Bathroom Business: Sourcing Sanitary Ware

The Sanitary Ware hall is sleek, wet, and shiny. (Phase 1, Area B).

1. Key Categories

• Ceramics: Toilets (Smart & Standard), Basins.
• Faucets & Brassware: Mixers, Shower heads.
• Shower Enclosures: Glass cabins.

2. Production Hubs

• Foshan: The absolute king of ceramics and toilets.
• Kaiping (Shuikou): The "City of Faucets". If you buy taps, buy from Kaiping factories.
• Wenzhou: Also makes faucets, but generally lower cost/quality than Kaiping.

3. Technical Checks

• Toilets: Ask about the Glazing. Is the trapway fully glazed? (Prevents clogging). Ask about the Flushing Mechanism brand (Geberit or WDI?).
• Faucets: Ask about the Cartridge (Sedal/Kerox?). A bad cartridge means a leaky tap in 6 months. Ask about the Brass content (59% Brass is standard).

4. Smart Toilets

This market is booming.

• Look for features like: Auto-open seat, UV sterilization, and Kick-flush.
• Warning: Electronics in a wet environment fail easily. Ask about their PCB waterproofing rating (IP67?).
