The Economy of Enduring Faucet Design: 3 Considerations

If you’re in the business of developing and building multi-family housing, you’re an investor. All investors seek to maximize returns and minimize risks to their assets. When your assets also aim to serve residential interests, every dollar matters. Creating a living environment that will serve a revolving pool of residents years into the future means factoring in considerable wear and tear. Mitigating common issues in durability and dependability, making sure your design choices retain popular appeal, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements (even the ones that aren’t here yet), are the key ways you’ll best be able to protect your investments. Our specialists have compiled three of the most essential considerations to keep in mind when designing for longevity and style (even when the key concern is preserving a low overhead).

1. No Room to Compromise: Use Durable and Dependable Materials

Envisioning all the possible future headaches that a leaky faucet can cause is reason enough to demand the use of high-quality, dependable fixtures from the outset of your project. Installing a substandard faucet will affect more than just the aesthetic value of your space. If you know anything about property management, you already know that the most common service and repair requests all relate to plumbing predicaments. Even the smallest leak can waterfall into a fiasco for building residents, managers, and owners. That’s why Pioneer Industries is proud to offer product warranties and customer support that serve our partners way beyond the scope of our competitors. If your Pioneer, Olympia or Central Brass faucet should ever develop a leak or drip during the course of our 10-year limited warranty on commercial and multi-family projects, we’ll provide the parts necessary to put the faucet back in good working condition, free of charge. Should you choose another manufacturer, be sure to research their warranty as it is a company’s stamp of faith on their own products.


We pride ourselves on being a proven and reliable provider of rigorously-tested, high-quality kitchen and bathroom faucets and fixtures. Installing any of the products from our family of brands ensures greater protection from costly repairs down the road.

2. Here to Stay: Broad Appeal and Popular Demand

Adding a statement piece to the kitchen or bath is a terrific and simple way to differentiate your property from others of a similar class. Of course, when you’re selecting a kitchen or bathroom faucet for a multi-family development, it’s essential to find a beautiful product that will marry well with any residents’ design preferences. We believe that picking out the perfect faucet is a “you’ll know it when you see it” endeavor. That’s why we’ve designed faucets like our Motegi Single-Handle Bathroom Faucet that look alluring in any context you see them. Tip: opting for the brushed nickel finish, rather than the modern polished chrome finish, will add an additional layer of traditional sophistication to the space).


Although selecting a finish for your fixtures and faucets is a very personal choice in one’s own home, choosing fixtures with personality will add charm and character to an otherwise uniform and sterile multi-family development. Consider the elegance of a fixture like our i2 Single-Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet in matte black finish. Making the bold decision to commit to a finish that is usually reserved for use in single-family residences can effortlessly bump your build into a heightened level of luxury that any resident can and will appreciate. The key is to add personality with out-of-the-box choices without straying so far away from general tastes as to make the complex appealing to only a select few. Utilizing fixtures to implement more widely appealing and timeless design in the kitchen and bathroom means spending less money and time on updates in years to come.

3. Coming Soon to Your Development: Regulatory Requirements

Savvy contractors and developers know that repairing and replacing is far more costly than simply planning ahead and completing a project correctly the first time. Thoughtful planning means seeing what’s coming, and taking action now to ease future burdens. In the midst of historic droughts and an increasing public demand for environmentally conscious design, more municipalities are tightening regulations pertaining to the implementation of low-flow plumbing fixtures. If you’re not in an area where this is already a consideration, chances are that you will be soon. Plan ahead by installing water-saving kitchen and bathroom faucets to get ahead of the curve

Did You Know?

All Pioneer Industries products are engineered to meet or exceed low-flow faucet requirements across the nation. Our Lux-Flow shower systems already exceed requirements for water usage regulations in most states. When you install a Lux-Flow system, you can rest assured that there will be no need to replace fixtures when the new rules take effect in your area. If your company is building for a client, what better way to encourage client loyalty than saving them future hassles? Preemptively preparing your residential building for future regulations, paired with the benefit of saving the average family up to 700 gallons of water each year, will place you firmly in the “exceptionally well-executed multi-family development” category. 

Speaking of loyalty, our commitment to conservation and our planet in general goes beyond lip service. All of our products meet or exceed the criteria of the EPA’s WaterSense Partner program. Installing Lux – Flow Single Function Rain Showerheads in your build will be a clear win for the environment as well as future residents.

 In Design, a Little Bit of Foresight Goes a Long Way

Ensuring that you’re selecting the right fixtures in the kitchen and bathroom before you install is an easy way to safeguard the future of your investment in a multi-family development. Avoid costly mistakes in the long-term by designing your multi-family property with endurance in mind. Endurance in property design is synonymous with durability, timelessness, and vigilance.
