Compliment Your Bathroom with Luxury Bathroom Taps

Posted by livinghouseuk on May 17th, 2014

Bathroom taps are basic bathroom elements that can truly add elegance and style to your bath area. These little water spouts may have a very simple and basic function, but they play a big role in creating a stylish finish for the bathroom. Taps are made from different kinds of materials, ranging from brass to ceramics, and even cheaper materials like plastic resin. Higher end brass and ceramic taps are priced accordingly. In addition to the material they are made from, taps can also be categorized according to configuration and application or function.

Bath mixer taps, for example, are designed to supply cold and hot water into a single spout. Bath mixers often have a single knob or a set of knobs that divert water to either a mounted or a handheld shower. Mixers also come in many different conventional and contemporary designs, suitable for home applications. They are ideal for homes with low water pressure. Basin taps are the most common, and are among the most essential bathroom fittings. These taps come in a wide variety of styles, designs, and finishes to fit different kinds of bathroom interiors. These taps come with long spouts or short-neck spouts, and can easily be customised to fit the design and look you are going for. Bib taps are long-neck pillar taps traditionally used in kitchens and baths. They fit very well with basins and sinks and are very easy to install as they don't need complex plumbing. Sink taps are an excellent choice for those who want a minimalist design for a contemporary bathroom. They are mostly found in public bathrooms and are becoming increasingly popular in home installations.

When buying luxury taps for your bathroom, make sure to find a supplier that specialises in high-quality and designer-grade products, so you can enjoy lasting installations that require little to no maintenance. Look for a supplier that offers numerous options to find the best style and design that fits your own bathroom decor. Here are some factors to consider when buying bathroom taps:

1. Efficiency – Taps are supposed to ensure smooth and continuous water flow in the bathroom. It is also best to find taps that offer water-saving abilities to help you conserve water resources.

1. User-friendliness – Taps are basic bathroom components and they don't need to have very complex designs and configurations to maintain efficiency, as long as you can get the required functions—delivering water, mixing hot and cold supply, etc.

1. Style – It is easy to make your taps go well with the style scheme of your entire bath. Modern taps come in a wide range of designs and finishes, from brass to nickel, copper, polished chrome, and even ceramics.
