New Kohler 2010 Bathroom Products

In anticipation of the 2010 International Builders Show (IBS) Kohler has started releasing new products.  Some of the new bathroom products are exciting and sure to be big hits with our customers.

Several new vanities have been released in the Persuade suite.  These vanities are all 24" and offer an intergral top.  These vanities offer simple storage solutions for small spaces, and come at very affordable prices. 

The new Expanse Curved Apon tub allows for more room within a standard 5' tub opening.  A matching curved curtain rod is also available. 

Released late in 2009, the Flipside handshower offers users a unique showering experience by a head that rotates with four different sprays.  The Flipside handshower is now on display in the Norwell and Yarmouth showrooms. 


To see more new bathroom products from Kohler, please visit the New Bathroom Products website.  We will post new kitchen products soon.

Be sure to see the Botanical Gardens sink, featuring a hand painted layout of flowers in black, as well as a tiny ladybug providing a little pizzaz! The new Evenweave apron front sink is sure to be a big hit here in New England.

New displays are coming soon in Yarmouth as well.

Wet Rooms- Too European for New England?

The Wet Room is a popular bathroom design layout in Europe, and become increasingly popular in the United States. A wet room is typically all tiled, with all faucets/fixtures open. Showers may have a glass panel to block general splashing, but the room is really open. This makes a small bathroom seem much more spacious and open.

Some cautions for a wet room-

1. Make sure you have a reputable contractor/plumber who can work the drainage correctly.

2. A handshower is a must- cleaning the tile room will be a breeze with a handshower.

3. Consider resale value- a wet room is a great luxury feature, but if this is the only bathroom in your home, another homeowner may not be comfortable with the open layout.

Our vote is that a Wet Room is not too modern for a New England home, and creates a unique bonus in your home. This design style is also great for a bathroom off a pool, near a mudroom, or anywhere where it would be easy to hose off children.

Tremendous Quality and Style at Competitive Pricing

Grohe faucets are a top of the line faucet. Grohe faucets feature industry leading quality materials, construction, finish plating, and style. For years, getting a faucet of this quality meant paying a premium price. Grohe has now made available several faucets with the same great Grohe parts, but at extremely competitive prices.

The Grohe Arden faucet (pictured above) featurs a solid brass spout and the Grohe Starlight Chrome or Brushed Nickel finishes. A list price of $209.00 in chrome makes this faucet a true bargin! Grohe faucets have a lifetime warranty on the parts and finish, making this faucet a lifetime investment.

Check the Grohe website to see their other great selections, as well as some competitively priced faucets, such as the Eurosmart single lever faucet and the Euphoria handheld showers.

The Design Process- Where to Shop?

Making selections for your new home or remodel can be overwhelming. Just picking a builder or a designer can be a huge process, then comes the product selections. There are hundreds of brands of all sorts of products and the amounts of materials you need to pick can be numerous. A great place to start is your local, specialized home magazines. They have great local resources to find everything you need. Snow and Jones can give you suggestions on where to start, and our showrooms often have issues of local magazines you can take complimentary.

Our first suggestion on where to start for advice is the New England Home Magazine Gold Guide. This pocket reference book lists local suppliers, builders, architects, designers, and specialty craftsman that all have well known reputations for excellence in service and products. New England Home is always a great resource for design ideas and inspiration as well. Stop by or call Snow and Jones Kitchen and Bath Solutions showrooms for the newest issues, or for your own copy of the Gold Guide.
