Chances are, you’re already familiar with this popular plumbing brand. You can find their products anywhere from your common big-box home improvement store to ultra high-end kitchen and bathroom fixture shops. The reason why Kohler is trusted across the board, for different types of homes and a variety of price points, is simple: quality. Kohler is known to make faucets, toilets, sinks, and other kitchen and bath products that stand the test of time.

According to Ed, there are certain things we all want in a plumbing fixture: beauty, efficiency, comfort, and luxury. Thankfully, Kohler delivers these features and more.

Kohler’s presence at Greenbuild isn’t anything new. They’ve been a part of the conference and expo since the very beginning.

“Greenbuild is what we’re all about,” Ed explained to us, further adding, “We’re always thinking about water efficiency.”

At the conference and expo, Kohler presented a slew of new state-of-the-art products including toilets and showers. Together, all these products prove a big point: customers should (and can) have both luxury and efficiency in their bath and kitchen fixtures.

But Kohler isn’t just focused on the customer. Plumbing products must also be manageable for plumbers. A beautiful product that is a struggle to install simply won’t sell! Therefore, Kohler considers the needs of plumbers in the design process, which thrills Ed.

“We have technology for plumbers and contractors to make the job a bit easier."

Kohler has led the way in terms of plumbing innovation since the company was founded in 1873. This year, they’re presenting a number of new products.

One of the products that Ed can’t get enough of is the DTV Prompt Mixing Valve. You may be wondering, what does that even mean? But, it’s actually quite a simple concept. A mixing valve combines the water from hot and cold pipes together to ensure a consistent, comfortable shower temperature. Do you only touch one handle/nozzle when you turn on your bath or shower? If so, it’s because of a mixing valve!

House Tipster's Media Team got a firsthand look at a 20-zone mixing valve and the Korbel toilet, a high-efficiency toilet that uses only 1.28 gallons per flush and features revolutionary 360-degree technology to ensure a full flush wash.

While the Korbel toilet saves water, the Veil toilet series is focused on saving water AND space. Veil toilets have full and half-flush options. Plus, they’re wall-hung with an in-wall concealed water tank. In the end, this can save you up to 6 cubic feet of precious bathroom space!

Out of all of great products, the last one that we know may benefit the House Tipster audience is the beautiful, well-appointed Choreograph shower system. Ed was actually a part of the design team for this and he describes the product as only Ed could.

“Just like a dancer would put together a dance routine, you can put together your own shower stall.”

By mixing and matching materials (even textures and colors) and features such as soap dishes, you literally make your own shower stall.

Kohler is always looking to ramp up their innovations and bring homeowners (and plumbers) exactly what they need. Stay on the lookout for Kohler’s Next Generation Rite-Temp shower valve soon. Now that we have an appreciation for the handy mixing valve, we’re definitely keeping this one on our radar.
