It’s no surprise that even as my husband and I are considering swapping out our faucets for hands-free versions at home, my clients have sent increasing numbers of requests to add them to their renovations. In fact, after such an inquiry on one of our recent projects, I presented both the GROHE Minta Touch kitchen faucet and the Concetto kitchen faucet retro-fitted with GROHE’s foot control technology. We recognized that the two options would be a great fit for a family with very young boys, a busy lifestyle, and an appreciation for both modern décor and superior quality in kitchen and bath fixtures. The gorgeous Minta, with the option of a unique and rather awesome u-shaped spout, and foot controlled Concetto have obvious benefits. Since germs are less likely to spread when we have fewer things to touch- a tap of a clean wrist or a swipe of your foot to turn the water on makes perfect sense. Pair it with an automatic soap dispenser and you have a winning setup! 

Another important concern for me, and the homeowners who trust our firm to develop their dream space, is environmental conservancy. Remember those young boys I referenced? I know all too well what kids like to do when mom and dad aren’t hovering- and that’s to not turn things off! Not ideal when you are being conscious of saving water. With the Minta & Concetto hands-free faucets, unnecessary amounts of water spilling into a drain is no longer an issue when they automatically shut off after 60 seconds!

With all of the hands-free faucet’s efficiency and water conservation benefits, I’m looking forward to seeing which model is picked for this kitchen renovation. Knowing that GROHE is behind whichever product is chosen, I am confident that it will stand the test of time and the family will love it for years to come.
