Description
Gunmetal and accessibility compliance don’t often appear in the same product brief. The Bianca Care Basin Mixer Gunmetal from Ross’s range of basin mixer taps changes that — giving Perth builders, OTs, and homeowners a dark finish option that meets AS1428.1 standards without the clinical aesthetic that accessible tapware usually brings.
The extended lever is the functional centrepiece of the Care design. It sweeps wide from the body on a low-resistance arc — a palm push, a wrist press, or the back of a hand moves it cleanly through its full range. For residents managing reduced grip or limited hand mobility, that difference is the whole point. This gunmetal mixer tap delivers what lever taps for the elderly actually need to deliver: reliable, effortless daily operation that doesn’t draw attention to itself.
Dark finishes in accessible bathrooms are rare because most specifiers default to chrome. Against concrete benchtops, slate tiles, or charcoal cabinetry, the Bianca Care Basin Mixer Gunmetal holds its depth and coordinates with other gunmetal tapware across the Bianca range without requiring a design workaround.
Low lead DZR brass resists dezincification in Australian water conditions — staying structurally sound and safe for drinking water contact over the long term. The NEOPERL aerator keeps output smooth between 1°C and 75°C. Rust-resistant polyamide braided PEX hoses run to mains pressure between 150 and 500kpa.
Water efficiency is certified at 6 stars WELS at 4.5 litres per minute (Registration T40947). WaterMark certification (Licence WM-060073) confirms full Australian plumbing compliance. A 15-year warranty backs every unit — meaningful assurance for a basin mixer going into a permanent, accessible installation.
