Choosing the Right Bathroom Tap For Your Bathroom

Your bathroom taps are part of the design, and by choosing the right one you will achieve the space that you dream about. Whether you’re after double spout pillar faucets or single lever mono mixer basin taps, they can accommodate the design needs of any room in which they’re installed. Install basin taps once water supply has been shut off, then place a bucket under it to catch leakage. Then unhook and unclog elastic connectors attached to them; then undock and unclog nuts that fix them. Size There are several sizes of faucets to choose from with different types of functionality. For example, mixer taps use one lever to adjust temperature and flow and pillar taps have two separate spouts, for more conventional designs. Remember your bathroom decor as this determines which size tap will look most beautiful. For example, small faucets are good for minimalist bathrooms and big faucets are odd for more traditional bathrooms. Then find out if your basin or bath is pre-drilled, if so, which kind of tap can go in and the distance from other holes (there are often many difference between baths and some cloakrooms). Style Taps are available in many beautiful styles and colors to suit any style of room and are wall- or floor-standing, depending on the arrangement of your plumbing. Basin taps funnel hot and cold water from the same source in one spout with a single lever or cross-head handle that adds period appeal. Lever handles for modern chic style and are convenient for a family with kids or someone with reduced dexterity. Lever handles look sleek in modern decor and make every day easy for the whole family. Bath filler taps: Bathtub mixer taps which work much like basin taps but higher in order to fit into their high sides. Material You can really influence your taps’ look with material, and solid brass is a very elegant option that will look great in modern and old bathroom. Plus, it is easy to clean, making upkeep a breeze! At last, bare brass doesn’t corrode – that is long term value. Nickel and chrome are contemporary, and stainless steel is durable and quick to clean and also gorgeous and corrosion-resistant. Handles on your taps can be a showman’s dream. Knob handles are timeless favorites that go with any look and lever handles are convenient and clean and are also better for those who don’t have much control over their hands. Water Efficiency We’re looking for taps that save water but don’t sacrifice style as we become more environmentally aware. Aerators and flow restrictors can also reduce consumption and sensor-controlled faucets won’t overrun. Mixer taps are all in one, there are different styles and finishes to choose from. Making cold water and hot water a la carte before it comes out the spout makes it versatile and energy efficient. Monobloc taps are clean and modern and can be supplied with or without shower head attachment – perfect for bathrooms that have separate shower cubicles. Knobs can be hard to operate for children or elderly relatives with limited hand mobility, so lever handles are ideal. Make sure to get finishes that are long-lasting enough to withstand regular usage as well as cleaning products for the best results. Functionality The type of bathroom tap you choose can make a huge difference in appearance and performance, so you want ones that are right for your style and function. Basin mixer taps are an ideal addition to the bathroom of today as they are very efficient and can be arranged in various configurations according to your own taste. Many have pull-out spray heads to make hand and face washing easy and painless. Pedestal sink taps work well with a classic style in the bathroom and can be a real vintage look. But be aware that these taps need their own hot and cold water so make sure your house has enough pressure. Budget New bathroom taps are a great addition to any en-suite, master or cloakroom bathroom and it is very affordable to do so. There are some considerations you need to make before you buy new taps for your room. Bath taps must work with your bathroom hardware and your home water pressure, because some styles require different water pressure to work. Mono basin mixers should only be used in bathrooms where there is good hot and cold water pressure, or else you will be stuck with a perpetually leaking tap. Bath monobloc taps are sleek and contemporary, but they’ll work best when you provide equal hot/cold water pressure.
