MEDIA INVITE
What does a Daddy has in common with a provider of premium bath faucets and shower system?
If you have design your own bathroom with GROHE fittings, you most probably will be interested in an invite from GROHE to experience their latest innovation. Since I was the 'interior designer ' when we renovated the home 4 years ago, this wannabe designer simply could not refuse the invitation to gawk at what GROHE has to offer.
And I totally regret my decision thereafter.
Allow me to explain...
 |
| GROHE Live Center |
The event went well. I learned a lot about GROHE and seen its latest innovative system on display. It was all great BUT it made me want to remodel my bathroom with all the bells and whistles, thus the 'regret'. As a result, I might need to have the conversation with the wife about *ahem* minor remodelling in the bathroom soon.
In the meantime, let me to take you round a tour of The GROHE Live Center to explain my fixation on a new bathroom.

THE INNOVATION
With technology as advance as GROHE, the package will only be completed if they have the right products for its use. From what I observed, GROHE takes these technologies and innovates its product lines to make a product irresistible. It is such innovations that cause my Reno fingers to itch.
Presenting GROHE 2014 innovations
- GROHE SPA F DIGITAL DELUXE
 |
| GROHE Spa F- Digital Deluxe |
The star of 2014 innovation will no doubt be bestowed to GROHE Spa F- Digital Deluxe. This system enables the users to control a variety of lighting, audio and steam functions via their iPods.
 |
| GROHE home Spa |
For those who wants to customise the ultimate personalised shower experience, the Spa F- Digital Deluxe will be one you need to install. Personally if I have the dough, this will be part of my bathroom makeover.
 |
| GROHE SPA |
Compliment it with GROHE SPA products and you will turn your bathroom to the ultimate SPA retreat right in your own home.
 |
| Home is where My GROHE SPA is |
For a touch of class in your bathroom, GROHE introduce the Grandera line of faucets with chrome and chrome/gold outlook. This timeless and elegant range, a favourite choice for premium hotels, will be available for personal home installation.
 |
| Pure Joy of Water |
If funds are limited, you can consider the Power&Soul shower. Consisting of GROHE's newest spray pattern technology, BOKOMA Spray, this shower head will turn any bathroom into a mini spa.
With four unique single spray patterns as well as seven mix spray modes, including the soft Rain Spray, the aerated GROHE Rain spray as well as the powerful Jet Spray, this is one multifunctional shower head that ensures a different shower experience to soothe your mood and needs.
 |
| GROHE RED |
Innovations that makes life easier is always a plus in my books. With GROHE RED, it replace kettles as it provides boiling hot water straight from the faucet.
With its two step pull and twist action as a childproof feature and its GROHE CoolTouch technology, this faucet will be excellent for parents with milk drinking kids!

While GROHE RED provide instantaneous hot water GROHE Blue will provide filtered water fit for drinking. Definitely a plus for time conscious consumers.
 |
| GROHE MINTA touch |
Another futuristic innovation is the MINTA Touch. The MINTA Touch can be operated with a light tap on its faucet body with the back of the hand or wrist. This eliminates the need for a lever to operate and gives a whole new way to turn on the taps!
GROHE EVERYDAY
 |
| GROHE |
Besides these innovations, there are other GROHE products that is avaliable for daily use. From the luxurious GROHE flush plates with GROHE whisper technology to the numerous shapes and designs of faucets to suit your kitchen or washing basin needs, you would not have any problem finding a GROHE product to suit your lifestyle.
 |
| GROHE Faucet |
There are a few interesting items I had spotted that would add a touch of class in most bathrooms.
 |
| GROHE Flower RainShower |
For the kids, the GROHE Flower Rainshower would surely entice them to take more showers. From experience , anything that entice a child to take a shower is a good thing. Parents with shower-shy children can vouch for that.
 |
| GROHE Shower System |
Do you have an existing shower system to replace but at the same time to not wish to involve expensive hacking of the toilet walls?
GROHE Shower system will provide you a system to match your installation requirements and budget needs. This is give you the chance to experience a luxurious shower without the hassle of a complete renovation of the bathroom.
 |
| GROHE Verius F Digital |
If your budget allows , consider a digital option such as the GROHE Verius F Digital. It allows you to start or stop water, adjust temperature, water pressure remotely.
 |
| GROHE Velvet black |
One of the design that caught my eye is the GROHE Ondus Digital faucets and showers clad in gorgeous GROHE Velvety Black.
 |
| Black and White |
This theme is perfect for the dream bathroom I have in mind. Personally I think this theme is a looker. However it might take a little more to convince the wife of its visual impact, given its masculine undertone.
 |
| GROHE Ondus Digital |
Like I said earlier, I am so impress that I feel the urge to remodel the bathroom . It's your fault GROHE. Why do you have to make a system that gives 'Pure Freude An Wasser' ( Pure Joy of Water ) ?
 |
| GROHE F Series |
Given all that I had seen, I would probably need to plan a decent proposal to the wife when for the proposed bathroom revamp after this tour of GROHE Live Center. Not to mention a big fat wallet lying somewhere.
