PISCATAWAY, N.J. (March 12, 2014) ― DXV by American Standard is a new flagship luxury bathroom and kitchen brand that celebrates and draws on the storied plumbing company’s rich history, now in its 15th decade.
Available exclusively in showrooms, the DXV portfolio will launch this spring with more than 70 unique product and style offerings curated in a revelatory manner.
“American Standard has always been an active participant in the ongoing development of product aesthetics and design,” said Margaret Monteleone, director of luxury product marketing for American Standard. “In an expression of our true heritage, we have taken the most influential design movements since our founding in 1872 and used them as a framework around which to organize the DXV portfolio of products.”
DXV by American Standard comprises a premium selection of meticulously crafted fixture and faucet collections curated into four broad movements: Classic (1880 – 1920), Golden Era (1920 – 1950), Modern (1950 – 1990), and Contemporary (1990 – today).
Each of these movements contains one or two bathroom fixture suites — tubs, toilets, sinks, and lavatories — and complementary faucet collections that reimagine and reinterpret historically significant designs.
More than reproductions, these exquisite products blend the artisanal character of the past with the aesthetic and performance sensibilities of today. At launch, the DXV portfolio ― which will continue to grow and evolve ― also includes a collection of kitchen sinks and fittings, as well as the AT Series, an advanced smart toilet and bidet seat that combine outstanding contemporary design with state-of-the-art technology.
“Fixtures are the cornerstone of the DXV brand,” Monteleone noted. “Faucets are the complementary element. They add variety and nuance, or contrast and complexity to the ensemble, just as accessories do to a suit or dress.
“And like fashion, fixtures and faucets from different movements, collections and sources can be combined to create excitingly personal spaces in which timeless designs from disparate eras fall into an aesthetically stimulating dialogue, Monteleone continued.
Decade 15
In a unique move, DXV will be establishing an online and print community for designers, architects and creative individuals to discuss their experience with the products in the real world and spark inspiration among their peers. To start the conversation, DXV is collaborating with an inaugural group of six well-established designers — all influential bloggers — to create six highly individual spaces drawing on the DXV portfolio of products.
The designers will blog about their projects, which will be published in Decade 15 print magazine as well as on the DXV website. They will not only share information, insights and inspirations generated by using the various DXV collections, but also engage in a dynamic two-way conversation with other professionals and interested consumers about the larger universe of good, beautiful design and how DXV’s philosophy and aesthetics fit into it.

Sloan introduces the Senso™ electronic hand washing faucet, which delivers a unique, illuminated rainfall pattern of water and provides intuitive controls for a highly tactile and visual experience.
The faucet, intended for high-end commercial environments such as hotels, restaurants and corporate restrooms, offers a refined balance of elegance and efficiency. A welcome light invites restroom visitors to begin washing. Visitors may set the water hotter or colder by adjusting the faucet’s feather-light touch sensors, which are lit with red or blue LEDs to indicate temperature. Senso’s distinctive rainfall water flow is also illuminated and shuts off automatically when hands move out of the sensor range.
Choose from a water-efficient 0.5 gpm or 1.0 gpm multi-laminar spray. Senso’s low-voltage line power eliminates batteries. Click here for specifications.
The Senso matches perfectly with Sloan Designer Series lavatory systems for upscale and contemporary restrooms.
Sloan is the world’s leading manufacturer of commercial plumbing systems and has been in operation since 1906. Headquartered in Franklin Park, Illinois, the company is at the forefront of the green building movement and provides sustainable restroom solutions by manufacturing water-efficient products such as flush valves, electronic faucets and soap dispensing systems, sink systems and vitreous china fixtures for commercial, industrial and institutional markets worldwide.

Chicago Faucets, manufacturer of the finest commercial faucets available, brings high quality to everyday applications with its new 640 Series kitchen sink faucets. The new faucets with integral supply stops feature durable brass construction and ceramic mixing valves for trouble-free operation.
The Chicago Faucets 640 Series is intended for use in the same applications as the popular 540 Series of 8″ wall-mount kitchen faucets, but these new models include hot- and cold-water supply stops built right into the body. This allows maintenance personnel to service the cartridge or spout without turning off the main water supply: the water can be shut off at the point of use.
Solid ECAST® brass, chrome-plated bodies, which meet lead reduction laws, provide unmatched durability. Easy, hassle-free installation for simple retrofits is accomplished with 1/2″ NPT female inlet arms adjustable for 6-1/4″ to 9-3/4″ centers. There are 22 standard models in common configurations. Plus, models are available without spouts: drop in any interchangeable Chicago Faucets spout to create a faucet that precisely matches your commercial sink.

KBIS 2014 Welcomes More Than 31,000
Design & Construction Week Attracts More Than 82,000
(Las Vegas, NV) – February 26, 2014 – The Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), the largest North American platform devoted to the kitchen and bath industry, welcomed 31,092 industry professionals to this year’s show – nearly a 145 percent increase year over year – at the Las Vegas Convention Center, February 4-6, 2014. This year KBIS collocated for the first time under the umbrella of Design & Construction WeekTM with the International Builders’ Show (IBS), owned by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), and VISION 2014, the International Window Coverings Expo (IWCE).
KBIS 2014 attracted 500 exhibitors, including 135 new exhibitors as well as the return of industry leaders such as Viking, Elkay, MasterBrand Cabinets, Electrolux and LG Hausys Surfaces, to name a few. Rounding out the lineup were the 87 KBIS exhibitors known as Loyalty Leaders, who have exhibited consecutively at KBIS for at least the past six years. KBIS is owned by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA).
“We knew coming into Las Vegas that we were about to experience something ground breaking, and we weren’t disappointed! The energy on and off the show floor far exceeded our expectations,” said John Petrie, NKBA 2014 president. ”The co-location of KBIS and IBS allowed exhibitors and attendees to benefit from insights and product innovations serving the entire residential design & construction industry.”
Emerald Expositions, producers of KBIS, has already booked more exhibit space for KBIS 2015 than was sold in all of 2014. Additionally, KBIS rebooked nearly 20 percent more exhibit space on-site vs. pre-sales for the 2014 event. To accommodate the overwhelming demand from industry leading brands, another 500,000 GSF of exhibit space has been added for the 2015 event. KBIS will now encompass the North and South Halls at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
“This year’s show saw more top brands, more new products and more innovation,” said Brian Pagel, VP Kitchen and Bath Group, Emerald Expositions. “We’re honored to provide the stage for leading industry brands to connect directly with their targets. Our goal is to continue to amplify and diversify our exhibitor base, making our attendee experience richer and more engaging. As we continue to evaluate our planned footprint for 2015, we look forward to welcoming more brands to the KBIS floor.”
Events on and off the show floor were in high-demand. Attendees traveled to various Las Vegas venues to experience innovative product applications as well as seminars and networking events.
“Our Voices From The Industry program was sold out before the show opened,” said Bill Darcy, NKBA chief executive officer. “We increased our sessions this year to meet demand for our learning offerings, and we are already looking at how we can expand offerings at KBIS 2015.”
Combined attendance under “one pass” was over 82,000 for both shows (KBIS and IBS), with 1,700 exhibitors in more than 650,000 sq ft of combined convention floor space. The premier Design & Construction Week attracted almost 540 members of the media, as well as 24 additional “supporting organizations” from across the design & construction industry.
KBIS 2015 will take place January 20-22, 2015, in the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV, collocating again with the International Builders’ Show (IBS) and VISION 2015 (IWCE) under the banner of Design & Construction Week.
