Ashville faucets feature microban antimicrobial technology

For homeowners looking to improve the functionality and overall style of their bathroom, Moen has the answer. The Moen Ashville bathroom collection, available exclusively at The Home Depot, features expanded faucet styles and accessories providing homeowners classic styling options with innovative benefits. Ashville features sleek lines to create a timeless style and is available in a two-handle centerset faucet ($99 - $119) and two-handle widespread faucet ($159 - $179) in Moen's exclusive Spot Resist Brushed Nickel finish, which resists fingerprints and water spots to maintain a brilliant finish; and in Mediterranean Bronze, a warm hue that coordinates well with today's popular bathroom décor.

"We know that 84 percent of consumers purchase two-handle faucets for their bathroom sinks," said Andrea Conroy, director of retail marketing, Moen. "By expanding our Ashville collection, we're providing additional options for homeowners to update and refresh their bathroom with a classic design and the latest Moen innovations."

To help inhibit the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew, antimicrobial technology from Microban International, Ltd., a global leader in built-in antimicrobial product protection, has been added into the Ashville faucet finish. Microban technologies are engineered to work continuously, even between cleanings, to help prevent the growth of damaging bacteria on the faucet finish; helping to keep the faucet finish looking cleaner, longer.

In addition, Ashville faucets are certified to meet WaterSense criteria, meaning the fixtures meet the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) guidelines as environmentally responsible and efficient products. The faucets are flow-optimized and allow water to flow at 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm), versus traditional aerators that flow at 2.2 gpm. And while conserving water, they deliver the sensational water experience that consumers have come to expect from Moen.

The benefits of this collection extend into the shower as well. The Ashville suite offers a single-handle tub/shower and shower only faucet with nine-inch rainshower showerhead ($154 - $199) in Spot Resist Brushed Nickel and Mediterranean Bronze finishes. The rainshower also features InvigoRain technology, which provides excellent spray force through pressurized channels for an ultimate showering experience.

For a coordinated and finished design, a perfectly matched bath Ashville accessory collection is available in Spot Resist Brushed Nickel, Mediterranean Bronze and Chrome finishes. Accessories include a robe hook, 18- and 24-inch towel bars, towel ring and pivoting paper holder.

The Ashville bathroom faucet collection is ADA compliant and features a limited lifetime warranty.
