Gerber has expanded its well-known and highly regarded Avalanche product line to include two new sink and pedestal combinations.

The simple lines and understated styling of the new Avalanche products offer an easy way to complement almost any bathroom decor. Now available are a petite sink (22-3/4” x 18-7/8”), standard sink (25-1/4” x 21-1/4”) and matching pedestal.

The sinks are both drilled with single hole, 4” or 8” faucet configurations (faucets sold separately).

“The Avalanche product line has grown to be an industry benchmark in recent years on the toilet side of our business,” says Lovin Saini, senior product manager for Gerber. “We’re excited to offer these sink and pedestal combinations to make it easier for our customers to create an entire suite of products if they wish.”

The sinks are constructed of vitreous china, have a concealed front overflow and offer a limited lifetime warranty.

Both sink sizes and the pedestal are being introduced in White, with Biscuit coming in summer 2017.
