Cleaner & Safer Water at the Source
Delta® is known for kitchen and bathroom fixtures that offer great aesthetics and functionality, but now they're tackling the water that comes out of their faucets, too!

It's easy to install—just connect it to the shower arm that comes out of your wall and attach your shower head on the other side. The filter housing will be available in seven different finishes and you only need to replace the filter about every six months!

Paint That Improves Indoor Air Quality
You’ve heard of low- and zero-VOC paints before, but did you know
Sherwin-Williams® has a zero-VOC product that offers even more? SuperPaint
® with Air Purifying Technology is a zero-VOC product that contributes to better indoor air quality by reducing volatile organic compounds from potential sources like carpet, cabinets, and fabrics*. It can give you a fresher interior at the same time as supporting your design goals—it’s available in flat, satin, and semi-gloss finishes in a wide range of colors.
*The length of time SuperPaint® with Air Purifying Technology actively reduces odors and formaldehyde depends on the concentration, the frequency of exposure and the amount of painted surface area.
