Delta® brings eco-friendly elegance into the home with its latest suite for the bath. The Lahara™ Bath Collection, a new collection of bath faucets and accessories, enriches any home with its sleek lines and stark angles, while also satisfying the demand for a design-forward, water-efficient product offering.

The lavatory faucets feature a 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm) aerator flow combined with a sleek, high arc spout to complement any décor.  The smart, water delivery system maximizes water savings without sacrificing performance.

As a manufacturer partner of WaterSense®, a program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Delta Faucet Company is committed to working with the EPA to actively protect the future of our nation's water supply.  The Lahara lavatory faucets are the first Delta products to be WaterSense labeled. A WaterSense label provides assurance that bathroom sink faucets, such as Lahara (which delivers 1.5 gpm at 60 psi), are approximately 30% more water-efficient than their standard-flow 2.2 gpm counterparts. The WaterSense program makes it easy to find and select water-efficient products with a tag backed by independent testing and labeling.

“The Lahara Bath Collection was designed with water conservation in mind,” said Paul Patton, senior product development manager, Delta. “Our research shows that consumers seek a casual-styled bath collection with water-efficient features at a reasonable price point. The Lahara provides homeowners with an elegant and functional option encompassing style, design and performance.” 

A New “Wave” of Green Products

The name Lahara translates to “wave” in Sanskrit, the classical language of India. With design inspirations drawn from the beauty and bliss created by waves and by the calmness of water, the sleek, hi-arc spout coordinates with any home décor. The faucet personifies the waves of the ocean while also supporting water conservation with its water-saving benefits. Lahara’s defining tranquility complements the casual bath, bringing a stylized look to the room.

Homeowners have the option of a single lavatory with optional 4” center escutcheon, two-handle 4” centerset, 4” mini-widespread, or the 6” up to 16” widespread deck-mount faucets. Rounding out the entire collection with Roman tubs, coordinating accessories and a comprehensive shower offering, the suite is sure to bring a casual yet custom feel into the home.

The unique, one-piece delicately curved handle design of the Lahara tub/shower valve coordinates with Lahara lavatories and Roman tubs, further carrying the look throughout the bath. The 14 series single function pressure balance shower uses a single-function showerhead. The 17 series dual function pressure balance and 17T series dual function thermostatic feature a single-function rain can showerhead for a tropical rainforest-like showering experience.

Through research, Delta found that 70% of consumers prefer a dual-function shower system. Dual-function showers – which allow separate volume and temperature adjustments – provide more control over the shower experience. “For day-to-day convenience, users can leave the temperature control in their preferred position to enjoy shower after shower at the same temperature,” explains Patton.  “They can also adjust the volume control for a soft, soothing shower or a more intense spray.”
 
The Lahara shower system uses the Delta MultiChoice® Universal rough-in valve, which supports pressure balance with temperature control in addition to thermostatic shower options. Delta Faucet Company is the first and only manufacturer to offer the ability to install both pressure balance and thermostatic cartridges in one valve. Pressure balance and thermostatic showers help maintain a consistent shower temperature regardless of water use elsewhere in the home.

The Lahara Bath Collection is now available in these finish options: Chrome, Aged Pewter, Venetian Bronze® and the Delta exclusive Brilliance® Stainless.
