Available at the home depot, New Moen® vale™ collection

adds a touch of luxury to the bathroom

North Olmsted, Ohio… Everyone deserves a luxury bathroom, and the best way to create one iswith beautiful, high-quality fixtures. The newVale™collection from Moen, available exclusively at The Home Depot, features a touch of elegance and a unique design that will bring a high-end, updated feel to the bathroom.

“Traditional design continues to be one of the most popular decorating styles in the bathroom,” said Maribeth Kwasniewski, director of retail marketing, Moen. “The Vale suite allows homeowners to obtain the classic style they love andbringa luxurious feel to the bath.”

Vale offers timeless styling and is available in a two-handle centerset faucet in Mediterranean Bronze ($129)* and Moen's exclusive Spot Resist™ Brushed Nickel ($109)*– the number one selling spot resistant finish – which helps resist fingerprints and water spots to maintain a brilliant finish; and a two-handle widespread option in Spot Resist Brushed Nickel ($169).*

Additionally, Vale faucets are certified to meet WaterSense® criteria, meaning the fixtures meet the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) guidelines as environmentally responsible and efficient products. The faucets are flow-optimized to allow water to flow at 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm), versus traditional aerators that flow at 2.2 gpm. This provides consumers the sensational experience they are accustomed to, while potentially reducing water usage.

To help inhibit the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew, antimicrobial technology from Microban International, Ltd., a global leader in built-in antimicrobial product protection, has been added into the finish of the Vale bathroom faucets. Microban®**technologies are engineered to work continuously, even between cleanings, to help prevent the growth of damaging bacteria on the faucet finish; helping to keep the faucet finish looking cleaner, longer.

For a custom look in the bath, the Vale collection offers a selection of matchingbath accessories, including a double robe hook, pivoting paper holder, 18- and 24-inch towel bars and a towel ring.

Vale also meets ADA requirements and features Moen's limited lifetime warranty*** to ensure superior quality.
