BATHROOM FIXTURES

Kohler Corbelle toilet

The first Kohler toilet to feature its new Revolution 360 flush platform,
Corbelle offers the most complete and powerful flush available. The
brand’s patented AquaPiston canister sends 360 degrees of water
through the bowl, keeping it cleaner longer than a convention flush. The
invention provides reliable power without wasting water.
This WaterSense-labeled high-efficiency toilet uses at least 20
percent less water than 1.6-gallon toilets and is eligible for consumer
rebates in some municipalities. This product meets water savings
requirements for California Energy Commission (CEC), CALGreen, and
Colorado SB 14-103.
Corbelle also boasts CleanCoat surface technology on the interior of
the bowl. CleanCoat bonds to the surface to form an ultra-thin
protective layer that causes water droplets to bead up in the interior of
the bowl. This process makes the bowl surface significantly easier to
clean by preventing bacteria, mildew and hard water mineral deposits
from forming, increasing the toilet’s durability.
The toilet’s sleek design and skirted tramway also promotes
cleanliness, as it eliminates areas where dust and dirt often collect.
This design encourages an easy wipe down to ensure a more hygienic
environment.
The product is simple to install. Utilizing the patented ReadyLock
installation system, the two-piece Corbelle offers does not require
drilling, caulking or special tools.

American Standard

Spectra+ eTouch
showerhead and remote

Water-efficient showering comes to the fore with American Standard’s
Spectra+ eTouch showerhead, which gives full-body coverage while
allowing the user to change spray patterns with a simple fingertip
touch on the outside ring of the showerhead.
The Spectra+ eTouch, managed by hand or remote, is offered as a
standard 2.5 gallon per minute (gpm) model or a water saving 1.8 gpm
option that is WaterSense certified and CalGreen compliant. The
oversized, 7-inch showerhead offers four spray patterns: Drench for full
body coverage; Sensitive for gentle, soothing coverage; Jet for
targeted coverage; and Massage for pulsating coverage. All provide a
heavier water spray when they’re actually using less.
For added ease of use, the included first-of-its-kind Spectra+ eTouch
remote can be mounted on nearly any shower wall to offer convenient,
one-touch control over the spray patterns. This stylish remote
simplifies and enhances shower accessibility for almost any user,
regardless of restrictions due to mobility, height or age.
Both the showerhead and remote control are powered by easily
accessible batteries, removable without use of special tools.
It’s even easy to install. The Spectra+ eTouch remote attaches to a
base plate that is secured to the wall with adhesive tape or with
optional screws included in the package.
