Sanitary Ware Sanitary ware is an umbrella term that refers to sanitary appliances found in the toilets, bathrooms, and kitchen. Thus, a sanitary ware is any product that works with pipes and fixed by a plumber. It refers to toilet sinks, kitchen sinks, washbasins, cisterns, urinals, and pedestals. Traditionally, Sanitary wares were manufactured using porcelain. This is a material produced by heating Vitreous china to temperatures above 1200 0 C. It is usually resistant to chemical attack and has a glossy surface making it easy to maintain. However, with the advancement in technology, Porcelain is no longer the only material used for producing sanitary wares. Glass, metals, granite, plastic, and other materials are now used for the production of sanitary wares.
