Piscataway, N.J. -- American Standard is proud to announce its association with Construction Intervention, an all-new Discovery Channel series.  
         
American Standard donated stylish bathroom sinks, water efficient faucets and high performance toilets to help a trio of New York area business owners overcome various construction project obstacles that are profiled in three upcoming episodes to air at 10 p.m. EST on the following dates:
 
May 28 – The STARS Youth Center in Howard Beach, N.Y.
June 4 – The Inwood Boxing Academy Community Center in Manhattan
June 18 – Brooklyn Pharmacy in Brooklyn, N.Y.
 
Construction Intervention follows Charlie Frattini, New York Construction Expert Extraordinaire, and his trusted team of contractors and designers as they find businesses that are in danger of failing due to botched, delayed or impossible building projects and rescue them from their construction woes.  
                                                          
“We are pleased to help struggling businesses succeed with a total bathroom solution that has lasting style and works better, and also saves water and money for the owner,” says Jeannette Long, general manager of e-commerce and marketing for American Standard Brands.  
        
American Standard donated 11 Cadet® 3 High Efficiency Toilets (HETs), which use 20 percent less water than standard 1.6-gallons-per-flush toilets, and have been independently rated to flush 1,000 grams of solid waste. The Cadet 3 HET was also selected for these three commercial applications because of its permanent, antimicrobial EverClean® surface that helps the fixtures stay cleaner longer by inhibiting the formation and growth of stain and odor causing bacteria, mold and mildew on the surface.
         
In addition, American Standard provided 10 sinks, including the Ravenna® lavatory sink, which is particularly suited for commercial applications because of its sleek European styling and generous shelf area for accessories.  
         
Several WaterSense®-certified Moments™ bathroom faucets were also chosen for their water and cost savings, award-winning design and flawless performance.
