Over time, both residential and commercial properties have evolved to a point where fixtures and fittings have assumed a tradition that speaks of luxury and aesthetics.
Companies which are involved in all these are also redefining their products and services to fit into this new tradition, each creating a niche for itself as home for the finest of these products which include bathrooms, lightings and accessories.
In Nigeria, many local firms have foreign partners who are leading names in bathroom and lighting solutions in European countries like Germany, Italy and Switzerland.
Because of these partnerships, the building materials market in Nigeria harbours an array of foreign fixtures and fittings which create aura of splendour and luxury in many homes.
Il bagno Nigeria Limited is a leading name among local companies in Nigeria who are in partnership with foreign firms such as Artemide, Iguzzinni and Axo. For bathrooms. The company stocks such luxury products as Duravit, Laufen, Jacuzzi, Geberit, Hanghohe and Inda.
IL Bagno CEO, Michael Owolabi, says they aim to offer unmatched bathroom solutions using products of modern and classic design to create bathrooms that are exclusive reflections of who the customer or buyer is, adding that they also combine knowledge, passion and the finest of European products to create state-of-the-art bathrooms, to allow their clients to escape to pure relaxation and indulgence.
The company takes its product and service delivery out of the ordinary which is why when they take on a project, their experienced consultants pay close attention to the client’s requirements and design a 3D model of the completed bathroom.
“At IL Bagno, we are driven not only by an insatiable thirst for leadership in global design but also by the passion for excellence in customer service delivery”, the CEO says, disclosing that the company offers such services as the design and supply of bathroom themes, product specification and superb after-sales-service and with this they cater to clients of all classes from any part of the country.

“Our project and client list spanning our many years of business is not only reflective of how far we have come, but indicative of how far we intend to go”, the CEO enthused.
He assured prospective customers that they are niche product and service providers, adding that as the company is growing, so is their volume just as their discount offer has grown to 15 percent and sometimes a lot more.
The company is also evolving into a socially responsible corporate citizen and have donated toilet facilities to the Ikoyi Club in Lagos as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR).
In spite of their success stories, there are some challenges which the company faces ranging from people and infrastructure to ports operations and power supply.
After 10 unbroken years of operations in Lagos offering unmatched products and services in fixtures and fittings for both residential and commercial properties, IL bagno has developed an iconic office complex in Abuja, the federal capital territory.
The office complex, fondly called Rachael Court, was unveiled as part of the 10th year anniversary celebration of the company recently and, according to the authorities of the company, it is aimed to cover the northern Nigerian markets.
