The stunning assortment of vintage bathroom taps feature a rich assortment of black, chrome, and gold hues which are structured to serve with modern functionality in any traditional space and décor. Manufactured with the best quality brass material, these taps are go-to solutions that last long while looking posh with a traditional charm. Brass pillar taps typically consist of separate hot and cold taps mounted on individual pillars or stands, allowing users to control the temperature and flow of water independently. While these taps serve a practical purpose, they also contribute to the overall aesthetic of the bathroom, adding style and sophistication to the space. These independent controls make the taps user-friendly by providing easy accessibility and allowing the perfect balance of water temperature and flow. These are more embellished and intricate versions counterparts of monobloc taps which generally feature a single handle and spout.

Understanding Basin Pillar Taps
Mounting and Controls: Bath and basin pillar taps are characterised by their vintage-inspired design, featuring separate hot and cold taps mounted on individual pillars. These taps typically have crosshead or lever handles adorned with decorative details, adding to their classic charm. Generally, the two-hole deck mounting configuration requires pre-drilled holes on the countertop, with each tap secured independently for optimal stability. These taps are known for their timeless elegance, precise temperature control, easy installation, and durability which makes them popular buys in modern and traditional bathroom spaces.
Handles and Spouts: The traditional and modern pillar taps are set apart by the handles and spouts. In more contemporary structures, the tap is adorned with knobs or round handles while traditional designs may feature crosshead, pinch, and lever handles with white or black accents. Spouts are straight and slightly curved towards the base which allows the perfect cascade of water while providing ample clearance for daily chores.
Vintage style basin taps with long nose spouts are designed to provide a longer reach and increased clearance in sink areas where standard designs may not suffice. The elongated spouts have a slender, curved profile and allow water to flow farther from the base of the tap. This extended reach of long nose spouts also helps minimise splashing by directing the water flow closer to the centre of the sink or basin, reducing mess and water wastage during use.
What Makes Tapron’s Vintage Taps Different From Regular Designs?
The wash basin pillar tap selection we offer embodies a fusion of heritage and innovation, offering fixtures that combine classic elegance with cutting-edge technology for superior performance and durability.
Ceramic Disc Technology for Smooth Operation: One of the key innovations in modern brass pillars is the integration of ceramic disc technology. Traditional taps often rely on rubber washers to control the flow of water, which can degrade over time and lead to drips and leaks. These discs, made from high-quality ceramic materials, provide a smooth and precise mechanism for regulating water flow, ensuring effortless operation by maintaining a smooth balance for glitch-free usability.
Our selection of antique taps features ceramic disc technology as a standard feature which not only provides smooth and consistent operation but also reduces the risk of drips and leaks, promoting water conservation and reducing maintenance requirements. The assured guarantee from the manufacturer with each buy further brings the proof of a quality product!
Water Efficiency Without Compromise: The pillar tap collection is designed to be highly water-efficient, incorporating features such as flow restrictors, aerators, and eco-friendly cartridges. These innovations help reduce water wastage without compromising performance, allowing users to enjoy a satisfying bathing experience while making sustainable choices. Water pressure requirements vary from design to design where our collection caters to high-pressure (1 bar-3 bars) to low-pressure (0.1 bar-0.5 bars) ranges.
