Winning the magazine’s One Small Step Award for Sustainability, Abode Swich is described by Editor Heather Young as ‘a neat and clever device’, standing out in a category where the standard of entries was ‘seriously impressive’.

Transforming the standard kitchen tap, new or old, into a filtered water tap delivering a constant supply of crystal-clear filtered water, Abode Swich aims to help households live more sustainably by reducing their use of plastic water bottles.

The panel of expert judges of the 2021 Ideal Home Awards were also taken by the Abode Pronteau Prothia tap, which receives the Highly Commended award for Best Tap. Standing out due to its ‘good looks and great price’, the Prothia 3 IN 1 provides the convenience of domestic hot, cold and 98° instant steaming hot water, while liberating worktops and meeting the demands of busy family life.

“We’re delighted to have our products recognised with these awards,” comments Abode Marketing Manager Leanne Adamson. “A lot of hard work goes into the research and development of our product range to ensure it offers exactly what consumers need in terms of functionality and style across the various price points and these commendations confirm that Abode is at the forefront in this regard.”
