For Immediate Release

BLOOMINGDALE, Ill. - Feminine and graceful, yet possessing the power and substance to skillfully control water in the most demanding of kitchen environments, GROHE's new K4™ suite is an essential complement to commercial-grade kitchen appliances. K4 features an organic design unifying a set of four chef-worthy tools that will appeal to people who are both serious about cooking and serious about creating a beautifully functional kitchen.

Grohe K4 Faucet

The K4 suite includes pull-out faucets for both main and prep sinks, as well as a pillar tap that provides cold water for iced tea or other beverages at the touch of a finger and a pot filler that effortlessly supplies water at your stove. K4 faucets are finely crafted and available in either high-gloss GROHE StarLight® chrome or the professional's choice, GROHE RealSteel® solid stainless steel. GROHE is the only company to offer a four-piece kitchen faucet collection in solid stainless steel. "The K4 suite is a true industry first in terms of design," said Paul Flowers, vice president of design for GROHE. "This family of faucets especially will appeal to homeowners with high-end 'smart'; appliances and commercial-level cooking spaces. The use of K4 is comparable to outfitting your kitchen with Sub-Zero, Viking and Thermador brands. If you invest in the highest quality stoves and refrigerators for your kitchen, it only makes sense to also install the finest faucets on the market." The K4 suite features GROHE SilkMove® that allows consumers to control water with the touch of a fingertip - creating the most convenient and customized faucet system available. Multiple installation options allow for the handle on each K4 piece to be placed in a location most comfortable for the user...to the left, the right or center. Similarly, the handles require smaller angles of operation - meaning that it';s not necessary to worry about installing any of the faucets too close to a wall. Other features include two on/off controls for the pot filler and the dual-spray feature on the main and prep sink pull-out faucets feature an easy "toggle" between regular flow and spray. The pull-out dual-spray heads also feature GROHE's patented SpeedClean® anti-lime system that maintains a "like-new" spray function with just a simple wipe.
