Kaha – a collection that will create a distinctive presence in any home.

Exhibiting a classic single lever form updated with modern and dynamic design accents, the Kaha tapware range combines "curves with crisp edges" says Kent Sneddon, Group Head of Design and Development at Methven.

Kaha continues to build on the Methven brand proposition infusing distinctive design elements with innovative end user driven technology. Evenflo™, Methven’s patented water balancing technology comes standard on all Kaha tapware and improves performance by preventing noticeable pressure and temperature fluctuations within a system as well as allowing for a more precise transition from hot to cold. This not only makes the temperature setting easier for the user but also minimises the risks of scalding and thermal shock.

This is particularly beneficial for shower mixers; as this will prevent annoying and potentially dangerous fluctuations caused when other outlets are used during a shower; preserving the shower experience.

As an additional safety "most of the mixers feature ceramic cartridges that allows both the maximum temperature and flow of water to be adjusted, helping to save water and further protect the user from Scalding" says Kent.

In total, the Kaha range will consist of 11 individual product configurations including a Swivel Basin Mixer, Swivel Sink Mixer, Shower Mixer with and without Diverter, Wall Mounted Spouts (basin and bath), Plate Mounted Wall Mixers (basin and bath), 3 Hole Basin Set and Wall Top Assemblies.

An added feature with the basin and sink mixer includes a concealed one piece swivel base; allowing the user to alter the position of the tap to enhance both the functionality and ease of operation.

Methven, New Zealand’s largest supplier of tapware to builders, plumbers and home renovators, has been in the industry for over 125 years.

"In this time, we’ve become experts in developing highly functional and distinctive tapware to meet the design preferences of home owners" says Sneddon. "It’s why we can be confident that Kaha will define itself as a timeless collection."

The Kaha tapware range will be available throughout leading plumbing and building merchants nationwide from June 2011 onwards.
