MENOMONEE FALLS, WI (February 3, 2005) - The multi-height, solid surface Frequency Lavatory System from Bradley Corp. was among the most innovative interior products for 2004, winning numerous design awards.  The Frequency's first-of-its-kind design simplifies the task of meeting ADA height requirements by combining a lower ADA-compliant sink with a higher sink in an unconventional wave design.

"The Frequency System is a new concept in handwashing and was designed in tandem with architects, building owners and interior designers to help meet space and aesthetic needs in restrooms and locker rooms," said Jason Renner, product manager for Bradley Corp.  "This product provides a practical and durable, yet attractive, solution as part of a universal design for all users."

The Frequency Lavatory System received the following honors last year:

The product was chosen as the Design Excellence Award (ADEX) - Platinum Winner 2003.  ADEX is the largest awards program for product design of furniture, fixtures and finishes marketed to the design trade.  Design Journal, the international trade publication for interior designers, architects and facility managers is the sponsor of the ADEX awards.

Buildings magazine selected Frequency for its "Editors' Choice - Top Product Picks."  It was also awarded the Citation of Excellence 2004 for the Innovations Awards Program at the ninth annual NeoCon® World's Trade Fair.  The Innovations Awards Program, sponsored by Buildings and Building Interiors magazines, honors products and services based on how well they solve today's facilities' challenges in commercial, institutional and industrial markets.

In addition, Frequency was given top honors and named the "Most Innovative Application" in the Pinnacle Awards competition held by The International Cast Polymer Association (ICPA) at its annual POLYCON Convention.

The Frequency System is offered in six different models to provide design flexibility - a series of Frequency stations can be combined to create a wall of waves.  One-, two- and three-station options are available.  The lavatory system is made of Bradley's Terreon® solid surface material in a wide variety of custom colors.  Terreon is resistant to stains, burns, chemicals and impact.  

As a group handwashing fixture, Frequency has fewer connections than single lavs and only one waste outlet to help reduce installation time.  Installation is also kept to a minimum because there is just one unit for the standard and ADA compliant lav.  Individual trap covers conceal connections at the base of each station, rather than a solid cover across the entire unit, for a sleeker look.

A specially designed infrared-controlled faucet complements the lavatory, as well as a complete line of coordinating accessories to ensure that soap dispensers, mirrors, shelves, towel dispensers and waste receptacles have the same fluid look.
