Your next luxury spa vacation is only minutes away

Turn your bathroom into a private spa retreat with items from TOTO's Guinevere Bath Collection.

No airport security to worry about or long traffic jams to endure, and no tips to dispense. Today's homeowners are discovering that a one-time investment in their master baths can translate into year-round spa escapes at a moment's notice. The new Guinevere Bath Collection, with its relaxed traditional design philosophy, offers an in-home romantic retreat imbued with a sense of timeless elegance. Consisting of a full luxury suite offering - airbath, lavatory, faucetry for the lavatory and bath, shower set, and toilet - this graceful collection infuses any bath with an aura of the infinite possibilities that await in this "in-home secret getaway. "

According to Lenora Campos, spokesperson for TOTO USA, a manufacturer of luxury fixtures, fittings, and accessories, "Transforming a bathroom into a luxurious personal sanctuary is one of today's most popular remodeling projects." She continued. "You can 'get away' and relax, and, at the same time, increase the value of your home. In fact, during 2004, 8 million people remodeled their bathrooms, according to the National Kitchen & Bath Association, and a survey by a popular online remodeling magazine found that upscale bath space remodels, which include luxury fixtures like TOTO's new Guinevere Bath Collection, brought an 86percent return on investment at resale."

SOAK AWAY YOUR

CARES

Since time immemorial, water has been regarded as the great healer. Ancient Greek and Roman cultures were the first that recognized the relaxing and remedial properties of water and of massaging oils into the body. A bath with essential oils is one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce stress and improve sleep. TOTO's 72by 38-inch Guinevere Airbath not only offers a good long aromatic soak, but also provides the opportunity for therapeutic bathing in its luxurious 20inch deep bathing well, which incorporates two additional primal elements - air and light.

The Guinevere's Air Jet System provides 16 jets, placed strategically to target body's pressure points, relieving tension and stress. These jets propel warm air through the water, creating millions of tiny effervescent bubbles that surround the body and caress the skin. Bathers can also enjoy the benefits of chromatherapy, which uses colored light in much the same way aromatherapy uses scent - to stimulate myriad psychological and physical responses.

HARDWARE UPDATES

Small touches - like a change to bathroom hardware -can have a big impact on overall design. The Guinevere Lavatory Faucet and Deck Mount Bath Faucet with Hand Shower reflect the traditional design influences of the past while incorporating modern touches for a look that will remain appealing for years to come. The cross handles serve as a graceful counterpoint to the vertical detailing of the gently flared bases that echo in the spouts to give these faucets a stylish look that echoes a time gone by, but they are engineered for today's active households.

REFRESHING SHOWER

TECHNOLOGY

Luxuriate in the shower without the worry of excessive water use. The Guinevere Shower Set complements the bath and lavatory faucets, providing a consistent design throughout. Its 4-inch showerhead features copious spray nozzles to provide an exceptional showering experience; its slide bar hand shower has a wide strong spray that provides a sensuous deep massage while conserving water.

The Lifekote Polished Nickel finish adds a distinctive formal sensibility to the fixtures throughout the bath, which are also available in Lifekote Polished Brass and Polished Chrome.

FINISHING TOUCHES

With its warmed up traditional elegance, the Guinevere pedestal lavatory rises a commanding 3413 inches from floor to rim, extending TOTO's growing line of comfortable-height products. "Universal-height is becoming one of our standards, which we plan to keep design forward," said Campos. The stylish 27by 191116-inch lavatory mirrors the design of the Guinevere toilet with its vertically flared detailing and gently notched angles. Its generous surface space is perfect for toiletries. Also available as a self-rimming model, it accommodates single hole, 8-inch, or 4-inch faucet centers.

The one-piece Guinevere toilet's skirted bowl is supported with a distinctive column adorned with the elegant vertical detailing and gently notched angles that are the hallmark of this collection. These facets resonate in the tank's lid, which has been molded into a shelf, creating newfound space for tissues or other necessities.

The Guinevere toilet's inner beauty arises from TOTO's new Double Cyclone Flush Engine, which ingeniously marries performance to maintenance. Upon initiation of the Double Cyclone flush, three actions occur nearly simultaneously. First, the primary nozzle - located at the back of the SanaGloss glazed bowl - fires a high-speed stream of water that scours the redesigned concave rim and initiates the water's Cyclone action. Almost immediately, a second water nozzle - located behind the first - fires a second highspeed water jet around the SanaGloss-gazed bowl's concave rim - providing a second rim scour - and 360-degrees of rim and bowl cleansing action. At the same time, the siphon jet, whose power has radically increased by dedicating more water to it, is initiated, and it harnesses the accelerating power of this rapidly rotating cyclone of water for unsurpassed waste removal.

TOTO's Guinevere fullline luxury bath collection's superior performance, and quality craftsmanship will provide homeowners with a worry-free ownership experience.
