Bathrooms get smarter, with style

Devices help conserve water REBECCA KEILLOR FOR THE VANCOUVER VER SUN V One of the biggest trends in bathroom design is all about water savings. Bathroom king Dor nbracht is rolling out a line of WaterSense-certified faucets (for the bathroom and kitchen) in Europe, which will be released in North America early next year. Named Smart Water, these faucets utilize smart-home technology. A typical shower, says Pat Jarvis, VP of sales and marketing for Dornbracht, North America, takes around 15 seconds to a minute to heat up, but most people generally leave it running for lon-
DORNBRACHT
The horizontal shower by Dornbracht means you get to shower while lying down. ger before getting in, which wastes a lot of water. “I have three kids,” Jarvis says. “And every time my kids turn on the shower, it’s like three minutes later and I’m like ‘OK, it’s hot, get in the shower, you’re wasting gallons of water.’ ” Dornbracht’s Smart Water line allows users to turn on their shower or bath with their iPhone or iPad.
“When it gets hot, your iPhone beeps and says your shower’s ready,” says Jarvis. The application also allows for different presets (temperature, pressure, etc.) for each member of the household. In the high-end market of bathroom design, Jarvis says, there has also been a movement away from the traditional.
MAXX BATH
The Utile shower wall solution by Maxx Bath uses polymer panels to give the look and feel of tile, without the maintenance. “Ten years ago, the highend market was 15 to 20 per cent contemporary,” says Jarvis. “ ... (now) it’s closed in at around 40 to 60 per cent contemporary. It’s actually swung to more contemporary than traditional.”
The jewelry industry, says Jarvis, can be credited for spurring the rose gold trend we’re seeing in bathrooms. Dornbracht’s Cyprum line features faucets, towel rings and tissue holders in a rose gold hue.
“Ours is actually 18-karat gold and copper,” says Jarvis. “It actually has real gold in it and makes for a nice finish, a nice look.”
