Kitchen & Bath

An intriguing blend of sleek, geometric styling and impressive functionality, the new Edgewater collection of pull-down kitchen and bar faucets from American Standard accomplishes kitchen tasks with ease. Beneath sleek curves and strong design lines, these striking kitchen sink faucets offer an intuitive 4-function sprayer, plus pause feature, that put even the more demanding home chefs in full control.

Its contemporary form and pioneering operation earned the Edgewater kitchen faucet line the Red Dot Award, the international distinction for excellence in design innovation. Participants from 57 nations registered more than 5,200 products for the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2016. An international jury selected those choice products that differentiated themselves through their aesthetic quality, durability, functionality, and emotional connection to the end user.

This Edgewater assortment includes three faucet models: a pull-down style and a semi-pro model that both incorporate patented multi-function operation, plus a design-matched pull-down bar faucet to complete the collection. Thanks to the American Standard exclusive SelectFlo patented spray technology showcased in the Edgewater multi-function sprayer, ordinary food preparation and clean-up become a joy to complete. Users can efficiently manage any kitchen sink task by simply toggling down into spray mode and rotating the dial to select the desired spray pattern.

Like all SelectFlo faucets from American Standard, the stylish Edgewater pull-down and semi-pro kitchen faucets offer the following useful spray patterns:

Stream to fill large pots quickly
Spray for everyday rinsing
Jet spray to power through tough cleaning jobs
Mist for gentle soaking and rinsing
Plus, a Pause feature that is useful when filling a container not in the sink.
An optional scrub brush attachment is available to tackle tough clean-up jobs.

All three Edgewater faucets offer effortless performance from two brand-exclusive docking system features: Re-Trax, which provides smooth operation and superior spray head retraction; and Dock-Tite, the magnetic mechanism that keeps the pull-down spray head tightly secured to the spout.

Even conserving water is an easy task with Edgewater kitchen faucets. They deliver a water-saving 1.5 gallon per minute (gpm) flow rate, which is more than a 30 percent reduction over the volume used by industry-standard 2.2 gpm kitchen faucets.

Thoughtfully designed to fit seamlessly into any kitchen configuration and decor, Edgewater faucets feature an extra-long, single-hole mounting post and optional metal deck plate to accommodate a variety of different styles of sinks, countertop materials, and countertop depths.

For additional design flexibility, these kitchen faucets are available in a choice of two long-lasting finishes: polished chrome and stainless steel. They tastefully accent any of the durable American Standard stainless steel sinks, which are available in a variety of configurations.

Built for lasting beauty, each Edgewater faucet features a metal body, mounting hardware and a two-part, ADA-compliant lever handle. Ceramic disc valve cartridges guarantee a lifetime of drip-free operation, while the faucet’s robust nylon spray hose ensures kink and fray-resistant durability. Pre-attached, color-coded stainless steel supply lines make installation simple.

Pricing for this assortment is: semi-pro pull-down $550; pull-down $425; and bar faucet $375. This Edgewater kitchen faucet collection is available at kitchen and bath showrooms and wholesalers nationwide.

SYMRNA, TENN. (May 25, 2016) – KWC, a leading supplier of luxury kitchen and bath faucets, shower systems and accessories, unveiled five complete bath lines – AVA, INTRO, ONO, PIANA, and ZOE – at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) last week. Taking inspiration from its Swiss heritage and a design aesthetic derived from elements in nature, KWC’s bath lines are crafted and engineered to bring the experience of immersing in pure Swiss waters into the home. If you couldn’t be there, KWC’s bath collections were a highlight at ICFF and include a selection of faucet options, bathtub spouts and shower valves available to the American market beginning in June. During the show, designers, architects, showroom owners and consumers experienced the new faucets in a rejuvenating Swiss Water Sanctuary – which included interactive adult coloring and fully functioning product displays that evoked the serenity of a water spa. “For more than a century, KWC has represented the pinnacle of performance, quality and craftsmanship in the manufacture of kitchen faucets. Now, we’re bringing those same attributes into the bath,” said KWC Product Manager Lars Christensen. “We have combined the most advanced technology with expert engineering to transport luxury consumers to the very source of our identity – the elemental waters of Switzerland. In fact, the designer of KWC’s famed ZOE faucet was inspired while stopping at a bubbling spring in the midst of a hike. Noticing the way the water bent when flowing from the spring, he conceived ZOE’s evocative and timeless shape.” KWC bath products feature innovative, water spa technology including thermostatic and pressure balance valves that intuitively control water temperature and flow, and CoolFix® that only allows cold (as opposed to lukewarm) water to flow when the lever is in its central position, thereby drastically reducing hot water consumption. In addition, flow rates between 1.2 – 1.75 gallons per minute (gpm) ensure that KWC faucets help save water and protect the environment.

Experience the bath lines, available to customers beginning in June, on KWC’s website and social channels. Highlights include:

· AVA: a slender, cubic-form design distinguishes this bath collection, which strikes an artful balance between the traditional and modern, and features state-of-the-art fittings for any bathroom. The current collection includes: a single lever faucet and a single lever vessel faucet. The flat lever is equipped with a special lifting mechanism which allows continuous regulation of the water flow. Additions to the collection include a widespread faucet, a side lever faucet and a wall mounted faucet available in both chrome and splendureTM stainless steel. The KWC AVA bath line will be sold exclusively at KWC showrooms across the country for a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) between $650 – $1,075 (depending on product, style and finish).

· INTRO: features the quality consumers expect from KWC products at an attractive price. The sophisticated, intuitive and ergonomic line is distinguished by technological innovations such as a Neoperl® Caché® SSR E swiveling jet regulator, which allows consumers to change the direction and angle of the jet of water to suit their needs. The collection also features a single lever faucet and a widespread faucet. The KWC INTRO bath line, available in chrome or splendure™ stainless steel, will be sold exclusively at KWC showrooms across the country for a MSRP between $345-$645 (depending on product, style and finish).

· ZOE: distinguished by minimalist form and intuitive function, KWC’s ZOE bath collection – available in both chrome and splendureTM stainless steel – was inspired by the Swiss company’s renowned kitchen faucet of the same name. Unlike most bath faucets, KWC ZOE Bath features a spout that rotates 45 degrees in either direction from its center point. This makes it easier to rinse residue from the basin without splashing the countertop and its surroundings. Incorporating a single lever faucet, widespread faucet and wall mounted faucet, ZOE has every amenity required to complete a beautiful bathroom. The KWC ZOE bath line will be sold exclusively at KWC showrooms across the country for a MSRP between $750 – $1,105 (depending on product, style and finish).

As part of its continued commitment to innovation, Pfister^® is expanding its filtration options into the showroom with the new Lita^™ Filter Faucet with Xtract^™ Filter Mode. This addition to Pfister’s filter faucet offering continues to make home water filtration sleek, easy and convenient. With the new Pfister Xtract Filter Mode and GE^® 2X High Flow Filtration System, Lita provides great-tasting filtered water straight from the faucet at unrivaled speed.

The new Lita Filter Faucet has the ability to deliver filtered water two times faster than most conventional drinking water systems, due to its integrated filtration design and technology. The filtration system also reduces contaminants such as chlorine, mercury and pesticides, helping to fight against the more than 300 chemicals found in tap water throughout the country*. With recent headlines of lead contamination in public drinking water sources, it is critical for remodelers, designers and builders to understand consumer options for effective home water filtration.

The Lita Filter Faucet can filter water two times faster than most conventional drinking water systems, and can reduce contaminants such as chlorine, mercury and pesticides.

“Thanks to a design that integrates the Xtract Filter Mode directly into the handle, clean filtered water is right at the fingertips of the user,” said Tim Burdett, Marketing Manager for Pfister. “Consumers can easily switch from tap to filtered water simply by pushing the faucet handle back, eliminating the need for other devices like filter pitchers or cumbersome faucet mount filters.”

While Lita emphasizes water quality and convenience as major selling points, the filter faucet also makes kitchens more efficient. Unlike traditional filter devices that can clutter counters and take up valuable refrigerator space, Lita gives that space back to consumers and saves money in the process. For an average family of four, compared to the cost of bottled water, the faucet can provide cost savings up to $1,550 in three years.

Additional features include:

• Three-Function Sprayhead: Spray, pause and stream functions

• 1- or 3-hole configuration: Installation versatility

• AccuDock^™: Advanced sprayhead docking technology, ensuring the sprayhead stays firmly in place when docked

• Pfister Pforever Warranty^®: Covers finish and function for life

Lita with Xtract, offered in Chrome or Stainless Steel finishes, will be available in showrooms across the U.S. in April 2016 with an MSRP of $625 to $675. For more information, visit www.pfisterfaucets.com.

Des Plaines, IL: Sigma30 is the latest addition to the Geberit family of flush plates for Sigma in-wall toilet systems. An award winning European design, the Sigma30 is available in two versions: an elegant single-button model with stop-and-go flush that stops flushing at a touch and a water-saving dual flush model with two large, rectangular buttons. Both styles are available in a range of finish options to match any décor.

The stop-and-go flush model offers four finish options, a large button for easy flushing and is made of durable die-cast zinc. The water-saving dual-flush model offers six color options and is made of high-quality injection-molded plastic.

“Geberit offers architects and interior designers the widest range of flush plate styles available for maximum creative freedom. Once the in-wall system is installed only the flush plate is visible, so the flush plate design plays a key role in the overall look of the bathroom,” says John Fitzgerald, Vice President of Marketing for Geberit North America.

Geberit flush plates combine visual elegance with smooth operation and are available in a wide range of flawless finishes and styles. The Sigma Series offers the widest range of options available from any in-wall toilet system manufacturer.
