Santa Rosa Plumbing has several preferred brands. These products are selected by our staff generally because we don’t repair them often, if at all.
Here are some factors to consider when choosing plumbing fixtures for your home.
Style and Aesthetics
The right bathroom and kitchen fixtures complement the style of your kitchen and bathroom. Whether you prefer a modern, traditional, or transitional look, make sure the fixtures align with your aesthetic preferences. When choosing fixtures for a room, consider the room’s condition. Use easy-to-maintain water-resistant fixtures in your bathroom and kitchen. Think Grohe! Kohler, Delta and Moen products are also pretty good. All these brands come with some type of ‘lifetime’ warranty.
Material Quality
Look for fixtures made from durable and high-quality materials known to stand the test of time. Typical examples include stainless steel, brass, and chrome plumbing fixtures. Plumbing fixtures that utilize these materials are corrosion-resistant and can last for years with proper maintenance. If you’re unsure, contact our expert team who can help you make the best decision for your needs. Again, think Grohe!
Water Efficiency
Opt for water-efficient fixtures. Look for Water Sense-labeled products. Top-of-the-line products can help you reduce your water bill and carbon footprint, without compromising performance. Here in California this is more a requirement than an option.
Finish and Color
Consider the finish and color of the fixtures. Common finishes include chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and polished brass. Choose a finish that complements other elements in the room.
Functionality and Features
Evaluate the functionality of the fixtures you are considering. In a kitchen, you might want a pull-out or pull-down faucet for easier dishwashing. When choosing fixtures for your bathroom, consider touchless or sensor-activated faucets. The more bells and whistles the more problems.
Compatibility
Incompatible plumbing fixtures may not fit properly, leading to several plumbing problems. If you want to replace old fixtures, make sure the ones you are considering are compatible with your existing plumbing system. Don’t know how to determine if new plumbing fixtures are compatible with your plumbing? Reach out to a plumber in Sonoma County.
Ease of Maintenance
If you hate spending your weekends performing plumbing maintenance tasks, look for plumbing fixtures that are easy to clean and maintain. Single lever faucets and other low-maintenance fixtures in areas such as the kitchen and bathroom (where fixtures are exposed to water and soap regularly) can help simplify maintenance and reduce maintenance costs.
Budget Considerations
Before evaluating your options, set your budget. Manufacturers offer products to suit all budgets. So, finding plumbing fixtures that fit into your budget shouldn’t be too difficult. Price is an important, but not the only factor to consider when choosing plumbing fixtures. Remember you get what you pay for. Cheap plumbing fixtures are usually of poor quality and may develop problems frequently.
Warranty and Support
When evaluating different products, check product warranties offered by manufacturers. A good warranty can provide peace of mind and protect you against losses due to material defects.
