Different Types of Bathroom Taps



There are different types of bathroom taps that are available in the market. If you are looking for the right one to match your needs then you should be aware about the different types from which you can take your pick.

Types According to Materials

One classification of taps that you should be aware of is the one according to the materials used in it. Stainless steel, brass, chrome are the metals that are most commonly used. They are ideal because they are resistant to corrosion. You should be aware of the differences in the way that each material looks so you can pick the right one to match your bathroom.

Bath Deck Filler

The bath deck filler type of tap is the most popular one for use in bathrooms. It is a tap that’s framed by two handles on the side. It is used to mix hot and cold water on the bath. This type is popular because it allows the user to control the temperature of the water and to set it at just the right level.

Monobloc Basin Taps

Like the bath deck filler type this kind of tap is used for mixing hot and cold water but instead of having a deck where the handles are located, they are placed at the base of the sprout.

Three Hole Basin Mixer

This type of tap has three separate holes made for the sprout, the handle for hot water control and the handle for the cold water control. This is probably the most complicated type to install since it requires three different holes.

Differences in Designs

Taps can also be classified according to the design that they have. Some taps for example would have a Victorian design while others would have a more modern or futuristic design. One example of a bathroom tap with a modern design to it is the TW Echo Basin Mixer with Clicker Waste and what is even more amazing about this tap is that you can get it for only £19.99  if you know where to shop on the internet.
