KOHLER, Wis. - May 8, 2007 - Sterling, known for its product design and functional excellence, introduces the new Ensemble corner whirlpool bath at the 2007 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas - an impeccably engineered bath with a generous 60-by-60 inch size that comfortably accommodates two people. This roomy design means that two bathers can simultaneously enjoy the muscle-soothing waters that can only be found in a whirlpool.
Ensemble Whirlpool
The clean lines and minimal design of the Ensemble whirlpool bath allow it to work well in any style of décor, and the whirlpool is built to last with Sterling's exclusive solid Vikrell® material. Intended as a corner unit, the Ensemble features a 20-inch integral apron that allows easy access to inner whirlpool components, and its considerable depth ensures complete water coverage and comfort for bathers. The unit has a central recessed drain and overflow, and seven directional and flow-controlled jets that offer a calming massage with their thorough, balanced bubbling action.
"Unlike other units, the Ensemble whirlpool bath is spacious enough to allow two people to unwind together," says Jennifer Jelinek, marketing manager of bathing and showering products for Sterling. "It's both affordable and luxurious addition to any master bath, and the superior construction, combined with the Vikrell material, means it will be enjoyed well into the future."
Available only in Sterling products, Vikrell is a remarkably solid material that is totally different from conventional gel coat fiberglass. To create it, cutting-edge technology is employed to produce a single solid piece through compression molding. Vikrell material is quite durable and will not crack, chip or peel. It is surprisingly lightweight and easy to install, and the end result is seamless and utterly watertight.
In addition to its advanced engineering, Sterling has added several thoughtful touches to the Ensemble corner whirlpool bath to further enhance the bathing experience. The whirlpool features a comfortable contoured neck rest, and a slip-resistant bottom provides an essential measure of safety. A sizeable deck allows for faucet installation from several spots and provides ample storage space for bathing accessories. The smooth, high-gloss finish is long-lasting and easy to clean.
The Sterling Ensemble whirlpool bath is available in three colors - White, KOHLER® Almond and KOHLER Biscuit - with the color molded into the product for a lasting, even appearance. In addition to the new spacious corner whirlpool, the Sterling Ensemble family of bathing and showering products includes other models of whirlpool baths, oval baths, bath/shower modules and shower receptors with wall surrounds. With this well-designed, reliable and functional family of bath and shower products, it's easy and affordable to create a complete master bathroom solution for homeowners.
