Inspired by life: American Standard celebrates 150 years of everyday moments

For 150 years, American Standard has been more than just a name in the bathroom and kitchen industry; it’s become a meaningful presence in many households because of its quality, innovation, and timeless design that celebrate the everyday moments – whether it’s enjoying quiet me-time, completing morning or nightly regimen, or savoring precious moments with loved ones.

American Standard celebrated its 150th year by bringing together valued trade partners, industry professionals, and media friends at the Partner’s Night dubbed “Inspired by Life.” Present at the event (L–R) were event host James Deakin, LIXIL Philippines leader Hermie Limbo, retail and marketing leader Emily Besavilla, water technology APAC leader Audrey Yeo, and global design Asia leader Antoine Besseyre des Horts.

“We are proud to celebrate the 150th brand anniversary of our American Standard brand, honoring a legacy of trust and innovation built on a deep understanding of consumer needs and requirements. We have been improving homes around the world, designing purposeful bathroom and kitchen products that combine dependable yet inviting design with pioneering technologies. The brand refresh in 2023 with the focus on “LIFE. LOVE. HOME ” reinforces our commitment to inspire people to create a home they will love every day.” shared Antoine Besseyre des Horts, leader of LIXIL Global Design Asia.

In the Philippines, the iconic brand has also touched the lives of many Filipino families: “Since its inception in 1875, American Standard has always strived to transform the way people experience everyday living by creating products that are deeply inspired by life. This quality has resonated well with the Philippine market, that is why American Standard continues to be a trusted brand in the country,” explained Hermie Limbo, leader of LIXIL Philippines, carrier of American Standard in the Philippines.

To this day, American Standard maintains the same philosophy through its well-loved products including the Loven Collection – a complete line of bathroom products that are carefully designed to cultivate a space of love and comfort. Each product, from basin and shower mixers to countertop basins and toilets, is designed to mix and match seamlessly.

Likewise, the Acacia Supasleek offers the best of design and technology with its basins and toilet that are designed in sleek lines to create a timeless, modern bathroom. The modern feel of the product is complemented by innovative HygieneClean technologies to ensure our hygiene, safety, and convenience in the bathroom.

Apart from these topnotch collections, American Standard offers product innovations that further elevate the bathroom experience. For example, the e-Lite offer safety and convenience with features such as auto seat & cover, pre-flush & auto-flush that automatically wet the inner bowl for a cleaner flush, deodorizer to neutralize odor, a dryer for hands-free drying in 4 temperature levels and a LED Night light that illuminates that inner bowl.

Another product innovation is the wall-hung Aero-lite – a unique toilet design that sets a distinctive look to the bathroom.

In hand spray innovation, American Standard brings practicality with the DuoSTiX as it delivers two optimal sprays: the Jet Spray which blasts off tough stains perfect for bathroom cleaning while the Hygiene Spray can be used for personal cleansing. It offers Petal Pressure™ for gentle yet robust spray for personal cleansing or PressurePlus™ which enhances pressure for an invigorating shower. The WizFlo which also features the PressurePlus technology is designed with tapered nozzles to boost water flow, so there’s a steady and powerful stream every time one steps into the shower.

American Standard product innovations also address the brand’s sustainability goals. It can be seen in AccuFlo and AccuStream Sensor Faucet ideal for commercial or hospitality spaces as it features a front-facing sensor for intuitive use and low-flow aerators to conserve water when not in use.

Completing American Standard’s product innovation is the Color Fittings that allow customers to customize their bathroom spaces according to their tastes. Customers can choose different finishes for The Acacia Supasleek, Acacia E and Signature Collections, ranging from Polished Cool Sunrise, Brushed Hard Graphite to Matte Black.
