How to Pick the Perfect Tap for Your Bathroom

The taps that you choose for your bathroom are not only functional but can also be the finishing touch for your bathroom design. You?ll have a plethora of choices but picking the right one requires you to follow a step-by-step approach that leads you to the perfect tap for your bathroom. Let?s look at some points to keep in mind when you are in the market for new taps.

1. You should know what level of water pressure you have at your home. With a gravity fed pressure system you may have low pressure that requires a tap that will work properly under low pressure. Normally, if you choose a single-lever tap you should have high pressure so that it will work effectively. Taps that have two handles or pillar taps can work just fine with lower pressure. Be sure to ask our representatives if the tap that you are interested in will work with the kind of water pressure that you have so that it won?t take forever to fill up your bath or bathroom basin.
2. Next, we recommend that you pay close attention to tap holes that will determine the kind of tap that you should buy. Make a note of the size and how many holes are on your basin, bath, or bidet so that you can match the right kind of tap to the available set-up. Taking note of how your basin or bath is designed will ensure you find a suitable tap for it.
3. You should also select a style of tap that complements the look that you want to achieve in your bathroom. A traditional look will feature taps that have classic features like detailing and inserts that are made from ceramic materials. For a more modern look you should buy contemporary taps that have clean lines with geometric styling. Some of our contemporary taps have modern features like operation that's sensitive to your touch and waterfall spouts that provide you with an elegant display of water flowing into your bath or basin.
4. The materials from which the tap is made are also important. If you choose a tap made from solid brass you?ll find that it resists corrosion extremely well. Recycled brass is used in many taps but some of our premium taps are made from virgin brass that adds a touch of class to any tap. You might also choose a tap that uses a ceramic disc instead of the usual rubber washer that isn't as resilient to the test of time. These discs also make your tap easier to use and control.

Finally, think about the finish of your tap. Chrome is one of the most popular finishes; it resists scratches and corrosion and is very easy to clean. You?ll have a modern look with chrome. Another choice for your tap?s finish is nickel, which adds durability and strength to your tap. It is a bit more expensive but can give your bathroom a look of elegance.
