NEW BRANTFORD™ BATH COLLECTION BY MOEN

TRANSCENDS TIME WITH TRADITIONAL STYLING

“Traditionally styled faucets continue to dominate the faucet style category; especially in the lavatory.” This was a key finding from a survey of over 170 Showroom Consultants and Builder Design Center Associates that attended Moen Incorporated’s annual INSPIRE design seminar. To meet this growing demand for traditional styling, Moen is pleased to launch its new Brantford™ Collection. Featuring a consumer-preferred high-arc spout and soft lines in a traditional style, the Brantford Collection offers a beautiful look that will give today’s bath timeless appeal.

“Moen’s research has shown that consumers today are looking for the elegant, traditional styling of a high arc faucet, combined with exceptional quality and a timeless design,” said Mike Reffner, senior product manager – Moen bath. “The Brantford Collection accomplishes this with a timeless design in a range of finishes that will never go out of style.”

Distinguished by its detailed design and unique lever handles, the Brantford Collection offers a two-handle centerset faucet, two-handle widespread faucet, a Roman tub faucet available with three- or four-hole diverter options and a Garden tub faucet.

And the benefits of this new collection extend into the shower as well. The Brantford suite features tub/shower, shower only and valve only trim options to be used with Moen’s Posi-Temp® valve.

To create a completely coordinated look in the bath, matching Brantford bath accessories include a robe hook, a paper holder, a towel ring, 18- and 24-inch towel bars and a decorative tank lever.

Of special interest to builders, the Brantford accessories are created with Moen’s Pro+Fit™ installation system. This unique design uses a single-screw mounting system, reducing by half the number of mounting screws required. No set screw is needed; instead, the products lock into place on the newly designed mounting post.

Moen’s innovative M●PACT® valve system is available on a number of Brantford products, including the widespread, tub/shower and three- and four-hole Roman tub faucets. This revolutionary valve architecture makes it easy to upgrade the style of the bath without replacing any faucet plumbing. A common valve design allows for a faucet change in just minutes: simply unscrew the handles and spout, lift them out and replace them with the new style. It is just as easy to change the shower trim.

The Brantford Collection is available in a variety of finishes, including Chrome, LifeShine® Brushed Nickel and Oil Rubbed Bronze.
