in a Two Popular Styles
North Olmsted, Ohio… According to Style at Home magazine, freestanding tubs were listed as one of the top five bathroom design trends in 2013. To capitalize on the growing popularity of these tubs with both consumers and designers alike, Moen is pleased to introduce a new collection of freestanding tub-filler faucets, a completely new platform from the number one faucet brand in North America.
Available in two of Moen’s most popular collections, freestanding tub-filler faucets will be offered in the traditionally styled Weymouth® suite in both a wall-mount and floor-mount option. A floor-mount option will also be available in the modern Arris™ suite.
“Gone are the days of oversized whirlpool tubs,” said Michael Poloha, wholesale bath product manager, Moen. “Instead, today’s master bathrooms tend to feature freestanding tubs, often as a showpiece or focal point of the room. Our collection of freestanding tub-filler faucets adds the perfect finishing touch to a beautiful bath suite.”
The ornate Weymouth tub filler features an exquisite hand shower with an antique design. The faucet is available with cross handles with porcelain inlays. For a more modern flair, the Arris tub filler has distinctive styling and crisp, cylindrical, geometric shapes. Both are available in Chrome and LifeShine® Brushed Nickel and offer an optimum flow rate for quick tub filling.
“Not only are the Moen tub fillers beautiful on the outside; there’s an equally strong story about their inner workings,” added Poloha. “Moen’s installation system allows the tub fillers to be easier to install and considerably more secure than others in the market, eliminating the ‘wobble’ that often accompanies floor-mounted tub fillers.”
For a coordinated and finished design, complete, perfectly matched bath faucet, shower and accessory collections are available with both the Weymouth and Arris suites.
The Arris tub fillers are ADA compliant and offer a limited lifetime warranty.*
