Material Selection Considerations

• Ceramics/Porcelain: Toilets, basins, bathtubs due to their durability, hygiene, ease of cleaning, scratch resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Glazed for smooth, non-porous finish.
• Metals (for Faucets, Fixtures, Accessories):
• Brass: Most common for faucets, valves, and internal components due to corrosion resistance, machinability, and durability. Often chrome, nickel, or bronze plated for aesthetics and protection.
• Stainless Steel (304, 316): For high-end fixtures, accessories, and grab bars due to excellent corrosion resistance, hygiene, and modern aesthetic.
• Zinc Alloy (Die-cast): For some accessory bodies (e.g., toilet paper holders), often chrome plated, more economical than brass.
• Aluminum: For towel warmers, light fixture housings, lightweight accessories.
• Plastics:
• ABS, Polypropylene (PP), PVC: For toilet seats, internal toilet mechanisms, pipework, shower heads, soap dispenser bodies, flush plates. Chosen for corrosion resistance, moldability, and cost.
• Acrylic: For bathtubs (lightweight, good heat retention, wide range of shapes).
• Polycarbonate (PC): For strong, clear components, or certain lighting covers.
• Silicone: For seals, gaskets, shower head nozzles (prevents limescale buildup).
• Glass: For shower enclosures (tempered safety glass), mirrors.
• Composites: Solid surface materials (e.g., Corian) for basins, countertops, offering seamless appearance and repairability. Engineered quartz for countertops.
• Rubber/Elastomers: For seals, washers, anti-slip mats.
• Coatings: Chrome plating, nickel plating, PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finishes for durability, aesthetics, and corrosion resistance on metal components. Powder coating for some metal accessories.
