Emtek Transitional Brass Paper Holder - Bar Style

That's the point of the rosette option. The bar holder is ordered with one of twelve rosette shapes: Regular, Small Regular, Disk, Small Disk, Oval, Rectangular, Modern Rectangular, Square, #8, Quincy, Watford, and Wilshire. Pick the same rosette shape and finish family used on the door hardware and the bath trim reads as one set. This is how you standardize a whole house or a model unit without hunting for a lookalike.

No. The Emtek bar style carries the roll on an open bar between two rosettes, so the roll comes off the end. If you want the roll captured on a spring tube, look at the Orca Hardware 2752 or the Orca Hardware 4852 Blakely, both of which use a plastic tube. Euro style open-arm holders, like the Orca 3655 Swirl or the Orca 5255 Ripple, load the same easy way the Emtek does.

The Deltana 88DTPH toilet paper holder is a solid brass holder in the 88 Series, so it holds to the same brass substrate as the Emtek Transitional bar-style holder, which is brass with a wall mount. The difference is in the mounting hardware family: the Emtek Transitional holder is ordered with a rosette selection, including Regular, Oval, Square, Rectangular, Disk and Watford, so the base can be matched to the rest of the room's trim, while the Deltana 88DTPH carries the 88 Series base shape only.

A single post holder is the one to use in a tight return, and the Deltana 55D2001 and Deltana BBN2001 are both single post toilet paper holders. The Emtek Transitional brass paper holder is a bar style holder with a 3-3/8 inch projection, so it needs clear wall on both ends of the bar. In a corner or beside a vanity where only one end can be anchored, the single post Deltana 55D2001 or BBN2001 fits the opening the bar style will not.

A bar style holder spans between two wall rosettes with a bar carrying the roll, so it is supported at both ends. A single post holder cantilevers off one mounting point, like the Deltana 55D2001 or the Deltana BBN2001. Two-point mounting is the more forgiving choice in a rental or high-traffic bath, where people tug on the roll. Double post designs, such as the Deltana 98C2001 classic double post, are the same two-point idea in a different look.

Seven: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass is the one to think twice about in a shared or commercial bath, since it has no clear coat and will patina with handling. Everywhere else it's a look people buy on purpose.

Emtek's Transitional bath hardware is a residential line. For multi-family unit interiors, model homes, hotel guest baths, and single-family it is the right kind of product. For a public restroom taking institutional abuse, spec commercial washroom accessories instead, typically stainless with concealed or theft-resistant mounting.

Two choices: finish and rosette. Finish is one of seven, rosette is one of twelve shapes. Projection is fixed at 3-3/8 inches, so there is no size decision to make. If you are ordering for several units, lock both choices down in writing so the second shipment matches the first.

It is not the same thing. The Orca Hardware 3655 Swirl and the Orca Hardware 5255 Ripple are euro toilet paper holders, in the 36-Swirl and 52-Ripple series. A euro holder is an open arm that the roll slides onto, with no second anchor point, so the roll changes without removing a bar. The Emtek Transitional brass paper holder is a bar style with a fixed 3-3/8 inch projection anchored at the wall rosette. If a specification calls for a euro roller, the Orca 3655 or 5255 is the form that meets it, not the Emtek bar style.

The Deltana 98C2001 is a classic double post toilet paper holder in solid brass, 98C Series. A double post carries the roll on a spindle between two separate posts, each anchored to the wall on its own base. The Emtek Transitional brass paper holder is a bar style, so the roll rides on a continuous bar between two ends, and the wall bases are chosen from the rosette range such as Quincy, Wilshire, Modern Rectangular and Small Disk. Both mount to the wall in brass; the visible difference is a continuous bar versus two discrete posts.

The Orca Hardware 2752 toilet paper holder comes with a plastic tube, as does the Orca Hardware 4852 Blakely toilet paper holder. A plastic tube roller is a common choice for high turnover units because the tube is the wear part and it is a stock item to swap. The Emtek Transitional brass paper holder is a brass bar style with seven finishes, including Flat Black, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Satin Brass, Satin Nickel and Unlacquered Brass, and twelve rosette shapes, so it is the option when the holder needs to match a specific trim program across a unit.

Transitional, which is the middle ground between traditional and contemporary, and Emtek files it under an American Classic theme. In practice the rosette choice drives the read: Square or Modern Rectangular lean contemporary, Oval and Regular lean traditional, and Disk sits between them. Same holder, different room.

The Emtek Transitional brass paper holder is a residential brass bar style built around one projection, 3-3/8 inch, with the finish and rosette selected per program, which is what lets a single model repeat across a run of rooms in matched trim. Where the program instead calls for a maintenance friendly roller, the Orca Hardware 2752 and the Orca Hardware 4852 Blakely both use a plastic tube, and the Deltana BBN2001 is a single post holder for openings with only one anchor wall.
