The VorMax toilet line from American Standard has been named a 2015 GOOD DESIGN award recipient in the bath category for design excellence. This award is presented by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design in cooperation with the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies.

Eliminating the traditional tiny rim holes around the bowl that carry water during flushing, the VorMax flush delivers one powerful jet of water that scrubs the entire bowl completely clean.

These WaterSense-certified, high-efficiency toilets (HET) remove all splatter and clinging waste using only 1.28 gallons of water per flush. VorMax toilets feature a CleanCurve Rim that omits the rim overhang and holes inside the bowl where dirt and buildup can hide, and the brand-exclusive EverClean finish that inhibits the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew on the surface.

“We are thrilled and honored to accept this esteemed recognition from the Chicago Athenaeum for the cutting-edge, high-performance VorMax platform,” said Maha El Kharbotly, chief marketing officer of LIXIL Water Technology Americas, American Standard, DXV and GROHE. “American Standard has a 140-year history of leadership in improving the quality of everyday life for our customers. This legacy of developing stylish bath and kitchen products with progressive technologies like VorMax is reinforced by this revered design excellence award.”
