Exhibiting a classic single lever form updated with modern and dynamic design accents, the Koha tapware range combines "curves with crisp edges" says Kent Sneddon, Group Head of Design and Development at Methven. "The curvilinear shapes are also easy to clean."
A rare feature in tapware, both Koha Basin and Sink Mixers swivel at the base - a major design feature that enhances product functionality.
The Koha range includes a Swivel Basin Mixer, Sink Mixer, Shower Mixer with FastflowTM, a Wall Mounted Spout which are suitable for all pressures (above 35kPa). The Wall Mounted Mixer (with and without backplate), Shower Mixer with Divertor and the Koha Ultra Shower Mixer are suitable for mains pressure installations.
The Koha range is designed and made in New Zealand for New Zealand conditions. Koha is the first Methven range to be launched in New Zealand with a WELS rating on product packaging - providing consumers with helpful information on the water efficiency of its products.
"Most Koha mixers also feature ceramic cartridges that allow both the maximum temperature and flow of water to be adjusted, helping to save water and protect the user from scalding" says Kent.
New Zealand's largest supplier of tapware to builders, plumbers and home renovators, Methven has been in the industry for over 120 years now.
"In this time, we've become experts in developing highly functional and distinctive tapware to meet the design preferences of New Zealand home owners" says Sneddon. "It's why we can be confident that Koha will define itself as a timeless collection."
The Koha tapware range is now available from leading plumbing and building merchants nationwide.
