Heau is setting a new benchmark for luxurious, sustainable shower experiences. By combining advanced engineering, award-winning design, and ecological consciousness, Heau’s patented system delivers instant hot water while saving energy, water, and reducing carbon emissions.
Founders Philippe Bijnens and Alexander Gowie, both civil engineers, created Heau to address the immense waste of water and energy caused by waiting for showers to heat up. Shockingly, U.S. households waste up to 1.3 trillion gallons annually—equivalent to the volume of Lake Titicaca.
Instant Comfort with Ingenious Technology
Heau’s innovative mechanism captures residual heat from previous showers and stores it in a high-tech insulated compartment, keeping the heat viable for up to three days. This system provides hot water instantly, saving up to 159€ per person annually on water and energy bills. Designed for households and businesses alike, Heau helps hotels, gyms, and spas significantly improve their ecological footprint while enhancing comfort.
Award-Winning Aesthetics
In addition to its technical prowess, Heau has been recognized internationally for its design, winning the iF Design Award 2024 in Berlin. Available in modern matte black, brushed bronze, and stainless steel finishes, Heau showers combine functionality with high-end aesthetics, elevating any bathroom.
Eco-Conscious Engineering
Heau is more than a product; it’s a commitment to sustainability. By preventing unnecessary waste of potable water—a vital resource that’s becoming increasingly scarce—Heau contributes to a greener planet. The product’s ecological life cycle ensures reduced emissions and long-term resource efficiency, aligning with global sustainability goals.
Customizable and Easy to Install
Heau showers are designed for accessibility, with options for concealed or retrofit models to fit any bathroom. Whether installed by Heau’s professional partners, your own contractor, or as a DIY project, the process is straightforward. With adjustable shower heights, hidden soap storage, and accessible maintenance features, Heau delivers convenience alongside innovation.
