Fixtures vs. Fittings: What's the difference?
Bathroom Fixtures
Fixtures are items that are permanently attached or "fixed" to the plumbing or structure of the building. Removing them usually requires professional tools and can leave a significant mark on the space.
* The Big Three**: Bathtubs, toilets, and sinks are classic examples of fixtures.
* Shower Units: A built-in shower cubicle or a rainfall shower system that is piped into the wall is considered a fixture.
* Water Heaters: Because they are hard-wired and plumbed into your home’s system, water heaters like the Sweethome series fall into this category.
Bathroom Fittings
Fittings are the accessory items that are "fitted" into the room to make it functional. These are often easier to replace or remove without structural changes.
*Utility Items: This includes towel rails, tissue holders, and bidets.
*The Details: Faucets (taps), shower heads, and mirrors are essential fittings that complete your bathroom's look.
*Kitchen Connection: In the kitchen, a heat extractor is an essential fitting that protects your air quality.
