Created by Design Studio VitrA, Root is a comprehensive collection of brassware with over 130 skus including basin, shower, and bath mixers, all in four different finishes.

The range offers two design choices – Root Round and Root Square. Root Round has smooth, rounded curves for a softer look, while Root Square has defined geometric edges for a bolder look.
Every product within the range is available in chrome, gold, copper, and brushed nickel, which means all elements of the bathroom can be co-ordinated for maximum impact. The hardwearing colour is applied using an advanced VitrA process that gives a resilient and beautiful finish.
The range is enormously versatile, with basin mixers available as deck-mounted or built-in, and in a range of sizes including compact, standard, and tall. The range also includes several bath and shower mixer options, including deck-mounted and floor-standing bath mixers and a range of built-in shower mixers, diverters, and spouts – complemented by wastes and bottle-traps as required.
Root brassware features an exclusively designed flow regulator and the collection’s Unified Water Label certified mixers reduce water usage by 60% even in the lowest consumption category (5 litres/minute water flow).
The basin mixer cartridge with heat regulator and flow rate control provides extra savings in both energy and water consumption. Being able to control the amount of water and energy used helps to conserve natural resources and reduce heating bills.
“We believe that Root brassware will be a great success in the UK market, says Margaret Talbot, VitrA Marketing Manager for UK and Europe. “The Root range is elegant and stylish, and the sheer breadth affords retailers maximum design potential. The Root collection will be joined by new bathroom furniture later in the year – a range like the brassware that will be comprehensive, striking, and hardwearing.”
