Basin Taps

A basin tap needs to suit both the basin and the way the bathroom is plumbed. Match the height to the basin type: a standard mixer for a basin with a tap hole, a tall mixer for a vessel basin that sits on the counter, and a wall-type mixer where the spout comes from the wall. Check that the spout reaches far enough into the bowl to limit splashing.

This selection comes from Kohler, Hansgrohe and Grohe, made in the USA and Germany. Chrome leads, with gold, black and bronze options in polished and matt finishes. A Deck Mount subcategory covers mixers fixed to the counter. Note that some Hansgrohe models are listed without a waste set.
