While the world of plumbing isn’t necessarily the first industry you’d think would be influenced by trends, the sector is as innovative as many others. In fact, embracing innovation as a plumber is the key to staying ahead of the competition, and keeping your customers and their properties as pioneering as they should be.
Whether you keep up with the latest plumbing trends to complement your contemporary property or to make everyday life a little easier, you’ll want to read our rundown of the advancements to expect during 2024.
Smart devices have dominated the technology sector for some time, with the latest smart gadgets infiltrating our homes and business premises to make processes more effective and efficient. Smart technology is now growing in popularity within the plumbing sector, and 2024 is THE year that things take off.
Smart toilets that go above and beyond automatic flushing, smart water heaters that make intuitive energy savings, and touch-free sinks and faucets that put hygiene first are all expected to be big news in the year ahead.
Household leaks are extremely common, with even the smallest problem leading to major destruction if the issue isn’t resolved in a timely manner.
Rot, mould growth, water pressure drops, structural problems, and cosmetic issues (like discolouration and peeling) are all commonly linked to household leaks. Increased water bills also go hand-in-hand with leaks. Yet with the latest tech, pesky water leaks could be detected easily and resolved quicker.
Leak detectors are expected to be one of the biggest and best plumbing trends of 2024 as well as vital fixtures in UK properties.
Eco-friendly practices have been embraced wholeheartedly by a growing number of people, with the UK’s mission to turn the tide on climate change important for individuals from all walks of life. Sustainable plumbing practices are set to hit the mainstream during 2024, with the use of greywater – which is waste water from baths, sinks, washing machines and other fixtures and appliances – leading the way.
The use of water efficient fixtures, such as low-flow faucets and toilets, is also set to take the UK plumbing industry by storm.
The rising cost of copper has seen prices increase for everyone looking to commission a plumber. With this in mind, the use of alternative materials such as PEX and PVC, is expected to rise during 2024 to make plumbing more affordable and accessible to all.
