Plumbing fixtures

Plumbing fixtures are the bits you see and use - bathtubs, toilets, taps, drains, showerheads and basins, among others. All of these things need to be practical and functional, although it's becoming increasingly important that they also provide a bit of aesthetic pleasure too. These days, there is a tremendous amount of choice on offer, not just in terms of looks, but also in terms of how efficiently fixtures operate and how they function in general.

Plumbing fixtures must all be properly attached, or 'plumbed in'. Where these fixtures are plumbed in and in what manner is a discussion between you, your plumber, your building contractor and the relevant authorities, although their positioning will play a significant role in the amount of piping required, and how efficiently everything will work.
