Cornice moulding
Outwater has created a series of high-density polyurethane cornice mouldings in its Orac Decor, Orac Mylin and Designer’s Edge Millwork Collections that have been specifically intended for use with indirect lighting. Manufactured to accept a variety of cove moulding light fixtures without causing scalloped or uneven light dispersion and illumination, the mouldings can also be used just as readily as a traditional cornice moulding without lighting if desired and are suited for use in virtually any type of commercial and residential construction, renovation or redecoration application. They are primed and ready for painting, glazing or faux finishing; are impervious to adverse climate and weather conditions; and, because of their dimensional stability, will not alter over time. www.outwater.com :: 888-772-1400
Luxury faucets
American Standard’s new water-efficient Portsmouth bathroom collection features the latest water conservation technology, including pending WaterSense-certification for all bathroom sink faucets and the American Standard FloWise showerhead that saves up to 40 percent on water use. To achieve its turnof- the-century authenticity, each design facet—from the symbolic Portsmouth cross handle to the vintage spout detail—has been carefully crafted to reflect an intricate and iconic period piece. The Portsmouth collection is available in polished chrome, satin nickel, blackened bronze, as well as a new, “old world” finish: oil rubbed bronze, which features muted hues and authentic copper highlights. www.americanstandard.com :: 800-899-2614
Tile
Wings, a new trapezoidal tile shape by Stone & Pewter Accents, is available in two formats, straight and offset, in its Sumi-e and hand-poured Marbleized tile collections. Sumi-e, which means “calligraphy” in Japanese, folds streams of brilliant glass pigments into pure, crystal-clear (post-consumer recycled) glass. The pigments bleed into the body of each clear tile of this collection, resulting in a stunning and deep color effect. The post-consumer recycled glass content of Wings ranges from 20% to 70%, depending on the color. The Marbleized Wings collection is hand-poured and will have a certain amount of variation and variegation of color, tone, shade and size. Mesh mounting makes for an uncomplicated installation for both the Sumi-e and Marbleized collections.www.stonepewteraccents.com :: 310-257-1300
