What determines the price of sanitary ware

Anyone who has paid attention to the building materials mall knows that the prices of sanitary ware vary greatly. The price of cheap sanitary ware can be as low as a few hundred yuan, and the price of expensive sanitary ware can be as high as thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. What factors affect the price of sanitary ware? What? Why are the prices of sanitary ware so different? What are the differences between these sanitary ware with very different prices?

Ceramic quality and cost

Most modern sanitary ware are made of ceramics, such as toilets, squat toilets, wash basins, bathtubs, etc. The quality and cost of ceramics are important factors that determine the price. Ceramic formula, firing process, water absorption of the finished product, appearance design, product performance, surface finish, etc. are all criteria for evaluating the quality of a sanitary ware. It is not easy to achieve superior quality for each of them. First of all, high temperature conditions are not easy to meet the standards. Only when a certain firing temperature is reached can true porcelain be achieved and it can be called porcelain. A high-quality ceramic toilet must have both a good “core” and a good appearance. Only with sophisticated technology can we produce ceramic products with low water absorption, moist appearance, good frost resistance, smooth surface, and easy flushing; carefully designed appearance brings beauty to people; good usability makes the toilet save water and flush cleanly. . Therefore, the quality and cost of ceramics are one of the important factors affecting the price of sanitary ware.

Complete functions

As technology becomes more and more developed, people are increasingly pursuing quality of life and have more and more functional requirements for sanitary ware. A good sanitary ware product must have complete functions and be able to meet the modern people’s lifestyle and higher-level needs. Efforts have been made to make people more comfortable and make people feel the technological care of modern life. The singing toilet flips and falls automatically, and the seat ring has constant temperature heating, repeated warm water flushing, LCD temperature display and other functional options. The appearance design is in line with people’s daily living habits and the human body’s ultra-low lead water saving – the difference in functionality also determines the price gap. The more perfect and practical the sanitary ware is, the higher the price will be.

 Brand effect

People like to choose brands when buying things because they believe in the value of the brand. In fact, sanitary ware is no exception. The prices of some more famous sanitary ware brands are also relatively high. I believe this truth should not be difficult to understand. Just like the disparity between the price of a Chanel bag and the price of an unknown brand bag, this is also the reason why many sanitary ware strive to build a brand image. The power of brand effect marketing cannot be underestimated. When purchasing branded sanitary ware, of course, the premise is that the brand is truly worth the money. Otherwise, if you blindly pursue the brand regardless of practical value, you will lose more than you gain.

Technical content determines price

The quality and cost of ceramic products are the main factors that determine the price. Taking the flush toilet as an example, the quality of the product can be viewed from two aspects: internal quality and external quality. Intrinsic quality mainly refers to issues such as whether the ceramic formula is reasonable, whether the firing process is sophisticated, and the water absorption rate of the finished product; external quality is what can be seen with the eyes, such as appearance design, product performance, surface finish, etc.

A high-quality ceramic toilet must have a good core as well as a good appearance. Only with sophisticated technology can we produce ceramic products with low water absorption, moist appearance, good frost resistance, smooth surface, and easy flushing; carefully designed appearance brings beauty to people; good usability makes the toilet save water and flush cleanly.

The law of “you get what you pay for” is especially obvious in the sanitary ware manufacturing industry where profits are originally low. Cheap products can only use cheap components. For sanitary ware that is too cheap, it is possible that you saved some money when buying the sanitary ware, but if something goes wrong within a year, you will spend more money on after-sales maintenance. In response to this phenomenon, sanitary ware people said that although there is nothing wrong with looking for low prices, you must not forget to measure the cost-effectiveness, especially because many product details are difficult to compare individually.
