Think plumbing features just aren't chic? Think again! Here are three new exciting plumbing elements for your remodeled bathroom.
1. Quiet-Close Toilet Seats: This interesting invention is becoming a “must have” for many homeowners. With a gentle touch, the toilet seat gently, slowly and quietly closes. Yet, there is one drawback: when staying with friends or in hotels, you might accidentally slam down a traditional toilet seat, so be careful.
2. Air Bath Roman Tubs: Conventional jetted tubs, which pump water through pipes, are losing popularity. Also, have you ever noticed that black material that oozes from the pipes after the tub sits unused for a few weeks? New air baths eliminate this potentially unsanitary condition, as water doesn’t remain in the pipes and air is injected into the water.
3. Touch-less Faucets: Have you ever thought about the abundance of germs left on your faucet handles? Touch-less electronic versions can help keep the spout and handles clean and your hands cleaner by eliminating contact with the faucet. We’ve all enjoyed using them in restaurants and hotels and they are great for kids' bathrooms. Shortly, they'll also be available in kitchens.
What new features have caught your eye or offer a welcome convenience for you or your family? As always, we invite your comments.
Wishing you the best,
