SELECTING A BATHROOM TAP

Mounting
It is always useful to consider how you intend to mount your taps before you choose them. How many tap holes your basin has as well as how big they are and the distances between them (if there are more than 1). Many Basins and baths can be adapted to suit most brassware but it is always worth checking before ordering brasware. Similarly some basins are free standing and require wall mounted brassware. You should always consider where and how you will fit your basin taps or bath taps before you decide.

Finish
Brassware can come in a variety of finishes and colours and it is important to consider what goes best with your bathroom. Most modern brassware is chrome or a similar finish but if your bathroom has a more traditional style then you may consider brass taps. Another consideration when choosing the finish of your brassware is how easily are they cleaned and maintained. This may depend on the kind of uses the bathroom gets and how often it needs to be cleaned.

Functions
Taps these days often have a variety of modern features such as anti scald technology, water saving features or built in water filters to name a few. When selecting a bathroom tap you should consider exactly which function might be useful for you. If young children or elderly people will be using the bathroom then perhaps the anti scald function would help ensure their safety. Perhaps the bathroom will be used by someone who has a disability and a lever tap with ceramic disc technology would make it easier for them to use the taps or perhaps you are simply conscious of saving water and would like to use an anti drip tap.Mixer taps are sometimes useful if space is limited and it would be easier to fit one tap than two. It is always worth looking at the extra features many taps have to offer to see if there is one that will personally suit you.
