Bath Fittings

The selection of bathroom taps available on the Irish market today should comfortably satisfy all tastes and budgets and match any bathroom design scheme. This therefore means that the final choice simply comes down to aesthetic appearance and functionality.

Before making a hasty choice, consider first the washbasin/bath/bidet you have chosen for (or currently have in) your bathroom. Remember that if you are fitting a new tap in an existing fixture, or have purchased a fixture with pre-drilled tap holes, you should choose a tap that requires the same number of holes to help simplify the installation.

Nowadays, the range of options for bathroom faucets in both contemporary and traditional designs is almost endless, and having chosen a style there is then the consideration of colour.

The majority of bathroom taps are fashioned in brass, which can then be enameled or metal plated with high gloss or matt finishes such as chrome, nickel, polished brass, and pewter, silk steel and antique gold.

Models that are more expensive are made of solid stainless steel , which can be polished to a high shine or brushed to create a low sheen finish. Although these are more expensive, they are more hardwearing than their cheaper alternatives, which will eventually lose their plated finish.
