Our Guide to Water Taps
Before choosing from our range of Bathroom Taps, Kitchen Taps, Mixer Taps, Bath Shower Mixer Taps, Basin Taps, Sink Taps and Tap Accessories you will need to plan your attack before making a purchase.
Tap Pressure
The first thing to consider is the water pressure of your home, as this will play a pivotal role in deciding which tap to buy. Many households in the UK have low water pressure (without any additional pressure boosting systems installed). Typically, water is fed through to the taps via a gravity fed system, such as a tank in the loft. However if you have a combi boiler or an Unvented Hot Water Cylinder installed then you can make full use of the high mains pressure available, and a wider choice of tap options.
Check the current pressure of the hot water system, water pressure can be measured in three common units, bar, psi and Head (m).
1 bar = 14.5 psi = 10 metres Head
For example if the vertical distance from the tank to the tap is 5m then there will be approximately 0.5 bar maximum pressure available. However if the pipes make several bends or have long horizontal runs then the available water pressure will be reduced.
Each tap will state its minimum requirement for water pressure (for example 1 bar). You can normally find this information within the product information or brochure however if in doubt we recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the tap or tap accessories directly (i.e. Grohe, Ideal Standard, Roca, etc.).
Tap Styles
The burning question – should I go for traditional taps or contemporary taps? This will largely depend on the looks you are hoping to achieve, for example if you are aiming for a rustic, authentic feel to your room in question then wonderfully classic traditional taps are likely be your best bet. If however you are aiming to fully utilise the latest modern technologies available, revolutionise the way you use water at home and impress on new levels then the PlumbNation Plumbing Supplies tap collection is here for you.

Bathroom taps come in the form of basin taps, basin mixer taps, bath taps, bath mixer taps, bidet taps, bidet mixer taps, bath shower taps, and bath shower mixer taps to name a few. Each type of bathroom tap will be named accordingly to its specific vocation. If you’re looking for a fresh, modern style then PlumbNation Plumbing Supplies’ huge selection of Bathroom Taps will really help to contemporise your bathroom.
Basin Taps
A Basin Tap comes second only to the Kitchen Sink Tap for the amount of usage it receives over the course of a busy day. Basin Taps are mostly used for washing hands in a basin. A basin will come pre-drilled with a set number of holes for use with a hot and cold basin tap or a basin mixer tap. For example if the basin has three holes, then you will need a three-hole basin mixer. When choosing Basin Taps from the PlumbNation Plumbing Supplies Bathroom Mixer Taps collection be sure to choose the right model to match your basin / sanitary ware so that they match appropriately.
The options for choosing a Basin Tap are as follows: Traditional Basin Pillar Taps, Mono Basin Mixer Taps (also referred to as Monobloc Basin Mixer Taps), Wall Mounted Basin Taps, Three Hole Basin Taps, Single Lever Basin Taps, Basin Tap with Pop Up Waste system.

Basin Pillar Taps
Classic and timeless in design, our range of Single Outlet Pillar Taps are traditional yet contemporary in appearance. A Pillar Tap is simple to use and easier to install than a Mixer Basin Tap, and also considered at times to be more reliable than a Mixer Tap. An example circumstance where Pillar Taps are used would be Two Tap Hole Basin Pillar Taps, which deliver hot and cold water independently of one another. In many circumstances, each tap will be mounted in a single hole of a basin or worktop.

Basin Mixer Taps
Single Lever Mixer Taps are the incredibly popular benchmark for the contemporary bathroom tap. A Single Lever Mixer Tap combines elegant functionality with strikingly modern design. Single Lever Mixer Basin Taps have one lever to control both hot and cold water with one hand. By gently using your fingertips you can effortlessly adjust the temperate and flow rate of both hot and cold water. Hot and cold water is fed into a Mixer Tap so that only one spout is required, allowing you to adjust the temperature to suit your exact needs (this is practically essential for washing hands when the hot water is boiling hot). This makes the mixer tap not only easier and more enjoyable to use it actually saves space too. Grohe Mixer Taps feature ceramic cartridge technology to ensure a longer lifetime of heavy use. Ceramic cartridges are more efficient than rubber components and are replaceable when necessary.
