RAINDANCE

Product catalog summary

Introduction and Philosophy

The document introduces Hansgrohe's Raindance® shower system, focusing on transforming the shower experience into a sensory and emotional ritual. It emphasizes water's role beyond cleansing—refreshing mind and soul—and highlights the brand's commitment to innovative design and technology to enhance daily showering.

Design Innovation

The Raindance hand shower uniquely combines the broad spray of an overhead shower with hand shower flexibility. Key design elements include a large diameter, ultra-flat profile, and a short grip, making it three times larger than conventional hand showers. Two distinct style options are offered: the organic, flowing "S" style and the minimalist, geometric "E" style, aligning with contemporary architectural trends.

AIR Technology

Hansgrohe's proprietary AIR technology infuses water with air, mixing 1 liter of water with approximately 4 liters of air. This creates larger, softer droplets (Rain AIR) and a powerful massage jet (Whirl AIR), enhancing the shower's sensory appeal. Benefits include improved skin coverage, a calming sound experience, and about 10% water savings. Three spray modes are available: Rain AIR (gentle rain), Whirl AIR (intense massage), and Balance AIR (a combination of both).

Product Range and Sizes

The Raindance series offers hand showers in three diameters (100 mm, 120 mm, 150 mm) across two style worlds (E and S). The range extends to overhead showers, including large plate models up to 280 mm diameter and the premium Rainmaker ceiling-mounted shower with a 400 mm diameter, integrated lighting, and massage jets.

Innovative Shower Systems

Raindance Allrounder: A versatile 3-in-1 system serving as hand, overhead, and side shower with height adjustability and easy mode conversion.

Raindance Shower Panel®: The flattest shower panel on the market with concealed installation, featuring an extra-large hand shower, eight side showers, and multiple spray modes for full-body massage and rain shower experience.

Premium Overhead Showers

The Raindance AIR plate overhead showers deliver a central downpour with soft, voluminous droplets. Available in 100 mm, 240 mm, and 280 mm diameters, they support ceiling or wall mounting. The Raindance Royale AIR model offers a luxurious experience with a 280 mm diameter and 228 stream openings, crafted with premium materials and expert manufacturing.

Raindance Rainmaker

The flagship Rainmaker features a 400 mm diameter overhead shower with three independently controllable Whirl AIR massage jets, optional integrated lighting, and a concealed Highflow thermostat. It combines water, air, light, and spatial design to create an immersive shower experience and serves as a striking architectural element.

Design Coordination and Style Worlds

Hansgrohe offers two coordinated style worlds to ensure aesthetic harmony and pricing consistency:

"E" Style: Emotional and elegant design, including Raindance E series hand showers and matching mixer programs (Metropol E, Metris E, Talis E).
"S" Style: Stylish, simple geometric forms available across the Raindance product range.

This coordination facilitates a cohesive bathroom design from hand showers to mixers and accessories.

Richard Grohe Brand manager Hansgrohe Raindance® – the new way of showering and how it came about It is mostly the simple everyday things that gives life its colour, sound and taste, and determines how we feel.
