Sterling Accord® Shower Offers Design and Easy Caulkless Installation

Acknowledging the overwhelmingly positive response from both professionals and consumers to the Sterling Accord® bath/shower introduced in 2007, Sterling Plumbing has expanded its lineup of multi-piece fixtures that require no caulk in the seams to include a shower-only model. 

Much like it predecessor, the new Sterling Accord shower ? made of durable and proprietary Vikrell® material ? utilizes Sterling?s “click together” system to ease the task of installation and debuts at the 2008 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show.

The shower features a single pivot point installation system making it a snap to interlock the walls with the base.  The wall clips, in turn, provide an audible click that notifies the installer that they have been installed in the proper position ? one that is snug and water-tight.

“The ?click together? system saves you time on the construction site by eliminating the need to use a tube of caulk on each installation,” said Ginnie Faller, senior product manager of Sterling showering.  “Simply align the wall, pivot it into place and listen for the snap ? that?s it.”

Along with the installation benefits, the Accord shower from Sterling offers consumers a beautifully designed product at a competitive price point.  Drawing design inspiration from traditional Greek and Roman architecture and melding it together with the clean lines of modern design found in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, the Sterling Accord shower provides homeowners a transitional design that blends well with any bathroom d?cor.

Additionally, because the Accord shower is made of lightweight yet durable Vikrell components, one installer is all that is needed to carry these components around the jobsite and easily move them into place during any phase of construction.

Most Sterling bathing and showering products constructed of Vikrell provide abundant built-in storage to house toiletries and bath care products.  The Sterling Accord shower features six shelves that offer generous storage space and are also easy to wipe clean.  Slightly hidden from the view of the bather, the storage columns reduce visual clutter and allow for an unobstructed showering space.

Designed for standard alcove spaces, the Sterling Accord shower is 36 inches deep (front to back), allowing it to stand flush with the popular 36-inch wide baths and whirlpools.  The Sterling Accord shower is available in four sizes ranging from 36-by-36 inches to 60-by-36 inches and has three color options ?white, Kohler Almond and Kohler Biscuit ? with the color molded into the product.

Vikrell material offers exceptional scratch and stain resistance and will not chip, crack or peel.  For additional information on the Sterling Accord shower or any other products, call 1-800-Sterling, or visit the Sterling Plumbing Web Site.
