AVAILABLE AT THE HOME DEPOT, THE NEW MOEN® DARCY™ COLLECTION ADDS EXCEPTIONAL BEAUTY TO THE BATHROOM

North Olmsted, Ohio… Blending soft, clean lines and transitional styling, the new Moen Darcy™ bathroom faucet collection instantly brings exceptional beauty to any bath. Available exclusively at The Home Depot, Darcy offers a soft-modern look and water-saving benefits to combine the best of form and function.

“Transitional styling has become increasingly popular in the bathroom,” said Maribeth Kwasniewski, director of retail marketing, Moen. “Homeowners will love Darcy’s compelling design that combines nature’s soft lines and gentle curves – allowing them to achieve an elegant design at any budget.”

Darcy offers the best of style and functionality by featuring a high-arc design for easy hand washing and a beautiful swan-like spout to bring a relaxed feel to the bath. The collection includes a two-handle centerset faucet, available in Chrome ($69)* and Moen’s Spot Resist™ Brushed Nickel ($89)* finishes; and a widespread faucet in Spot Resist Brushed Nickel ($139)*. The innovative Spot Resist finish resists fingerprints and water spots, helping to maintain the brilliance of the faucet for a fresh appearance.

The benefits of this new collection also extend into the shower. The Darcy suite offers a single- handle tub/shower option, featuring a five-function wallmount showerhead for a customized showering experience. The shower option is equipped with Moen's Posi-Temp® pressure balancing control valve which maintains water pressure and controls temperature, and is available in Spot Resist Brushed Nickel.

Additionally, all Darcy bathroom faucets are certified to meet WaterSense® criteria, meaning the fixtures meet the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) guidelines as environmentally responsible and efficient products. The faucets are flow-optimized to allow water to flow at 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm), versus traditional aerators that flow at 2.2 gpm. This provides consumers the sensational water experience they are accustomed to, while reducing water usage by up to 32 percent. The shower option features a flow rate of 1.75 gpm, for a water savings of 30 percent.

Darcy also meets ADA requirements and features Moen’s limited lifetime warranty** to ensure superior quality.
