We’ve introduced a lot of “firsts” to the world in our nearly 140 years as a leader in kitchen and bathroom design. Whether it’s pioneering work with new materials and technologies or adapting skills and methods passed down through generations, our designers and engineers work continuously to expand modern ideas of comfort, convenience and beauty.

1. Effervescence

2. Flipside

3. Minima

Exclusive to KOHLER®, Effervescence is a sublime, all-encompassing hydrotherapy that creates small, champagne-like bubbles that cling to and stimulate the skin as they travel gently along the body. Water and air travel through specially designed ports to caress the body in a warm, slow-moving embrace.

Flipside showerheads and handshowers turn showering on its head – offering four distinct showering sensations, each with its own sprayface. Innovative Flipstream® technology makes selecting a spray both simple and stylish. Just flip the sprayhead on its axis – no impossible twisting – and enjoy the spray that best suits your needs.

With a home measure and installation service, the Minima made-to-measure range offers flexibility to create a unique showering space. Whether you have an awkward or unusual space or you want to make an impressive style statement, the options are endless.

4. Karbon

5. Katalyst

6. Digital Showering Systems

Pioneering the use of carbon fibre and pivoting joints in tap design, Karbon articulating kitchen taps deliver unprecedented efficiency and an iconic modern design. The tap holds any pose for hands-free operation – from fully extended to compactly stored out of the way and anywhere in between.

Engineering water to be bigger and better performing, Katalyst air-induction spray technology introduces a new way to think about single-function showerheads and handshowers. By infusing two litres of air per minute, Katalyst delivers a powerful, indulgent spray that clings to your body with large, full drops.

Redefining custom showering, KOHLER DTV® and DTV Prompt® showering systems deliver personalised comfort and put complete control of your environment at your fingertips.

7. Artist Editions

8. Torsion

9. Kohler Enameled Cast Iron

Functional works of art, Artist Editions products go beyond beautiful design. Handcrafted from the finest materials to be one of a kind, these products are as individual as you are. For the homeowner with an artistic sensibility, decorative products let you create a space that is truly your own.

Winner of a Red Dot design award, Torsion shower doors combine innovative functionality with exceptional quality and flawless design. Inspired by seamless modern architecture, Torsion doors feature cleverly hidden door mechanisms within minimal framing and hinge blocks finished flush with the glass. Deceptively simple, these doors are incredibly easy to clean and carry a lifetime guarantee.

For nearly 140 years, Kohler has been crafting one-of-a-kind cast-iron products in Kohler, Wisconsin. Nothing makes an enduring statement to innovative design, lasting beauty and timeless craftsmanship like KOHLER enameled cast iron. While other trends come and go, few materials can match its strength, style and soul.

10. Coated Glass

11. BioCoteTM

12. PVD Finishes

Using state-of-the-art bespoke machinery, all shower doors and panels are coated with a glass protector that acts as an invisible barrier to prevent buildup of dirt. Depending on the hardness of your water and the frequency of your water use, this glass coating can help keep your shower door looking like new for years to come.

Every low-profile, walk-in and Weir tray stays protected for its whole lifetime, thanks to this BioCote technology. It is incorporated into the top surface of the shower tray helping to reduce bacteria and mould growth by up to 99.9%.

Setting the benchmark for finish durability, Kohler designed a unique process for applying colour finish to our taps and accessories – Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD). Working at the molecular level, PVD finishes actually bond with the tap, creating an incredibly strong surface that resists corrosion, scratching and tarnish.
