08 Jun 2026 CW Team

hansgrohe has introduced Avalegra, an integrated basin and faucet system designed to combine elegance, innovation and functionality at the washplace. The system brings together spray technologies, durable materials, easy installation and low-maintenance use in one integrated concept.

Avalegra features a new parabolic spray integrated into the basin to simplify everyday routines, while the laminar spray in the swivel spout supports comfortable use at the wash basin. Both spray options deliver performance with a water flow of only 5 l/min.

The wash basin is made of solid surface material, offering resistance to cleaning agents, chemicals and dirt build-up. Its flowing inner contours further support easy maintenance.

The system also offers safe and intuitive operation, allowing users to select temperature, water outlet and volume through turning handles. The preferred temperature setting can remain fixed for easier use during the next operation.

By merging the basin and faucet into a single system, Avalegra reduces combination and installation risks. The complete solution is available under one SKU, ensuring that appearance and function are fully harmonised.
