About

Our family has provided premium bathroomware for New Zealand architects, homeowners, developers, builders, and plumbers for over 65 years.

This experience has shown us the lasting legacy of quality.  From the durability and safety that comes from high quality base materials, to the superior functionality of German engineering. From the time-consuming hand-crafted finishes passed down through generations of family artisans, to the sustainable practices that underpin many of our European manufacturers.

It’s not just the aesthetics and performance of our products that stands up to your scrutiny, it’s also the accountability that comes from being a family business. We value that many of our manufacturers are also family businesses just like ours, and that we share a common goal to create a continuing legacy of lasting quality, with integrity, to all of our customers.

Testimonials

We dealt with the Franklin team in 2017 with a new build in Whitby. From day one, Michele and her team provided exceptional customer service by ensuring our needs were met every step of the way. There were a few challenges throughout the project, but the Franklin team were extremely professional and took a problem solving approach to alleviate any unnecessary stress during the project. Following the completion of the project, we have been able to rely on the team to sort out any (small) issues in a timely and an efficient manner. I highly recommend Franklins to help with your building project – we certainly intend to for our next project!

"I would like to thank you for all of your help and patience in assisting us with our ensuite renovation. We are 95% there now after a bit of to and fro, design changes, Covid 19 delays etc but I have to say the ensuite is looking great. Really appreciative your friendly advice, flexibility and professionalism whenever we had any of our many changes occur. It definately made things a lot easier for Char and I."
