1900s Plumbing Revolution

Did You Know? What was happening during the 1900s plumbing revolution?

Did you know that the transition into the 1900s ushered in a golden age of sanitation including mass production of sanitary fixtures, a flushing water closet and improved bathtubs using cast iron and lead.

What was once a luxury for wealthy or royal folks who could afford it — plumbing became the new health standard for everyone! A name we still hear today — Kohler — revolutionized bathroom health be designing and producing the first single-piece, enameled cast-iron tub with an integral apron. This eliminated the seams and crevices of the previously used two-piece tubs.
