Perrin & Rowe Brassware Manufacturing Quality

All components are machined or cast from solid brass in their own dedicated factories in England, hand polished, electroplated with a coating, and then carefully assembled and pressure tested to ensure an exquisite result.

Where is Perrin & Rowe manufactured?

All Perrin & Rowe products are made in England, the home of high quality engineering. Perrin & Rowe uses no slave or child labour, does not take advantage of lax environmental standards, and ensures fair working conditions for all employees.

At a time when other UK and European tapware companies have moved their factories to China and other low cost manufacturing centres, Perrin & Rowe understands that products of exceptional quality cannot be made by remote control. 

What materials are used to make Perrin & Rowe products?

Perrin & Rowe tapware and accessories are made from high quality brass. This includes the hoses on their hand showers when the majority of hoses are now made from non-durable junk metals or plastic alloys.

The white lever handles on Perrin & Rowe taps and white components of their bathroom accessories are fine English porcelain.

All Perrin & Rowe taps feature excellent German made ceramic disc valves for many years of accurate and effortless use. 

How are the products made?

First, the bodies of the Perrin & Rowe taps are precision machined or cast in moulds. Once cooled, these are then polished by hand and carefully inspected to ensure a perfectly smooth surface.

Following casting, machining and polishing, the tap components are electroplated. Each item is carefully dipped in metal cation baths, to produce a lasting, lustrous finish.

Every part and component is then carefully checked and inspected, before being fully assembled by hand and tested to ensure perfect function.

What is the environmental impact of the manufacturing process?

As well as being fastidious in quality control, improving sustainability and reducing the environmental impact from the manufacturing process is also a priority. All of the chemicals used in the plating process are carefully removed to meet stringent British waste water standards. All waste metals are recycled and the taps and accessories are fully recyclable at the end of their life.
