Equally placed in a modern farmhouse setting as it is in an industrial warehouse, the Cromford collection pays homage to the hard-working innovations of the past. The collection name itself is appropriated from the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in 18th-century Great Britain. The Phoenix in-house design team has thoughtfully crafted a collection of tapware, showers and accessories that reflect modern-day sensibilities. Pared back and uncomplicated in design, with a nod to history in their finer detail.

Cromford is all about reserved elegance
Alexander Tomlinson, Design Engineer at Phoenix, created the distinctive shape of this collection.  “Cromford is all about reserved elegance. It’s subtle and refined but the overall aesthetic hints back to a time when design was extravagant.”

Alex explains where his inspiration from Cromford was derived. “The range was inspired by an old plumbing catalogue I found dating back to the late 1800s. It was filled with hand-drawn sketches of cast iron valves and pipe fittings that featured decorative details. Combining that exquisite fine detailing with precise, uninterrupted geometric forms brought about a unique design language for the range.”

Phoenix Tapware New collection

Along with this stand-out design aesthetic, Phoenix has announced that Cromford is pioneering their drive toward Lead Free tapware.  New regulations in Australia mean that all products that are intended for use as an outlet for drinking water, namely tapware and mixers, will transition to Lead Free brass content by September 2025, in the interests of public health. This means that all Mixers, Diverters and Wall Top Assemblies in the Cromford collection conform with the “Lead Free” regulation.

The Cromford collection is SwitchMix® compatible. SwitchMix® allows the consumer to easily select a new design or finish in the future without having to remove or damage tiles, as all the changes are made front-of-wall. The home owner can choose Cromford with confidence, knowing that if they change their mind about the finish or indeed, the style, they can easily make the change to one of Phoenix’s other SwitchMix® compatible designs or finishes in the future.

The Cromford Collection

Phoenix Interim CEO and Sales Director, Michael Phelan, summarises the launch of Cromford. “Cromford has been very well received in preliminary showcases to the market. The feedback is positive because as well as being a unique design, it offers solutions as Cromford has a full range of products – Mixers, Shower and Accessories – in four of our Contemporary Finishes – Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black and Brushed Gold.” Michael goes on to highlight, “The distinct advantage that we have in launching Cromford is that we have all stock available for immediate supply”.

Gold tapware is everywhere right now. Recent TV renovation shows, such as The Block, featured gold tapware, showers and accessories prominently and the demand for this finish is hitting new heights.

There is a plethora of gold hues currently on the market. Where do you start in choosing the finish that is right for your project? And how do you pair gold with your other bathroom fittings and fixtures?

The warm tone of the Phoenix Brushed Gold finish is characterised by the muted lines across its surface and its soft metallic hue. This softness means that this is the type of gold that will complement rather than dominate your room. It will make a statement that is refined and sophisticated, not bold and brash.

Brushed Gold is a modern spin on a traditional gold tapware finish. So, it works beautifully in design styles where you may want to reference the past in a modern, minimal design aesthetic. It can be paired with earthen, natural tones found in timber, terracotta and stone. And works equally well with colour, especially shades of pink from nude to blush.

Phoenix understands the frustrations that homeowners, interior designers and architects face when they specify a gold finish for bathroom fixtures and fittings, only to find that they cannot source all the tapware, showers and accessories in that particular finish.

The Phoenix Vivid Slimline collection, a perennial favourite with its slimline lever handles, will suit any modern interior, and presents the Phoenix Brushed Gold finish across tapware, showers and accessories. This highlights the cohesion that can be achieved when the same Brushed Gold finish is shared across not only tapware and mixers but also shower roses and accessories such as single towel rails, soap dishes, robe hooks and toilet roll holders.

Not only is Brushed Gold in the spotlight in bathrooms, but it is also making a star appearance in kitchens. Kitchen taps have long been the domain of finishes such as chrome or more recently, black. Now, Brushed Gold adds a touch of glamour, with Kitchen Sink Mixers being the jewel in the crown of an island bench or a luxe butler’s pantry.

Not only will these Brushed Gold products look amazing, but they will also have the additional benefit of the longevity and durability of the extensive Phoenix finish warranty.

With a new season comes new products, and Phoenix Tapware’s latest extensions to the Axia and Vivid Slimline Plus collections are sure to turn heads

The highly regarded Axia collection brings a fresh take on modern minimalism. This premium designer range was two years in the making and upon its release earlier this year was awarded a Red Dot award and Red Dot Best of the Best. The ultra-thin design offers crisp detailing and a strong presence, with a modern twist on tradition. The beautifully crafted Axia bathroom tapware has added a Wall Basin / Bath Curved Outlet Hostess Set 180mm to its range, bringing the collection’s total to eight products in three finishes of chrome, matt black and brushed nickel.

Vivid Slimline Plus Wall Basin / Bath Hostess Set 180mm Outlet above basin

Say hello to the latest product to join Phoenix Tapware’s ever-popular Vivid Slimline Plus collection: the Vivid Slimline Plus Wall Basin / Bath Hostess Set 180mm Outlet. Taking inspiration from Phoenix Tapware’s Vivid Slimline family, the Vivid Slimline Plus collection offers a subtle variation to provide an extra layer to your bathroom, kitchen or laundry space. Already an elegant, low profile tapware design, the Vivid Slimline Plus range features a beautiful teardrop shape on the side of each handle, which transforms into the crosshair detailing as part of the handle. The Vivid Slimline Plus range is a sophisticated collection for both retrofitted and new environments, designed with the idea of ‘form follows function’ in mind.

You probably don’t spend much time thinking about food waste, luckily the team at InSinkErator does.

In our own backyard, over 5.3 million tonnes of food is wasted each year with around a third of the average household bin ending up as wasted food. Food waste sitting in landfill and kerbside produces methane, a dangerous greenhouse gas that is a known contributor to climate change. In fact, methane is 21 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide.

So how can InSinkErator help?

InSinkErator gives you the freedom to dispose of unsightly food waste quickly and effectively in an environmentally responsible manner. Ground food scraps are sent via household plumbing to the sewerage system instead of to landfill which is not an environmentally responsible solution. At capable treatment plants, methane from ground food waste can be captured and recycled into renewable energy instead of ending up in landfill.

There are two Evolution models in the range. The InSinkErator Evolution 200 is the premium model. It’s many features allow it to be the quietest and most powerful model on the market. It boasts a generous 1180ml capacity stainless-steel grinding chamber which can grind virtually any kind of food.

Installing an InSinkErator food waste disposer in your home offers an environmentally friendly solution for you and your family.

Dripping with style, the Multitap™ 3N1 delivers a new convenience to your space.

As part of a total solution for your modern kitchen, the MultiTap offers the choice of instant filtered steaming hot water and hot and cold water that you would expect from a standard kitchen tap. Three functions from the one tap.

Each Multitap 3N1 model features a hot water safety locking mechanism. It comes in three finishes – Chrome, Matte Black and Brushed and is supported by the 2.5L Neotank which allows you to set your desired temperature. This nifty boiler tank allows you to heat when needed and save energy when not in use.

The Multitap 3N1 has endless applications that will save you copious amounts of time in the kitchen. Make tea and coffee with the flick of a lever and blanch vegetables in no time. Almost instantly prepare pasta and noodles and clean up quicker than ever before with instant hot water – on tap.

Perfect for any kitchen design, tap into style, functionality and save energy with the Multitap 3N1.

Your bathroom shouldn’t just be a place of function — it should also be a place of beauty. We love this contemporary room with those stylish finishing touches.

Modern and minimalist, this bathroom boasts light, white tiles and cabinetry that make the footprint of the room feel larger than it actually is. This also allows the tapware to shine. Gunmetal Faucet Strommen tapware is used as a hero feature, with a medium-grey finish and satin-velvet look with strong lustre. The appearance of this tapware changes from bright grey to dark grey depending on how the light falls on the finish, offering an interesting dynamic. Quality materials ensure this finish won’t change tone over time. The electroplated gunmetal finish is available on nearly the entire range of Faucet Strommen products, allowing you to coordinate all the tapware in your home. Of course, as with all Faucet Strommen products, it comes with a five-year warranty against peeling and flaking.

Designer Rebecca Jansma for Space Grace & Style

EXPERT TIP
Coordinate tapware throughout your home to add a sense of cohesion.

WE LOVE
The gunmetal finish on the Faucet Strommen Pegasi collection — what a great way to feature this elegant tapware.

The finishing touches truly make a room. Create a space that’s as unique as you are with a mixer tap, shower mixer or outlet from the Zimi Collection. This unique range features 27 colour and finishing combinations, allowing you to select tapware that truly suits your style and space.

Choose from neutrals, pastel colours and complementary metallics to achieve a look that is in vogue, or pay homage to a more traditional aesthetic. Select your handle colour from the range that includes chrome, brushed nickel, matt black, matt white, cool grey, oatmeal, blush pink, sage green and powder blue, then select a fixture base finished in either chrome, brushed nickel or matt black.
This exercise in personalisation is made even easier thanks to the unique design of the interchangeable handles. You do not need a plumber for this process, meaning you have the possibility of customisation at an affordable price point.
All this is available in the iconic Zimi design, with its sophisticated flat handle and slender outlet, a cocktail of elegance and refinement that adds panache to any space.
