A tap\u2019s a tap, right? So choosing a set for your bathroom, cloakroom or en suite should be a cinch, surely?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019d think so wouldn\u2019t you? But we\u2019re often seduced by aesthetics and ignore the practicalities when we\u2019re caught up in the excitement of designing and choosing our bathrooms.<\/p>\n

What are your taps for?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obviously for dispensing water, but are they for the sink or the bath? Taps<\/a> for the sink can be wall, countertop or basin mounted and are also available as freestanding floor options too. So it\u2019s important to consider which type of mounting will work best with your bathroom.<\/p>\n

Wall mounted taps can bring a contemporary feel to your design, allowing modern sinks to flaunt their effortless form and clean lines. Equally so, countertop taps positioned to the side of the sink or freestanding floor taps can also make a pleasing design statement too.<\/p>\n

Taps for the bath can be wall, deck, bath or floor mounted. The latter works particularly well with both period style and modern freestanding baths. However, depending on your bathroom layout and plumbing restrictions, you may find that one option is more suitable than another.<\/p>\n
