Why we use it
BCG coordinates fixtures early because rough-ins, blocking, tile, stone, cabinetry, and access panels depend on them.
Character
Finish, handle feel, spout proportion, and shower controls shape daily use in subtle ways.
What we look for
Valve quality, finish durability, parts availability, installation requirements, and compatibility with the water system.
Design considerations
Fixture scale should fit the sink, tub, tile, mirror, and cabinetry rather than being selected in isolation.
Installation considerations
Valve depth, blocking, waterproofing, access, pressure, and coordination with tile layout are essential.
Common mistakes
Selecting fixtures after rough-in, hiding required access, or mixing finishes without studying the room as a whole.
Maintenance + aging
Cartridges, aerators, drains, and finishes need documentation so future service does not become guesswork.
