Hi,

Is there any feedback or opinion on brand Vitra for bathroom fittings ? I had never heard of this brand however saw it at bath store.

As per shopkeeper it is imported from Turkey and better than Jaquar.
So in term of premium and quality he places Grohe > Vitra > Jaquar.
I am inclined to used all concealed hardware such as diverter thermostat stop cock concealed portions of Grohe and exposed parts such as handshowers , sprouts, body jets from another brand to control costs. There is substantial difference in these between Grohe and any other brand like Jaquar or Vitra.

Regards

Just my 2 cents.

Turkey is one of the Country which has close links with China, Pakistan & Malaysia in promoting Terror activities Inside India to create Social issues in our Country. Irrespective of the Quality or Price Advantage, Would like to give business for companies from such an enemy Country ?? These Brands are promoted by specifically Minority owned business Houses in India. Giving Business to such country is nothing but, Indirectly encouraging Terrorism Inside our own Country.

Honestly, I don't entertain such business entities or giving business to them in spite of any number of personal advantages for me.

I am not very particular about Vitra as such and agree on the point about Turkey.
But for basically chrome plated ABS hand shower and Shower heads don't see point in the kind of money Grohe and Kohler are charging.
Example the body Jet of Grohe is 11.5K each where as for Jaquar around 3K both are CP plated ABS.
So for a nifty setup of large rain shower and 4+ body jets and cascade the price difference becomes huge.

The range of Shower heads is pretty limited in Jaquar / Atria for example I couldn't find 24" rain shower and Cascade shower in Jaquar.
