Vogt is a Canadian faucet, shower and sink brand headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario. This guide explains what Vogt says about its brass construction and PVD finishes, what its lifetime warranty actually covers (in Vogt’s own words), what the range looks like on our site, and who should — and shouldn’t — buy it. Everything below comes from Vogt’s official pages, its spec sheets, or our own product pages. Where Vogt doesn’t say something publicly, we say so instead of guessing.

What is Vogt, and where is it based?
Vogt Sinks and Faucets Ltd. lists its head office at 6767 Pacific Circle in Mississauga, Ontario, with a customer line at 1-888-215-8648 (see Vogt’s contact page). Its website presents curated collections for the bathroom, kitchen and laundry. On our site that translates into three main product groups: faucets and shower systems, kitchen and laundry sinks, and matching bath accessories.
One thing Vogt’s public pages do not state is where each product is manufactured, so we don’t make claims about factory location or tooling. If that matters to your project, ask Vogt customer care directly.
Brass bodies and PVD finishes: what Vogt actually says
Two phrases show up again and again in Vogt’s official material: brass and PVD. Here is how they map to what you can verify:
| Topic | What Vogt says officially | Where to check it yourself |
|---|---|---|
| PVD finish | Physical Vapour Deposition; the finish is bonded directly to the brass body instead of being a coating applied over the metal, for protection from scratches and corrosion (Vogt FAQ). | The finish name on each product page (for example Chrome, Matte Black, Brushed Nickel, Brushed Gold). |
| Lead-free faucets | Vogt’s kitchen page states all Vogt faucets are lead-free. | NSF/ANSI 61 listing on faucet product pages such as the Zehn kitchen faucet. |
| Solid brass | Stated per product. | Product pages that say “Solid brass construction”: the Amade kitchen faucet, the Kapfenberg lavatory faucet and the Worgl double towel bar. |
| Ceramic disk cartridges | Listed on faucet pages and in Vogt’s spec sheets. | “Ceramic disk cartridge” in the description of each faucet. |
| Standards | Vogt cites UPC, the National Plumbing Code of Canada, and ASME A112.18.1 / CSA B125.1. | The certifications block on each product page. |
A practical note: PVD is a durable finish, but Vogt’s care guidance still says to wipe fixtures dry, use mild pH-neutral soap, and avoid ammonia, bleach and alcohol-based cleaners. Abrasive cleaners and steel wool are also excluded from warranty coverage.
What the Vogt range looks like
Vogt organizes much of its range into named families, so a shower kit, a faucet and a towel bar can share styling and finishes. Finish options vary by family and by model, so always confirm on the specific product page.
| Category | Examples on our site | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Shower kits and valves | Kapfenberg 1-way pressure-balanced kit, Worgl 2-way thermostatic kit, Kapfenberg 3-way thermostatic kit | Kits (SET) and trims (TM) plus rough-in valves (VE) are sold as separate parts. See our Vogt shower kit guide. |
| Kitchen faucets | Zehn, Amade, Zehn bridge | The Zehn and Amade pages list 1.75 gpm (6.6 L/min) at 60 psi and a pull-out spray with 2 stream functions. |
| Pot filler | Drava pot filler | Single-hole wall mount with a double-jointed swing spout, per the product page. |
| Bathroom | Kapfenberg lavatory faucet, Worgl double towel bar | The lavatory faucet page lists a pop-up drain as included and 1.5 gpm (5.7 L/min). |
| Kitchen sinks | Volker 16R, Ternitz 18R, Mitterdorf GS (Vogranite), Siena (Classic series) | Stainless sinks come in Premium, Contemporary and Classic series; our sink guide compares them. |
The Vogt warranty, in plain language
Vogt publishes its terms on its warranty page. We summarize it here, but the wording on Vogt’s page is what governs. The headline is a Limited Lifetime Warranty, which is not the same as unconditional coverage.
| Question | What Vogt’s published warranty says |
|---|---|
| What’s covered? | Defects in workmanship and materials under normal residential use, including ceramic disk cartridges, valves and cartridges (pressure-balanced and thermostatic), components such as hoses, hand showers, sliding bars, showerheads and spouts, and chrome, PVD, electroplated and powder-coated finishes. |
| Who’s covered? | The original owner-purchaser. It is not transferable. |
| What do you need? | Proof of purchase (the original dated sales receipt) from Vogt or an authorized Vogt dealer. |
| What’s the remedy? | Replacement parts or a product of equal value, at Vogt’s option. Vogt may inspect first. Shipping and labour costs are not included. |
| What’s excluded? | Misuse, improper installation, abrasive cleaners and steel wool, outdoor use and normal wear. Vogt asks for installation by licensed professionals. |
| Commercial use? | Vogt lists a shorter, one-year term for commercial use. |
| Vogranite sinks? | A separate limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects under regular household use. Cuts, chips, burns, stains and impact damage are excluded. |
| How do you claim? | Vogt customer care: 1-888-215-8648 ext. 500 or service@vogtindustries.com, with proof of purchase, product information and a description or photos. |
Keep your receipt, keep the spec sheet and keep the installer’s invoice. Those three documents solve most warranty conversations.
Why we carry Vogt
We are a Canadian online plumbing retailer, and we look for brands that make a project easier to plan. Vogt earns its place on our site for practical reasons rather than slogans:
- Coordinated families. Kapfenberg and Worgl, for example, span shower kits, faucets and accessories, so a bathroom can look consistent without hunting across brands.
- Clear part logic. SET, TM and VE product codes tell you what is a full kit, what is trim only and what is the rough-in valve.
- Published documentation. Vogt publishes installation instructions and spec sheets for key valves and sinks, which is what a plumber needs.
- Kitchen and bath in one place. Faucets, pot fillers, stainless sinks and Vogranite sinks live in one Vogt collection.
Who should buy Vogt — and who shouldn’t
| You are… | Vogt is a good fit if… | Consider other options if… |
|---|---|---|
| A homeowner planning a bathroom | You like a coordinated finish (chrome, matte black, brushed nickel or brushed gold, model-dependent) and will have a licensed plumber install it. | You need to match existing fixtures from another brand exactly. |
| A contractor | You want documented valve depths, flow rates and cartridge part numbers on spec sheets. | Your job specifies a particular product line or a certification not listed on the product page. |
| A kitchen renovator | You want a faucet and sink from one family. | You need a specific sink size or bowl layout that isn’t among the Vogt models on our site. |
| A commercial buyer | You have reviewed Vogt’s shorter commercial-use warranty term. | You need long-term commercial coverage. |
Like any brand, Vogt draws mixed opinions online. Rather than repeat forum anecdotes, we suggest you check the numbers that matter: flow rate at 60 psi, valve rough-in depth and cartridge type. Those are published, and they are the best predictors of whether a product will suit your home.

Frequently asked questions
Is Vogt a Canadian brand?
Vogt Sinks and Faucets Ltd. lists its address as 6767 Pacific Circle, Mississauga, Ontario, and cites Canadian standards such as the National Plumbing Code of Canada and CSA B125.1 for its faucets.
Are Vogt faucets good?
Vogt faucets are built around brass bodies, ceramic disk cartridges and PVD finishes, and the brand cites UPC, National Plumbing Code of Canada and ASME A112.18.1 / CSA B125.1 compliance. As with any brand, opinions online vary, so compare the flow rate, cartridge type and rough-in details on the spec sheet against your project.
Where are Vogt faucets made?
Vogt’s public website does not state a country of manufacture for its products, so we do not make that claim either. For a definitive answer, contact Vogt customer care at 1-888-215-8648.
What is PVD on a faucet?
PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition. According to Vogt’s FAQ, the finish is bonded directly to the brass body rather than applied as a coating over the metal, which is intended to protect against scratches and corrosion.
Does Vogt have a lifetime warranty?
Vogt publishes a Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original owner-purchaser covering defects in workmanship and materials under normal residential use, with proof of purchase required and exclusions for misuse, improper installation and normal wear. Commercial use has a shorter term. Read the full terms on Vogt’s warranty page.
Is the Vogt warranty transferable?
No. Vogt’s published terms state that the warranty is for the original owner-purchaser and is not transferable.
Do Vogt shower kits include the rough-in valve?
It depends on the product. Vogt sells complete SET kits that include the valve, and TM trims that require a separate VE rough-in valve. Check the product page for “Rough-in included” or “valve is required” before ordering. Our shower kit guide explains the difference in detail.
Can I install a Vogt faucet myself?
Vogt’s instructions recommend an experienced professional plumber, and its warranty excludes improper installation and asks for licensed-professional installation. For shower valves in particular, a licensed plumber is the safer route.
Our honest recommendation
Choose Vogt if you value a coordinated, documented product family and you are comfortable reading a warranty that is detailed and conditional. Choose something else if you need a very specific sink size, an exact match to fixtures you already own, or long-term commercial warranty coverage. If you are unsure, start with the two guides linked above, confirm the spec sheet for your exact model, and have your plumber review the rough-in requirements before you order.
