Axor by Hansgrohe
Axor is the premium design line of Hansgrohe, the German tap and shower manufacturer, and every item here is made by Hansgrohe. What Bella Bathrooms carries under the Axor name is 284 taps and mixers and 99 bathroom accessories, 383 items in all. There are no Axor basins, baths, toilets or kitchen products in the range. See also Hansgrohe.
The Ranges Are Named After Their Designers
That is the whole Axor proposition. Starck is Philippe Starck and the deepest range here at 52 items. Citterio, 38 items, is Antonio Citterio, and One, 25 items, is Barber Osgerby. Phoenix Design shaped three more: MyEdition at 52, the Belle Epoque styled Montreux at 37, and the purist Uno at 7. A further 60 Universal accessories run across all of them.
Finishes Are the Other Half of the Choice
Beyond chrome, Axor colours its metal through the FinishPlus programme, using physical vapour deposition in the brand's own vacuum chambers, which leaves a surface harder than standard chrome. Brushed pieces are brushed by hand first. The finishes in our titles are Brushed Bronze, Brushed Red Gold, Polished Red Gold, Polished Black Chrome, Brushed Black Chrome, Polished Gold Optic and Matt Black.
How to Read the Product Titles
The titles come from the Hansgrohe catalogue, heavily abbreviated, and many do not start with the word Axor. conc is concealed, th or therm is thermostatic, out and outl are outlet, bas.m is basin mixer, w/o is without, rd is round and sq is square. FS or F-Set is the finish set, the visible trim, while a Basic Set is the concealed body that goes into the wall, and the two are ordered separately. SoftC. and SoftSq. are the plate shapes on ShowerSelect thermostats.
From here, narrow by fitting. Basin mixers are the largest single group at 91, and 28 freestanding bath mixers suit tubs that stand away from a wall. Our Kramerville showroom has Axor on display.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Axor the same as Hansgrohe?
Axor is Hansgrohe's premium design line, not a separate company. Every Axor product Bella Bathrooms sells is made and supplied by Hansgrohe, which is why you will see the Hansgrohe name on the box and on the paperwork. The two catalogues sit apart: Axor is the designer end, developed with named architects and designers, while the Hansgrohe range covers the everyday tap and shower programme.
Which Axor ranges does Bella Bathrooms stock?
Six named ranges across 383 items. Starck has 52, MyEdition 52, Citterio 38, Montreux 37, One 25 and Uno 7, plus a further 60 Universal accessories that coordinate with all of them. What we carry is taps, mixers and bathroom accessories only, with no Axor basins, baths, toilets or sanitaryware. Many titles do not begin with the word Axor, so use the range pages rather than the search box.
Why do some Axor MyEdition mixers say without plate?
MyEdition is built around a low profile mixer body and a separate cover plate that can be swapped later, so the plate is chosen and ordered on its own. Twenty one of our MyEdition items are mixers listed without a plate, and twenty one are the plates, in 150, 200 and 245 mm widths. Materials run from glass and chrome metal to American walnut, Lasa Cove and Nero Marquina marble, and leather. Order both parts together.
What do conc, FS and SoftSquare mean in Axor product names?
They are Hansgrohe catalogue shorthand. conc is concealed, th or therm is thermostatic, out and outl are outlet, bas.m is basin mixer, w/o is without, rd is round and sq is square. FS or F-Set is the finish set, meaning the visible trim, while a Basic Set is the concealed body built into the wall. SoftC. and SoftSq. are the SoftCube and SoftSquare plate shapes offered on ShowerSelect thermostats.
How do I look after Axor FinishPlus surfaces?
Finishes such as Brushed Bronze, Brushed Red Gold, Polished Black Chrome and Polished Gold Optic are applied by physical vapour deposition in Axor's own vacuum chambers, which bonds the colour into the surface rather than plating it on top and leaves it harder than standard chrome. Clean with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads, acidic descalers and limescale removers, and wipe darker finishes dry to stop water spotting.
