Bath Shower Ha Na

BY ROBERT P. MADER OF CONTRACTOR'S STAFF You're not just washing your hands or a dish, you're living a lifestyle and plumbing manufacturers are happy to help. When the home builders met in Orlando, Fla., in January, their show was all about function (April, pg. 39) . The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show , on the contrary, is all about pizzazz. While the show covers everything one will find in a kitchen or bathroom, the 60,000 designers, contractors and remodelors at this year's show in April in Chicago saw plenty of plumbing products . High-tech plumbing Kohler has entered the programmable shower market with its DTV custom showering system . Featuring the DTV Digital Interface and DTV Digital Shower Valve , the product offers customized shower experiences with multiple showerheads, hand showers and body sprays.

While your chances of calling the White House home are slim to none, you can feel as important as the commander in chief — if only for a few days — by staying in a presidential suite. The term is widely believed to have originated in the 1910s during Woodrow Wilson's presidency because of room specifications (some now standard such as an en-suite bathroom) that he required on trips away from Washington. Now, it typically refers to the largest and most expensive living quarters in a luxury hotel. Popular swanky accommodations , running thousands of dollars a night, can be found at the Bellagio Las Vegas — complete with its own indoor garden and fountain; California's The Beverly Hilton — with a library and ornate fireplace; and the Mandarin Hotel New York — with handcrafted rugs and upholstered silk walls . In the Lehigh Valley, the newest posh pad is at the Renaissance Allentown Hotel , a $65 million structure that opened this year in the heart of the city's booming rede...

Building Sep 10, 2009   Share Shower and bath manufacturers are touting eco-friendly advances that won’t sacrifice the spa-like feel. These days, the value of the bath as a haven increases exponentially . Of course water becomes critical to creating a spa-like space that promotes relaxation, and that means showers and tubs take center stage. With shower systems and soaking tubs, there’s no question that people like plenty of water to wash away their cares and stresses. But at the same time, the green trend that promotes water and energy conservation is also impacting design and product trends . With two seemingly disparate trends at play, there’s some debate about what consumers want. “It’s about wellness and rejuvenation,” says Mike Reffner, group product manager for Moen, in North Olmsted, OH. “Consumers [want] an experience that’s spa-like – a bath experience that is a mini-escape.” Lars Christensen, senior product manager for Hansgrohe, in Alpharetta, GA, says that “gree...
