WHAT'S HOT

What's Hot
in Showers
1. THG PARIS has partnered with designer PierreYves Rochon for Le 9, a new collection that is a
contemporary interpretation of the Art Deco style.
The cylindrically shaped howlite handles of Le 9
feature a contrasting shape with the same ﬁnish
as the coordinating showerhead.
2. STEAMIST has introduced a new matte-black
ﬁnish oﬀering, which is now an option within
its line of advanced steam and digital shower
products. In addition to the new matte black,
Steamist's ﬁnish options include brushed nickel,
brushed bronze, oil-rubbed bronze, polished
brass, polished chrome, polished gold and
polished nickel.
3. The SteamVection Steamhead from
THERMASOL delivers ﬂoor-to-ceiling temperature
uniformity. This means consistent and even
temperature zones - no longer variable heat ranges
that typically occur in steam showers. The steamhead
also allows the closest proximity to the outlet,
which avoids intrusion into usable shower space.
4. Originating from the Tuscan area of Italy, the
MOD+ Collection from GRAFF oﬀers handle
cover options in pure marble or 17 brass ﬁnishes.
Customers can mix and match the ﬁnishes,
marble handles and a clip breaching the side of
each handle, which provides better movement of
the piece and a customization option.
5. Now compatible with Google Assistant, Apple
HomeKit and Amazon Alexa, the U by MOEN shower
is a next-generation Wi-Fi/cloud-based digital shower
with three methods of control: voice activation, a
smartphone app and an in-shower controller. It
also is newly available in the matte-black ﬁnish.
6. The new MTSB-6030IFMD shower base from
MTI BATHS is distinguished by transitions that
ﬂow smoothly from all corners and sides into the
shower pan ﬂoor. The drain is available for the left
or right end and is oﬀered in stainless steel or a
white powder-coated ﬁnish. The base is made
with a cross-linked, cast-acrylic construction and
comes standard in a matte-white ﬁnish.

7. Acquaﬁt is FANTINI's ﬁrst shower to oﬀer a double
rain jet. There are 170 anti-limescale nozzles, 25 of
which are grouped closely together in the center to
boost function and enhance the experience. The either
square or rectangular showerhead can be installed
in three diﬀerent ways: recessed, semi-recessed or
surface mounted.

9. LENOVA's shower systems now feature a
Thermostatic and Pressure Balance Shower Valve,
which allows only one degree of temperature
diﬀerence in the outlet water, regardless of the
temperature or pressure change of the inlet water. The
triple-function valve - made of solid brass - controls
water temperature, volume and pressure.

8. The new Avian Bath Collection from DANZE BY
GERBER includes a showerhead with features like
air injection for a high-quality shower at lower ﬂow
rates. Clean, modern lines and distinct edges give the
collection a contemporary yet timeless character, and
the tub and shower trim kits are fully compatible with
the Gerber Treysta Valve.

10. A ﬁrst for the North American market, the
Frameless and Completely Frameless Shower
collections from ASTON now boast a new ﬁnish
option: brushed gold. With this new trim color, Aston's
portfolio of frameless shower doors and enclosures -
like the Coraline with StarCast Glass shown - will now
be available with up to six hardware ﬁnish options.
