The Awards, which recognise form, function, quality, safety and sustainability of a product, are judged by leading Australian and international experts in design.
ROTHENBERGER, which has a strong commitment to design, innovation and engineering, only entered these two products in the awards.
Created by Scottish plumber Ross Dickinson the recently released Kibosh Pipe Repair is a unique patented device which provides a professional, affordable, quick and easy emergency repair for burst or perforated pipes, or leaky fittings.
This quick-fix solution saves the distress and damage of flooding, allowing the pipe to remain in use, while waiting for a plumber to reach the site, locate the isolator or gain access to the pipes (underground/behind walls). It requires no tools or plumbing experience to operate.
The Roflare Revolver employs patented mechanisms to ensure a leak-proof norm-flare can be assured, making it the only flaring tool on the market that can guarantee a norm-flare inside relevant industrial standards.
The compact design of the Roflare Revolver means it is suitable for working in tight areas like ceiling suspended indoor units.
“As a leader in product engineering and pipetool innovation we see it as our duty to deliver the most effective, well thought through, products possible to the market”, said Oliver Taylor, Managing Director, ROTHENBERGER ANZ. “I see the Good Design® Marks as proof we are walking our talk.”
“The Australian International Design Awards assessment process is recognised as one of the most thorough of all international design recognition programs” explains Brandon Gien, Managing Director of Good Design Australia.
“By today’s standards, quality alone is not enough to differentiate a product from its competitors.
“Consumers are concerned about performance, value for money, ease of use, safety and environmental impact; this is why both ROTHENBERGER products received this recognition.”
