Say Goodbye AKER App and Hello Full-Strength New Website!

It is with great pleasure that we would like to inform you that in the upcoming weeks we will be launching a new and revamped AKER website which promises to make your job easier than ever.

While this exciting launch also means that we will be permanently discontinuing the AKER App as of mid-April 2018, we want to reassure you that our new website will be offering you all the same great functionalities that you loved on the App, with even more features for you to discover.

Developed with professionals in mind, our new website will deliver reliable and up-to-date information, which is easier to find. We also improved the search tool for instant results and created new content to help you get your job done right the first time.

The New AKER Website Promises

  • A fully responsive experience that automatically adapts to your device’s screen size
  • List prices on all the product pages
  • A complete line of products that is always up-to-date
  • Improved technical documents
  • And, more…

Going forward, the AKER website will be your go-to tool to access all product information, even when you’re on the go!

Brasstech: Hospitality Projects and New Product Rollouts

I wanted to update you on some new faucet and finish collection rollouts.   https://www.newportbrass.com/products/collections/?new=true

  • Kubic in matte black: Matte Black is the leading trend across residential and hospitality across North and South America.  The mixture of this trendy Matte Black finish and our most successful Ginger collection couldn’t be time better.
  • Malvina: This collection was inspired by decorative architectural elements found at luxury resorts along the Southern California coastline. Malvina’s bold shape highlight its modern design, made in California by master craftsmen.
  • Dorrance: Clean and edgy, Newport Brass’ latest collection interprets the fundamentals of modern design by combining a balanced blend of artistry and made-in-California craftsmanship.
  • Slater and Tyler: The 3-spoke industrial-style handle is forged from solid brass and paired with two spout options.
  • Did you know that our 212 showerhead has 27 finishes vs. our competitors 6?  This all brass WaterSense showerhead style is use heavily throughout the hospitality channel.
  • You will see a short presentation listing some of our hospitality highlights and  projects we were happy to be a part of.
  • Please reach out if you need any help with a project!

NEW // Déco Collection: Art Deco, reinvented // Plus new bathtub

DÉCO COLLECTION: ART DECO, REINVENTED

With its flowing lines and curved finishes, the Déco collection reinvents Art Deco style with a modern twist, bringing softness and simplicity to the bathroom. Smooth textures combined with the warmth of wood accents take relaxation to a new level, immersing you in a world of elegance in the bath.

Design: Joël Dupras, Pierre Belanger and WETSTYLE Design Lab

Key features:

  • Available in 24 to 60 in. lengths
  • Matching wooden mirrors with rounded corners (1)
  • Finished drawers: all wood for Oak and Walnut finishes (2) or wood and White Matte Lacquer combination for Premium Mozambique and Torrified Eucalyptus finishes (3)
  • Drawer handle and vanity legs made of solid stainless steel
  • Déco washbasins also available separately in 2″ semi-recessed or 7/16″ extra slim profiles (4)

LUXURIOUS WOOD AND METAL FINISHES

Déco offers many finish combinations with a range of finishes, including brushed stainless steel (1), satin brass (2) or matte black (3) for legs and handles.

Premium quality oak, walnut, torrified eucalyptus and Mozambique wood as well as several different shades of lacquer –white, stone harbour grey and black – are offered for the wooden cabinets.

STRAIGHT BATHTUB

The Straight bath evokes simplicity, softness and purity, thanks to its sleek lines and rounded edges. These elements come together to create a sensation of lightness, as if Straight were born to become one with its surroundings.

Straight’s dimensions are ideal for small spaces (can fit within a 60” alcolve) and its rectangular, contemporary look, softened by its curves, lends an elegant feel to today’s bathrooms. The bathtub’s subtly inset base adds an extra touch of refinement.

Straight is handcrafted in WETMAR BiO™, a robust, non-slip, thermo-insulating eco-material available in True High Gloss™ or matte finish.

Size: 58 15/16 x 27 15/16 x 21 1/16 inches

UPDATED WHITE COLOR – NOW IN EFFECT

WETSTYLE is happy to announce that since March 1, all WETMAR BiO™ products and white lacquered furniture items are being produced using a brighter “pure white” tone. This change reflects market demand for a more neutral white in comparison to the warm white we have been offering in the past and up to February 28, 2018

As of March 1, 2018, all products using updated color codes -GA (White True High Gloss™), -MA (White Matte) or -DA (White Dual) will systematically be produced in the new white.
