DESCRIPTION:

NEO METRO sculpts luxury water and energy-saving bath furnishings out of 80 percent recycled stainless steel. Neo-Metro serves any hospitality or architectural setting with functional, stainless steel artistic plumbing fixtures, made in the USA. With its durable functionality and contemporary look, a hand-welded Neo-Metro bathroom fixture will outlast other fixtures, and never go out of style.

Picture a hotel or restaurant bathroom with a custom-made basin, manufactured from a recycled material, discreetly fitted with a tankless water heater and the most efficient water-saving engineering possible. Add in a low-flow or dual flush toilet, in addition to a waterless or pint-flow urinal. All of these water and energy-saving fixtures are possible from Neo-Metro, with a variety of finishes and powder-coated colors to choose from. Because we research, design and manufacture our own products in North America, customers have the benefit of going to one supplier to get the job done. Further, a majority of Neo-Metro products earn LEED points for new buildings and offer significant reductions in cost and energy use for new or existing properties. In this way, Neo-Metro support a “whole building” approach to commercial sustainability by offering integrated products and solutions to all of a green building’s challenges.
