The Highly Successful Chateau Collection from Moen Features a Great New Style

Moen Incorporated has given its best-selling line of faucets a fresh, new look - improving both style and functionality. The Chateau line - the company's most popular collection - now features consumer-preferred softer, cleaner style lines, high arc spouts and new handle options.

The decision to refresh the line came after speaking with trade customers and consumers, says Moen Product Manager Sandy Rakar. Moen learned through research that consumers prefer cleaner, more streamlined styled faucets with high arc spouts for easier use, access and convenience. The result is a beautiful new design for our most popular faucet line.

Consumers can choose from a variety of handle options, including updated acrylic or chrome knob single handles or new lever handles that are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. All the handles incorporate easy-to-read universal red/blue, hot/cold indicators. The Chateau line includes several one-handle and two-handle faucet styles for the kitchen, bar, laundry and bathroom.

For the kitchen, the Chateau line includes one- and two-handle style faucets, available with a new streamlined side sprayer, offered in a soft white to complement today's color and design trends. New bar and laundry faucets provide the beauty and functionality of Chateau throughout the home.

In the bath, the Chateau line includes one-and two-handle lavatory faucets, 3- and 4-hole Roman tub faucets, bidets, and shower suites with Posi-Temp pressure-balancing control valves.

Like all Moen faucets, the Chateau line contains Moen's patented one-piece washerless cartridge, which means no washers - the most common causes of troublesome drips. The self-contained unit has fewer parts, meaning greater reliability and worry-free performance, year after year.

The redesigned Chateau line will be available in February of 2004 through wholesalers and professional plumbing product dealers.
