Savor Pure Innovation

If you’re not concerned about your water, you should be.

Through leading-edge technology, ROHL has changed the way designers and consumers think about filtered water. Only ROHL has a fully integrated water filtration system. It is the only filtration system of its kind. Learn more about how ROHL Perrin & Rowe® Filtration with Triflow® Technology works by clicking here.

Brass is Back

Once replaced by more popular finish choices like Polished Chrome and Satin Nickel, Brass is making a comeback in the world of finish trends. Polished, Rubbed and even Shiny Brass finishes are finding their way onto design boards and into newly remodeled kitchens and baths.

The renewed interest in this trend is highlighted in the ROHL Jörger Aphrodite Collection, which is available in an Antique Gold finish, available by special order. Polished by hand, mimicking a rubbed brass finish, this pillared design exudes a modern elegance of Ancient Greece and the Greek goddess, Aphrodite, for which this collection was inspired.

The September issue of House Beautiful featured its “Bath of the Month” on pages 168 and 170.

Pitts noted that when pairing a faucet with a vessel sink, the height of the spout must be paid close attention in order to ensure the lip will not drop water on the counter.

Caring For Your Fireclay Sink

ROHL’s Shaws Fireclay Sinks are fired at over 2,200 degrees, which is twice that of cast iron products, and thus are incredibly durable. They also resist alkali, acid, chips and scratches. In order to maintain the beauty of your Shaws Fireclay Sink, we recommend the following:

• Use a soft sponge or cloth with a mild abrasive for daily cleaning.
• To avoid water spotting, wipe down the sink bottom after use.
• On the occasion a metal pot or pan leaves a mark on the surface, we recommend Astonish Cleaner.

Preserve the lasting quality of your ROHL Shaws Sink and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service department.

Partnership for Perfection

Since 1983, ROHL has been creating extraordinary faucets and fixtures for the kitchen and bath; however, these distinctive products are not only offered in the finest homes, but also in some of the most luxurious resorts around the globe like The Leela Palace (shown). Every ROHL product offers a heritage of craftsmanship matched with state-of-the-art performance.

“ROHL’s partnership with 14 manufacturers throughout Western Europe and North America allows hospitality designers and architects to work with us to develop authentically crafted solutions for their very special properties,” said Lou Rohl, Chief Operating Officer, ROHL. “With every project, we work closely with specifiers before, during and post construction to refine and adapt products as required.”

Some of the properties featuring ROHL faucets and fixtures include: The Resort at Pelican Hill, The Phoenician Resort, The Four Seasons Seychelles, The Leela Palace (pictured) and the Venetian Macau.

THE CENTERPIECE OF YOUR KITCHEN

Your kitchen is a place where family gathers, stories are shared and memories are made. It is the heart of your home and at its center should be a piece that epitomizes the authenticity of the space it shares.

Since 1897, every Shaws Original Fireclay Apron Sink has been finely handcrafted in Darwen, England, with the same distinctive design and fireclay construction. The artisans stamp their name directly into every sink they create – a symbol of pride that lasts as long as its beautifully resilient fireclay surface.

The ROHL Shaws Sink Collection resists scratches, thermal shock, alkaline and acids, maintaining its enduring radiant appearance. Invite luxury, resilience and authenticity into your home with a ROHL Shaws Sink, and make it the centerpiece of your kitchen.

RETHINKING STAINLESS

With its new line of Stainless Steel and Copper Sinks, ROHL is maintaining the experience of authentic luxury. The sinks ROHL offers are the only Commercial grade stainless steel sinks available for residential use. Normally, stainless steel sinks can produce loud noises from water and dishes. However, by working with Italian artisans, this problem is alleviated by the use of an undercoating using “Quiet Coat” sound deadening technology.

The Stainless Copper Steel Treatment is a copper treatment on stainless steel allowing it to resist heat up to 500 degrees F, and these sinks will not oxidize or patina. Thermal insulation maintains consistent water temperature. The unique patented “tangent edge” design allows for zero edge side walls, for a contemporary, modern look.

Rethink stainless for your kitchen with ROHL, as we put the style back into stainless.

The Innovation of Elegance

ROHL continues to bring innovative, elegant solutions for the kitchen and bath with the introduction of two new filtration systems: Traditional Etruscan for the Kitchen and Modern Mimas for the Lavatory. Made by Perrin & Rowe®, the family held UK manufacturer of fine fittings and fixtures for the kitchen and bath, these two introductions offer another set of options for discerning homeowners. Both systems feature the patented three-way Triflow® Technology which prevents cross contamination by employing a dedicated filtered waterway.

Traditional Etruscan for the Kitchen is elegantly styled and traditional, offering filtered water for the bar and kitchen. Coupled with a sleek, Swiss made Katadyn filter, which only needs replacing every six months on average, this beautiful system merges an Old World look with 21st century technology.

Modern Mimas for the Lavatory brings filtration into the bath with streamlined design, inspired by the shape of one of the many moons of Saturn. Mimas has a decidedly contemporary style. Just as with the Traditional Etruscan faucet, the Mimas integrated faucet filtration system marries the Swiss made Katadyn filter kit for superior performance.

The Kitchen’s Perfect Accessory

Great Britain has influenced everything from architecture to fashion to music in the United States. In the home, the English style country kitchen is one of the most sought after design styles. The look incorporates warm wood tones, polished or satin nickel accents, pure white ceramics and veined marbles to evoke a comfortable, “lived in” feeling. The ROHL Shaws Original Fireclay Apron Sink, with casement front, is tailored to coordinate with traditional cabinet details for a look that incorporates the thoughtful craft of a cabinetmaker.

Introduced in 1897 by Shaws of Darwen, England, each farmhouse style sink is still hand poured, shaped and stamped with the name of the artisan who created it. Each sink is available in either white or biscuit and is made out of genuine fireclay – a natural material that will never rust, and finished with a glaze that repels stains, scratches and dings.

Halekulani Resort Chooses ROHL in Remodeling Project

The Halekulani Resort on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii has been hosting visitors for nearly 100 years. It is known for its gracious hospitality, impeccable service and magnificent cuisine, so it is no surprise that ROHL Luxury Faucets & Fixtures now grace the rooms at Halekulani. ROHL Perrin & Rowe® Widespread Lavatory Faucets, Thermostatic Bath & Shower Mixers along with Single-Function Showerheads and Five-Function Handshowers were selected.

The original Halekulani began in 1907 as a residential hotel called Hau Tree owned by Robert Lewers. It consisted of a beachfront home and five bungalows. In 1917, Juliet and Clifford Kimball purchased the hotel, gradually expanded it and established it as a stylish resort for wealthy vacationers and named it Halekulani, which means ?House Befitting Heaven. Today, the Halekulani Resort is a luxury 453-room resort situated on five prime oceanfront acres on Waikiki Beach.
