The Crestial Philosophy

Backed by more than 30 years of participation in the faucet industry, the founding team of S U M International Pte Ltd who owns the CRESTIAL trademark has profound appreciation of customer product expectations. Among the predominant ones are style, value, performance. Accordingly, CRESTIAL faucets are designed with “form follows function” in mind for optimal user-friendliness and minimal fuss.

Durability and reliability are the over-riding design and development criteria of CRESTIAL. That shows our passion for precision and quality. Which is why we use high value materials eg dezincification resistant brass in our concealed mixers. We interpret a minimalist product design concept as: a minimum of material to achieve a maximum of finesse. And what is the net result of this product philosophy? Craftsmanship and simplicity, practicality and beauty are all combined to form a highly personal style.

The heart of the system lies in the premium “made in EU” brands Kerox/Flühs ceramic cartridges and headparts. Tested for 500,000 cycles, these 35mm and 40mm diameter ceramic cartridges and 1/2” brass body ceramic headparts meet or exceed the most demanding test and certification requirements worldwide, complying with relevant performance standards of ACS, DIN, KIWA, EN, ASME, ASSE, CSA and water-contact parts conform with DVGW, WRC, NSF, TUV-SUD-PSB... Likewise stainless steel braided, TUV approved flexible hoses from Tucai and diverters from Neoperl enjoy a European brand heritage. The latter with a 123,000 test cycle track record; on a reality scale a life span of 50 years.

Other design features are equally tangible: ergonomic handles that feel good to hold. Sophisticated, installer friendly mounting systems. Constant flow regulators, read specification options to save water and, at the same time to save energy by virtue of reduced hot water consumption.

The Company, the people echo an amalgamation of skills, competency, expertise... The products, their concise lines, flawless simplicity, precision and durability are other main ingredients to CRESTIAL’s all-out distinction. The 5-year no small print warranty for mixers simply proves the point.
