Splash Out On New Taps

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

If you are looking to freshen up your bathroom choosing new eye-catching brassware can create a stunning feature. There are various types of taps to choose from ranging from standard pillar taps to stylish wall mounted taps.

When it comes to choosing taps it is a good idea to think about the shape of your bathroom pottery, if you have an angular shaped basin opt for square shaped taps that will complement the shape and the same applies for if you have a curved basin, go for a rounded tap that will suit this shape. Most brassware is chrome but if you really want to make a statement go for something bold like the Crosswater Hey Joe Basin Mono in black, this will create a modern focal point.

Crosswater Hey Joe Basin Mono

Bathroom taps are made from cast brass that has been chrome plated, this is the most popular finish and is long lasting. To keep your taps in good condition it is recommended that taps are cleaned with warm soapy water and then rinsed, and if needed polished with a soft cloth afterwards.

The standard pillar taps are usually inexpensive and come in a variety of styles from modern to the traditional, and are easy to fit.

When looking to update your bathroom taps where should you start? There are different types of bathroom taps available, let’s divide them simply to start with into basin taps (sometimes called bathroom sink taps) and bath taps. If we start with the different types of basin taps, these will include:

  • Monobloc mixer taps (for one tap hole basins).  These taps mix the water in the body of the tap and the water flow is controlled by a ceramic cartridge, operated by a handle or lever.
  • Pair of taps (for two tap hole basins). Each tap has a separate water feed and is controlled by a valve mechanism or ceramic cartridge. The taps are turned on or off by use of a handle, or lever.
  • Three hole mixer taps  (for three tap holes oddly enough, the clue is in the name!). These taps consist of separate water feeds for hot and cold water which are controlled by handles, or levers. The water is then supplied through a central spout.
