What brand(s) are
the products you sell?
We sell the "Exotic Bathrooms" brand of designer vanity
units, and designer sinks. We manufacture many of our own designs
and other popular European designs. Our faucets and other products
are manufactured by well known foreign factories, or boutique
companies which are not well know brands in the United States,
but produce quality product and designs based on European standards
and have been in business for many years selling quality products.
Do you provide a warranty on your products?
Yes. We provide a 12 month replacement warranty on all products
we sell to residential customers. If there are any manufacturer
defects with the product you purchase from us within the first
12 months, we will replace the defective item. Faucets come with
a 5 Year limited warranty. Please read full details on our warranty
and returns policies at our website by clicking here
Why does it take
so long to order a product if you are out of stock?
Our products are manufactured in foreign countries to our detailed
design specifications. The manufacturing process, combined with
shipping and import formalities produce the availability time
quoted. Depending on the product, and where we are in our regular
ordering cycle, your product could be available in a much shorter
timeframe. We take time and care in manufacturing to ensure you
receive a quality product. When compared with local custom manufacturing
options, our availability is generally comparable to
the local manufacturing alternative you may have. Most bathroom construction
or remodel projects require advance planning, and if you plan
your bathroom fixtures purchase early in the cycle, your project
should not be delayed by the availability of our products. The
wait will be worth it!
What materials are
your products made from?
We manufacture with quality materials. Most of our wooden cabinets
are made from solid oak wood, and may have an additional natural
wood veneer over the top to produce a different grain pattern.
Our other cabinets are made from water resistant MDF, no particle
board for structural or external panels. Our PVC
panel coatings are the highest technology panel coating material
available. Our countertops are made from various quality materials
including Man Made Stone.
Our sinks/vessels are made from a variety of exotic and natural
materials, from porcelain to handmade stone vessels. Our glass vessels and products are tempered
for strength. Our cabinet hardware uses quality metal hinges and
drawer sliders with ball bearings. Where noted, some products
may differ from materials listed above.
Why do you use Oak
wood in most of your cabinets?
Oak wood has been used throughout history for it's water resistant
properties, strength and beauty. For centuries, ships were constructed
of oak wood. We apply spray painted stain to the oak wood in a
variety of popular colors, and polyurethane clear coat.
Why are most of your
Faucets only available in Chrome & Sinks in White?
We base our design influence on European trends. Chrome faucets
and White ceramic sinks & vessels are, and have been the leading edge
of contemporary design for some time. In addition, chrome and
white are not "fad" colors and will stand the test of
time, further protecting your investment. Polished chrome is easier
to clean in hard water areas as lime scale does not stick to it
as easily as "brushed" surfaces such as nickel or "antique"
bronze. White sinks do not clash with other colors
in the bathroom and look clean and fresh - remember those old pink
and pastel colored sinks from the 70's ? That's why we stay with
white.
Are you a reputable
company?
While relatively new to the United States, we have operated business
internationally since 1995. As a boutique business, we do not
intend to be well known by everyone, just the customers looking
for unique contemporary bathroom design. We are Industry Partners of American
Society for Interior Designers (ASID), and members of the Better
Business Bureau (BBB). We are committed to superior customer
service, and to ensuring your satisfaction with our products and
service. We want you to refer us to your friends!
Do you provide a design service?
We offer free advice on bathroom design, but not a full design
service directly. We can refer you to designers and contractors
to complete your bathroom project.
Can I order
a different color, size, finish or design ?
We offer our current product range in different colors, finishes,
sizes and designs only where noted. We can manufacture to your
specific custom order for larger quantity orders only. Ask us
about your special requirements and we may be able to suggest
an alternative product from our existing product range, or quote
you a price to manufacture your design if you are ordering quantity.
Can I buy or inspect
your products at other locations?
Our product range is unique and only available from Exotic Bathrooms
or an authorized reseller. If your preferred local stores do not
offer our range of products, speak to the Management and ask them
to contact us. Our website is accessible worldwide and provides
the majority of information you will need to make informed decisions
on the purchase of our products, however, if you have questions,
please contact us.
I find some of your advertising images offensive
As the bathroom is one of the only legitimate rooms in a home
where people are in various stages of undress each day, we believe
our advertising images are consistent with reality, and a reflection
of real life, only with a nicer bathroom than in most homes. Our
images are not intended to offend, rather to provide a depiction
of an ideal bathroom setting, for inspiration.
If Exotic Bathrooms does not meet your requirements,
