July, 2009 -- Grohe, the company known for premium plumbing fixtures and quality German engineering, is packaging both in a design that accommodates nearly all budgets and blends into any décor. Arden, a collection of lavatory faucets, is ideal for those sprucing up their spaces, as well as for contractors and builders looking to offer quality, yet affordable, fittings in a design appealing to everyone.

Arden features a relatively traditional design with a slight contemporary silhouette. The tastefully-articulated decorative elements of the Arden line are minimized to suit any décor, making the collection perfect for homeowners seeking a design that can adapt to changing tastes.

Grohe's Arden Series Lavatory Faucet

Beyond its good looks and appealing price position, Arden also is available in Grohe's WaterCare line of ecologically-conscious products. The Arden WaterCare model delivers 30 percent water savings without the need to purchase separate parts or mechanisms to transform the faucet into a low-flow fitting. Arden WaterCare lavatory faucets also are certified by the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) WaterSense program.

Available in chrome or brushed nickel finishes, Arden can be paired with lever or cross handles. The mini wideset faucet is ideal for powder rooms or other small bathrooms, and is especially well-suited for replacement installations. The collection also features a coordinating Roman tub filler, tub spouts with and without a diverter, vertical spray bidet and pressure balance valve trim.

Arden and other Grohe products are sold through designer showrooms nationwide and select online retailers. Specific showroom locations and retailer Web sites are available on the Grohe Web site. For more information, visit www.Groheamerica.com.
