Plumbing has ceased to be a strictly functional trade and has become a sector highly technical and innovativeAdvances in materials, water efficiency, and technology are transforming the way we design and implement facilities.
In LambásAs specialized distributors, we tell you about the main trends that will define the plumbing sector this year.
✅ 1. Multi-layer and PEX materials: flexible, durable and quick to install
The replacement of copper with pipes multilayer and PEX (crosslinked polyethylene) continues to consolidate, thanks to:
-
Easy installation without welding.
-
Resistance to corrosion and aging.
-
Excellent performance under pressure and temperature.
The systems of compression or press-fitting connection allow for a faster, cleaner, and safer installation. Brands such as Uponor or Giacomini offer high-performance solutions.
? 2. Water efficiency and water savings
Sustainability is key in modern plumbing. New solutions focus on reduce water consumption without losing comfort, as:
-
Faucets with flow limiters or aerators.
-
Dual flush systems in cisterns.
-
Smart DHW recirculators to prevent hot water losses.
In addition, in tertiary and hotel projects, systems of consumption monitoring and leak detection.
? 3. Prefabrication of systems
More and more installers are opting for pre-assembled hydraulic manifolds, ready-to-install plumbing kits and modular structures:
-
Saving time on site.
-
Fewer errors and better quality control.
-
Cleaner and more organized facilities.
This is especially useful in mass housing, comprehensive renovations or service buildings.
? 4. Connected plumbing and home automation
Yes, connectivity is also coming to the world of water:
-
Leak detectors with automatic closing via Wi-Fi.
-
Smart valves that cut off the supply from the mobile.
-
Water quality and consumption sensors for efficient buildings.
These solutions allow for a predictive maintenance and reduce accidents due to breakages or hidden leaks.
? 5. Design and comfort in the bathroom
The bathroom evolves into a space of comfort and efficiency:
-
Wall-hung toilets and built-in cisterns with a minimalist design.
-
Thermostatic and electronic faucets (with sensor or digital control).
-
Large-format showers and linear drainage systems.
In addition, the demand for solutions for accessibility and reduced mobility, driven by the renovation of old homes.
