Adding Style and Sophistication with Delta Dryden #BathroomReno

For our recent bathroom renovation project, we used Delta products because of our positive past experience with their bathroom and kitchen products. I like the spectrum of finishes and styles Delta has. I think the choice of what finish and style we choose to add, changes the feel of our space. 

We were immediately attracted to the Dryden collection when we were planning our bathroom renovation because of its clean lines, and the geometric forms of this collection.

We like the timeless clean, uncluttered feel of this design that has been inspired by the Art Deco period in the 1920s and 1930s. We chose the Venetian Bronze finish, as we thought it would add character and contrast to the lighter tones we chose for the walls and tiles.

For our custom built DIY vanity we added the single handle Dryden faucet. We love Delta's Touch20 technology because of its numerous benefits, so it was an automatic decision to include this convenience to our bathroom. Touch 20.xt goes one step further than the Touch20 Technology because it can be used totally hands free. Touch20.xt Technology uses the Touch20 Technology and Proximity Sensing technology that allows us to turn the water on by simply approaching the faucet's sensing field within four inches or tapping the faucet anywhere on the spout or handle. When the water is turned on by the sensing field, the water shuts off automatically within a few seconds. 

This technology helps save water and energy. I feel after using a faucet with Touch20 technology, it changes the way we think in terms of saving water, as it is so easy to shut off the water when we are not using it even if we have messy hands. It prevents all excuses of leaving the tap open and wasting water. 

This technology also makes cleaning and maintaining the bathroom much easier. Since the tap is activated hands-free or with a light tap of the wrist and forearm anywhere on the spout, messy fingers from soap and lotions does not touch the faucet, and this helps keep the fixture shiny and clean. Since oils from lotions don't touch the faucet, it also prevents us from cleaning or scrubbing the faucet using chemicals. 

Everything we need to install, including a 1 or 3 hole options comes with the faucet. We found the installation simple to follow. This faucet also has Diamond Seal Technology to reduce the chances of leaks, and lasts longer. It has a water efficient flow to save more water per minute because of its 5.6 L / per minute aerator flow and 1.5gpm reduced flow rate. Once you start using this faucet you will see how special it is because of its convenience for everyone in the family from the youngest member to the oldest member.

We wanted our shower stall to have options to meet everyone's need so we placed a hand shower on a slide bar, shower head, and body spray. Using the multi-choice universal rough from Delta gives us options to add different possibilities. The Delta multi-choice universal valve gives us options such as single and two function pressure balance, and dual function thermostatic control step up. 

We decided to install a 6 setting 3 port diverter trim, so we have the option of either using only the shower head, hand shower, body spray or using these in different combinations. 

When we decided the outer parts for our shower system it was quite easy. However, it is not clear which internal parts we need for the fixtures to be functional, so it was helpful to speak with Delta customer service. For the plumbing of our shower stall, we needed the expertise of a friend. 

Both the square raincan shower head and the hand shower we installed has H20 Kinetic technology, which adds a beautiful shower experience. The larger droplets of the water and the unique wave pattern helps retain the water's heat and creates warmer showers. 

This technique of the water coming out of the shower head and hand shower makes us feel there is more water than we are really using. The raincan shower head and the hand shower has single settings, which gives consistent pressure from all spray holes. 

We added a Surface mount body spray that has a 30 degree up and down adjustment, which is wonderful to have in the shower. If you are planning on using the Dryden collection in your home, it can be purchased online and at hardware stores in more than 53 countries.
