GROHE Essence 32898001 | Basin Mixer

Designed on a cylinder theme and presented in dazzling GROHE StarLight chrome, this GROHE Essence bathroom tap will be an aesthetic focal point in your bathroom. The regular-height spout hangs weightlessly over the basin, leaving plenty of space for teeth-brushing or face-washing. The built-in GROHE SilkMove cartridge lets you vary water temperature and flow with ease and precision. The GROHE EcoJoy system caps your water use at 5.7 litres per minute, even at full flow. The handy pop-up rod activates the plughole effortlessly when you want to fill the basin. GROHE QuickFix Plus means fitting is trouble-free, particularly since this mixer has a reduced number of parts.

 GROHE StarLight 

MADE-TO-LAST SURFACES RANGING FROM PRECIOUS MATT TO SHINY LIKE A DIAMOND.

GROHE faucets are guaranteed to look as beautiful decades on as they did the day you first fell in love with them. The special recipe to success lies in our long-lasting surface quality: GROHE StarLight® Technology.

Continuous improvement over the last 75 years has seen our unique plating process refined to produce a robust and immaculate surface that is recognised as one of the best finishes in the world. This is thanks to rigorous quality controls and ongoing investment, giving you a lifetime of enjoyment.

As well as the classic chrome finish, GROHE uses state-of-the-art machinery to deliver exceptional quality finishes. The physical vapour deposition (PVD) process ensures that the surface composition is three-times harder, delivering glistening gold or sophisticated stainless-steel finishes. As well as being harder, the surface is also ten times more scratch resistant, so it can be cherished for a lifetime.

Across the spectrum of GROHE finishes, from matt to shiny and in all colour choices, GROHE StarLight® offers a made-to-last finish. The flawless, long-lasting surface is designed to be extremely resistant to dirt and scratches, making maintenance effortless and ensuring good-as-new looks for many years.

 GROHE SilkMove

SMOOTHEST HANDLING FOR EFFORTLESS PRECISION AND ULTIMATE COMFORT FOR A LIFETIME.

Only GROHE mixers deliver the unique GROHE SilkMove® experience. The rich, smooth handling of our single-lever mixers perfectly expresses the quality and superiority of our brand. The GROHE SilkMove® cartridge delivers gradual and precise control of the water flow and temperature.

The cartridge is the centre piece of every mixer and where the ceramic discs are located. They are made from a space-proven ceramic alloy, one gliding over the other with utmost precision. The polished mirror-like surface of the discs is then coated with a special lubricant with Teflon® technology for friction free performance. The lever handle of the mixer is connected to the discs by a solid brass element for maximum strength and durability. It is essential that the machining and quality of these precision parts are of the highest standards, so that they deliver unrivalled performance.

GROHE is one of the world’s leading faucet manufacturers and one of a few worldwide that manufacture their own advanced cartridges. Our cartridges are designed to withstand years of use – for a lifetime of maintenance-free operation.

In a large-scale endurance test for single-lever mixers, Germany’s TÜV SÜD examined the mechanical wear of products of nine renowned international manufacturers. Among the aspects tested were the operating forces in the movement of the lever, the breakaway torque after an extended rest period, the operating precision and the tightness. The result: GROHE is the clear test winner.
