MPRO Flute: New Energy-Saving Tap Design

As more homeowners look for practical ways to reduce their energy consumption, it’s often the everyday products that offer the greatest opportunity for change. Small adjustments can make a meaningful difference, helping to lower household bills while reducing your environmental impact. That’s why we’ve developed the new MPRO Flute basin tap, an innovative design featuring an energy-saving function that helps minimise unnecessary hot water use.

Combining intelligent performance with elegant styling, the MPRO Flute proves that making more sustainable choices doesn’t mean compromising on design, bringing both efficiency and sophistication to the modern bathroom.

Cold Start Innovation

Found on our new MPRO Flute monobloc and tall basin taps, cold start is a smart feature designed to help reduce energy consumption without changing the way you use your bathroom.

With a standard basin tap, the starting handle position typically draws a mixture of hot and cold water. While this may seem convenient, many everyday tasks, such as rinsing your hands, washing your face or wetting a toothbrush, only require water for a few seconds. In these instances, the hot water often never reaches the tap before it is turned off again. Despite this, your boiler may have already fired up or hot water may have been drawn from your supply, resulting in unnecessary energy use.

Cold start technology eliminates this wastage by supplying only cold water when the tap handle is in the default position. Hot water is only activated when you intentionally move the handle towards the hot setting. This means you can continue using your tap exactly as you normally would, but with the reassurance that energy is only being used when it’s genuinely needed. By preventing unnecessary boiler activation and reducing wasted hot water, cold start technology helps improve efficiency throughout the home.

While each individual use may seem insignificant, these small moments can add up over time. By ensuring hot water is only generated when required, MPRO Flute’s cold start design can help lower energy consumption, reduce household running costs and minimise environmental impact, making it a simple yet effective way to create a more sustainable bathroom.

Smart Functionality, Modern Design

Energy-saving technology is just one part of what makes the new MPRO Flute collection stand out. Designed to bring together exceptional performance and contemporary style, it builds on the clean, sophisticated aesthetic of our much-loved MPRO range while introducing a distinctive new design detail.

The collection features the sleek silhouette that has made MPRO a favourite in modern bathroom design, now enhanced with a beautifully fluted handle texture. This refined finish adds depth, character and a tactile quality to the brassware, making it the ideal choice for homeowners looking to create a bathroom that feels both elegant and on trend.

Available in three contemporary finishes, MRPO Flute has been designed to coordinate effortlessly with the rest of our bathroom collections, allowing you to create a cohesive look throughout your space. Whether you’re designing a minimalist ensuite or a statement family bathroom, the versatile finish options make it easy to achieve a considered, high-end aesthetic.

For those seeking a fully coordinated scheme, the fluted handle design extends beyond basin taps and is available across a selection of basin, bath and shower brassware. This allows you to carry the distinctive look throughout the room, creating a seamless design that combines visual appeal with smart, eco-conscious functionality.

With MPRO Flute, you don’t have to choose between style and sustainability. The collection delivers both, helping you create a beautifully designed bathroom while making more mindful choices about your daily energy use.
