Factors To Consider When Choosing Bath Taps

When selecting bath taps, it is important to consider several factors to make an informed decision. Here are some important considerations:

Type Of Installation

The type of installation is an important factor to consider when choosing bath taps. There are two main types of installations: hole-mounted and wall-mounted.

Hole-mounted taps require the user to cut a hole in the sink or tub, while wall-mounted taps are installed directly into the wall. Depending on your space and needs, you can choose the best installation type for your bath tap.

Space

When selecting bath taps, it is essential to consider the size of your bathroom first. If you have a small space, wall-mounted taps are an ideal option compared to hole-mounted ones.

Not only do they occupy less room and look more aesthetically pleasing than holes in walls, but they also grant better freedom when placing them into position.

Style

When selecting bath taps, it's pivotal to contemplate the style of your bathroom. Select a tap that will harmonize with and elevate the overall atmosphere of the room.

Consider both design aspects and finish when deciding on taps to curate an aesthetically pleasing theme throughout your lavatory space.

Material

The material of the bath taps will determine their durability, as well as their look and feel. Common materials for bath taps include brass, stainless steel, chrome and gold. The most durable taps are usually made of brass or stainless steel.

On the other hand, chrome and gold finishes are more aesthetically pleasing but tend to be less durable. Consider your needs and budget when choosing the material for your bath taps.

Ceramic Disc Technology

Transform your bathroom with the advanced ceramic disc technology available in some of today's bath taps. Replacing traditional rubber washers, this reliable, cutting-edge feature ensures fewer maintenance issues for long-lasting peace of mind.

Ceramic disc taps are also cleaner and quieter than traditional taps, making them an ideal choice for those looking for a more luxurious experience in the bathroom. Having this feature in your bath taps will ensure a longer-lasting and reliable product.

Fitting

Furthermore, make sure that the bath taps you choose are suitable for your bathroom's existing plumbing.

Remember that while most come with a standard-sized fitting, some may need special fittings or adapters to work correctly. When selecting your fixtures and fittings, confirm they will fit properly before purchase.

Tap Holes

Finally, consider the number of tap holes required for your bath taps. Most basin and tub taps require two separate tap holes, one for hot water and one for cold. Some styles may require more than two tap holes. Ensure that you select a style that is compatible with your existing plumbing.

Different Types Of Bath Taps

Once you have taken the above factors into consideration, it’s time to choose a style. Here are some popular types of bath taps that you can consider:

Deck Mounted Taps

Deck-mounted taps are a clever way to maximize space in tighter areas. Installing these taps directly onto the basin or tub eliminates extra room usage. You can easily adjust them to any angled installation - making deck-mounted taps convenient and adaptable for all types of spaces.

Wall Mounted Taps

Wall-mounted taps are also a great choice for people with little bathroom space. These taps are installed directly into the wall, taking up less room than other tap types. They can also be adjusted to fit any installation angle, allowing for a customised look and feel in your bathroom.

Freestanding Taps

Freestanding taps add a luxurious and elegant touch to your bathroom. These versatile pieces can be tailored to fit into any angle or installation, as well as adjusted for height to accommodate even the most confined areas. With freestanding taps, you're sure to make an unforgettable statement.

Mixer Taps

Mixer taps are a popular choice for bathrooms due to their versatility. These taps mix hot and cold water together, allowing you to adjust the temperature of your water with ease. Mixer taps come in various styles, so you can easily find one to match your bathroom’s aesthetic.

And if you want to upgrade your mixer taps to include a hand shower attachment, you can easily replace this type of tap since you won't need to make any major changes to the plumbing.

Standard Pillar Taps

These taps feature two separate levers, one for hot water and one for cold, allowing you to adjust the temperature of your water without having to mix it. Pillar taps are also available with an adjustable height, providing more flexibility for positioning.

Monobloc Taps

Monobloc taps are a great way to add style and convenience to your bathroom. With only one spout, they mix hot and cold water seamlessly for a consistent stream of water at the perfect temperature.

From modern designs to classic styles, you can find just the right look for any room in your home with these versatile taps.

Different Styles Of Bath Taps

Once you’ve selected the type of tap that works best for your needs, it’s time to consider the style. Bathroom taps come in various styles and finishes, so you can easily find one that fits your taste and budget:

Traditional Taps

Traditional taps feature a timeless design and an elegant finish, making them perfect for homeowners seeking to bring sophistication into their bathrooms. These taps may have detailed designs such as scrolling or beading, adding charm and elegance.

They are usually made from brass but can also come in other materials like chrome and bronze, providing more variety of choices depending on the desired effect you're looking for.

Modern Taps

Outfit your bathroom with the latest in style and durability - modern taps! Sleek lines, sharp angles, minimal decorations: these features come together to give you a contemporary design like no other.

Crafted from stainless steel or chrome for incredible resilience and effortless maintenance, modern taps offer the perfect way to make sure your bathroom looks chic and sophisticated.

Designer Taps

Designer taps combine classic and contemporary design elements to create unique art pieces in your bathroom.

These taps come in many different styles, from abstract shapes to intricate carvings. Designer taps are usually made from high-quality materials such as brass or stainless steel, giving them an elegant finish that will last for years to come.

Importance Of Knowing The Water Pressure

It is important to know the pressure of your water supply before installing any type of tap in your bathroom. The water pressure will determine which type and style of tap best suits your needs.

The water pressure always varies depending on the water system, so it is important to check the pressure before making any purchases.

Additionally, the height of your water tanks and the gravity of the system will also play a role in the pressure, so make sure to take these factors into consideration when selecting your taps.

Low-pressure systems require a specific kind of tap, while higher-pressure systems can use more powerful taps. Knowing the pressure of your water supply will ensure that you get the most out of your taps, so it’s important to make sure you measure it before making any purchases.
