Basin mixers can impact a bathroom design significantly. It can either bring a design down or lift it to new heights. The key is choosing the right bathroom mixer tap for your needs and, of course, your bathroom or powder room design.
Our extensive range of bathroom mixer taps is an excellent example of just how many types, styles, and designs are available. Knowing which is the best choice for you comes down to the mixer’s type, quality, and finish.
Types of Basin Mixers
A basin tap is not merely a tap. There are many different styles to consider, each offering something different in terms of ergonomics and practicality. Some of the most common basin mixer taps include single and double lever basin mixers, wall-mounted mixer sets, and hi-rise basin mixer taps, all of which you will find within Ross’s Discount Home Centre’s range.
- Single Lever Basin Mixers: Single lever basin mixers offer ease of use and simplicity in design. They allow for water flow and temperature control with a single handle, making them a practical choice for modern bathrooms.
- Double Lever Basin Mixers: These mixers feature two separate handles for hot and cold water, providing precise control over water temperature. They blend functionality with a classic aesthetic, making them suitable for contemporary and traditional bathroom designs.
- Wall-Mounted Basin Mixer Sets: Wall-mounted basin mixers offer a sleek, streamlined look as they are fixed directly to the wall, freeing up space around the basin. This type of mixer is ideal for bathrooms seeking a minimalist or modern design.
- Hi-Rise Basin Mixer Taps: Designed for above-counter basins, hi-rise basin mixers stand taller than standard basin taps, providing the necessary clearance for vessel basins. They are a stylish and functional choice for bathrooms with a modern flair.
Each of these basin mixer types can be found in Ross’s Discount Home Centre’s extensive collection, offering a range of designs to suit any bathroom or powder room design and functionality requirement.
Basin Mixer Finishes
At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, choosing the right finish for your basin taps is about creating a cohesive and elegant look in your bathroom space. Among our range of finish colours, brushed brass, black tapware, and brushed nickel finishes stand out for their distinct appeal.
Brushed brass exudes a classic elegance, blending seamlessly with various colour schemes and enhancing the overall aesthetic of your space. Matte black tapware makes a bold, modern statement, ideal for contemporary bathrooms seeking a sleek, sophisticated touch. On the other hand, Brushed nickel offers a balance between traditional and modern, with its subtle sheen adding a touch of understated luxury. Its versatility makes it easy to create a harmonious bathroom design.
No matter your preference, these finishes are about more than just their colour; they’re about creating an ambience that reflects your style.
Quality in Basin Taps
Considering the average person washes their hands between six and eleven times a day, it’s wise to invest in a basin mixer that offers both quality and longevity. Look for a tap that provides at least a 5-year warranty for superior quality.
Additionally, it’s essential to consider the combination of materials used in construction. For instance, solid brass construction and ceramic disc cartridges are known for their durability, ensuring your tap serves you effectively in the long run.
Design Considerations for Basin Mixer Taps
Lastly, when choosing basin tapware, consider the bathroom mixer’s design. It needs to look great on your vanity and match other bathroom tapware. Pay attention to your vanity and basin design. How many tap holes are there? If there is only one taphole, a basin mixer is ideal. If there are three tapholes, a tapware set is required. If there are no tapholes, opt for a modern wall-mounted mixer set.
In terms of style and finish, you have plenty of options: round and square tapware in chrome, matte black, and brushed finishes. Brushed gold and brushed nickel are very much on-trend. Consider the rest of the bathroom tapware and match accordingly.
