Kohler, Moen & Delta Faucet

Bathroom & Fittings 5 × non-EU 6 × European alternatives

The German tap you would switch to is often American.

This is the card where the obvious answer is wrong. Grohe and Hansgrohe are the two names most people reach for when they want a European bathroom, and neither qualifies: Grohe belongs to LIXIL of Japan, and Masco of Michigan holds roughly 68% of Hansgrohe — the same Masco that owns Delta Faucet. The alternatives below are the ones still owned where they are made.
