Introducing the SIGMA FLO by SIGMA Designer Faucetry;
an innovative system to experience fresh, filtered water from your
bathroom faucet. Often, getting filtered drinking water requires a long
trip to the kitchen or a second faucet, but now drinking water is
available at your fingertips. The SIGMA FLO system can be added to
virtually any 8" widespread faucet, regardless of handle design. Simple
push fittings and adapters included with the system allow for easy
connections with most filter systems. SIGMA FLO allows you to provide
your clients with the filter system of their choice.
GROHE,
part of the LIXIL Corporation, recently added a large-diameter,
multi-function showerhead to the mid-range price categories. The new Euphoria 260 showerhead is
distinguished by its size, a sleek, contemporary design and chrome
plated spray face. Created in GROHE's signature contemporary styling,
the generous 10-inch Euphoria 260 showerhead includes an innovative
three-zone design for customized showering comfort. By simply turning
the center button on the showerhead face, the user can change the spray
from a powerful, concentrated Jet spray, to a wider SmartRain spray for
an energizing yet relaxing effect, to a broad Rain spray for full body
coverage. Exclusive GROHE DreamSpray technology maintains the precision
of the spray pattern by distributing water evenly to all nozzles, to
further enhance the showering experience. Available in 2.5 gallons per
minute (gpm) and water-efficient 1.75 gpm flow rate models, the Euphoria
260 showerhead is EPA WaterSense-certified and is compliant with the
CEC regulations in California. This modern showerhead is equipped with a
½-inch metal ball joint - which makes it compatible with all standard
shower arms - allowing for easy upgrade of existing showers.

Alexander® and Elements® decorative cabinet hardware to make it possible
to coordinate metallic accents throughout the home. The hooks, which

umbrellas:

Artelinea introduced DUALITE, a revolutionary finish used for the new DAMA COLLECTION of
bathroom furniture. Dualite unites two rear colored sheets of glass in
a single element, which is extremely adaptable and extremely safe.
Dualite has superficial finishes and customized colors, and the finish
combinations - gloss/gloss, crystal gloss/silk, crystal silk/ silk and
silk/gloss crystal - of the new style are available in 8mm only. The
Dama Collection is the extreme level of the "all in glass" product by
Artelinea, which enhances the use of Dualite, thus combining experience
and design. The rationality used for drawing basin units is minimized by
the internal composition of drawers and open compartments - which can
be freely combined - and by the possibility to match different colors,
thanks again to Dualite.

Looking for a way to turn your bathroom into a spa-like retreat?
Consider replacing your old built-in tub with a luxurious new
freestanding one. MTI Baths
makes it easy with two new tub models that will retrofit in a 66"
alcove. Offered in white or biscuit, matte or gloss finish, the tubs can
be ordered as a soaking tub or as a therapeutic air bath. Both are
constructed of MTI's signature one-piece SculptureStone® material; which
is 100% solid, non-porous and stain, mold and mildew-resistant, making
cleaning and maintenance easy.
- The brand's new version of the Alissa
(pictured) meets the popular desire for a 66" tub. With the same, clean
and simple lines that are proportioned as the larger 72" freestanding
oval bathtub, it features an integral pedestal and integrated slotted
overflow. The new Alissa model 231 measures a compact 64-5/8" long x
33-1/2" wide x 21-5/8" tall, yet with MTI's single-wall SculptureStone®
construction, the bathing well is incredibly spacious.
- The new Elise 230
model is a spacious, organically-shaped bathtub with as small a
footprint as the Alissa. With the same shape and proportioned as the
larger 72" model, this latest version of the Elise tub also meets the
popular desire for more compact tubs.

Watermark Designs is kicking off a year-long celebration honoring one of its most popular products: the Brooklyn faucet collection.
When Avi Abel met with Drew Stuart and Adam Rolston of Incorporated
Architecture & Design (Inc.) about a project in New York, they
weren't fully aware of the significance that their collaborative design
and resulting collection would ultimately have. As the faucet celebrates
its 10th year, it symbolizes everything that Watermark Designs
represents. Designed and manufactured entirely in Brooklyn, there was
never a doubt as to what the collection would be named: Brooklyn. The
original design was inspired by mid-century gate valves and garden hoses
used throughout New York City. The Brooklyn collection remains the
finest example of Watermark Designs' ability to manufacture industrial
artifacts that emulate the artisanal borough from which they hail.
Emblematic of its namesake city, the faucet was part of a display in the
"Made in New York" installation at the Museum of the City of New York's
South Street Seaport Museum. As Brooklyn turns 10, Avi Abel decided to
honor to the faucet by teaming up with Watering Minds, an organization
whose sole mission is to provide clean drinking water to children in
Haiti. Throughout 2018, Watermark Designs will be donating a portion of
Brooklyn collection proceeds to this charity.
Following the success of the Brilliance® Luxe Gold™ finish in the Litze™ Kitchen and Bath collections, Brizo

Odin® Bath Collections. This expansion provides additional architecture
