We’re pleased to announce a few more useful additions to both our bath and kitchen lines. Attached is a PDF version of the “New Product Guide.” All new product is in stock and available to ship according to standard estimated lead times. However, because it is new product, please anticipate a little extra cushion as prudent.
Our local sales reps should be coming by your showroom over the next couple of weeks with hard copy versions to insert into your existing California Faucets binders.
For your convenience, here’s a brief overview of the new product:
- “Low Spout” Kitchen Faucets
Our award-winning kitchen faucets have been a resounding success, but we see additional opportunity in offering a slightly shorter spout option for each of the series. As you know, our current pull-down kitchen faucets average 18” or so in height with a reach of 9-3/16”, making them a stately and striking addition to any well-designed kitchen. Our new “Low Spout” versions retain the same 9-3/16” reach, but range in height from about 15-16”, depending on series. In sum, they are identical to the existing faucets, but approximately 2” shorter.
Beyond the opportunities this lower spout option will provide for markets that favor smaller profiles (e.g., space limited New York and other densely populated urban areas), it will also give us an additional offering to compete with the general market which has historically been accustomed to the 15-16” height.
The price of these of new lower spout kitchen faucets will be the same as the existing kitchen faucets, so customer choice re: which height to specify will be a purely aesthetic and/or space-oriented decision.
- Ultra-Thin Round and Square Brass Showerheads (6”, 8”, 10”, 12”)
These new minimalist, super streamlined showerheads, in sizes ranging from 6 to 12”, help further round out (and square out!) our extensive line of heads. Because we made the extra investment to produce these heads in brass (rather than stainless steel or lesser materials such as composite metals or plastic) we are able to finish them in any of our 30+ artisan finishes.
- Wall Mount Tub Fillers
Tub Filler Fever just got hotter. While these beautiful tub fillers won’t be dancing like their floor-mounted brethren because they are wall-mounted, they do round out our robust, industry-leading offerings of tub fillers. Now, all of our tub filler series offer a wall mount version.
- 9” Towel Bars
While we continue to sell towel rings, we are seeing the decorative market move increasingly towards 9” towel bars instead. We now offer the 9” length for most of our faucet series. We look forward to adding the remaining series in the near future.
