Bathroom Taps for Basins, Baths & Showers
The world of bathroom taps is diverse. Whether for the washbasin, the bath, the shower or the WC, taps are required throughout the bathroom for water supply. They not only serve the practical function of regulating and controlling water, but also play a key role in the overall design and aesthetics of the bathroom. Discover the different types, styles and materials in our online shop and find the bathroom taps that perfectly match your washbasin, shower or bath – from classic taps and practical mixer taps to modern all-in-one solutions.
The Different Types of Taps
There are various types of bathroom taps that can be selected depending on requirements, application and design preferences:
Basin Tap:
These basin taps – commonly referred to as taps – are mounted above the washbasin and are available in a wide range of styles and sizes. A basin tap can be designed as either a single-lever mixer or a two-handle mixer and typically features an outlet for hot and cold water. Depending on the model, height and flow rate may vary, allowing the tap to be perfectly matched to your washbasin.
Bath Tap:
Bath taps are installed near the bath and are specifically designed to regulate water flow into the tub. There are both wall-mounted and freestanding bath taps that can create an elegant focal point in your bathroom. Many of these taps can be combined with a hand shower or a shower head.
Shower Tap:
Shower taps are designed to control the water supply to the shower. This may include a hand shower, an overhead shower or a complete shower system with a shower hose. Depending on the design, the shower head may be fixed or interchangeable. The size of the overhead shower can also be chosen to suit personal preferences. The right choice depends on your individual requirements – especially the level of comfort you expect when showering.
Bidet Tap:
These models are specifically designed for bidets. Bidet taps regulate the water flow for cleaning and are tailored to the specific requirements of a bidet.
Thermostat:
Thermostatic taps allow precise temperature control and maintain a constant water temperature. This is particularly beneficial for showers and baths, ensuring comfort and safety. The water no longer runs either too hot or too cold, but at a perfectly balanced temperature. Some models are especially water-saving and help reduce water consumption, while others offer different spray patterns or particularly comfortable flow rates. We are happy to advise you on the various options and help you find the right solution for your bathroom – whether a classic tap or a practical mixer tap.
Exposed and Concealed Taps for Your Bathroom
Exposed and concealed installations are two common options for bathroom taps. Exposed taps are mounted visibly on the wall and are generally easy to install. They offer a wide variety of designs and can be easily replaced using existing connections.
Concealed taps, on the other hand, are installed within the wall so that only the control elements remain visible. This creates a clean and modern appearance. Many concealed systems can also be adjusted later by replacing individual components such as valves or control plates. Depending on the system, integrated valves also control and distribute the water within the tap.
The choice between exposed and concealed installation depends on your individual requirements, available space and preferred design.
High-Pressure and Low-Pressure Taps
High-pressure and low-pressure taps differ primarily in their technical functionality. High-pressure taps are connected directly to the cold water supply and hot water supply and are the standard solution in most households, as sufficient water pressure is ensured via the cold water supply. This also ensures a constant supply of hot water for everyday comfort.
Low-pressure taps are used in systems with a boiler. They feature additional connections to ensure a consistent water flow. The right choice depends on your existing installation.
Types of Bathroom Tap Designs
Manufacturers typically distinguish between single-lever mixers, two-handle mixers, thermostatic taps and pillar taps. Single-lever mixers allow easy control of water flow and temperature. Two-handle mixers offer a classic look with separate controls. Thermostatic taps maintain a constant temperature and significantly enhance comfort. Please note that many concealed systems require a suitable concealed installation unit. These can be found in our online shop.
Materials & Finishes
Bathroom taps are available in a wide range of materials and finishes. The most common include:
- Chrome: durable, easy to maintain and modern
- Stainless steel: rust-resistant and timeless
- Brass: robust and high-quality
- Bronze: warm and classic
- Plastic: cost-effective and lightweight
In addition to classic chrome finishes, special finishes are becoming increasingly popular. Black, white, gold or stainless steel looks allow for a highly individual bathroom design.
Style & Design
Choosing the right design has a major impact on the overall look of your bathroom. Modern bathroom taps feature clean lines, while classic models incorporate decorative details and retro elements. It is important that the tap, washbasin, bath and shower match visually. This creates a cohesive overall look that reflects your personal style.
Cleaning Bathroom Taps
When cleaning bathroom taps, always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Not all surfaces react the same way to cleaning agents. In most cases, clean water is sufficient to maintain the taps and keep them in good condition over time.
