When contractors put in commercial restrooms, they don't choose products based on what the ads say. Instead, they look at how well they work, how reliable they are, how easy they are to install, and how long they will last.
"Simple to set up" · "Easy to mount" · "Easy to understand wiring and setup" · "Fast installation time"
In commercial construction, time is money. Products that make installation easier also lower labour costs.
Fewer Callbacks: Dependability After Handover
Activation of the sensor is stable · No false alarms · Water flow that stays the same · No leaks after putting it in

Marisol P., Hospitality Renovation Manager – Scottsdale, AZ
Project Type: Boutique Hotel Powder Room and Spa Restroom Renovation
Installed: 2024 • Reviewed: 2026 • Usage: 19+ Months Across 8 Sink Stations
Use Case
We installed 8 Fontana Cariati touchless swan faucets, product code FS7946AT, in boutique hotel powder rooms
and spa-adjacent restrooms where the design team wanted a statement faucet with hands-free operation.
Installation
The single-hole deck-mount setup was straightforward once basin spacing and spout reach were confirmed.
The swan-shaped body required careful alignment so the faucet looked centered from both the front and side views.
Performance
The motion sensor has responded consistently after final calibration. Water starts quickly when hands enter the
detection zone, and shutoff behavior has remained clean without repeated run-on complaints from staff.
Finish Durability
The ancient bronze finish has held its decorative look through 19+ months of use. A few units show light wipe marks
near the base, but there has been no peeling, uneven discoloration, or visible finish failure.
Maintenance
Maintenance has been limited to routine aerator cleaning, sensor-face wipe-downs, and one temperature-mixer adjustment
after the spa restroom water line was serviced. No recurring leaks or pressure instability have been reported.
Best Fit
Best for boutique hotels, luxury powder rooms, spa restrooms, hospitality suites, and design-forward commercial
washrooms where touchless function and sculptural faucet styling both matter.
Performance Proof Summary
Project type: Boutique hotel powder room and spa restroom renovation.
