Bathroom plumbing

Bathroom plumbing includes such features as showers, bathtubs, toilets, and sinks. Today, the majority of these fixtures are created from plastics. Popular examples of modern materials include gel-coated fiberglass and acrylic plastic.

Up until recently, bathroom plumbing fixtures were more popularly created from enameled cast iron or steel. The enamel may be applied dry or wet. When applied dry, the metal surface which it will be covering is heated to the point that the enamel melts on contact. The other application option involves dipping the metal fixture into wet enamel.

Elements of bathroom plumbing may also be created from cultured marble. This gives a feel of elegance which may be appealing to some. Porcelain and even wood are other possibilities when it comes to creating bathroom related fixtures.
