Elegance, functionality, craftsmanship.
These characteristics come to mind when thinking about what the House of Rohl collection of fine plumbing fixtures brings to each bathroom and kitchen.
Available locally through The Water Closet in Orillia, the House of Rohl is home to five diverse brands featuring the ultimate in artistic expression and craftsmanship to boost your home or cottage décor.
Their distinguished brands – Shaws, Riobel, Perrin & Rowe, Rohl, and Victoria + Albert – provide the fine pieces necessary to add to a lifestyle of luxury defined by creativity, quality of design, and a dedication to detail.
Including exquisite fixtures and accessories from Europe, Africa, and Canada, the House of Rohl has plenty to offer, including imaginative and exquisite faucets, sinks, tubs and more.
“These pieces are the essence of timeless quality and design,” says Rick Cooke, manager of The Water Closet. “The distinct designs and features offer a harmonious blend of innovation, craftsmanship, and elegance.”
Heritage of handcrafted excellence
Handcrafted farmhouse sinks by Shaws are made with a process that’s been passed down through generations – since 1897.
The fireclay sinks feature clean lines and natural shapes, and are moulded, poured and finished by hand. They are twice-glazed and fired for two days at temperatures reaching over 1,200-degrees Celsius in specially designed kilns.
Made to be used for a lifetime, many Shaws sinks are still being used in English country homes.
Innovation meets elegance
Riobel delivers innovation without compromise with their cutting-edge faucets and shower systems.
Designed and made in Quebec, Riobel marries sleek aesthetics with precision engineering. Every piece is a testament to their commitment to pushing boundaries in both design and functionality.
Their faucet collections are stunning creations that exemplify luxury and symmetry. The initial design inspirations go through 3D modeling before being engineered and equipped with patented technologies, and then are put through a rigorous testing and inspection process before getting the stamp of approval.
Timeless elegance, British craftsmanship
Embodying the essence of English style, Perrin & Rowe epitomizes understated elegance and meticulous craftsmanship. Inspired by railway engineers from the industrial revolution, there is a minimalist beauty and vibrant precision to these fixtures.
Made from solid brass with a ceramic disc cartridge, these faucets offer strength and durability. They’re also easy to maintain and a delight to use, with a retractable pull-down metal hand spray with ergonomic swivel connection.
Their faucets and fixtures evoke a sense of refined luxury, making them a favorite among those who appreciate the finer things in life. Some models are available with touchless technology as well.
Authentic luxury, inspired by tradition
With a heritage rooted in authentic luxury, Rohl offers a diverse range of kitchen and bath fixtures that pay homage to classic designs.
From faucets to shower systems, Rohl products blend timeless elegance with modern functionality, catering to discerning tastes around the globe.
The Eclissi Collection by Rohl is derived from the Italian word for eclipse, with faucets that highlight circular shapes like the sun and moon.
Meanwhile, the Tenerife and Miscelo lines feature wall mounts, tall spouts, single handle models, and even handles that look like teardrops, giving you the flexibility to accentuate your décor.
And there are several other designs that differ ever so slightly, providing plenty of options to fit any home or cottage.
Artistic bathtubs and basins
Victoria + Albert’s tubs and sinks take your living spaces to another level.
Made with volcanic limestone – a white rock formed from pressure and heat – these fixtures are strong, lightweight, smooth, and durable. The lightweight composition makes support reinforcements on second floor installations unnecessary.
The natural characteristics of the volcanic limestone provide resistance to scratches, stains, chips, and impact.
Elevate your space
In a world where luxury is often defined by superficial trends, House of Rohl stands as a testament to enduring quality and timeless design, says Melinda Verkerk, Showroom Consultant for The Water Closet in Orillia.
Head to their showroom and enjoy the experience of visiting each of these prestigious brands together under one roof: the collection is curated to inspire.
Enjoy the stress-free experience where a no-pressure sales approach means their team is there to help you find the right pieces for your requirements and desires.
“Whether you’re renovating a kitchen or designing a
spa-like bathroom retreat, we can help ensure that every choice reflects your unique style and commitment to quality,” says Melinda. “Discover the art of luxury plumbing and transform your home into a sanctuary of style and sophistication.”
