Kuldeep ji, please make sure to involve your plumber in decision making. Arrangment of concealed piping will also decide what bathroom fitting you can buy & which one you cannot. Bathroom fittings as such are last thing you should be worried about. if you are buying from one of top 2-3 brands, you will get 5-7 years of warranty.
I personally recommend divertors & not traditional mixer. Advance manufacturing technologies makes them very good & robust. Secondly the pleasure of using them is way better then traditional mixers.
In some parts of India, because hard water, scaling (deposit of lime like substance on pores) happens.
Sir I am building a duplex house which contains 3 bedrooms with attched bathrooms. please clarify whether to have a wall mounted closet or a floor mounted close. And also traditional wall mixer or 3 way divertor, which is best. With Regards.
