Designed with
you in mind
We want to make your experiences with water truly memorable.
To do this we spend a lot of time studying and researching what
people want, anticipating even the smallest of needs to deliver
truly amazing water experiences.
Every detail is considered. From optimising the spray from our
shower heads for better warmth and coverage; to a sliding switch
instead of a conventional rotating head to make changing shower
functions easy even with wet, slippery hands; to a built-in footrest
for shaving your legs. Small details of your entire bathroom
experience have been improved to create a big impact
- and always designed with you in mind.

Guaranteed
quality
We’re proud to stand by each and every one of our products
with a 15-year, 20-year or lifetime warranty.
The reason for this is simple: we design and engineer our
products in New Zealand, so that we have control over
the process from start to finish. We constantly push for
perfection. In fact there is not a single component that
hasn’t been considered and refined for quality and durability
at every stage - from design and engineering right through
to manufacturing, crafting and even packaging.

Committed to
the environment
At Methven we’re committed to protecting the planet and reducing our
environmental impact to help conserve the earth’s natural resources.
Water is the earth’s most precious commodity. Currently around one fifth of the
world lives in a water scarce region. And with water usage growing at twice the
population rate, its preservation will only become more vital in years to come.
That’s why at Methven we make taking care of water a primary focus
in every product we develop.
For example, did you know that your shower uses around 30% of your
household water consumption? So we’ve developed innovative technologies
- such as Satinjet and Aurajet - that deliver a luxurious shower experience,
all whilst actually using less water.
Methven. Conserving energy and water to protect
the planet for generations to come.

Your new bathroom layout can make all the

shower. This can be a great option, although you
may want to consider retaining at least one bath
in the house – it can add to the value of your
property.
