Plumbing

Among trusted manufacturers are European (Laufen, Roca), Asian (Toto), and niche brands like LAPARET or Correct. Systems like Sinergia or faucets like Molera indicate attention to detail. When choosing:

1. Ensure service availability on the island.

2. Check the completeness (if internal fittings/valves are included).

3. For installation of complex items (concealed system, wall-hung fixtures), hire trusted professionals.

4. Combine all elements according to style (e.g., don't mix loft and provence).

• For a condo (small area): Shower cabin (modular, corner) + wall-hung toilet with concealed installation (in-wall system) + compact sink (e.g., over a built-in washing machine). Furniture: a narrow tall cabinet or vanity unit. Style — modern or minimalism.

• For a villa (spacious): A separate bathtub and shower are possible. Floor-standing toilet, double sink, bidet. Materials — to choose from, from stainless steel to marble. You can add a shower column and a heated towel rail.

Phuket's climate dictates the choice: resistance to moisture, salt, and UV rays.

• Porcelain and earthenware (vitreous china) for sinks/toilets: hygienic, but porcelain is stronger.

• Acrylic for bathtubs: lightweight, warm, but prone to scratches.

• Composite and artificial stone: the best balance of strength and design.

• Tempered glass: for bold design choices, requires perfect care.

• Brass with coating — for faucets/mixers.
  Pros: Durability with the right choice. Cons: Price of marble, stone bathtubs; fragility of glass sinks.

Plumbing is a complex of visible fixtures and hidden systems. It includes: sanitary ware (toilet, bidet, sink), bathtub (acrylic, cast iron, steel or stone bathtub), shower cabin (with a shower tray), faucets/mixers, as well as hidden installation (concealed cistern/wall-hung system), pipes, filters, and water meters. For public spaces, a urinal is also relevant. The full set depends on the project and style (high-tech, minimalism, classic).
