Renovation of an apartment or your own house always comes with certain difficulties. Turning to professionals greatly facilitates the work, but carries a large financial cost. The absence of assistants saves the budget, but takes up all the free time. In any case, whether the repair is done by the owner or specially hired people, it will not be possible to avoid buying materials. With the selection of wallpaper, paints, ceilings and floors, there are no difficulties. Here the most important is the design solution and attractive appearance. But buying bathroom equipment can be a daunting task. A manufacturer of sanitary ware and bathroom accessories must convince potential consumers of the quality of its products and offer a wide range to suit every budget.
How to choose?
Given the not quite simple financial situation of most compatriots, good products for the bath and toilet should:
- be reliable;
- meet environmental safety requirements;
- match the color of the bathroomor restroom;
- combined according to the material of performance with each other;
- be easy to maintain and easy to clean;
- have a certain tensile strength;
- fit into the room being renovated.
In addition, it is important to find out reviews about plumbing manufacturers. This is necessary in order to purchase truly reliable and practical products that can be used for several decades.
Views
Of the fundamental categories of equipment produced by Russian plumbing manufacturers, as well as foreign ones, the five most important ones should be noted:
- sink;
- bath;
- shower;
- toilet;
- bidet.
In sinks and bathtubs, the faucet and container cover material are important.
Shower cabins are usually chosen to save space, so here it is worth paying attention to overall dimensions and additional functions of the panel in the form of hydromassage or contrast filling. Toilets are selected according to the degree of noise, the volume of the tank and the possibility of economical water consumption. A bidet should be comfortable, easily integrated into the room and compact.
What are the best plumbing made of?
Most sanitary ware manufacturers are trying to increase demand for their products by using reliable, easy-care and comfortable materials. Unfortunately, sometimes the quality of the goods is lame.
Therefore, the choice of material is perhaps the first important stage in the purchase of plumbing. In accordance with it, 5 types of accessories are distinguished: porcelain, faience, glass, marble, composite.
Porcelain is distinguished by its large mass, resistance to temperature extremes and ease of maintenance. Faience products are cheap and lightweight. Both materials are prone to chipping and cracking upon impact. Marble surfaces are elegant, expensive and require special cleaning. The glass is beautiful, strong enough, but prone to soap stains. Composite options are most preferred. They have the best specifications, but are expensive and not always affordable.
Famous brands
Consumers and experts have compiled a rating of plumbing manufacturers, where they identified the first three places. In terms of attractiveness for the domestic consumer, the places were distributed as follows:

Ledeme
Brand introducedgoods at affordable prices. China is the main manufacturing country for Ledeme sanitary ware. A full production cycle is carried out here, starting with product development, its manufacture, subsequent modernization and ending with the final stage of logistics and sales.
