American Standard Adds New Chapter to Bathroom Reading With Free
Booklet Filled With Design Tips and Fun Facts PISCATAWAY, N.J.,
June 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bathroom reading -- everyone
knows what it is and many do it, but nobody talks about it. Now,
American Standard has literally written the book on bathrooms --
and for bathrooms -- with Behind the Bathroom Door, a free 20-page
consumer booklet featuring everything from advice on how to design
a trendy bathroom, to facts about Americans' bathroom habits, to a
bathroom history timeline. Contributing to this newest reading fare
is Carter Oosterhouse from TLC's Trading Spaces. "Consumers are
getting more involved than ever in home projects, especially the
bathroom," says Oosterhouse. "With Behind the Bathroom Door,
American Standard provides a behind-the-scenes look at the
bathroom, giving consumers the practical know-how for making their
bathrooms more comfortable and stylish. There are small changes
that can make a big difference in your bathroom." Did you know that
Ben Franklin brought the first bathtub to the United States in
1790? Or that most toilets flush in the key of E flat? Readers can
learn about these and other unique facts in Behind the Bathroom
Door, which consumers can order online at
http://www.americanstandard-us.com/ or by calling (800) 899-2614,
ext. 1887. Consumers can also use the booklet to determine which
American Standard toilet is right for them, based on who is using
it and how often. For example, a children's bathroom needs a
higher-performing toilet than a guest bathroom. "With Behind the
Bathroom Door, we want to share our passion and expertise about the
bathroom in a fun and unique way," says Jeannette Long, director of
marketing communications. "We want to help consumers not only make
their bathrooms more comfortable and convenient, but also show them
how everyday things like toilets and sinks have evolved to become
more efficient and effective." American Ingenuity at Work Through
Behind the Bathroom Door, readers will learn about new products
from American Standard that are making life better and more
convenient. For example, the new EverClean(TM) finish on faucets
makes it possible to effortlessly remove dried-on water spots and
dirt with just one wipe. The new Cadet 3(R) toilet also features an
EverClean glaze that inhibits the growth of stain- and odor-causing
bacteria, mold and mildew on exposed surfaces. American Standard is
also helping homeowners reclaim their weekends from those
longer-than-expected house projects. There are now faucets that
come complete with a Speed Connect(TM) drain. The drain has
one-third the parts of a traditional drain, which means one-third
the install time. And the Cadet 3 toilet also comes with a Speed
Connect kit. With Speed Connect, installing a new faucet or toilet
takes 30 percent less time than installing comparable products. Who
likes to be poked by those pesky whirlpool jets when you're trying
to relax away your day? American Standard has added exclusive
ComfortJets(TM) to its new Evolution(TM) and Lifetime(TM) series of
whirlpools. These jets are flush against the tub, making them more
comfortable and easier to clean. The tubs also feature the deepest
soak available since the overflow drain is located at the top. And
they come with a worry-free limited lifetime warranty that includes
free in-home service if needed. A Day in the Life Readers also get
to take a peek into the bathrooms of several American Standard
consumers, including the winner of last year's American Standard
Ugliest Bathroom Contest, Suzanne Summers. Summers shares her
family's experience in transforming their hippie bathroom into a
sleek, trendy oasis. Atlanta salon owner Bobby Hammons talks about
how his Champion(R) one-piece toilet combines sleek style with
smart flushing performance. Get Reading! To receive a free copy of
