Choosing bathroom fixtures, especially for your home's main bathroom, can prove to be a challenge. Bathroom fixtures, like other household furnishings, can be combined in order to create different styles. It's impressive to see the many choices that are available to today's consumer when it comes to bathtubs, lavatories and waterclosets. It would seem simple to decide that you want something in a contemporary, classical, modern or antique style. However, because of the many choices at your disposal, things may get a little complicated when you start shopping.

To be sure, you'll need to plan according to the space and budget that is available to you. Keeping in mind when it comes to construction and renovation, it's easy to get carried away. Our Staff here at Torry and Sons are happy to do a site visit to work thorough.

One of the reasons for tanks becoming smaller is our collective concern with the environment and, particularly, with saving water. Indeed, more and more tanks are fitted with a flushing mechanism especially designed to save water. If it’s standard for the old models to use twenty litres for each flush, new toilets do the same job with less than six litres! So, if you need to change your toilet, why don't you consider installing a low flush watercloset?

Recently, another innovative option has found its way onto the marketplace: dual flush toilets. These models allow you to select the amount of water required for each flush: a smaller (or half) volume for liquid waste, and a standard (or full) volume for solid waste. This type of system can help save a significant amount of water, which may be greatly appreciated by those concerned with the environment as well as by those concerned with their bank accounts - if they happen to live in a municipality with water meters.

We supply and install a broad range of plumbing fixtures from toilets, sinks and faucets to whirlpools and showers. We represent some of the most popular brands on the market today. Moen, Maax, Delta, Grohe, Hytec, Venco, Toto, American Standard, etc…

Whether you are designing a bathroom or a kitchen, visit the show rooms at Splashes or Bartle and Gibsons to choose the perfect fixture for you home. Our staff offers sound objective advice on a broad range of plumbing fixtures.

 

Quick Tip!

 

Water shortages this summer make it the opportune time to switch to low flow fixtures.

If you are concerned with the amount of water you are using this summer, make the switch to low flow plumbing fixtures. Simply by changing your current toilet to a low flow toilet could result in 80,000 liters of water saved in a year. Imagine 20,000 four litre milk jugs stacked up in your backyard, that’s a lot of water!

When you make the switch, be sure to call us. We will be able to let you know what low flow fixtures will work best for you. All good quality low flow fixtures use far less water than traditional fixtures but don’t lose the water pressure you know and love. But, be warned, there are some imitators out there that may leave you less than satisfied.

Also, be sure to get in on any rebates that the local regional district has to offer. Comox Valley and Nanaimo Regional District is currently offering toilet rebates for amounts between $50-$75.
