When it comes to purchasing new plumbing fixtures for your home or commercial facility, it’s safe to say there are a few different attributes that will help you make your final decision, right? Especially for fixtures that are out in the open, like faucets, you’re going to want something with a professional appearance and ensure it matches with the other components in the room. For all plumbing fixtures, regardless of installation location, you’ll be looking for options that are reliable and can withstand the daily wear and tear. After all, many of these plumbing fixtures are going to be used on a daily basis. And lastly, you’ll want to find a plumbing fixture that aligns with your budget for the project. In the end, you’ll likely find yourself evaluating potential fixtures based on this criteria!
Having said all of that, we can now introduce the topic of this week’s blog post, which will certainly impact your ability to find a plumbing fixture that checks all of the boxes outlined above, and that happens to be the brand of the plumbing fixture. As you can likely guess, there are a number of plumbing fixture brands that are extremely popular in the plumbing world today. Several of these brands have been around for more than a few years and continue to be very common in the plumbing industry. Not to mention, given how long they’ve been in the plumbing world, they have also been at the forefront of innovation on numerous occasions and continue to bring reliable new products to the market. All in all, there is a reason why we recommend sticking with the name brands when purchasing new plumbing fixtures. Throughout this week’s blog post, we’ll discuss a handful of names you should look out for in your plumbing fixture purchasing journey! Let’s dive right in!
As a side note, keep in mind that we’re only going to list a couple brands for each section. This isn’t meant to be a comprehensive list as there are certainly more than a handful of reliable brands in the market nowadays! Stay tuned for future blog posts highlighting other plumbing fixture brands.
Faucets
If you browse around online for a new faucet, you’ll likely quickly notice that there are no shortage of options. From various styles, finishes and brands, it can even seem a little overwhelming from the get-go. While we’ve covered the different types and finishes of faucets in previous blog posts, we’ll highlight a couple of the big names to consider for your new faucets here.
Delta Faucet Company – Looking for an established and well-respected brand in the plumbing industry? If so, Delta will definitely be on that list! They offer a wide range of quality products, so you’ll have no trouble finding other fixtures and accessories that match your faucets. In the opening paragraphs, we briefly mentioned the importance of innovation in the plumbing world. Well, if you take a peek at the “Innovation” page on their website HERE, you’ll see that they’re always looking for ways to improve their products!
Moen – On the topic of household names in the faucet world (and the plumbing industry as a whole), Moen is another name to remember. As was the case with Delta above, you’ll notice that Moen sells much more than just faucets, but for the sake of this blog post, we’ll focus specifically on their exceptional faucet offerings! With a wide range of faucet styles and finishes available, you’ll have little trouble finding an elegant faucet that matches what you have envisioned for the space. And if you’re someone looking for a faucet with added features, then their smart faucets will be perfect for you!
Along with Delta and Moen, you’ll also notice there are several other faucet brands that can be the perfect addition for any bathroom. Before we continue on with the next plumbing fixture, we also wanted to mention that you will likely take into account factors like the existing set-up of your sink/vanity and even where it will be used (residential or commercial, master bathroom or secondary bathroom) in the faucet selection process!
Toilets
Next on our list, we will discuss a couple of toilet brands that are sure to provide you with a reliable and efficient toilet!
TOTO – Without a doubt, TOTO is a staple in the toilet industry. From standard two-piece toilets to smart toilets packed with cool features and everything in-between, you can’t go wrong with a TOTO. Trust us, if you’re looking for the latest and greatest in toilet technology, then you’ll want to check out their smart toilets. Aside from that, for most homeowners, you simply want a toilet that’s functional and durable, right? After all, it’s going to be used consistently throughout the year, so you’ll want to ensure it’s reliable! That can certainly be achieved with a TOTO toilet.
KOHLER – With faucets, freestanding tubs, toilets, mirrors, vanities and more items available, you could easily fill your entire bathroom with KOHLER products and we’re sure it would look absolutely stunning! For this blog post though, we wanted to highlight their extensive toilet selection. One-piece, two-piece, wall-hung, it doesn’t matter what type of toilet you’re looking for, you can find it made by KOHLER. Plus, as we mentioned above with TOTO, that also includes the awesome smart toilets, which possess a modern look and a bevy of neat features!
To sum it up, while it’s easy to assume that all toilets are the same, that certainly isn’t true nowadays! Brands, like the two featured above, are always looking for ways to improve their products and ultimately differentiate themselves from others currently in the market. From a consumer perspective, this has definitely been a major benefit as innovation has impacted the products available to purchase. So…if you’re looking for a toilet that isn’t in the standard white color, there are options available. If you’re looking for a toilet with automatic opening/closing of the lid and a built-in deodorizer, that is possible. If you’re looking for a toilet that is able to operate at increased efficiency levels, thus using less water per flush, that is a possibility. Just like several of the other plumbing fixtures out there, toilets have gradually improved over the years and we’re excited to see this transformation continue in the future!
