Taps can either make or break a bathroom design. It is not just an essential element of any bathroom in terms of functionality but also visually. One of the top bathroom brands- Artize offer innovative and luxury bathroom fittings, shower, faucets, wash basin and accessories. Making the sheer choice seems mindboggling, so here’s how to avoid common pitfalls and ensure that you bring home the best. • 1. The function - consider first the type of fixture you have before selecting one. Do think how you intend to use it, do you want something to be wall mounted or will they stick out too far in the shower or do they require a tall tap above the basin? • 2. Checking tap holes - the number of tap holes on the basin, bath or bidet dictates what type of tap is required. Most bathroom sinks have either 1 for a mono mixer tap, 2 for a separate hot and cold pillar taps or 3 for hot, cold and a separate water spot pre-drilled tap holes. The bathtubs do not tap holes; the installer simply needs to drills the holes required for your choice of taps. While the bidets usually have a single tap hole.
3. Knowledge of water pressure - choose the ones that are appropriate for water pressure. Going by the general rule, single-lever mixers, wall mounted and floor standing taps require high water pressure to function effectively; while pillar taps and two handles require low pressure taps. 4. The material - if you want a tap that lasts for a lifetime, look out for several aspects that indicate a superior standard of construction like- taps with ceramic discs are resilient to wear and tear and are more hardwearing. Moreover, almost all ceramic disc taps need a ¾ turn to go from On to off, making them easier to use. While the solid brass ones are extremely resistant to corrosion.
5. Select the style - the style of the tap can up the overall look and can become the focal point too. To add new life to your existing bathroom suite, get rid of your old tired taps. Look out for a design that complement the space visually and does not appear mismatched. Contemporary taps with geometric styling, clean lines and minimalist designs come with unique features like touch sensitive operation and waterfall spouts. The traditional design on the other hand, has classic features like Edwardian-style ceramic inserts, exquisite detailing and cross head handles. They evoke a timeless elegance that never fades away with time. 6. That perfect finish - it is one important factor that defines the overall bathroom design as well as practicality. Nickel finish taps are increasingly getting popular. This pricey, high class finish combines durability and strength and has a lustrous light gun metal look. Gold taps have never really aged and are first choice in period style bathrooms. Previously it got peeled off and tarnished, but the chrome-gold is more robust as it has been dipped and not plated-on. The chrome plated taps do not scratch or corrode easily and have a modern, reflective and shiny finish which makes it easy to clean.
