Discover the Latest Home Plumbing Trends for 2024

If you plan to update your plumbing for the new year, it helps to know the latest plumbing products that are popular with homeowners. Driving factors are energy efficiency, sustainability, convenience, and comfort. Homeowners are more eco-conscious and expect smart technology to be available for all aspects of their homes — including plumbing. From smart toilets to solar power, here are the plumbing trends for 2024.

Increased Demand for Smart Technology

It’s no surprise that homeowners are demanding smart versions of their plumbing. Consumers welcome high-tech appliances that offer innovative technology for the convenience and efficiency it provides.  

• Voice-activated controls. Adjust the temperature of your bath or shower, start your washing machine, 
• Touchless. Rather than adjusting a knob or handle, touchless relies on motion sensing for controlling water faucet flow and toilet flushing. 
• Smart toilets. While still priced as a luxury item, their demand is expected to grow, with sales expected to climb to $13 billion by 2028. Smart toilets typically provide auto flush, heated seats, bidet, auto open and shut seat covers, and adjust water to how much is needed per flush. 

Growing Adoption of Eco-Friendly Plumbing

As awareness of climate issues grows, so does the demand for sustainable plumbing. In an effort to reduce their carbon footprint, homeowners are “going green” with plumbing options that conserve water and energy.

• Water-efficient (low-flow) fixtures
• Reverse osmosis and water filtration systems
• Tankless water heaters
• Solar-powered water heaters

Preference for Copper Piping Alternatives

With the price of copper increasing, homeowners are looking for ways to reduce costs when upgrading or installing new plumbing. That’s led to an increasing adoption of PEX and PVC piping. Both are resistant to corrosion and rust and decrease maintenance costs.
