Best Plumbing’s light-filled showroom in Edmonton’s west end greets visitors with an array of fixtures and brands that tell a story. "We pride ourselves on our customer service," shares Narine Grigoryan, plumbing sales consultant. "It's not just about selling; it's about helping our customers find what truly serves their needs." In the 45 years of being in business, customers’ needs have changed. These days, what Grigoryan notices for many is a penchant for luxury touches.

One of Best Plumbing’s most luxurious lines is the House of Rohl, where every piece is a masterpiece, crafted with care, precision and a passion for the uncommon. The items in this collection exude high level artistry with stunning finishes and designs that range from modern to traditional. Within the House of Rohl are products from Perrin &

Rowe, crafted in Britain with traditional gold and brass finishes that reflect the charm of their European origins. The unlacquered brass finish, with its promise of a rich patina over time, caters to those who cherish the classic and traditional aesthetic.

Beyond the traditional, Rohl delves into modern minimalism with lines that boast a simplified, yet sophisticated design. Fixtures with satin gold finishes, some adorned with intricate ridged details included in the Tenerife collection, or faucets with unique tap-turning mechanisms from the Eclissi collection add a touch of contemporary elegance to the bathroom. Customization is at the heart of these collections, allowing homeowners to select from an array of handles and finishes, ensuring their fixtures are as unique as their personal style.

The story of luxury also extends to their Victoria + Albert line, which offers a sculptural range of sinks and exquisite tubs available in a range of colours. These body hugging basins are the perfect complement to the high-end fixtures available in their other lines. The tubs are handcrafted in South Africa using volcanic limestone, which not only adds weight and durability but also retains heat for a long-lasting, luxurious soak. Keeping minimalist style in mind, some tubs are available without traditional and unsightly overflow holes, instead utilizing a smart drain system that senses water levels. Their sinks, available in perfect circles or organic ovals, are also customizable in a variety of colours with either a glossy or matte finish.

Each collection within House of Rohl offers matching fixtures that ensure a cohesive aesthetic throughout the space. Customers can immerse themselves in a world of finishes, with an extensive palette available for customization. Whether it's a speckled gold tub or a champagne-hued tap, the possibilities are as varied as they are beautiful.
