| NEW OIL-RUBBED BRONZE FAUCET FINISH FROM KOHLER OFFERS OLD-WORLD AUTHENTICITY WITH REAL-WORLD VERSATILITY |
|
KOHLER, Wis. – Feb. 7, 2007 – Drawing upon the growing tendency of homeowners to select a dark, textured faucet finish to blend within the bathroom’s décor, Kohler Co., a global leader in kitchen and bath design, introduces the Oil-Rubbed Bronze finish at the 2007 International Builders’ Show.
Boasting a traditional appearance, this finish is a perfect complement to the Early Georgian appeal of the Devonshire™ bathroom faucet line and accessories. Illuminated by distinctive copper highlights, the dark brown-black Oil-Rubbed Bronze recalls the craftsmanship of old-world artisans, adding authenticity to traditional bath designs.
Through its versatile aesthetic and warm tones, the finish
complements a variety of popular KOHLER lavatory colors. The eye-catching appearance provides an alternative to bronze faucet finishes with lighter hues, such as Vibrant® Brushed Bronze or Vibrant Brazen Bronze. Adding an alluring and romantic feel to any bathroom environment, the overall nuanced dark tone accentuates the faucet design lines and details.
Achieved through a powder-coating process, the Oil-Rubbed Bronze finish provides depth of color in a lasting design solution that won’t change over time. “Looking at our consumer research, we find that the most important characteristics of a faucet finish are durability and design,” says Keith Kometer, director of product marketing for Kohler Faucets. “The Oil-Rubbed Bronze finish offers homeowners the classic charm without the worries of the finish declining.”
The Oil-Rubbed Bronze offers homeowners a new and attractive finish option that is initially available on the Devonshire bath/shower faucets, accessories, fittings and showering components, but will be extended to other products.
Kohler Co. offers a wide variety of faucet finishes matching all designs and tastes. The Oil-Rubbed Bronze joins the KOHLER family of faucet finishes, including Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Vibrant Polished Nickel, Vibrant Brushed Nickel, Vibrant Hammered Nickel, Vibrant Brushed Bronze, Vibrant French Gold, Polished Chrome with Vibrant French Gold Accents, Vibrant Polished Brass, Polished Chrome with Vibrant Polished Brass Accents, Satin Black, White and Biscuit.
