by jbs121009j3 — December 11, 2009—Kohler Co., global suppliers of kitchen and bath design and technology, recently announced its sponsorship of this year’s Charmin Holiday Restrooms in New York City’s Times Square, by providing water-conserving toilets and faucets in the bathrooms.
The 20 public restrooms will feature the Kohler Barrington Pressure Lite 1.1 gallons-per-flush (gpf) toilet, which reportedly utilizes one-half gallon less water than a standard toilet. The Barrington toilet carries the WaterSense label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
All bathroom faucets are from the brand new Kohler Margaux collection, featuring a joystick-style single control function for easy on-and-off and temperature control. Each of these 20 faucets feature low-flow aerators, taking the amount of water delivered from 2.2 gpm to 1.5 gpm. Paired with the Kohler Parigi pedestal sinks, this faucet-sink combination is an ideal solution for smaller-sized bathrooms, says Kohler. Additionally, Kohler is providing Margaux decorative bathroom accessories, including robe hooks and wall sconces.
Since 2006, approximately 1.5 million visitors from some 100 countries and all 50 states have experienced the 20 clean, deluxe, ADA-compliant, family-friendly and fully staffed restrooms that offer a highly engaging and interactive Charmin experience with additional luxuries such as stroller parking, baby-changing stations, seating, a family photo area, a giant toilet photo op, a digital graffiti wall, and more. Attendants are on staff to service and clean stalls after every use.
