Green. Gorgeous. And great prices.

(80475000)FH8717C-617 (4) Who says green can’t be gorgeous? Check out these faucets, part of Rona’s private label line called Uberhaus. We’re talking the kind of high-end style you’d see at a bath boutique at consumer-friendly prices.

More good news? These elegant fixtures, which come in a variety of finishes, are also lead-free, which by definition means they have not more than a total weighted average of 0.25% maximum lead content on wetted surfaces.

I’ve been impressed by the degree to which Rona is expanding  its green offering, which now includes environmentally friendly Eco products and an Eco-Responsible line, vetted by the International Chair in Life Cycle Assessment at the École Polytechnique de Montréal, which looks at the impact a product has throughout its life, from manufacturing to disposal. They also have a cool online tool that includes fact sheets on individual products, while a project section offers eco-friendly tips for renovations, so that homeowners can balance style and sustainability in any room of the house.

I'll be showing off some of these faucets at my seminars at the International Home Show, Thursday at 6 p.m. and Saturday at 4 p.m. I may even give one away. Hope to see you there!
