Gerber Plumbing Fixtures LLC Anticipates Demand for Distinctive Powder Room Faucets

WOODRIDGE, IL - February, 2007 - The powder room has evolved to become a room with more cutting-edge style than other rooms in the home. Anticipating this trend, Gerber Plumbing Fixtures developed the Pomeroy™ lavatory faucet, a distinctive design that provides versatile style in the powder room.

Available in a single-handle configuration.

Well-suited for new construction and remodeling situations, Pomeroy styling coordinates with a variety of design themes and textures. The shape is both contemporary and traditional with smooth lines that flow seamlessly from stem to spout to handle. The one-piece body facilitates cleaning, and the single-hole mount simplifies installation.

"People are being much more experimental in the powder room," said Kevin McJoynt, director of marketing for Gerber. "There's a tendency for homeowners to ask for funky wallpaper, edgy accessories and trendy fixtures in the powder room because it's easy to have some fun in a room that can be updated often," added McJoynt.

Available in a single-handle configuration, homeowners, designers and plumbing professionals will appreciate the quality craftsmanship of Gerber products including solid cast brass construction and reliable ceramic cartridges.

Available in chrome and brushed nickel finishes, Pomeroy lavatory faucets also feature copper waterways and reliable ceramic cartridges.
