Type of Bathroom Taps - Bath Filler Taps - Basin Taps

Updating a bathroom is something that a lot of people do to give their homes a fresh lease of life. There are hundreds of manufacturers related to bathrooms and bathroom accessories, so trying to find the right tap can some times be a slightly hard task. One of the things a lot of people take time and consideration over is the type of bathroom taps that they are going to choose.


This might seem like something that is fairly unimportant when renovating a bathroom, but the reality is that bathroom taps top off the look and feel of the bathroom. For this reason it is incredibly important to try and choose the right taps, the ones that are going to really fit in with the current style and design of the home.


Bath filler taps are among the important taps in the bathroom. Depending on the set up that is currently installed, individuals might want to look at purchasing a normal bath filler or a bath and shower mixer. A lot of these products are easy to install and work with two tap hole bath set ups.


A bath filler tap tends to be one single unit, although that is available as two separate taps. Many people are opting to purchase the single tap, simply because it is much sleeker than a dual tap unit. They are becoming more and more popular because they mix the water in the tap, which allows people to control the temperature of the water a lot easier, ensuring that the bath does not get too hot, but does not get too cold either.

Choosing basin taps is similar to choosing bath filler taps. They are available in a mixer type tap, which is one single tap where the user can control the overall temperature of all the water using one lever. As mentioned previously, this tends to be a much better option than using a dual set ups, although they are available. The single unit tends to look modern; where as the dual unit is good for older style houses as they have a lot more character.


All bathroom taps are available in a range of different styles and materials. The likes of stainless steel, chrome and brass are all materials that are commonly used in bathrooms. For people that are looking to go for the cheapest option, chrome taps will certainly be ideal. Brass taps are ideal for people where the budget is not really an issue.
