Kohler turns showering on its head with Flipside

Most people can’t remember the last time they had an amazing shower. Not just hot water under suitable pressure, but a shower that changed their mood, lifted their sprits, made them feel relaxed or gave them a heightened sense of well being. Kohler has now forever changed the way we shower, with the new Flipside handshower.

Traditionally, multi–function handshowers have featured spray options on a single sprayface. Not so with the revolutionary Flipside handshower. With Kohler’s innovative Flipstream™ technology, the sprayface simply rotates on its axis, with each side dedicated to one of four spray options. This fundamental reconfiguration of the sprayface has allowed Kohler to create four, totally unique experiences in one
handshower:

Koverage – an everyday shower spray with maximum water coverage and superb performance that is perfect for the morning shower routine.
Kotton – streams of dense, soft, enveloping downpour; a luxury of relaxation that caresses your skin.
Komotion – a drenching spray that delivers an exhilarating, circular motion that refreshes the senses and promotes a heightened sense of well-being.
Kurrent – provides a targeted and invigorating massage spray to ease away the aches and pains of tired muscles.

The Flipside head provides a greater surface area for a superb shower spray experience. It also enables effortless flip changing between each of the four spray modes; even with soapy hands! The Flipstream feature also makes the Flipside handshower ideally suited for users of all ages, even those with limited hand mobility. Additionally, each spray mode offers a range of movement so the user can easily angle the water stream to suit differing height requirements. Kohler tops off these functional benefits with a uniquely smart and fun design.

The Flipside handshower is an affordable way for homeowners to instantly upgrade their homes and add a spa experience with a product that’s extremely easy to install. It is a quick and affordable way to introduce the features of a custom home spa to the home; the only challenge will be which spray experience to try next.

The Flipside handshower is available in two designs. Flipside 02’s contemporary geometric lines are for lovers of contemporary design and Flipside 03 makes a statement with its black handle. Finish options are polished chrome.
