Emtek Tuscany Bronze Paper Holder - Bar Style

Wall mount. The Tuscany bar-style paper holder mounts to the wall, so you need solid backing or an appropriate anchor in the stud bay at the location you pick. There is no freestanding or countertop version of it.

It is classified residential. For single-family, condo, or a boutique hospitality bath it is fine, but for a high-traffic public restroom where you want a heavier institutional fixture, look at a post-style holder instead, such as the Deltana 98C Series classic double post or the Sure-Loc Basic 2-post paper holder.

The Emtek Tuscany paper holder is a wall mounted brass bar style holder in the Tuscany collection. If you want a two post holder where the roller sits between two separate posts, the Deltana 98C2001 is a Classic double post toilet paper holder in solid brass from the 98C Series, and the Sure-Loc Basic 2-Post Paper Holder is a two post design as well. The bar style carries the roller on a single continuous bar, so the wall footprint and mounting point spacing differ between the two approaches.

Single post holders cantilever the roll off one wall post rather than spanning between two mounting points like the Emtek Tuscany bar style unit. The Deltana 55D2001 is a single post toilet paper holder in solid brass from the 55D Series, the Deltana BBN2001 is a single post holder in the BBN Series, and the Sure-Loc Brighton is a single post paper holder. Single post units let you load the roll from the open end, which suits tight side walls or a vanity return where a bar would not fit.

Two bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). Both sit in Emtek's Tuscany Bronze collection, so they are the finishes to match if you are running Tuscany knobs or levers elsewhere in the same bath.

That is what it is built for. The paper holder is part of Emtek's Tuscany Bronze collection and is offered in the same Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze finishes used across that line, so bath accessories and door hardware in the same room read as one suite.

A bar style holds the roll on a bar carried between two posts, so the roll is captured and will not slip off if it is bumped, and you generally need the full width of clear wall to mount both ends. A Euro open-post holder is open at one end, which lets you change the roll one-handed and lets you mount it in a tighter spot next to a vanity or in an alcove. If the open type suits the wall better, the Sure-Loc Baden and Boulder wall mounted Euro holders and the Orca Hardware 3655 Swirl Euro are that style.

A euro style holder is an open hook or arm that takes the roll without a spindle, so the roll changes without removing a roller - the Emtek Tuscany bar style holder instead retains the roll on a bar. For euro style, the Sure-Loc Baden and Sure-Loc Boulder are both wall mounted euro paper holders, and Orca Hardware offers the 3655 Swirl Euro and the 5255 Ripple Euro. These are common in multi-family and hospitality turnovers where housekeeping swaps rolls quickly.

The Emtek Tuscany bar style paper holder is a brass, wall mounted bath accessory classed as residential, so it is aimed at homes, custom baths and upscale multi-family units rather than high traffic public restrooms. If you want a holder that carries a replaceable plastic tube roller, which is the part that usually fails first under heavy use, the Orca Hardware 2752 Cypress and the Orca Hardware 4852 Blakely are both toilet paper holders supplied with a plastic tube.

The Deltana 88DTPH is a solid brass toilet paper holder in Deltana's 88 Series, a different manufacturer's design family from the Emtek Tuscany collection. Both are brass, but the bar profile, rosette shape and bronze finish tone are specific to each maker, so the two will not read as a matched set on the same wall. If you are building out a bath in the Tuscany Bronze look, keep the paper holder within the Tuscany collection and use the Deltana only where it stands on its own.

The Orca Hardware 2752 Cypress and 4852 Blakely holders both use a plastic tube roller, which is the type a property manager usually wants because a cracked tube is a cheap swap rather than replacing the whole fixture. Deltana also offers single post holders in the 55D and BBN series if you want the roll to load from one side.
