Few names in the world of bath and kitchen fixtures carry the same weight as Kohler. Founded in 1873 in Wisconsin, USA, Kohler has grown from a humble foundry into one of the most recognized global brands in plumbing, design, and lifestyle products. With nearly 150 years of history, the company is synonymous with durability, timeless style, and relentless innovation.
At Dupont Kitchen & Bath, we carry Kohler because it strikes the perfect balance between heritage and modernity. The brand consistently delivers high-performance products for toilets, faucets, sinks, bathtubs, and wellness innovations that meet the needs of both homeowners and trade professionals.
Today, Kohler operates on a truly global scale, with manufacturing and design centers in North America, Europe, and Asia. The brand isn’t just about plumbing; its portfolio covers kitchen and bath fixtures, cabinetry, tile, engines, generators, and even hospitality ventures such as world-class golf resorts.
For the purposes of bathroom and kitchen design, however, Kohler’s scope focuses on three primary pillars:
Bath & Kitchen Fixtures – toilets, sinks, faucets, bathtubs, and shower systems.
Wellness Products – digital showers, smart toilets, whirlpools, and hydrotherapy tubs.
Sustainable Innovation – water-saving technologies, LEED-compatible fixtures, and eco-conscious manufacturing practices.
This wide reach allows Kohler to serve a range of customers: from homeowners completing a simple powder room refresh to architects designing luxury hotel suites.
Kohler’s reputation in toilets is unmatched. They produce everything from entry-level two-piece toilets to smart bidet toilets with heated seats and self-cleaning functions.
Powerful flushing technology: AquaPiston canister flush ensures 360-degree water flow for efficient waste removal.
Water efficiency: Many models meet or exceed EPA WaterSense requirements, using only 1.28 gallons per flush.
Comfort designs: Comfort Height toilets provide a chair-height seating position for ease of use.
Bidet functionality: Intelligent toilets like the Veil® and Eir® integrate advanced cleansing, warm air drying, and automatic lids.
For Toronto homeowners, Kohler toilets offer both practical reliability and luxury upgrades, fitting every level of renovation.
Kohler faucets are known for flawless finishes, ergonomic designs, and precision engineering. Whether in the kitchen or bathroom, their fixtures balance timeless aesthetics with cutting-edge technology.
Widespread, single-hole, and wall-mounted styles.
Finishes like polished chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, and vibrant brushed modern brass.
Touchless options for enhanced hygiene.
Pull-down and pull-out sprayers for maximum flexibility.
Semi-professional styles for serious cooks.
Voice-activated faucets integrating with smart home systems.
Pro Tip: Kohler finishes are engineered to resist corrosion and tarnishing, making them ideal for long-term use in both residential and commercial projects.
Kohler elevates bathing into an experience. The brand invests heavily in hydrotherapy, whirlpools, and digital wellness technologies.
Freestanding bathtubs: Sleek sculptural pieces that anchor luxury bathrooms.
Whirlpool tubs: Targeted hydrotherapy jets for muscle relaxation.
BubbleMassage™ baths: Thousands of warm air bubbles for a spa-like soak.
Digital controls: Customizable water temperature, jet intensity, and lighting.
This aligns with Dupont Kitchen & Bath’s emphasis on wellness and spa-inspired living. Kohler’s wellness line makes luxury accessible without requiring full-scale renovations.
Kohler offers everything from classic pressure-balancing shower valves to fully digital showering systems.
Statement™ Showering Collection: Multi-function showerheads and rain panels with advanced spray technologies.
Anthem™ Digital Controls: Smart thermostatic controls that allow precise customization of flow, temperature, and presets.
Water-saving models: Engineered for performance while reducing consumption.
By bridging analog reliability with digital sophistication, Kohler ensures homeowners and designers have options at every level of innovation.
One of Kohler’s most important contributions to the industry is its focus on sustainability. The company set ambitious environmental goals under the “Believing in Better” initiative, aiming for net zero environmental impact by 2035.
WaterSense-certified products save billions of gallons of water annually.
ReKOHLer program promotes recycling and responsible disposal.
Sustainable manufacturing reduces waste, energy use, and emissions globally.
This commitment resonates with eco-conscious Canadian homeowners who want to align renovations with green building standards.
Kohler has always championed the idea that “the bathroom is not just functional—it’s personal, stylish, and expressive.”
Collaborations: Kohler frequently works with leading designers to launch collections that blend artistry with utility.
Heritage of innovation: From the first enameled cast iron bathtub to modern smart toilets, Kohler has repeatedly set industry standards.
Finish palette: With everything from traditional polished chrome to bold matte black, Kohler allows homeowners to coordinate fixtures seamlessly across rooms.
One of Kohler’s strengths is its broad pricing spectrum.
Entry-Level: Reliable two-piece toilets, basic faucets, and utility sinks at affordable prices.
Mid-Range: Stylish bathroom suites, freestanding tubs, semi-pro kitchen faucets.
Premium: Smart toilets, designer collections, luxury hydrotherapy baths, and digital shower systems.
This makes Kohler appealing across demographics—whether it’s a first-time condo buyer or a luxury homeowner investing in a spa retreat.
Compared to brands like TOTO, Moen, and American Standard, Kohler positions itself as a balanced option—premium but not unattainable.
TOTO often leads in bidet toilet technology, but Kohler offers broader design variety and finish customization.
Moen dominates North America in faucets, but Kohler offers a stronger range of toilets and wellness products.
American Standard competes in the value segment, while Kohler leans toward mid-premium and luxury tiers.
For Canadian homeowners and contractors, Kohler strikes the right note of quality, style, and availability.
At Dupont, we curate brands that reflect longevity, wellness, and design excellence. Kohler consistently delivers in all three categories.
Proven durability: Products that withstand decades of use.
Design flexibility: Works in both modern and traditional spaces.
Trade-trusted: Contractors appreciate the consistency and availability.
Wellness leadership: Hydrotherapy, digital showering, and intelligent toilets elevate the everyday bathroom.
Kohler isn’t just a brand; it’s a legacy of innovation, sustainability, and design leadership that has shaped bathrooms and kitchens worldwide. Whether you need a reliable toilet, a stylish faucet, or a wellness-enhancing tub, Kohler provides solutions that combine heritage craftsmanship with modern technology.
At Dupont Kitchen & Bath, we are proud to be a Toronto destination for Kohler toilets, faucets, showers, bathtubs, and wellness products. We help you choose the right products for your renovation—balancing aesthetics, performance, and budget—so your investment lasts for years to come.
