Panasonic WhisperGreen Ventilation Fans boast 30 to 40 percent higher energy efficiency as well as variable speed control and delay off timer. These fans can run at a low 30 to 70 cfm until the fan is turned on and then boost up to 80 cfm when the fan is switched on or activated by the sensor.

MTI Whirlpool’s new Teak Shower Tray is designed to soften the look of the shower floor. It is crafted of Burmese teak and fits in all MTI shower bases. Teak is one of the few woods that includes natural oil to retard water and keep it from warping, cracking or becoming brittle.

Danze introduces its Sirius Collection, designed to represent modern art. It is available in both single- and two-handle lavatory models, and accompanied by a full suite of tub/shower, custom shower and Roman tub fixtures.

Bear Creek Glass introduces its hand-blown glass tiles that match its sinks or as stand-out design elements on their own. The tiles can also be used as a backsplash or accent tiles and are available in cobalt, ruby, amber, ice blue, pink and ivory. Other options include beveled edges, tortoise shell, luster patterns and gold leaf designs.

Fish n Flush from Aqua One Technologies is a two-piece aquarium toilet tank for the bathroom. It fits most two-piece toilets and turns the bathroom into the center of attention. The aquarium piece can be easily removed for cleaning without obstructing the toilet from working.

The Vintage kitchen faucet from Graff is designed to bring the era of a traditional farmhouse to the kitchen. It features a lever handle on top, a long swooping spout and vegetable sprayer.

The new 5112T console lavatory from Decolav includes open shelves and two movable drawers. It measures 41 3/4 in. wide by 21 5/8 in. deep by 36 in. tall, making it compact enough to fit in snug spaces.

Samsung Staron introduces its Quartz product line to its Surfaces Collection. It resembles the look of natural stone but is easier for care and maintenance. It doesn’t require routine sealing and is available in 14 colors.

Ultra Silent humidity sensing fans from Broan control excess humidity and moisture. Fans detect an increase in humidity at the ceiling making it effective at protecting bathrooms from mold and mildew.

The new Alsons brand IN2ITION hand shower/shower head shower system delivers a new level of comfort, convenience and versatility. The ergonomically designed IN2ITION combines a traditional hand-held shower with five spray settings, and a fixed shower head with an extra-wide spray. The unique 2-in-1 system gives consumers the option to use either the hand-held shower or shower head separately or together for a full-body shower experience. The IN2ITION features a three-way diverter redirecting water from the fixed shower head to the hand-held, or both at one time. It also has five spray functions, including three massage options and an aerated champagne spray. The ergonomic, soft grip handle and dial allow for maximum comfort.

Brizo introduced the Pascal Culinary Faucet with Smart Technology. Combining hands-free and touch control technology, users can activate water flow by either “tapping” the faucet or using the hands-free option. Pascal’s water temperature and flow are set by the faucet’s single-handle manual valve. Water is delivered at the same setting each time when the hands-free, touch, or pull-down settings are activated. Water flow can also activate when the user grasps the faucet’s handle, a function similar to existing faucets.

Bosch now provides another option to its line of coffee products with the new Built-in Benvenuto Gourmet Coffee Machine. Perfect for consumers seeking that built-in look, Benvenuto integrates seamlessly into any style of kitchen cabinetry and saves counter space. The Benvenuto features the Aromaswirl System that regulates temperature control and brewing.
