Brizo Adds A Splash of Glamour With New Bath CollectionGreen Meets Glam in the Home with WaterSense Designation

April, 2009 — "Glam" is everywhere – in film, fashion and the home. Personifying this concept of luxury living, Brizo®, the faucet brand for the fashion-forward, introduces its exclusive RSVP® Bath Collection,acomplete bath suite that includes faucets, shower systems and accessories.

Drawing on the influences of Art Nouveau, RSVP features a sensual design that follows the curves of a woman's silhouette. Adding a touch of "bling" with genuine crystal accents, RSVP promises to be a conversation piece in the home.

RSVP's recent designation as WaterSense labeled by the U.S. EPA also affirms its water-savings status.

Glam Jewelry Greets the Home
RSVP infuses an updated sense of early 20th century fashion into home décor with finely crafted details, shimmering textures and sparking accessories. A choice of decorative metal, glass or crystal finialsgrace the top of the lift rod on the bathroom faucet and the Roman tub faucet as well as all the accessories—making this collection true "Jewelry for the Home." An exclusive STRASS® Swarovski® crystal with a traditional rounded design or an angled blue glass finial adds distinctive flair and creates a customized style statement.

"Like an over-sized diamond paired with a classic black dress, today's glamour movement is all about slight indulgences," says Judd Lord, director of industrial design for Brizo. "RSVP, the latest fashion statement for the home from Brizo, was designed to add that touch of elegance while at the same time transcending a variety of today's style categories from traditional, to transitional, to contemporary."

Green Meets Glam
In April 2008, the EPA labeled RSVP lavatory faucets as water-efficient with an official WaterSense designation. The lavatory faucets flow at 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm) (at 60 psi), saving approximately 30% of water over its 2.2 gpm counterparts.

"The Brizo WaterSense label underscores the brand's commitment to water conservation," said Amy Hillsman, senior brand manager. "Our Tresa™, Trevi™, Vesi™, Loki™ and Quiessence™ lavatory faucets also are low-flow, yielding a 30% water savings."

Custom Shower/Tub Options Abound
RSVP offers numerous shower and body spray options, including a medium flow thermostatic custom shower and a high flow Total Escape Custom Shower®. Body Sprays with H2OkineticTechnology® also flow at 1.6 gallons per minute, saving approximately 36% of water over their 2.5 gpm counterparts. A Roman tub with optional hand shower, a tub/shower with a dual-function rain can showerhead and a bidet round out the collection.
