  • Homeowners are Personalizing Their Bathrooms with Unique, Colorful Sinks
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (1/18/2008)
  • It’s all about “the splash” in the bathroom, says Perry Quick of Metzler Remodeling in Kansas City, Mo. “Everyone wants to make one, wants to be different, so there is no standard on anything anymore.” And there is no better way, Quick notes, for people to express themselves than through their sink choices. “The sink has a new life,” he says. In an effort to make an impact in the bathroom, consumers are requesting a wider range of sink materials, and companies are creatively responding. Kohler, for example, introduced the Iron/Tones cast-iron lavatory collection featuring sinks made from 93 percent reclaimed and recycled iron. The company buys scrap iron, including pieces of old radiators and car parts, and melts it down to create a one-piece sink.

  • Hansgrohe Announces Raindance Connect Shower System
  • ebuild (1/7/2008)
  • Turning your shower into a multi-function retreat has just been made easier and more stylish with the new Raindance Connect from Hansgrohe. Available in chrome and brushed nickel, Raindance Connect is unique because of its innovative, patented, plug-in system and water-conducting showerpipe. This system allows you to click the wand-like handshower into the bottom of the showerpipe to divert the water up through the pipe and into the showerhead. When you are ready to use the handshower again, simply click the device out of the showerpipe. With the handshower acting as a diverter, no supplemental shutoff and diverter valves are needed. Once you connect the showerpipe to a water source (such as a handshower wall outlet or existing showerarm), you can use your existing volume/temperature control to enjoy both the handshower and showerhead, saving installation time and costs.
