May, 2009 – Delta® recently introduced a high style faucet collection inspired by the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s. The clean lines and geometric forms of the Dryden™ Bath Collection harken back to the glamorous heyday of Hollywood and offer a simple, yet sophisticated, design.

"When combined with multiple finish options, Dryden creates style flexibility in a variety of settings -- from old-world to arts and crafts to modern," said Frank Foster, product development manager, Delta. "With a range of lavatory, Roman tub, shower options, and coordinated accessories, the new Dryden line offers a full complement of bath products to create the perfect look in any home environment."

The transitional square styling of the Dryden Bath Collection will appeal to consumers looking for simple lines that reflect their personal style and offer a clean, uncluttered look for their home. With a riser that evokes the essence of a Roman Tuscan column, the classic lines of the single-handle vessel lavatory create a timeless, yet sophisticated bath.

Lavatory options include a single- and two-handle centerset, mini-widespread and widespread. The Dryden lavatory faucets are labeled by the EPA 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 WaterSense label makes it easy to find and select water-efficient products with a tag backed by independent testing and labeling.

A three-hole Roman tub and a Roman tub with matching hand shower add functionality to the collection. In the shower, the Delta MultiChoice® Universal valve offers maximum flexibility by giving homeowners the choice of single- and two-function pressure balance, and a dual function thermostatic control step-up option. In addition, the square raincan showerhead invites a drenching, invigorating shower experience.

The Dryden Bath Collection is available in Chrome, Aged Pewter, Brilliance® Stainless or Venetian Bronze®; Dryden's finish options transform the faucet to make it a versatile choice for any bath.
