Your Handy Basin Tap Guide
When renovating your bathroom, a huge focus falls on finding the perfect basin tap. Not only does a faucet benefit the functionality and cleanliness of your space, but it can also provide aesthetic value too. With so many factors to consider and endless designs to choose from, finding the right tap can feel like an impossible task. If you're feeling stuck, check out our handy tap guide below, filled with key questions and plenty of inspiration to help you along the way!
1) Have you got a low or high water pressure system?
The first thing you want to do is find out if you have a low or high water pressure system. Low-pressure systems work at below 1 bar compared to high-pressure systems working at 1 bar plus. When choosing a tap, you can check its minimum operating pressure in the technical table to see if it is compatible with your system. This will ensure excellent flow rates and an increased tap life.
2) What type of basin have you chosen?
The type of basin you choose will determine your tap placement, thus affecting what kind of tap you require. If you plan on having a countertop basin, you will need a freestanding or wall-mounted tap for maximum functionality. On the other hand, if you opt for a basin with pre-drilled tap holes, you will simply need a standard tap(s) to pair with it. There are plenty of designs and affordable options for each tap type available.
3) What's your bathroom interior style?
When it comes to interiors, which way do you lean? Do you like a monochrome look, lots of colour, or something more traditional? Whatever your design preferences, ensure you choose a tap to elevate your bathroom style and palette.Check out a few of our favourite colour schemes and tap pairings below.

At the end of the day, it's your bathroom. Follow your heart and choose what you love!
