Abode, designer and distributor of taps & sinks and Pronteau hot water taps combines the best of traditional style and contemporary living with its range of town and country kitchen sinks and taps.
Whether you want to enhance the architectural features of a barn conversion create an authentic farmhouse feel or new build property, Abode is able to serve the classic kitchen without compromising on the latest instant hot water technology or period design elements.
Added to this, the much-loved Belfast Sink by Abode is equally at home in either a town or country kitchen scheme and thanks to Pronteau, (pictured left) homeowners can now enjoy the convenience of instant hot water on tap, which is traditionally styled and accommodates the installation of both a deep bowl butler sink and hot water boiler system in the same 600mm base unit!
Paul Illingworth, design director at Abode says, “Eclectic, farmhouse and Shaker-style kitchens remain popular style trends and in 2023-24, new traditional interior spaces are on the rise with a thoughtful presentation of high performance taps. Defining characteristics like ceramic lever handles, period style spout collars, and classic finishes have become a unique feature of the traditionally styled kitchen, and this is why we’re delighted to offer our customers a range of mixer taps and instant hot water taps, which convene modern lifestyles yet remain 100% on theme.” Ideal for homeowners who want classic style with contemporary convenience, Pronteau ProTrad is available in 3 IN 1 and 4 IN 1 models delivering up to 98° steaming hot water on demand, and the option of filtered cold water. Available in a series of traditional finishes, ProTrad is designed with ceramic style handles and
Victorian details, which are designed to sit perfectly in the classic kitchen in either town or country. Each model is supplied with a PROBOIL.2x under sink boiler, which is specially designed to fit underneath a Butler style sink for a truly authentic kitchen scheme. Fast and simple to install, the Pronteau PB2X boiler is an insulated model with low running costs, and offers a 2-litre stainless steel tank, toolless installation and quick re-boil times with simple intuitive digital controls.
The Belfast Sink by Abode is designed to complement a range of different furniture styles, from classic modern through to traditional farmhouse and industrial style kitchens. Made of the finest fireclay ceramic with white glaze finish, its undermount installation is further enhanced by adding the Pronteau ProTrad, which doesn’t forego valuable storage space beneath the bowl thanks to the ultracompact boiler.
When size matters, consider Ludlow Bridge: a true Victorian beauty that makes a real statement in the classic kitchen through its distinct shape and sophisticated Brushed Nickel finish. Perfect when paired with a twin bowl or 1.5 bowl arrangement, the Ludlow Bridge mixer tap (pictured right) features a slender swan style spout, which is designed to rotate a full 360° degrees, which is hugely convenience when washing fruit and vegetables or filling a large pot with water. Smooth ceramic lever handles with quarter turn technology effortless add to the tap’s period form and function, while its signature bridge design creates a timeless wash zone that complements both old and new.
If you want to bring an extra layer of luxury to the wet zone, the Melford monobloc kitchen mixer (pictured top) is a fine example of continental style having originated in France. Evoking the look and feel of a French provincial kitchen, Melford is beautifully ornate and features the very best in modern engineering technology. Available in both monobloc and bridge designs, traditional hot and cold ceramic white indices accentuate the crosshead handles and intricate spout and neck, which is designed with a Revolve aerator so you can reduce your water flow! With models in Chrome, Antique Brass and Brushed Nickel, Melford will complement any style of sink, worksurface and furniture, whilst also stealing the focus from time to time.
Dan Biddle, product manager at Abode says, “Our designers are constantly refining our product mix to ensure the utmost flexibility when pairing classic sinks and taps in today’s modern kitchen. Everything we make is for people who want the perfect blend of design, performance and sheer quality, which is why we continually invest in the very best components and latest manufacturing techniques to ensure a range of kitchen sinks and taps that feel right at home in both town and country.”
