INDIANAPOLIS

Continuously striving to meet consumer demand for preferred styles, Delta® reveals the expansion of Venetian Bronze® to the Orleans™ Bath Series and the Leland™ pull-down kitchen faucet. Delta was the first faucet brand to bring a hand-crafted rubbed bronze finish into the mass market. Since its debut in 2001 on the Victorian Bath Collection, Venetian Bronze has gained immense popularity as one of the most highly demanded specialty finishes from Delta.

With numerous design options and the ability to endlessly customize, the home is the best reflection of personal taste and style – and a high percentage of today’s consumers are seeking a traditional look, along with matching specialized finishes. What was once classically defined as “traditional” is subtly evolving each year as new generations reinterpret and modify the look to suit their lifestyles. The Orleans Bath Series and Leland kitchen faucet in Venetian Bronze both work beautifully within today’s traditional movement, which is all about refined, sophisticated spaces in rich, luxurious hues.

“As the traditional style taps into a sense of heritage and longevity, matte and distressed finishes help enhance the handcrafted, authentic feel of the space,” said Susan Fisher, director, brand management, Delta. “Now expanded to the popular Orleans Bath Series and the Leland kitchen faucet, the Venetian Bronze finish provides an interesting and unique touch to any room. Its hand-buffed quality ensures that no two faucets are exactly alike.”

A Full Bath Suite For The Traditional Home

The Orleans Bath Series features a fresh, high-arc tubular design offering a larger spout and hub to add an elegant focal point to the bath. The series includes several options to fit any sink style, including a two-handle centerset with swivel spout, mini-widespread and widespread lavatory faucets.  The series also includes matching three- and four-hole Roman tub fixtures. Tub/shower options allow for a consistent style throughout the bath. 

Now offered in Venetian Bronze as well as Chrome, Brilliance® Stainless, the Orleans Bath Suite is sure to bring a rustic charm to your bathroom.

Brewing Up Some Tea-pot Inspired Style

As the fastest growing faucet category today, pull-down/pull-out kitchen faucets like the Leland pull-down are in high demand. A pull-down is the perfect way to add extra functionality to the kitchen and faucets like these have been reserved for luxury kitchens until now.

Featuring a high-arc spout and two-function pull-down spray head that switches from stream to spray with a simple twist, the Leland kitchen faucet features a magnetic closure called MagnaTite™ which intuitively engages the spray head to its docked position, helping to keep both the faucet and kitchen looking neat and orderly.

The Leland pull-down also incorporates Delta Faucet Company’s patented DIAMOND™ Seal Technology, a breakthrough innovation in water delivery for faucets.  It eliminates leaks and drips from the valve. The DIAMOND valve requires no lubrication, eliminates wear on seals and ensures "like new" operation for life.  Performance tested, the DIAMOND™ valve will last up to 10 times longer than the industry standard. (Industry standard is based on ASME 112.18.1 = 500,000 cycles.)

DIAMOND Seal Technology, which incorporates the DIAMOND valve and one-piece InnoFlex waterways, satisfies California statute AB 1953, mandating that by January 1, 2010, the weighted average lead content in pipes, fittings and fixtures used to convey drinking water cannot exceed 0.25% lead on wetted surfaces.

Leland is offered with and without soap dispenser in Venetian Bronze, Chrome and Brilliance® Stainless finishes.
