Basin Taps

FAQs

• What factors influence the selection of bathroom sink taps?

  The bathroom sink taps you choose for your bathroom or cloakroom basin make a big impression, so choose wisely. Your choice of taps will be governed partly by the number of tap holes in your bathroom sink and by the pressure of your water supply. Choose your sink based on the taps you want.

• What are the Latest Tap Trends For Bathroom Sinks?

  Black is Back: We have seen a growing demand for black finish taps in 2022, which continued in 2023, and a continuation of this trend in 2024 and beyond. The black coating is electroplated onto the tap body, is hard-wearing and looks great in any bathroom. Other uncommon colours are also becoming popular. Copper, Brushed-Brass, and Nickel plating are all widely available finishes.

  Sensor Taps: Automatic sensor taps are becoming more popular because of the substantial water savings and improved hygiene compared to conventional taps.

  Wall-Mounted: Wall-mounted taps use the wall space, so you have more area around the basin, which is particularly important in a small bathroom. These models also look very tidy, especially with a countertop basin.

  Simplicity: Simple, cleanly designed taps are becoming more important in bathroom design. Monobloc taps are part of this trend, as are matt-black and wall-mounted taps.

• Mixer Taps (Monobloc or Dual lever)

  A mixer tap has two separate controls for hot and cold water. A Monobloc tap has a single control lever that adjusts the mix of hot and cold water supplies and the flow rate. Dual-lever mixers have two levers, one for the cold water and the other for the hot water feed. Both work equally well, and your choice will come down to aesthetics and how many tap holes your sink has. Monobloc taps are a neater solution and more modern in appearance.

• How do Wash-Basin Taps Differ from Bath Taps?

  Taps for Wash Basins have a 15mm thread. Bath taps are larger and have a 22mm thread.
