FORTIS Faucets: Puro Design Italiano

Some brands have a history that is tangible in the look and feel of their products. It’s as if, when you touch a piece of the collection, you can feel the years of quality and craftsmanship that went into creating it. FORTIS faucets have that effect.  

It was postwar Italy where FORTIS founder Mario Paini was apprenticing in a workshop making faucet components. But Paini had dreams of creating his own designs and establishing a company of his own. FORTIS was born, and it has never lost sight of that original goal: combine the best of Italian design and craftsmanship to create beautiful, luxurious plumbing fixtures. FORTIS is one of the few brands still 100% crafted in Italy, under the leadership of Mario’s son, Marco, and continues to uphold its proud tradition with an extensive portfolio of exceptional fixtures and faucets with the high fashion and superior quality that has long been synonymous with Italian design. This history and tradition are what set FORTIS apart, and these exceptional fixtures are exclusive to Ferguson.  

One of the many distinguishing factors of the FORTIS brand is its holistic approach to research and design. By working with innovators as well as consumers, they develop products that work for your home and with your design style. The result is a sophisticated design and some of the highest quality in the industry.

Although the company originated in the Old World, FORTIS is not afraid to use modern manufacturing techniques. Cutting-edge technology and modern robotics ensure that every faucet performs to the highest standards. Then, as has been their tradition for over 60 years, each product is hand-inspected to satisfy even the most discerning clients. 

FORTIS collections include finishes and configurations to complete all bathroom project needs for a look of opulence, complete with matching freestanding tub fillers and bath accessories in all finishes.

Some of our favorite bathroom collections are the Vitrina, Abruzzo, Scala, Corsini, Brera, Uffizi. We love the Abruzzo, Scala, Brera, and Vitrina collections in the Black Brushed finish and the Brera and Vitrina collections in Brushed Gold. The Black Brushed and Brushed Gold are PVD (lifetime finishes) with a lifetime guarantee. There is also the Gattinara, which is available in Polished Chrome and Brushed Nickel.

FORTIS brand bath collections are complemented by a wide array of kitchen faucets, also available in multiple finishes and configurations.

FORTIS brand faucets are made of solid brass for long-lasting durability, have Advanced Ceramic Disc Valve Technology, are CalGreen compliant, WaterSense compliant, and ADA compliant. 

What makes FORTIS exceptional is their small artisan roots, the tradition of Italian design, and commitment to quality fixtures. What you’ll love are the distinctive styles you can only find here!
