Taps are an essential element of any bathroom or kitchen. Shower mixer NZ, basin mixer NZ, bath mixer and sink mixer
are the most commonly used ones. Not only functionally, and visually they can make or break a bathroom or kitchen
design.
These products are among the most frequently used hygiene devices, so it is important to take the time to choose the
right ones. There are a vast number of these products available in the market and the selection could become mind
boggling and overwhelming.
Consider where you want to use them
The places where a sink mixer or bath mixer could be used for may vary from luxury, medium price property for
sale, apartment, rental property, or your own house. This factor could be decisive in the price range for
the products, as well as where they are installed.
Clearly for the luxury going to the market you probably want to use top brands such as “Hansgrohe”,” Kohler”,
or “Methven”. On the other hand, rental properties often utilize top quality products in their bathrooms
such as a shower head and mixer product or bath mixer. While renovating your own bathroom, your budget will
ultimately decide which products you use and where they should be installed.
Basic factors in selection.
It is important to consider the water pressure and rating when looking at vanity unit mixer taps.
There are only two major water pressures currently used in New Zealand.
- High pressure
- Unequal pressure or low pressure
It is important to note that if the water pressure is low, the selection range is largely reduced and you
will have less selection in the products you can choose.
Water rating is marked by WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme) starting from number one to six. The
higher the number, the more efficient the water usage. The importance of the water rating also depends on
how often or how much water volume the bath mixer is planning to use.
Setup and style
The first step in choosing tapware style is to consider the design of your bathroom – is it contemporary or
traditional? Does your tap of choice fit seamlessly with the rest of the bathroom?
Also do you have ideas to fit a unique style for your bathroom? There are a vast number of different tapware
products available in the market. For easy selection we can classify it by looking through a certain
criteria:
The Setup of the Tap
- Vanity unit mixer taps setup
- Basin mixer NZ
Wall mounted basin mixer While basin mixer NZ is easy to install and features a wall-mounted model, its
popularity is slowly increasing because of its visual appeal, decluttering and space-saving benefits.
Shower mixer
- Standalone wall mounted
- Integrated shower station
The standalone shower mixers are much cheaper compared to all-in-one setup. The later one can well reduce
your piping work and make it more contemporary looking for a whole shower unit.
Bath mixer
- Separate bath mixer and spout
- Integrated bath mixer and spout
Product shape
The taps need to match the environment surrounding such as the vanity, shower, or toilet. Round products are
more fit for traditional design, whereas square ones have a more contemporary appeal. Major brands always
have their featured series with individual ideals.
Finish
Chrome
This timeless finish has been the most popular choice of tapware for years.
Brass or gold
Great for achieving an old-world effect in traditional or heritage-style bathrooms.
Coated finishes
Brushed metals (such as nickel, gunmetal and rose gold) and matte black have rapidly gained popularity in
recent years.
