The American Standard hometown newspaper, the NJ Star-Ledger, sent a videographer to report on their NJ-based new product design center. The focus is on toilet design and performance, where American Standard is the US category leader:

Cleveland.com, the online home of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, recently covered the 2012 Noritz Continuous Hot Water Report and also touted the energy savings of tankless water heaters.

The Hot Water Report details the importance of hot, continuous water among homeowners and looks at how American bathing habits range from efficient to excessive. Also included in the report from Noritz are telling infographics about age and gender differences and positive data about homeowner willingness to save energy and reduce strain on utilities.

Reporter Jill Sell noted that “58 percent of consumers would replace a water heater if it meant lowering utility bills and saving energy,” and highlighted the energy savings offered by Noritz tankless water heaters.

This consumer survey was also covered by the Los Angeles Times.

The 2012 Noritz Continuous Hot Water Report and infographic were recently featured in the Los Angeles Times. Findings in the report reveal the importance of hot, continuous water among homeowners and how American bathing habits range from efficient to excessive. The 2012 Noritz Continuous Hot Water Report also includes telling infographics about age and gender differences and positive data about homeowner willingness to save energy and reduce strain on utilities.

“Increased demand, such as frequent showers or simultaneous use of multiple hot water appliances, places a tremendous burden on conventional tank water heaters, which necessarily have a finite storage capacity to meet demand,” says Jason Fleming, marketing manager for Noritz America. “A properly sized tankless heater, however, will never run out of hot water.”

Home improvement blogger Ron Hazelton recently put the ‘No Tools’ Toilet from American Standard to the test. Initially skeptical about the idea, Ron recorded his first installation of the toilet and found it easy to install using nothing more than what came in the box (although he did recommend an optional CD player as a helpful tool).

A wide selection of American Standard products were featured in a colorful and luxurious beach home renovation in the June issue of Carolina Woman. A stainless steel kitchen sink from the Prevoir Collection and JADO Coriander pull-out kitchen faucet complement a modern, high tech kitchen. Meanwhile, each of the three bathrooms feature a different American Standard faucet collection: Berwick, Serin, and a pair of elegant Glance monoblock faucets in the master bath.

The sleek and functional Prevoir Collection of stainless steel kitchen sinks is highlighted in a Woman’s Day feature on contemporary kitchen trends.

The appliance sink, pictured above, features deep, spacious, straight-sided bowls to easily hold large loads of pots, pans, dishes, and glasses. Its brushed stainless steel surface is designed to complement stainless steel appliances, while the drop-in installation style adds to the clean, contemporary look of the sink. A trio of useful accessories comes standard with the appliance sink: a colander and glass cutting board that slide along the ledge of the sink for increased stability and convenience, and a roll-up stainless steel grid to protect the surface of the sink.
