Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our reportable segments are as follows:
Plumbing Products –  principally includes faucets, plumbing system components and valves, showerheads and handheld showers, tubs and shower bases and enclosures, toilets, spas, exercise pools and water handling systems.
Decorative Architectural Products –  principally includes paints and other coating products, lighting fixtures and LED lighting systems, and cabinet and other hardware.
The above products are sold to the residential repair and remodel and to a lesser extent the new home construction markets through home center retailers, online retailers, mass merchandisers, hardware stores, homebuilders, distributors and direct to the customer.
Our operations are principally located in North America and Europe. Our country of domicile is the United States of America.
Other than those assets specifically identified within a segment, corporate assets consist primarily of property and equipment, right-of-use assets, deferred tax assets, cash and cash investments and other investments.
Our segments are based upon similarities in products and represent the aggregation of operating units, for which financial information is regularly evaluated by our corporate operating executive in determining resource allocation and assessing performance, and is periodically reviewed by the Board of Directors. Accounting policies for the segments are the same as those for us. We primarily evaluate performance based upon operating profit and, other than general corporate expense, allocate specific corporate overhead to each segment.
As described in Note B, our previously reported Windows and Other Specialty Products as well as Cabinetry Products segments have been classified as discontinued operations, which required retrospective application to the balance sheets and statements of operations, as well as, additional disclosures of certain cash flow financial information for all periods presented. Amounts for shared general and administrative operating expenses that were allocated to these businesses in prior periods have been re-allocated to general corporate expense.
