This page gathers the Brands, press articles, press releases and professional resources dedicated to Plumbing & Sanitary Ware, in order to support users in their research, projects and technical monitoring.
Hydraulic networks, sanitary equipment and sealing solutions
Plumbing and sanitary installations are essential for building comfort, hygiene, and network performance. Professionals must integrate quality, compliance, safety, and sustainability into their work.
Sanitary ware & faucets
This subcategory includes:
-
washbasins, showers, bathtubs, toilets, toilet bowls, concealed cisterns,
-
mechanical or thermostatic taps,
-
mixers, shower columns, built-in units,
-
PMR equipment and water saving devices.
The issues relate to user comfort, material resistance, consumption reduction, ease of maintenance and the fight against health risks (legionella, stagnation).
EF/EC, EU/EV networks
This family includes cold and hot water supply networks (EF/EC) and wastewater and sewage disposal networks (EU/EV).
It includes:
-
multilayer pipes, PEX, copper, steel, PVC, cast iron,
-
fittings, manifolds, valves, safety valves,
-
anti-water hammer devices, regulation and balancing,
-
Octopus or column distribution solutions.
The priorities concern:
-
hydraulic continuity,
-
the control of pressures and temperatures,
-
limiting pressure losses,
-
the durability of networks in the face of corrosion and aging.
Sealing, bonding & assembly
This subcategory covers materials and systems ensuring the integrity and reliability of installations:
-
waterproof membranes and systems,
-
liquid sealants, tapes and kits,
-
technical adhesives, sealants, resins,
-
fastening, assembly and connection systems.
The challenges involve the waterproofing of water features, leak prevention, protection of supports and proper preparation of technical areas.
Together, these three families guarantee high-performance, compliant and durable sanitary installations.
Practices adapted to regional contexts and building typologies
The plumbing sector relies on a dense territorial network bringing together installers, repairers, design offices, specialist distributors and general contractors.
Technical requirements vary by region:
-
reinforced networks in cold areas to prevent freezing,
-
limescale-resistant materials for use in hard water areas
-
enhanced waterproofing in coastal or humid areas,
-
noise reduction devices in dense urban areas,
-
compact solutions adapted to older housing in city centers.
This local expertise makes it possible to adapt the facilities to the climatic, architectural and regulatory constraints specific to each territory.
