Ross’s 3 step guide to buying tapware
Do you have a tap that leaks? According to coolaustralia.org, a leaking tap can waste as much as 20,000L of water a year. While you could get a plumber in to fix the leak, it offers the perfect excuse to update your tired tapware and replace it with something modern and refreshing. Such as the range of tapware we offer here at Ross’s Discount Home Centre.
As the head of purchasing, I always meet customers looking to buy tapware in Perth. Thanks to years of experience, I know all about the process of selecting the perfect tapware for your kitchen, bathroom or laundry. Continue reading this article as I list a 3-step guide to buying tapware.
1. Check water pressure
Before you head out looking to buy tapware in Perth, I suggest that you first check your water pressure. While most of the tapware we stock works with a standard pressure, some of the mixer taps require a higher water pressure to function properly.
If you find that your water pressure is standard, then most of our tapware range will work fine. However, if you’re unsure about anything, you should seek the advice of your plumber or ask one of our sales assistants. Our staff are equipped to help you select the perfect tapware for your bathroom, laundry or kitchen.
2. Choose a style of tapware
Once you’ve checked your water pressure, you can look for tapware in Perth. I have a simple rule that I offer customers looking for tapware – choose what matches the overall design of your kitchen, bathroom or laundry. Make sure to choose smaller taps for small basins and larger taps for larger fixtures.
You should first think of functionality and practicality before choosing a style. Consider what you will use your tap for and where the water will flow out to. By thinking of functionality, you will be able to determine whether you need a tall tap, a wall-mounted tap or any other type of tap.
Furthermore, choosing the right tapware can be confusing with the many styles available. Some of the more common styles of tapware that we stock include mixer taps, basin mixers, tapware sets, wall taps and mixers, bath tapware, shower mixers and pull-out spray mixers among others. You’ll find all these tapware styles and many others in our online store.
I recommend you hold and try out the tapware before making a purchase. This way, you’ll know how comfortable the tap is and how easily it functions. Remember – the style of tapware is not all about looks. Rather, the style of tapware you choose should be determined by its functionality. Its finish will determine the looks.
3. Choose a finish
Finally, once you’re done choosing a style of tapware, you can choose which finish to go with. As with tapware styles, tapware finishes are also available in many types. Some of the more popular tapware finishes in the market include black, gold, brass, chrome and durable stainless steel.
The finish will determine its aesthetics and looks. However, you must also check to see if the finish is easy to maintain. There’s no point spending all this time looking for tapware in Perth, only to find that the finish of your chosen tapware wares over time. For a robust finish, consider a chrome, brushed or matte finish – they are the easiest to maintain, and they will last you many years.
