Comfort, sanitation and function are the most important factors in building, renovating or remodeling bathrooms. While having the desired aesthetics is nice, a good bathroom only needs to be clean and have the right fixtures to be comfortable for hygiene. For buyers and other sourcing professionals looking to expand or maintain their current bathroom renovation catalog, a great selection of bathroom fixtures and building materials is offered by trusted suppliers on Global Source's online marketplace.

Toilets
Ceramic toilets are the go-to product in this category. Common types include one- and two-piece toilets, wall-hung and back-to-wall, but for homeowners looking for an upgrade and who don't mind the extra cost, there are many smart toilets to check out. For those with special needs such as the elderly and people with disabilities, smart toilet seats with automatic bidet and warm water functions could be a good choice.

PVC pipes
Moving on to the building aspect, PVC pipes are the common choice for bathroom plumbing. These pipes offer corrosion and chemical resistance, long service life, high flow rates for liquid transfer and quick installation.

Soap dispenser bottles
Liquid soaps, as opposed to the common bar ones, can add to a bathroom's overall hygiene and even to its aesthetic when contained in a good-looking dispenser bottle. Glass and plastic variants are good choices, but aside the material, these all come in various designs which maybe customizable per buyer's request.
