subject: Selecting New Bathroom Taps [print this page] You must be careful when picking out bathroom taps because they can transform the bathroom's final appearance substantially. Nevertheless, you don't have to deplete your wallet in the process.
Bathroom sink taps come in all shapes and sizes to fit everyone's exclusive taste. You would have to choose from either modern or conventional taps; either made for the sink or tub; and either individual spouts or a single spout that dispenses both hot and cold water, with adjustable pressure and temperature according to your liking.
Some people prefer to have the same bathroom basin taps in both the tub and basin area while others look to have complementary pieces. Generally bathroom taps for tubs have one spout. On the other hand, basin taps have different spout designs, both single and double. Sometimes, your preferred spout's style will impact the available alternatives for the heads. The kind you pick for your house will vary depending on the style you are after.
You can select from a massive variety of spouts. In the modern section, there is a special type of tap with a swivel spout which lets you direct the water to flow in any direction. While there are a few different choices for heads including cross head or levers, all models only come with one spout. Another contemporary style is the lever bath filler. The spout and the handle are both on the same base. The base comes in different thicknesses. You need strong water pressure to use these models efficiently. There is also another well-known model that has a very high sprout. This one has the handle on the side and bottom of the base. A high rise mixer is the same except that the handle is on the base, above the sprout. As you can see, you won't run out of choices for modern bathroom taps as there are so many different angles and shapes, and even heads available in the form of knobs or crucifixes.
Traditional bathroom taps"can be found with either one or two spouts. One design which has been in use a long time has the spout in the middle and the separate knobs for hot and cold water on either side. A lot of traditional taps also have elegant features such as swan-shaped spouts and lever handles. The a lot more straightforward designs feature a cross-like lever to knob and separate sprouts for hot and cold water.
