"Our latest collection of faucets offer livable style," stated Tim Maicher, Director of Marketing for BLANCO. "When we say livable style, we are referencing style that leads trends while integrating into any kitchen design. At the same time, we are talking about the faucets' functionality. Faucets are the jewelry of the kitchen. They must be attractive, but they are also the most abused fixtures in the kitchen. That's why we engineer BLANCO faucets to last, to use less water, to provide unmatched cleaning and to be as easy to use as they are to maintain."

The new faucets designed by BLANCO will increase water savings by 32% versus standard 2.2 GPM faucets. The MERIDIAN and SONOMA 1.5 GPM faucets also exceed requirements set forth by CalGreen, (California's Green Building Standards Code).
