As we begin to countdown the weeks until the 2017 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show, which will be held in Orlando from Jan. 10-12, editors’ attention is fixed on new industrial inspired faucets, self-cleaning toilets, and smart shower panels that will make their debut at this year’s upcoming show.
Don’t miss these six new bath products as you head to the show floor in January.
Moen
Moen introduces new contemporary product offerings, including the sleek Genta faucet. The Genta model features curved edges and a unique flat spout with a twisting ribbon flow for a more modern feel. The full suite offers faucets, tub and shower valve components, and matching accessories. The faucet has a 1.2 gallon per minute flow rate. All are currently only available in a Chrome finish.
Moen also introduces a new bath suite inspired by modern industrial design. The line mirrors the look of exposed piping with a square-shaped, high-arc design for the faucet spout, which includes a swiveling feature for easier cleaning and use. The faucet line comes in a single-handle design and two, two-handle options with a 1.2 gallon per minute flow, and includes eco-friendly shower heads and matching accessories. Moenpro.com.

American Standard
The new ActiClean Toilet from American Standard cleans itself—users simply press a button and let the system do the rest. The self-cleaning toilet combines the power of VorMax flushing technology with a cleaning system that is fully integrated into the model, eliminating the need for manual cleaning or clip-on solutions which can damage toilet bowls. The cleaning control panel is hidden under a flip-up lid on the tank, where users can activate the system and choose from two cleaning cycle options—a one-minute quick Clean or a ten minute Deep Clean. The Vormax technology fills the whole bowl with cleaning solution and then siphons the cleaning agent out and rinses the bowl with clean water. americanstandard-us.com. Booth W1547
Gerber
Gerber introduces a new line of decorative bath products with a modern traditional style. The Hinsdale suite includes a 1.28 gallon per flush toilet and two pedestal sink options. The toilet feature’s the brand’s QuietClean flushing system, which uses a dual-siphon jet technology for powerful bowl cleaning. Gerberonline.com. Booth W1315
Grohe
The rainshower Smartcontrol system is designed to control and store desired shower settings, giving individual users their preferred water temperature and volume setting on command with the touch of a button. The device delivers preferred, customized temperature to the user within fractions of a second and keeps the temperature consistent for the duration of the shower, while a combined push-and-turn button starts the flow of water and controls water volume throughout. grohe.com/us.

LENOVA
Salvatore SULLA
LENOVA’s new Thermostatic Shower Panel stabilizes water temperature and pressure even when the showerheads’ different sprayers are used simultaneously. The panel features a rain shower top, multiple sprayers, and a hand-held shower. Traditional shower systems reportedly have a three to five degree temperature variance when switching between sprayers, while LENOVA’s system maintains a temperature within one degree when the water pressure changes. The panel measures 50x 8 inches with a 19-inch shower head depth, and is available in a chrome finish for a retail price of $850. Lenovasinks.com. Booth W143
