Yes. Samples can be arranged before a volume order — useful for checking finish, build quality, flow characteristics, and fit with your tile before committing. Sample costs and shipping are quoted separately and confirmed before dispatch.
What a sample order is good for
- Finish check — brushed, polished or PVD matte black as they look in reality, not on screen
- Build quality — weld quality, frame machining, grate seating, trap mechanism
- Fit check — frame height against your actual tile thickness
- Flow check — physical flow behaviour for high-output showers
- Client approval — physical samples are far more persuasive to a specifier than photographs
How sample orders are handled
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Quantity | Typical sample quantities are small; larger quantities are quoted as a trial order |
| Cost | Sample cost plus shipping, confirmed before dispatch |
| Lead time | Shorter than production orders for stock items |
| Shipping | Courier for small quantities; consolidated with an order if one is placed |
| Custom samples | Custom lengths and private label are quoted as trial orders rather than samples |

For container-quantity purchasing, a trial order is often more useful than a sample — a smaller quantity of the actual production specification, shipped normally, so you can test the product in the market before scaling up.
