Lori Kenney and her staff can offer cost saving ways to accommodate the customer’s budget in these challenging, but exciting economic times.
Lori’s father, Ray Palombo started the plumbing supply business,Gloucester Plumbing Supply, that has been family owned and operated for over 40 years. “Plumbers still speak about him,” Lori said.
“”When dimensions and floor plans are brought to the showroom, we can make recommendations to match your needs,” said Lori, who is very knowledgeable and creative when it comes to assisting the customers. She has an eye for color and design.
Leading manufacturers and suppliers such as Kohler, Moen, Grohe, Bertch, Tere- Stone and Swanstone are among the many available selections. American woods are used for the bathroom vanities and most of the packaging come from recyclable materials.
Vessel lavs and sinks made from porcelain, metal and glass are on display as well as multi-outlet showerheads and hand held sprays. -more-
“Green” showerheads and toilets that function with less water are also part of the bath design etc. ’s environmental concern. “Our merchandise runs the gamut from the top of the line to competitively priced fixtures,” Lori said.
Quiet combination bathroom fans with supplied heat, ventilation fans, light fixtures and custom shower doors can be viewed in the showroom along with many other bathroom fixtures. Customers can order items displayed on the floor instead of just looking at a picture.
