Make Sure You Include These Plumbing Upgrades For Your New Home Construction Project in Toronto
BVM Contracting has built custom home additions, new homes, and luxury homes in Toronto over the last decade, and have found that some of our clients didn’t understand how much they needed certain plumbing upgrades until it was too late. This article aims to educate home owners looking to complete a custom home project about all of the different options they have for their plumbing in their custom home. See the below list of upgrades and ideas to help make the water flow beautifully in your amazing new home!

Plumbing Manifolds
Plumbing manifolds allow for isolation of domestic cold/hot/recirculated hot water in different zones of the house in the event of service/emergencies etc. without interrupting the entire system. This allows you to be able to shower while your laundry is being serviced for example!
Hot Water Recirculation System
This feature gives you rapid hot water at all fixtures (within 5-8 seconds) at all times at any fixture in your home. The way this is completed is by use of a recirculating pump that constantly circulates the hot water from the furthest points back to the hot water source. It is a highly recommended and excellent feature to have in any large custom home build.
Radiant In-floor Heating
Usually installed in basements, radiant in-floor heating provides a warm surface for normally cold surfaces like basement floors and tiled areas by use of recirculating hot water. This system is different from the hot water recirculation system because it is a closed, temperature-controlled system.
Once you feel the heat from a radiant floor you will be sold! Come visit one of our project sites to find out how a radiant floor feels!
Pot Fillers
Pot-fillers are an absolute must in any home, and they can look amazing! We recommend pot-fillers to all of our clients for the ease of use and aesthetics alike.
Frost-free hydrant/Hose bibs
Frost-free hydrants/hose bibs are exterior water line terminations that prevent your water lines from freezing. These hydrants/hose bibs come as a cold water connection or can also come with a hot/cold connection.
Bidets
The epitome of luxury, the bidet is the final recommendation for any luxury home plumbing fixture list. The functionality, comfort, and ease of using bidets makes it a front runner for any bathroom!
