Delta Adds Venetian Bronze Finish to Two Popular CollectionsConsumer-preferred finish creates custom look for traditional style kitchen and bath products

Indianapolis, IN-- The 2007 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show (K/BIS) will reveal the expansion of Venetian Bronze® to the Orleans™ Bath Series and the Leland™ pull-down kitchen faucet. Delta was the first faucet brand to bring a hand-crafted rubbed bronze finish into the mass market. Since its debut in 2001 on the Victorian Bath Collection, Venetian Bronze has gained immense popularity as one of Delta's most highly demanded specialty finishes.

The Leland in Venetian Bronze

With numerous design options and the ability to endlessly customize, the home is the best reflection of personal taste and style - and a high percentage of today's consumers are seeking a traditional look, along with matching specialized finishes. What was once classically defined as "traditional" is subtly evolving each year as new generations reinterpret and modify the look to suit their lifestyles. The Orleans Bath Series and Leland kitchen faucet in Venetian Bronze both work beautifully within today's traditional movement, which is all about refined, sophisticated spaces in rich, luxurious hues.

"As the traditional style taps into a sense of heritage and longevity, matte and distressed finishes help enhance the handcrafted, authentic feel of the space," said Faye Adams, senior brand manager, Delta. "Now expanded to the popular Orleans Bath Series and the Leland kitchen faucet, the Venetian Bronze finish provides an interesting and unique touch to any room. Its hand-buffed quality ensures that no two faucets are exactly alike."

A Full Bath Suite For The Traditional Home
The Orleans Bath Series features a fresh, high-arc tubular design offering a larger spout and hub to add an elegant focal point to the bath. The series includes several options to fit any sink style, including a two-handle centerset with swivel spout, mini-widespread and widespread lavatory faucets. The series also includes matching three- and four-hole Roman tub fixtures. Tub/shower options allow for a consistent style throughout the bath.

Now offered in Venetian Bronze as well as Chrome, Brilliance® Stainless, the Orleans Bath Suite is sure to bring a rustic charm to your bathroom.

Brewing Up Some Tea-pot Inspired Style
As the fastest growing faucet category today, pull-down/pull-out kitchen faucets like the Leland pull-down are in high demand. A pull-down is the perfect way to add extra functionality to the kitchen and faucets like these have been reserved for luxury kitchens until now.

Featuring a high-arc spout and two-function pull-down spray head that switches from stream to spray with a simple twist, the Leland kitchen faucet also includes Delta's patented twist-and-lock docking mechanism, which holds the spray head firmly in place when not in use. Leland is offered with and without soap dispenser in Venetian Bronze, Chrome and Brilliance® Stainless finishes.
