With limited income, workers hope that affordable, convenient apartments and especially equipped with small but useful details will help them feel secure living and working long-term.
For many years, social housing has been a top concern for low-income people in large cities and industrial parks. An apartment is not only a place to live but also an asset accumulated for life, a foundation for workers to settle down and stabilize their lives. However, the story of "residence" is not only decided by area or selling price, but also depends on taking care of every detail in the apartment, from the arrangement of space to the equipment used daily.
According to Decision 444/QD-TTg, in the period of 2025-2030, the whole country needs to build more than one million social housing apartments, of which in 2025 alone, there is a target of handing over about 100,000 apartments and in 2026 more than 160,000 apartments. However, as of September 2025, the actual figure has only stopped at more than 43,600 units, reaching nearly half of the plan set by the Government. This shows that there is still a huge gap between demand and supply, and at the same time, the demand for social housing not only needs more, but also needs to be better to truly meet the expectations of workers.
From a practical perspective, workers, office workers or traders - the main subjects of social housing policies - often have a simple wish. They do not require luxury, but instead want the apartment to be sturdy, space-optimized and especially cost-of- living. In a small apartment with limited bathroom space, a compact sink, an easy-to-clean bridge table or a water-saving water faucet become an important factor.
"If the bathroom is small, everything should be neat. If the water pipe or bridge table is broken, it will cost money to repair and be a inconvenience in daily life, said Mr. Tuan - a mechanical technician in Bac Ninh.
In reality, toilet equipment, which is often considered a secondary detail, plays a central role in the daily life experience. The house can be wide or narrow, the living room can be simple or elaborate, but the bathroom and bathroom can be used many times a day. The quality of cleaning equipment contributes directly to the convenience, safety and long-term living expenses of each family. A non-stick sink saves cleaning time, a water pump saves monthly bill costs, or a compact bridge table design that optimizes the area for an apartment of just a few dozen square meters - all of which make a big difference in the lives of workers.
Currently, many investors in social housing projects have prioritized choosing domestically produced products that meet international standards, have reasonable prices and are suitable for small-scale apartments. Among them, Viglacera is one of the pioneering domestic enterprises in providing hygiene equipment for a series of social housing projects across the country. With the advantage of domestic production, the application of modern technology according to European standards and optimal area design, these products both meet the criteria of durability, beauty, and economy, and help reduce construction costs to make apartment prices more affordable.
Wall-mounted washing pots are the priority choice for bathroom spaces that require compactness
Ms. Lan - a textile and garment worker in Ho Chi Minh City - shared: "A durable, easy-to- clean, and affordable basement is much more important than expensive items but takes up space and is not suitable. Small apartments, every square meter is precious, so cleaning equipment must be reasonable." Ms. Lan's story reflects the common concern of many people: for them, the quality of life does not come from luxury, but from convenience and perseverance in every detail.
Looking at the big picture, the success of a social housing project is not only calculated by the number of apartments handed over on time, but also depends on the lasting satisfaction of residents in the following years. When workers can rest assured that their apartments do not incur repair costs, do not increase the burden of monthly bills, they will truly feel the value of housing policies. And when each family is stable, they will be attached to their work, business as well as the locality where they live for longer.
In the context of the increasing demand for social housing, especially in the 2025-2026 period, the choice of synchronous solutions, including sanitary equipment, is the key to improving the quality of life. The appearance of high-quality domestic brands not only ensures the criteria of durability - beauty - economy, but also affirms the important role of domestic production in accompanying the goal of sustainable housing for millions of workers across the country.
With the advantage of a high-quality production chain according to European standards, Viglacera currently owns a synchronous construction material ecosystem, from tiles, glass to toilet porcelain, lotus and accessories. Thanks to that, Viglacera can fully meet all technical and design requirements for modern bathroom spaces, even in apartments with limited areas. This synchronization helps customers feel secure about quality and optimize cost of use, while bringing a safe and convenient living experience.
