Vent-A-Hood, the company that created the modern residential range hood, is celebrating its 75th anniversary. “Being the first to create or define an industry is a significant achievement,” said Blake Woodall, director of sales for Vent-A-Hood. “But a much greater milestone is being at the very top of your game 75 years later.” When the company opened in 1933, the indoor range hood was a novel idea.

Xylem  |  Booth: S1929

Xylem Introduces the Dual Art Faucet with "articulating" arms that control over-splash by adjusting to your sink style

The DUAL ART "dual articulating" Faucet is the state-of-the-art, patented design by Xylem that couples functionality and style. The concept was born from Xylem's recognition of the need for a faucet that adjusts to various sink styles, from drop-in to undermount to vessel. Unlike conventional faucets that deliver a fixed water stream, DUAL ART adjusts the water stream to any sink shape, angle, and depth via articulating arms so the water stays in the sink bowl and off the countertop and you.
