Bathroom Product Information

American Standard’s Town Square reflects a time passed, simplifies choices.

Ever heard the saying “History repeats itself?” Well, it not only pertains to major historical events and clothing trends, but bathroom trends as well. In fact, many of today’s hottest trends in bathroom design are rooted in the ancient bathing rituals of the world’s earliest civilizations.

To meet consumer demand, designers and manufacturers are creating fixtures reminiscent of a time passed. For example, American Standard’s new Town Square Collection is based on the principles of Shaker and Prairie School design, featuring clean straight lines for a sophisticated, yet comfortable look.

Although the design reflects a bygone era, this completely coordinated collection is for today’s homeowner. With the sometimes overwhelming variety of bathroom fixtures and colors available today, American Standard has simplified the product selection process.

Town Square is the first suite of bathroom fixtures, faucets and accessories designed as one complete solution for new and remodeled bathrooms of any size. “The industry has always launched products, rather than solutions,” said Laurie Breininger, Vice President and General Manager, Americas Plumbing. “But 85 percent of the time, homeowners are doing projects, not replacing products. Homeowners can get overwhelmed trying to make decisions today on so many products that need to last for years to come.”

The collection includes a range of fixtures to outfit your bathroom the way you want it without feeling bombarded with options. Keeping with the simplistic approach, the fixture color options are available in only four colors: White, Bone, Linen and Black. The faucets and accessories are available in the most popular finishes: polished chrome, satin chrome and polished brass.

Town Square was created using American Standard’s exclusive Right Height design, meaning the toilet bowls are slightly higher at 16.5 inches, instead of the typical 14 inches. And the pedestal lavatories are 36 inches high to reduce strain on the lower back while brushing teeth or washing your face.
