ShowHouse by Moen Adds Single-Handle Facuet Option to the Modern Fina CollectionNew Design Presents a Stylish, Water-Efficient Alternative For a Clean, Upscale Look in the Bath

May, 2009-- Homeowners looking for distinguished styling, a clean, uncluttered look in the bath, or the perfect faucet to complement a stylish sink can look no further than the new Fina™ single-handle lavatory faucet from ShowHouse® by Moen®. Featuring soft modern style cues, the beautifully designed faucet also features a flow-optimized aerator for water savings.

"We're finding that homeowners are looking for softer, modern styles featuring smooth lines, curved surfaces and rounded features," said Shawn Hardy, ShowHouse brand manager. "Fina offers a unique combination of modern styling with graceful, elegant details – and now provides homeowners additional design options with the single-handle faucet."

Highlights of the Fina faucet include its high-arc, marquise-shaped spout, lever handles and contemporary-shaped base. The faucet also features a beautiful, sheeting water presentation that complements its modern styling. And while the faucet itself is remarkably designed, it's the story inside the faucet that is equally as important.

ShowHouse by Moen, Fina Single-Handle Faucet

Each faucet in the Fina collection has been certified to meet WaterSense® criteria, meaning the fixtures meet the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) guidelines as an environmentally responsible and efficient product. Each new faucet features a flow-optimized aerator that allows water to flow at 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm), versus traditional aerators that flow at 2.2 gpm. This new aerator provides consumers the sensational water experience they are accustomed to, while reducing water usage by up to 32 percent.

In addition to style and water efficiency, the single-handle faucet features the new 1255™ Duralast™ cartridge. This new, state-of-the-art cartridge is just another example of how Moen continues to lead the faucet industry in innovation. The compact cartridge allows for exceptional design of the single-handle faucets, while providing the consistently smooth handle feel and the highest levels of quality and durability for the life of the faucet.

The Fina collection also includes a two-handle, widespread lavatory faucet, a wall-mount lavatory faucet, a Roman tub faucet, tub/shower and shower-only trim options to be used with ShowHouse's Posi-Temp® valve, vertical spa trim to be used with the ¾-inch ExactTemp® Thermostatic valve and a seven-inch rainshower showerhead with Immersion™ technology. A bidet is also available.

Adding the finishing touch to the Fina suite, which is available in Chrome and LifeShine® Brushed Nickel finishes, is its coordinating accessory collection. Matching bath accessories include a robe hook, 18- and 24-inch towel bars, a 24-inch double towel bar, pivoting paper holder, decorative tank lever, towel ring and a glass shelf.

Our innovative M•PACT® valve system is available on a number of Fina products, including the widespread and wall-mount lavatory faucets, bidet, shower systems and three- and four-hole Roman tub faucets. This revolutionary valve architecture makes it easy to upgrade or remodel the style of the bath without replacing any faucet plumbing. A common valve design allows for a faucet change in just minutes: simply unscrew the handles and spout, lift them out and replace them with the new style. It's just as easy to change the shower trim.

Fina faucets meet ADA requirements for the physically challenged.
