Rimless System by Simas - Distributed by AD Waters.
Designed for superior flushing, the rimless system allows for easier, more efficient cleaning and reduced splashing.

Both collections are UPC and WaterSense certified, and also pair perfectly with OLI’s

Lixil Presents "Spirituality of Water" CEU on August 10th.
This CEU will bring the attendees on a vivid journey of the importance and meaning of water to different cultures and eventually showcasing how to bring the health and healing benefits of water and the interaction with products into the home. When designing and specifying a bathroom remodel for a customer, one must take into account the different cultural, spiritual, beliefs and practices of the client. When constructing a building in Hong Kong, Feng Shui plays an important role in placement of walls, products and even the building itself. An important key to remember is that Product placement correlates with architectural designs.
