Wellness is a work of art.

That’s why Hydro Systems, Inc. names their tubs after famous artists, iconic architects, landmark locations, and elements of nature.

Which tub is your favorite?

We know that commercial doors and hardware can get complicated quickly, and it’s natural to have questions along the way. That’s where our Chown Commercial team comes in. We’re here to simplify the process and provide expert guidance. Some of the most common questions we help with include:

• How do I know it’s time to rekey my building?
• How do I pick the right lock for my door?
• The Fire Marshal told me I need fire-rated hardware on my opening. What do I need?
• What is the difference between Grade 1 or Grade 2 hardware?
• I am concerned about security, what additional hardware options can be added to my opening to make it more secure?

It’s not every day a client project lands on the cover of a magazine, so when we spotted Barbara Sumner’s 1950s-inspired Reverie project on the cover of Palm Springs Life, we got a little excited.

For this Indian Canyons home, Barbara embraced a vibrant midcentury modern aesthetic, channeling the playful, colorful spirit of 1950s Palm Springs while seamlessly updating the space with modern functionality.

That’s where Chown came in. We worked alongside the designer to bring in faucets, sinks, bathtubs, toilets, shower systems, lighting, and more; each one carefully chosen to stay true to the aesthetic while delivering on performance.

Featured products include:
Gessi // Inciso washbasin mixer, wall-mounted shower head, handshower & thermostatic diverter
BainUltra // Charism oval freestanding tub
Icera USA // Muse II one-piece high-efficiency compact elongated toilet
VOLA A/S // Three-hole deck-mounted faucet & drain
Hastings Bath Collection // Custom Lamé two-drawer vanity
Visual Comfort // Keating 2-light fixture, Beekman table lamp & Austen floor lamp
The Galley // Ideal Workstation, faucet, hot & cold tap & soap dispenser

We’re proud to collaborate with such talented designers and contribute to spaces that are as thoughtful as they are beautiful.
