A tap is an essential item not just for functionality but also for style. The right tap can add a fantastic touch to your bathroom and make it look perfect. However, with so many options available in the market, choosing the right one can be a daunting task. Whether you are moving to a new house or renovating your bathroom, you need to consider different factors. In this blog post, we will guide you with tips to make the right choice.

Consider the Style of Your Bathroom

One of the important factors while choosing the right tap is the style of your bathroom. Start by identifying whether your bathroom is modern, traditional or vintage. Ensure that you opt for the tap that matches your bathroom style. If your bathroom has a traditional or vintage look, you might want to opt for a classic style tap. A modern style tap can provide a sleek and minimalist look, while a more traditional style can add a touch of elegance and sophistication. It is also essential to consider the finish of the tap as it can impact the overall style.

Look for the Right Size

The size of your tap is another crucial factor that you should consider. The size should be in proportion to the sink and the bathroom’s overall size. Opt for a tap with a shorter spout if you have a small sink. Similarly, a larger bathroom sink needs a taller spout tap. The right-sized tap will not only make your sink look aesthetically pleasing but also make it comfortable to use.

Quality Matters

When it comes to buying a tap, quality should be your top priority. Invest in a high-quality product that will last longer, function efficiently and prove to be cost-effective in the long run. Look for taps that are built with sturdy and durable materials like brass, stainless steel or bronze.

Consider the Water Flow

Another important consideration while choosing the right tap for your bathroom is water flow. Choose a tap that provides maximum water flow with minimum noise production. You can look for taps with aerators, which blend air and water to produce a soft water flow. The aerator also helps conserve water, which is an added advantage.

Check for Add-on Features

When it comes to the sink, convenience and comfort matter. Therefore, it is essential to look for add-on features while choosing a tap. For instance, eco water saving features can provide both functionality and save money. Moreover, you can also opt for touchless taps that provide hands-free usage, which promotes hygiene.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right tap for your bathroom can be a daunting task, but with these tips and considerations in mind, you can make the correct choice. Remember to consider the style of your bathroom, size, quality, water flow, and additional features while choosing your tap. Take your time and choose the tap that suits your preferences and adds aesthetic value to your bathroom.

Copper is a traditional material that has stormed its way back into fashion.  Warm, reflective and glowing it is certainly making all of us here at ukbathrooms.com keen to update our own bathrooms!

We love this stunning range from VitrA, encompassing brassware and accessories all in a choice of finishes including Copper. Pair this metal with natural materials such as wood and marble for an elegant, contemporary look.  The copper trend is showing no sign of slowing down, and current demand is high on our site.  The polished finish from VitrA has a more golden look as opposed to a natural deep orange tone.

Over the past few years metallics have become really popular with the warm copper and brass shades being easy to incorporate in our homes.  In your bathroom, opt for copper taps, shower, waste, exposed bottle trap and matching accessories, use the Copper as a standout feature so it really makes your room pop.

Opulent shades such as Kingfisher blue and teal are a perfect partner to this metal, decadent in tone they are an ideal combination. Equally, a bathroom that uses marble and copper brassware has an appeal that is timeless. Charcoal, smoky greys, blush pink and neutrals also work with this warm finish and can be visually stunning.

Tip – use copper sparingly for more impact – either limit to a gorgeous copper bath or brassware and accessories – less is often more!

UK Bathrooms are committed to sustainability and being as eco-friendly as we can to the planet. We improved our delivery packaging earlier this year to green packing materials that are not harmful to the environment. However, there are still many other efforts we can make into protecting the climate and the environment.

Presenting the Hansgrohe EcoSmart function:

Innovative EcoSmart

The above picture is the Hansgrohe Raindance Select S 150 3jet EcoSmart Shower Head

Climate protection concern for the everyday individual can begin with showering and bathing, as the function that consumes the most water in our everyday lives. As water experts, Hansgrohe assumes a pioneering role in conserving this precious natural resource. Most of Hansgrohe mixers and showers are fitted with Hansgrohe’s EcoSmart technology. It only requires up to 60% less water than other normal products with no obvious difference thanks to its efficient design. Less hot water consumption means lower energy requirements. Therefore, fewer CO2 emissions and lower costs.

How does this work?

Showers

The water pressure in your shower is measured by the “Precision O-Ring”, it reacts flexibly to the water pressure and adjusts water quantity. If the pressure is too high, the ring makes the opening smaller. Vice versa, if it is too low, it expands the opening.

Available EcoSmart showers

The above picture is the Hansgrohe Raindance Select E 150 3jet EcoSmart Hand Shower

Mixers

These work by adding air and operating with a special flow limiter. The EcoSmart aerator is integrated into the spout of the basin mixer and enhances the water with air. The outcome is a full, bubbling jet of water. A “precision elastomer” reacts automatically to various water pressure and modifies its shape. It maximises the flow, thus constantly saving precious water.

Here are a few available EcoSmart mixers
