Moen Brings Spa-Like Luxury to the Home With New Flat Rainshower

NORTH OLMSTED, OH--(Marketwire - Jun 23, 2011) - The new Flat Rainshower from Moen^® provides the ultimate at-home spa experience. Featuring an oversized eight-inch spray face, a surprisingly slender profile and Moen Immersion^® showering technology, the Flat Rainshower is the perfect combination of style and substance. Plus, the contemporary rainshower comes in both standard and Eco-Performance models -- providing the consumer with two sleek, high-performance options.

"The bath is evolving with today's modern homeowner," said Jack Suvak, senior director of research and insights, Moen. "Rather than a task-oriented 'closet,' it is becoming more and more of a private sanctuary -- a place for homeowners to renew their sanity and well-being. The Flat Rainshower is the perfect addition to today's rejuvenating bath."

Moen uses the science of biomimicry, exploring nature-inspired innovation, to create the most "naturally efficient" spray coverage possible for the Flat Rainshower. The new rainshower features Fibonacci-inspired, spiral-shaped nozzle patterns to provide full-body coverage that envelops the user in invigorating water sprays, no matter what the setting.

Adding to the Flat Rainshower's appeal, homeowners have the option to choose a standard or Eco-Performance model. The Eco-Performance rainshower features a flow rate of 2.0 gallons per minute (gpm) -- a 20 percent water savings from the industry standard. This model has been certified to meet WaterSense^® criteria, meaning the rainshower meets the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) guidelines as an environmentally responsible and efficient product. The Eco-Performance Flat Rainshower also contributes to the earning of valuable LEED^® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) points in the water use reduction category and meeting CALGreen* requirements.

Standard and Eco-Performance Flat Rainshower models offer innovative Immersion technology -- a self-pressurizing system that increases the force and flow of water delivery, channeling water through the showerhead with three times more spray power than most rainshowers.

Flat Rainshowers are available in today's most popular contemporary finishes, including Chrome and LifeShine^® Brushed Nickel.

*California's Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), requires many new buildings in the State of California to be more energy efficient and environmentally responsible. The comprehensive regulations will achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and water use. The Code has residential and non-residential components.
