Product Focus: Commercial Bath
Monterrey Lavatory Faucet
American Standard
Newly added to the Monterrey line of commercial faucets, the Single Control Centerset Lavatory Faucet is offered in two versions: one with a 1.5 gpm aerator, the other with a 0.5 gpm multilaminar spray, both of which save water without compromising pressure and coverage. Its washer-free ceramic disc valves help prevent wasteful dripping, and its solid cast-brass body is finished in chrome.
DuraStyle by Matteo Thun
Duravit
Award-winning architect Matteo Thun puts his modern stamp on an upscale bath collection aimed at the commercial market. The DuraStyle series, noteworthy for the weightless or floating appearance of its fixtures, includes full or hand-rinse washbasins (shown), wall-mounted or floor-standing toilets, urinals, bathtubs, storage units, and even mirrors with integrated LEDs (also shown).
Ara Bath Collection
Delta
Clean, rectilinear lines are the hallmark of this new bath suite from Delta. Offered in chrome or the company's Brilliance Stainless finish, the line includes single or double faucets, hand showers and wall-mounted showerheads (shown), tub fillers, and towel bars. All the fixtures are WaterSense labeled: the showerheads provide up to 40% water savings and faucets up to 32% over standard units.
HDR120 Sensor Activated Clean Dry
TOTO
TOTO's HDR120 hand dryer demonstrates that designing inside the box can also yield attractive results. Its simple white form measures a compact 12” x 21½” and conceals sensor-activated double-sided blowers that generate 208 mph of air speed. Side panels and a tray prevent excess water from dripping to the floor. The energy-efficient unit operates quietly—at 57dBA—compared with other commercial dryers.
Hybrid Flushometer
Kohler
Taking cues from its own sensor-faucet technology, Kohler's latest flushometer incorporates a hybrid layered capacitor that collects small electrical discharges from the battery every time it's activated, enabling the cell to maintain high-level power storage. These hybrid energy cells are estimated to provide up to 30 years of maintenance-free use compared with the three-to-five-year lifespan of typical flushometer batteries.
Custom Shower and Toilet Stalls
Carvart
Custom glass and hardware systems company Carvart offers solutions for a variety of architectural-interior needs, including frameless wet-space partitions such as shower stalls (shown) and toilet cubicles. This installation features Carvart's Color Line of tempered and laminated glass panels, which are attached to each other and the floor with anodized aluminum fittings.
