New Nitreous China Suites by Gerber Deliver Full Spectrum of Styles and Performance

    Woodridge, IL -- February 2007 -- In the world of decorative toilets and matching vitreous china pedestal lavatories, performance, quality and beauty rarely go hand-in-hand. Now, Gerber Plumbing Fixtures LLC has raised the standard in bathroom design with its new expansive line of vitreous china bath suites, which combine style and elegance with top-quality, high-powered toilets. The three new suites, comprised of Gerber's high-performance toilets and matching fashionable pedestal lavatories, separate the company from the competition and reflect Gerber's position as an increasingly dynamic force in the plumbing industry.

    The Picturesque Suite

    Inspired Design, Quality Performance
    Gerber's vision for creating this line of vitreous china suites stemmed from a commitment to engineer bath suites that not only look elegant, but perform at the same superior level. The three new Gerber suites: the Allerton™, the Brianne™ and the Picturesque™, include high-performance, gravity-fed toilets equipped with Gerber's HP2 or XP3 flushing technology. In addition, each matching lavatory pedestal is sculpted to enhance the bath environment and complement each suite's distinctive design.

    The new Gerber suites are engineered and designed to provide plumbing professionals with affordable and stylish options that they can trust and that the homeowner will appreciate, stated Kevin McJoynt, director of marketing for Gerber.

    Spectrum of Style
    Whether the homeowner's taste leans towards a more contemporary décor, luxury-inspired design or a traditional style, each of the three suites create a distinct look for the bath or powder room.

    By integrating design elements that are attractive to the homeowner, Gerber is setting the bar for functional, smooth design without compromising performance," continued McJoynt.

    For example, the Allerton Suite, identified by clean lines and square edges, bridges traditional and contemporary styles - a perfect solution for any homeowner or homebuilder in the market for a transitional design. The Brianne Suite boldly brings a sense of traditional elegance to the look and feel of a bath or powder room, adding a splash of class to this space. The Picturesque Suite, with its fine beveled edges, has an unique design that is exclusively available in white and carries a touch of luxury through the entire set. The Allerton and Brianne suites are offered in white, bone and biscuit colors.
