A client for a Medical Office Building has product standards they want us to use. One of those is Miami Carey toilet accessories, but I am unable to find any information on them. In my yahoo search, it looks like Miami Carey may have combined with Nutone, but the Nutone web site does not have toilet accessories. Does anyone have current information on Miami Carey or if they even exist anymore? Thanks. |

Miami Carey is no longer in business in any form. Apparently they were purchased by Nutone about 9 years ago, and Nutone dropped the Bath Accessory line around 5 years ago (it was being marketed under the Halmark line). |

I might add that Miami Carey was a residential-grade line of accessories. I would probably not have spec'd them for an office building. |

Need I say that the client in question was a developer? We specified our regular commercial quality toilet accessories for that project and told the developer that we couldn't find information on the Miami Carey products. |

Perhaps you could specify something from the Home Depot "Pro Book". A developer required that I select products from that book, because "its good stuff". |

Shows you what they know! That's where I would probably part company. Just do what the school districts do - get the stuff (cheap plastic stuff) for free from some paper company and then pay through the nose for the paper! |
