There are many different types and styles of taps for your bathroom; the market is quite literally flooded with possibilities to add a touch of style to your bathroom basin, bath or bidet.
Whether you are designing a new bathroom or revamping your existing one, fitting the right tap can really complete the overall look and aesthetic appeal of your bathroom and become a focal point as well as a functional item.
Standard basintaps,also known as pillar taps,come in pairs with separate hot and cold water controls and require two holes in order to be fitted. The more modern monobloc basin tap uses just one hole and is often supplied with a pop-up waste mechanism.
Basin mixer taps have either one or two handles or levers and mix cold and hot water supplies to provide the desired water temperature. These taps are available in several styles including tall monoblock basin mixer taps and open spout taps.
Bath taps are available in one, two, three or four-hole types, with one and two-hole bath filler taps being the most popular. Bath filler taps can be deck-mounted, pillar-mounted or wall-mounted to offer a choice of fitting options to suit requirements. Freeflow bath filler taps are normally three-hole taps andallow anuninterrupted cascade of water to fill the bathtub.
Bath/shower mixer taps offer a cost-effective solution to the bath or shower dilemma by combining the benefits of both and are available in various styles; mono bath/shower mixer tapsuse one hole and are operated by means of a lever to mix cold and hot water for bath or shower purposes. Deck, pillar or wall-mounted bath/shower mixer taps are other possibilities or for a free-standing option, the floor-standing mixer tap provides the solution.
Bidet taps are normally either one-hole monoblock taps or 2-hole pillar taps, both
are of the mixage type and are designed to complement your basin and bath taps.
Thermostatic bathroomtaps ensure the water temperature does not exceed 48 degrees and therefore are intrinsically safer than ordinary taps, particularly in homes with young children.
Both traditional and contemporary styles are reflected in the extensive range of bathroom taps available, each with particular attributes to enhance the appeal of your bathroom suite; the timeless appeal of the traditional bathroom tap carries a reputation of grandeur, with stately styling and reassuring reliability, yet manages to be affordable and functional too. Contemporary bathroom taps are classic in appearance and cutting-edge in design and will speak volumes when it comes to a taste for that je ne sais quoi.
Although chrome bathroom taps are by far the most common choice, enjoying continued popularity with consumers, mixage taps and gold bathroom taps also have their afficionados.
Today's bathroom taps function equally well with either low or high water pressure systems and are manufactured with the latest ceramic disc technology with a solid brass tap body to offer a guarantee of durability and customer satisfaction.
