From fresh new colors, sculptural design inspiration and peace of mind water alert systems, the world of decorative plumbing and hardware continues to raise the bar each year at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS).
Here is a sample of what to see at KBIS Virtual in February 2021.
Elkay – The Quartz Luxe® Sink in Mint Crème
Elkay Quartz Luxe sinks are designed for superior strength, combining function and fashion and standing up to tough tasks while maintaining beauty. The material is heat proof up to 535°F and stain and smudge resistant, giving the sinks the ability to stand up to everyday wear.
Constructed through a proprietary manufacturing process that combines natural quartz with high performance, these sinks are as strong as they are stylish. The nonporous quartz material is also credited to preventing the spread of bacteria. Compatible with Elkay’s Perfect Drain, which eliminates the gap around the drain for a cleaner sink – no gap means no grime.
Elkay has the largest selection of quartz colors on the market, recently adding the newest color addition – Mint Crème (launched in summer 2020). The fresh mint green has delectable creamy undertones that bring serenity to the home, while capturing the coolness of nature.
Moen – Flo by Moen – Smart Home Water Security System
The Flo by Moen Smart Water Security System offers peace of mind and puts users in control over their water supply system to help detect and prevent leaks, as well as monitor water usage, all from the convenience of their smartphone. It’s comprised of the Smart Water Shutoff, which connects to the home’s main water line and calculates pressure, flow rate and temperature within the home’s water supply system to help detect water leaks and other vulnerabilities. If an abnormality is detected, the device will notify the homeowner – who can turn off the water from the app – or the system can be set to automatically shut off water to prevent catastrophic damage. It also includes the Smart Water Detectors, which are standalone sensors that can be placed anywhere in a house to alert users if, and when, the sensor detects moisture to help prevent water damage and loss.
Kohler – Ironridge Farmhouse Kitchen Sink
With clean, angular lines, Kohler Ironridge complements an array of aesthetics, from farmhouse-traditional to contemporary. Its patented self-trimming design makes the Ironridge an easy update — created to fit a standard sink base and overlap the cabinet face for a gorgeous look. The Ironridge comes equipped with a nine-inch deep basin, providing ample space for soaking and scrubbing large pots and pans without compromising base cabinetry storage below. The offset drain with a sloped bottom allows for easy drainage and clean up. Crafted from KOHLER enameled cast iron in Kohler, Wis., the Ironridge boasts unrivaled durability designed to last for generations. Its industry-leading resistance to chips, cracks, burns, stains and scratches — all backed by a limited lifetime warranty — ensuring an unwavering beauty that never fades.
