Tapware

Choosing the right tapware for your bathroom, kitchen or laundry is an important decision. Functionality and practicality aside, let’s face it, tapware plays a key role in the overall design when styling a room. Good thing you’re spoilt for choice at WHO Bathroom Warehouse.

Selecting the right tapware:

• Style and design – You want your tapware to tie in with other design elements in the room like cupboard and drawer handles, hooks and appliances. If your room is minimalist, go with sleek and clean designs. If it’s more traditional or country style, you might prefer fittings with curves and decorative details. WHO Bathroom Warehouse stocks a huge range of tapware in a variety of finishes, from chrome to stainless steel and black for starters.

• Mounting – Often overlooked until installation is being attempted, you need to ensure the shape and diameters are a correct fit for its corresponding basin and bench. If your desired tap has a lever or handle, make sure there is going to be adequate space for it to move freely. Wall mounts free up bench space but can be more difficult and expensive to install, whereas sink/bench mounts are cheaper and simpler.

• Shape and spout – There’s a variety of shapes and spouts available to make all activities in your kitchen, bathroom or laundry the most efficient and easy to execute as possible. Swivel spouts enable you to redirect water between double bowls or sinks, making cooking and washing easier. Higher arc spouts make maneuvering big pots and pans in the kitchen, or buckets in the laundry a breeze and large spouts deliver more water efficiently.

• Ergonomics – Think about all of the ways you use taps. Will it be easier to use turn, twist or lever handles? Does anyone in the home have restricted hand movements? Levers and handles make multitasking and hand washing easier.

• Specialised taps – WHO Bathroom Warehouse also stocks specialised taps such as professional sprayer taps for the kitchen with a pull out spray nozzle. It’ll be your best friend in the kitchen, with its powerful directional spray easily and efficiently removing dirt from fresh fruit and veges, rinsing heavy pots and pans and prepping plates for the dishwasher.
