The Tap Series: Selecting The Right One For You

Taps are little bits and pieces of bathroom ware that say a lot about the home owner's appreciation for the finer things in life. For any seasoned eye, a stylish set of faucets can be all he or she needs to make an estimate of the state of repair of your house.

As such, it is important that you do not neglect this important aspect of your bathroom. Do not be the home owner who owns a stylish glass vessel sink that any artist would approve but goes on to top it off with a dull, standard and unimaginative steel tap.

What You Should Look for in a Tap

Various aspects must be considered when making a choice:

- Size Constraints

Ultimately the type of tap you want to be mounted on your bathroom sink is determined by the size of the sink itself. Therefore, it is only reasonable that you get a faucet that only spills water into the sink and nowhere else. Otherwise if you have your eyes set on a specific series, you can plan for it in advance such that you get a sink that fits the tap.

- Your Own Personal Tastes and Preferences

When it comes to faucets there are different lengths, sizes, styles and materials used. What type of tap you install will have a bearing on what you can use your sink for.

- Functionality Meets Fashion

You must bear in mind all the possible activities your tap series might be used for before you install it. This is especially true when it comes to the length of the faucet. If the tap will be used by children to fill water balloons you might want it to be short and reachable to the little ones.

If the sink is quite large and you want the spout to easily access the whole area you might want a maneuverable yet long and curved tap spout that also prevents spillage on the sink base or outside.

- Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) Scheme

It is a prerequisite that all bathroom fixtures bear the WaterMark certification, as such, please ensure all goods you buy are approved for use by this scheme.

Types of Faucets for Your Bathroom

Listed below are a number of faucets you may consider when carrying out renovations on your bathroom.

1. Single Hole Faucets

This kind of tap comes with the water levers affixed to the spout; therefore they only require one hole in the sink. They are small and compact and are ideal for petite sinks that are not used heavily. The single hole faucet's simplicity is what makes it so stylish in the modern bathroom. Make sure that your faucet is in line with the recommended flow rates set by the joint Australian/New Zealand Standards Committee.

2. Centre Set Faucets

It comes with the spout and mixing levers attached to a wide base that is affixed to the sink. Usually comes with two levers for hot and cold water. It is a time-honoured classic that dominates the sink and if installed professionally is sure to leave you satisfied.
