Rohl vs Perrin & Rowe: The most luxurious faucet brands?

3 min read

Finding the best product can be challenging. It starts with choosing the best brand, and sometimes that is already a hard process. Today we will discuss two sister brands that are part of the House of Rohl group: the founding brand itself - ROHL - and another brand from the group - Perrin & Rowe. Last week we already discussed all House of Rohl brands in detail (including another famous faucet brand, Riobel). You can check it here. Today we will look in more depth at what are probably two of the most luxurious faucet brands in the world.

Perrin & Rowe

Perrin & Rowe is the definition of elite. Founded over 40 years ago in Britain, Perrin & Rowe rightfully holds a top spot in the faucet industry today. Having started as a handmade brand, they still use that philosophy in their manufacturing process. They have created what you can call 'modern artisanal manufacturing'. Their moulds are designed by artists, and molten brass is poured into them by hand. The result is stunning: Perrin & Rowe faucets look as beautiful as they are well-crafted.

All their faucets are made in small batches to maintain the highest quality. Constant quality checks are another benefit that sets them above other brands. Their faucets work like clockwork, free of malfunctions, as proven by users and professional plumbers.

But their unparalleled designs are what we are here for. Rooted in the Victorian and Edwardian eras of Britain, their highly aesthetic and timeless designs could easily belong in the 19th century as well as in modern times. Their manufacturing process supports this idea as Perrin & Rowe faucets are designed, manufactured, assembled, and polished in English facilities only. This approach allows them to maintain strict quality control over every stage of manufacturing.

Finishes are another factor that elevates them compared to competitors. Among the eight signature finishes, aged brass stands out - a ‘living finish’ that changes over time, as the brand describes it. It creates a vintage look that will become a focal point of any bathroom. Through the process of oxidation and daily use, a beautiful layer of patina forms, which brings an antique look to any bathroom.

ROHL

As we said, the House of Rohl is a group of brands, the first of which was ROHL itself. This unifying approach is also part of ROHL’s philosophy - they take inspiration from different worldwide design schools, just as the House of Rohl has different brands under its roof.

ROHL designs take the best from the rich history of plumbing manufacturing to create something new that still feels like a timeless classic.

The brand philosophy is simple: a combination of family traditions and innovations. No matter what product you choose, they all combine authenticity and timelessness. As Mark Rohl says in his Q&A for Edelman Home: "Trends come and go and your style preferences may change over the years, but your ROHL faucet or fixture will always be beautiful."

This approach allows ROHL to focus on what really matters and to avoid chasing short-lived trends.

Their collaborations with recognized artists like Michael Berman have become their signature, and the approach of taking the best from the best is successfully used to elevate their already authentic products.

Today, brands like ROHL, Perrin & Rowe, Riobel, and others from the House of Rohl show that a brand can stay true to its philosophy and still be successful. Rooted in the past but more relevant than ever today, these brands are proving their timeless value.
