If you are looking into buying some new bathroom taps, then you might be stuck for choice. It can be quite a tough decision even though it might seem pretty straightforward…
There are a number of things that you need to consider before you make a purchase:
Style
The first thing that you’re going to have to think about is the style of the tap. Have you thought about what you want? Do you want the same style that you had previously, or is there something different you want? Installing a sink is frequently at the top of your list when planning to add a new bathroom fixture. If you're planning a bathroom remodel, a modern design faucet (also known as grifería) can add style and finish the design of your space. For example, you can look into getting wall or floor mounted taps, mixer taps, integrated overflow taps and so much more. It’s important that you look at all of your options before you make a final decision. You don’t want to come across a style later down the line once you’ve made a purchase that you prefer.
When you’re looking at the style, you need to consider what you think looks good as well as what will fit in well in your bathroom. You don’t want your new bathroom taps to look out of place because they don’t match the style of the bathroom that you already have. You might even want to consider buying a new toilet that matches. Take some time to consider what would look the best with what already exists. If you are going to be making any further changes to the bathroom that you know of, make sure to factor this in to your thought process.
Finish
Another thing that you’re going to need to think about is the finish. What finish have you been thinking about for your new bathroom taps? Perhaps you are thinking of a gold finish to give the space that little something extra? Or, maybe a stainless steel finish is the sleek and modern option that appeals to you. Same as with the styles, it is essential that you look at all of the options available to you before you make a final decision. It will depend on a number of factors such as the colors and finishes that you’ve already got in other parts of the space. For example, if you’ve got a bright color on the walls of the bathroom, the likelihood is that a gold finish would not complement this.
If you’re struggling to get a good idea of what the finishes actually look like by looking online, we recommend that you head down to a store to check this out. While they might not all look identical to the ones sold by other companies, you can get a good idea.
Functionality
The taps need to work, that’s the main thing. You need to think about the way that the water actually comes out of the fixture. You’re going to have a number of options such as whether you want the water to spill out from the top, or whether you want it to gush down and out like your standard tap. The water pressure of your home is going to somewhat dictate this for you though. You don’t want to purchase a tap that doesn’t match up to the water pressure of your home. If you do, then you’re not going to get a decent flow from the tap and it is going to be a pointless purchase.
It is going to depend on your boiler as to what you should get. If you’ve got a combination boiler then your water pressure is going to be medium to high. With a gravity-fed system, the pressure is going to be low. Floor mounted and wall mounted taps generally need high pressure to function effectively. This isn’t the case for pillar taps as these can function just as well with low water pressure. Unless you want to be waiting an hour for your tub to be filled or even your sink, you need to check the water pressure before you even start looking at taps.
You should always look around to find a trustworthy and reliable plumber to install your new bathroom taps. Trying to do this yourself could end in disaster or hiring someone substandard could result in a less than satisfactory job. If you want your new taps that you just spent ages deciding on to look fantastic, then you need to hire the right plumber for the installation.
