Why Choose Artos? A Better Alternative to Big Brands

When you're working on a bathroom or kitchen project—whether you're a homeowner, designer, architect, or dealer—there are a few brands that always come up: Delta, Kohler, Moen. These are the go-to names many people default to. And we get it. They've become market leaders for a reason.

But more and more people are asking:
“What about Artos?”

If you're new to the brand, here's what you need to know—and why choosing Artos could be the best design decision you make.

We’re Not a Giant Brand. That’s the Point.

Artos is a family-owned business with a mission that guides everything we do:
To be the easiest company to do business with.

We keep things simple. We keep things personal. And we stay focused on what matters most: quality, design, and making life easier for the people we serve.

We respect the bigger brands. They’ve earned their place as market leaders. But at Artos, we embrace the underdog mentality. We work harder, think faster, and care deeply about every product and every customer. When you choose Artos, you're not just picking a product—you're joining a team that puts people first.

 

Built for Real-Life Use, Backed for Life

You don’t have to compromise on materials or performance to work with a smaller brand. In fact, with Artos, you often get more where it counts:

• Solid Brass Construction – Durable, corrosion-resistant, and made to last. Unlike many big brands that use zinc on their budget lines, Artos prioritizes solid brass construction where it matters most. Zinc is a softer, more porous metal that corrodes more quickly and doesn’t offer the same durability or premium feel. It’s cheaper, but it shows. For components like hand showers and shower heads where plastic is required by code or practicality, we clearly note it—never hidden, never misleading.

• Ceramic Disc Cartridges – Smooth operation with no drips or weak points.

• Lifetime Warranty – On paper, it’s strong. In practice, it’s even better. We respond quickly, solve problems fast, and stand behind everything we sell.

Design That’s Intentional, Not Trendy

At Artos, we believe great design comes from restraint, not excess.

Our team is small but passionate. Every product starts with a sketch—then gets reviewed, debated, refined, and sometimes completely reworked until we’re sure it’s the right solution. We design with longevity in mind. That means clean lines, balanced proportions, and styles that feel relevant for decades—not just a few seasons.

We offer five core design families:

• Square – Sharp and architectural

• Round – Soft and streamlined

• Square + Round – A blend of structure and softness

• Transitional – Timeless and versatile

• Classic – Rich in tradition, updated for today

Some brands offer dozens—sometimes hundreds—of disconnected styles. But more isn’t always better. That level of variety can overwhelm the selection process and lead to inconsistent results. Our five curated families are intentional and complete, making it easy to find the right fit without overcomplicating your vision.
