Choosing your faucet can be overwhelming, especially in the wide Canadian market. But we have good news: you don't need to search elsewhere because Canadian faucet brands are standing proud in this competition, not only for the domestic market, but also worldwide. And for us, Canadians, this also means lower delivery costs and easy access to replacement parts. Let's talk about Riobel and Kalia, two of the most famous Canadian faucet brands, and compare them to find out who is the best Canadian faucet manufacturer.

Riobel

Riobel was founded in Quebec in 1995. Today, it is one of the world's largest faucet manufacturers, famous for its advanced engineering and outstanding quality. They design their faucets in Canada, and offer a lifetime warranty on working parts and major finishes (chrome, PVD finish, and black).

Since 2016, Riobel has been part of the House of Rohl family: a group of exclusive and luxury brands, which especially highlights their worldwide recognition. But the Canadian manufacturing standards are still in their DNA. Riobel faucets are perfect for Canadian hard water conditions, replacement parts are always nearby, and customer support is always ready to help if any issues arise.

It is probably the best Canadian brand in terms of reliability, accessibility and design.

Kalia

Founded in 2007, Kalia is another Quebec-based brand, famous for its quality products and outstanding designs, which are created in their Sainte-Marie headquarters. The company was founded by David Poulin, Bruno Raby and Marie-France Poulin, and today is still owned by the Poulin family. This family-based approach is reflected in its products. Kalia cherishes Canadian values - their products are built to last, and are aesthetically pleasing.

Compared to Riobel, it is a smaller company, but their reputation is strong in Canadian markets, due to their attention to detail and modern designs. Their biggest benefit is that you get designer products without overpricing, which has earned them trust among Canadian homeowners.

What to choose?

If you don't have any specific needs, choose Riobel. They are easier to maintain due to availability in any part of Canada. They have products from both mid and high price ranges, and their quality is reliable. Both plumbers and homeowners agree on this point.

If you're looking into a more custom and designer approach but without a premium price tag - take a look at Kalia products. They are elegant and look great in any home style, both classic and contemporary.
