Fittings & Other Items for Your Kitchen & Bathroom

Sinks may look similar at a glance, but how they’re installed—and what materials they’re suited for—makes a huge difference during renovations.

• Top-mount sinks are ideal for laminate benchtops due to their protective rim and easy installation.
• Undermount sinks suit stone or engineered surfaces. They look great and easy cleaning but need precise fabrication. See our Kitchen with Pure White Caesarstone and Undermount Sink.
• Fully integrated sinks, often made from acrylic or stone, create a one-piece benchtop-sink surface and are best for modern or high-end kitchens.

Tapware affects plumbing layout, cleaning, and water efficiency. Choosing the wrong style too late in the design process can lead to expensive rework.

• Wall-mounted mixers require plumbing inside the wall cavity.
• Swivel spouts help with larger sinks, while pull-out sprayers are great for heavy-duty cleaning.
• For bathrooms, smart tapware or touchless sensors offer hygiene and convenience, especially in kids’ spaces or guest WCs.

The wrong vanity material can warp, stain, or degrade quickly—especially in humid bathrooms.

• Timber veneer looks beautiful but needs sealing.
• Polyurethane and solid surface are low-maintenance and moisture-resistant.
• Glass or porcelain create a high-end look but require care to avoid chipping.
