Gustavsberg launches the market's first kitchen mixers with Energy Class A
Gustavsberg has the great pleasure of launching a new range of New Nautic kitchen mixers with Energy Class A (SS-82 0000:2020). Since the standard was introduced on the Nordic market in 2010, it has been considered more or less impossible to reach the highest energy class on a kitchen faucet - both based on technical limitations but perhaps above all from a user perspective.
Gustavsberg has solved these challenges and is now launching 10 upgraded mixers. A challenge has previously been to get a sufficient water flow so that the mixer can effectively clean, for example, a frying pan - something that is now remedied with a brand new ceramic package that provides a stable temperature, an adapted flow and is very energy efficient.
This ground-breaking launch is proof of our commitment to increased resource efficiency and reduced environmental impact. We are confident that these kitchen mixers, together with our wider range of water and energy efficient solutions, will have major positive impacts for property owners, users and society.
The mixers are developed and manufactured in Vårgårda. All are type-approved and meet the requirements within:
Most of the range is also EPD declared and meets the requirements within:
Some models are available in lead-free material.
Our kitchen faucets with Energy Class A
Engineered for the demands of today and tomorrow
The new Nautic is a complete range of mixers designed for today's and tomorrow's demands. The unique Smart Inside technology means that replaceable functions can be upgraded, which enables adaptations for different environmental requirements and certifications or for new regulations today and in the future. This means an extended lifespan and even better sustainability. From before, there are wash basin mixers, shower sets and ceiling shower sets in various variants that have Energy Class A and that meet the requirements within, for example, the EU taxonomy. With these new products, it is now possible to choose water- and energy-efficient faucets with the highest energy class for both bathrooms and kitchens.
"Already in the 80s we were the first in the world to have a patent for a water-saving mixer, and in the early 90s we supplemented the technology with a patent for energy saving. We at Gustavsberg are proud to be able to continue our tradition of being at the forefront of these important issues through this launch."
