Tapware

Tapware covers the taps and mixers you use around the bathroom, kitchen and laundry. Taps are touched every day, so a smooth action, a reliable mechanism and a finish that lasts all matter as much as the look. 

The range includes basin mixers, bath and shower mixers, kitchen and laundry taps, and related fittings. A single-lever mixer controls temperature and flow with one hand, while separate taps suit traditional designs. Wall-mounted taps free up benchtop space. 

Compatibility is the first thing to check. Match the tap to your basin, sink or bath, including the tap hole configuration, and look at the spout height and reach. Plumbing products in Australia should carry the right certification, so check the product details. 

Finish adds to the look. Chrome, matte black, brushed tones and others are available, so choose one that suits your accessories and fittings. A licensed plumber should install tapware and confirm that it suits your water supply. 

Clean with a soft cloth and a gentle cleaner to keep the finish looking fresh. 

Water efficiency is worth checking too. Look at the WELS rating in the product details, since more stars means the tap uses less water. 

Browse the tapware collections to compare styles and finishes, and choose taps that suit your home.
