About Waterworks
Waterworks is a luxury bath and kitchen company founded in Connecticut in 1978. It began as a small family business selling specialty bath fittings for homes and has since developed a broad collection for residential and commercial spaces. The company describes its approach as combining design, artisanal craftsmanship, and engineering, with a focus on products intended to deliver lasting performance as well as visual quality.
Its product range spans bath and kitchen fittings and fixtures, bathtubs, sinks, accessories, lighting, surfaces, and cabinetry. Waterworks presents these products as coordinated design resources for creating distinctive rooms, with collections that encompass traditional, transitional, and contemporary styles.
