The Houses We Curate From

A deliberately edited list. We represent fewer brands than we could, and know each of them considerably better as a result — their engineering, their finishes, their lead times, and how they age.

A material studio is only as good as its editing. Carrying forty brands would let us answer any request and serve none of them well. We carry a smaller set, chosen for engineering, longevity and design coherence — and we can tell you honestly how each one behaves five years in, because we have projects that old to look back on.

Fima Carlo Frattini

Italy · Bath Fittings

An Italian house with deep manufacturing and design range, and the reference point in our bath fittings collection. The distinction shows up in the details you feel rather than photograph — cartridge action, the weight and balance of a handle, the consistency of a PVD finish across a whole bathroom set. Configuration range is unusually wide, which matters when a concealed system has to fit a wall that is already built. Displayed as working pieces at our Sector 82 studio, and the reason clients from across Chandigarh and Punjab come to Mohali to see fittings.

CoalBrook

Design-Led · Bath Fittings

A distinctly architectural vocabulary — considered proportion, restrained detailing, and finish ranges that suit contemporary and transitional interiors without shouting. Frequently specified for Velora Elite and Velora Forte bathrooms where the fitting is meant to complete a composition rather than announce itself, and particularly effective alongside large-format slab walls.

Acquaviva

Premium · Bath Fittings

A premium programme that balances design with everyday practicality and service support across India. A dependable choice for premium residences and for multi-unit work where the same specification must hold across many units and remain serviceable by a standard plumber for years after handover.

American Standard

International · Bath Fittings & Sanitaryware

Long-established engineering with wide availability and spare-part support across India — which is precisely the criterion that matters most in builder floors, rental units and larger residential developments. Strong across both bath fittings and sanitaryware, which allows a coherent bathroom programme to be built from a single family without hunting for compatible pieces.

Nexion

Large-Format Surfaces · Tiles & Slabs

Large-format porcelain slabs and surface collections in marble, stone, concrete and oxide finishes, in formats up to 1600x3200 mm and beyond. Book-matched and vein-matched pairs are available in selected ranges, which is what allows a continuous veined pattern to run across a feature wall or an island face without a visible break. The Nexion slab lounge at our studio exists so these can be seen upright, at full size, under proper light — the only way a slab can honestly be judged.

Rhinox

Surfaces · Tiles & Cladding

Surface and cladding collections spanning interior and exterior applications, including textured and structured finishes for facades, terraces and high-traffic areas. Specified where durability under UV, monsoon exposure and thermal movement carries as much weight as appearance — a combination the Punjab climate tests every single year.

How we decide what to carry

Three questions decide whether a house enters the collection. Does the engineering hold up over a decade, not a warranty period? Is the range coherent enough that a whole bathroom or a whole floor can be specified from it without compromise? And can it actually be supported in India — spare parts, cartridges, replacement seals, matching batches for a phase-two order two years from now?

That last question eliminates more candidates than the first two together. A beautiful fitting that cannot be serviced in year eight is not a premium product; it is a deferred problem. We would rather present a client with six houses we can stand behind for the life of the project than forty we cannot.

You can see these collections across our tiles, bath fittings, sanitaryware and surface solutions pages, or experience them in person at the studio in Sector 82, Mohali.

Questions We Are Asked Often

Questions about the brands we carry

Where can I find a Fima Carlo Frattini dealer in Punjab or Chandigarh?

Fima Carlo Frattini collections are displayed at Imperial Design Concepts, Plot No. 729, Industrial Area JLPL, Sector 82, Mohali, Punjab — the closest studio to Chandigarh, Panchkula and Zirakpur showing the range as working displays rather than boxed product. Fittings can be handled, and finish samples can be compared against the tiles and slabs they will sit beside. Open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 am to 7:00 pm.

Are these brands available for viewing before ordering?

Yes. Everything we curate from is represented at the studio in some form, whether as a full working display, a finish sample set or a slab in the library. Where a specific model or finish is not on the floor, we can usually arrange to have it shown before an order is placed. We would rather delay a decision by a week than have a client commit to a finish they have only seen photographed.

Do you only supply imported brands?

No. The collection deliberately spans imported and Indian premium lines, because the right answer depends on the project. A builder-floor programme needs consistent availability across dozens of units and easy servicing by a standard plumber, which a well-chosen Indian premium line often serves better than an imported one. A bespoke architectural bathroom may call for a specialty finish only an Italian house makes. Both are legitimate; the project decides.

Can you supply a brand you do not currently stock?

Often, yes. Our curation is deliberately edited rather than exhaustive, so a brand's absence usually reflects a judgement about range overlap rather than access. If a specific brand is central to an architect's specification, tell us and we will say plainly whether we can supply it, what the lead time would be, and whether we think something already in the collection would serve the project better.
