Koupelny Ptáček

What Koupelny Ptáček does

Koupelny Ptáček is the trading name under which Ptáček - velkoobchod, a.s. (a privately held Czech joint-stock company, IČO 25501143) operates the largest bathroom retail showroom network in the Czech Republic. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Prague, the company runs 61+ dedicated bathroom studios and 70+ total branches across major Czech cities (Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň, Olomouc, Liberec, Hradec Králové, České Budějovice, Česká Lípa), complemented by installation centers, wholesale outlets, premium showrooms, and outlet stores. The catalog spans over 30,668 SKUs organized into five price tiers (Ekonomy, Komfort, Design, Top, Premium) covering tiles, bathroom furniture, faucets, bathtubs, toilets, shower enclosures, heating, and accessories, including exclusive Czech distribution rights for premium international brands (Cristina Rubinetterie, GKI, TOTO) and a proprietary private label (Concept).

The business operates a hybrid B2C/B2B go-to-market centered on in-person showroom consultation, free 3D design proposals with photorealistic rendering, and verified installation firm referrals. The core technology stack is a 3D graphical bathroom design tool (with virtual reality available at selected studios) used to drive conversion on high-consideration renovation purchases. Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based product sales (no online checkout — purchases require showroom specialist engagement), with secondary revenue from professional design consulting services bundled into purchases and an affiliated installation referral model. Pricing is in Czech Koruna with 21% VAT, free delivery above 5,000 CZK, and unit pricing per square meter for tiles/flooring and per unit for fixtures. The company operates B2C (ptacek-shop.cz) and B2B (eshop.ptacek.cz) e-commerce storefronts for catalog browsing and trade procurement, with primary sales completed through the physical showroom channel. Koupelny Ptáček sits within the broader Ptáček Group (Skupina Ptáček), which also encompasses Installatércentra for heating, water, gas, and alternative energy wholesale.
