Waterworks
The American bath authority that started in a hardware store.
What they're known for
Heritage-detailed fittings, tubs, and full bath programs — the showroom standard for the high-end American bathroom.
Waterworks began in 1978 as a Connecticut plumbing-supply business and grew into the reference brand for the considered American bathroom. The catalog is unusually complete: fittings, tubs, sinks, hardware, tile, and lighting designed to work as one coherent room rather than parts sourced from a dozen vendors.
The look is heritage-literate without being fussy — unlacquered brass that ages, period-correct cross handles, and proportions drawn from English and early-American plumbing. Sold through its own showrooms with deep design support, Waterworks is what designers spec when the bathroom is meant to read as permanent.
