How to select the perfect bathroom tap
How to select the perfect bathroom tap

Most of us spend between 30 and 60 minutes in the bathroom every day, so it is vital to create a space that looks great and functions the way we need it to. If you want to create an indulgent, luxurious, modern bathroom, one of the first decisions you will need to make is what taps to select. So what are your options.

Today, people don’t want dull, functional spaces. Instead, they demand stylish, beautiful rooms that look and feel indulgent. But when it comes to our bathroom taps, homeowners don’t have to choose either design or functionality. Using the most advanced technology available, our commitment to style and substance is reflected across all our tap ranges. And they meet the highest quality and eco-efficiency standards.

Wall-mounted bathroom taps

Wall-mounted taps are perfect for modern bathrooms as they help to create a sleek, minimalist vibe. Visually, they are a very tidy option, and they are a great choice if you are lacking in space or need a tight fit. Combining style with practicality, wall-mounted taps do not pick up the same dirt and deposits that you might find collecting around traditional tap options, so your bathroom will look cleaner and be more hygienic. However, because the plumbing associated with wall mounted taps is hidden within a wall, they can be more challenging - and therefore more expensive - to install than standard basin taps.

Freestanding bath taps

If you really want to make a statement, you cannot go wrong with a freestanding bath tap. Positioned on the floor next to your bath, these taps are the ultimate in luxury and sophistication. And, because they are freestanding, they can be placed in the perfect spot for your space.

Available in modern and more traditional designs, the striking appearance of a freestanding bath tap is hard to beat. And, with more and more people seeking roll top baths, these taps have become increasingly popular. Want to add some wow-factor to your bathroom? Why not choose an extra special finish such as brass or black?

Monobloc taps

Monobloc taps boast a minimalist design that works well in contemporary bathrooms. A single unit featuring one or two handles, with a Monobloc mixer, hot and cold water is mixed in the tap before coming out the spout. This means they are a safe option and perfect for those that want to avoid scalding and other such accidents. The most popular type of basin tap in modern bathrooms, Monobloc’s come in a range of design and colour options, from traditional chrome to waterfall black.

Pillar taps

Pillar taps come in pairs — one for hot water and one for cold. Popular in traditional-style bathrooms, the pillar design is timeless and will never go out of fashion. Furthermore, today, the pillar tap is getting a new lease of life with many more contemporary and innovative designs.

 On a practical level, many people prefer pillar taps to a mixer as it provides direct control over the temperature of the water.

Countertop taps

Countertop taps are tall taps that are placed alongside a countertop basin. These taps look striking with their extended height and often boast a range of modern technology (e.g. waterfall).

While countertop taps are popular in sleek, contemporary designs, heritage-based styles are also available for those seeking something a bit more traditional

Bath/shower mixers taps

Mixer taps are commonly used in modern households. Rather than having a separate hot and cold tap, mixer systems use just one tap to deliver both hot and cold water. People can control the temperature by moving the tap’s levers. Many people love mixer taps as they let them get to optimal temperature easily and quickly. Mixer-taps also tend to save water, so they are good for sustainability too.

Mixer taps come in a range of styles. Sometimes the hot and cold water are controlled by different handles (mixed through a single spout), while others use a Monobloc tap design, or a single-lever mixer. You also get bridge mixer taps that feature an eye-catching ‘bridge’ which feeds water to the spout, and even wall-mounted mixer taps. The designs, styles, and colours are endless.

Bath filler taps

From wall-mounted to deck-mounted taps and freestanding bath taps, when designing your ideal bathroom, you’ll need to select the perfect bath filler taps for your space. Balancing function and style, with the perfect bath filler taps, your bathroom will work well and look luxurious. Ultimately, you will create the perfect place to relax.
