The First Step to Building or Remodeling Your Home

6 reasons why the Standard Plumbing showroom is your first stop

Designing a home, whether you’re building it or remodeling, is an exciting and stressful project. There are so many colors, styles, and sizes out there for everything you want, so where do you even start? If you’ve already found some pictures on Pinterest or if you’re still looking to be inspired, the showroom is the first place to go, and here’s why.

1. Free Design Consultations

If you have some ideas but can’t seem to fit it all together, an experienced professional can. Among all the pros in the Sandy showroom there’s over 100 years of plumbing design experience. One of our top designers, Elaine Bracken has worked at in the showroom for 16 years and in the plumbing industry for 50 years! She, like all of the showroom professionals, have specialized knowledge and experience in plumbing design. These trained professionals will know exactly how to help you design your bathroom or kitchen with all of the crucial details.

2. Lifetime Warranty

At Standard, plumbing is what we do. All of our components are made out of real brass as opposed to plastic from the big box retailers. Also, our cartridges are ceramic, which means they’re the best quality you can find. On top of the quality, almost every vendor in our showroom offers a lifetime limited warranty. So if your kitchen faucet starts leaking, has a crack in the finish or you have a manufacturing issue, you can call Standard for all the after installation care you need.

3. Hands-on Experience

Pinterest is nice for ideas, but who doesn’t love hands on? It’s so much easier to see the size of the sink and get a feel for the faucet when you can actually touch it. The showroom is full of all sorts of options to try. Some customers have even hopped in a bathtub to see how it feels! In the showroom you can experience things like they’re in your own home.

4. Prevent Costly Errors

Who doesn’t love a good deal? But finding a cheap product online might not end up being a bargain when you buy European metric threads that don’t match up to U.S. sizes or you find that your inexpensive bathtub was marked down because of flaws in structural design. Did you know that the average 80 gallon tub weighs 650 lbs. when filled with water? Even if the price seems nice, no self-assembly product is worth the missing parts, annoying leaks, or an entire damaged wall. Let the professionals make sure your home is built correctly.

5. Support Local Businesses

Everyone talks about the benefits of buying local food, but the same things apply for your home remodel. Buying locally reduces your carbon footprint since the products don’t have to travel so far to get to you (Castle, 2017, well.org). Additionally, for each purchase at local independent businesses, 48% is recirculated in the local community compared to only 14% for national chains (Civic Economics, 2012). Buying local products betters the community that you live in. Standard Plumbing Supply was founded in Utah in 1952 and has stayed true its community values throughout the years.

6. Customization

Another unique benefit of the showroom is that everything is customizable. Your shower won’t come to your new or remodeled home in a kit with assembly instructions, it will come how you want it to come. If you want two shower heads, we can make that happen. If you want a shower with digital compatibility, we can make that happen. The showroom is a way to help you make your new living space exactly how you want it.
