Finding the right tap for your newly installed washroom or kitchen isn’t an easy task. A lot goes behind making the right choice. But first things first and it’s gathering the right information before going for a tap shopping. If you are asking yourself questions about the different types of taps, you have come to the right place.
A pillar tap is one of the older types of taps that you may have come across. They are usually mounted on the basin and have separate taps for hot and cold water flow. The pillar tap is a classic, old-school tap that comes in finishes of many colors. The handles of pillar taps can be customized as per your liking. The most preferred types of handles are usually the lever type or the bib type.
Mixer tap, as the name suggests is a tap that has a single outlet for both hot and cold water. This is the kind of tap you would want to go for if you are looking for an easy flow of hot and cold water. The mixer tap also allows you to control the flow of water along with the temperature.
Monobloc Tap
Some mixer taps come in a style that is known as a monobloc. Monobloc mixer taps are a single unit featuring one or two handles. The hot and cold water can be adjusted and is mixed in the tap before leaving through a single spout
Wall Mounted Tap
As the name might have already made it clear the taps that come mounted onto the walls, Wall-mounted taps are usually contemporary and can protrude over the bath or basin. These taps are a bit hard to install as they need to be mounted inside the wall.
Sensor Tap
Sensor taps are the most modern form of taps and also the most advanced in terms of technology. These sensor taps are usually the first preference when it comes to public washrooms, as they need not be touched by hands for the dispersal of water. Just a scoop of hands and the tap’s on!
