Tall taps, small taps, tap sets, wall mounted taps, mixer taps and so on and so on. I remember when I was young being fascinated by the basin taps in my Grandmothers house as they were extremely shiny and had ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ written on the top of each tap.

Traditional style taps like these of course are becoming quite trendy again now but back in the day there really wasn’t a lot of choice. You had a traditional pedestal basin in your bathroom and it had 2 tap holes pre-drilled and you installed a double tap set, job done. Compare that with today’s market and you will be searching through the options available to you for some time. You can still purchase the pedestal basin only now the trends are for more minimalist models without any decoration but you are much more likely to end up going for a basin cabinet instead. For your basin taps with new technology you will find a vast range of mono mixer taps (that is a single tap normally with a lever which controls both the flow rate and also the temperature).

The mixer tap really is very funky and also much better functioning than a double tap set. Being able to control the temperature through a single tap is a great feature and is available in a range of designs. You can get small mono mixer taps for small basins or you can get bath taps that need 2 holes drilled into the baths but come together into one spout. Another variation is available with a hand shower attachment as well. This eliminates the old problem of having to balance the temperature of 2 taps by continually adjusting them until the temperature is correct. With the mixer option you simple slightly adjust the lever to the desired position.

Check out the range of all types of taps at Bathrooms.com where you will find taps placed into easy categories such as the bath shower taps already mentioned. You are sure to find the bathroom tap that you are looking for.
