As attitudes towards self-care and relaxation evolve, the development in bathroom aesthetics has been significantly changed. While bathroom designs reflected a more utilitarian approach to design, it is evident that bathrooms are now considered more than just functional spaces with a focus on practicality and utility. Bathroom taps play a massive role in determining this practicality and are designed to reflect shifting currents of style, technology and lifestyle preferences, fit for all interiors.
Modern bathroom taps in recent years observe a blend of comfort, luxury and wellness that go perfectly when combined with other essentials including rain showers, wall niches, countertop basins and sink wastes. Tapron’s range of bathroom tapware and shower fittings is meticulously crafted to cater to a diverse range of design preferences. For this, special emphasis is laid on the quality and build of every product.

Selecting Bathroom Taps: Stainless Steel or Brass?
Tapron brings every homeowner face-to-face with two quality builds with the tapware we offer. Stainless steel basin taps and bath taps boast timeless elegance in quality delivering durable performance owing to its resistance to corrosion, rust and tarnishing. Ensuring long-lasting beauty, these taps are ideal investments as they withstand harsh exposure to constant moisture and even cleaning agents without deteriorating the quality.
Serving as an excellent option for high-traffic areas, brass basin taps are another excellent choice that demands less maintenance effort without risking the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew. With a durability that parallels that of the stainless steel build, the brass manufacturing withstands the rigours of daily use even in humid environments. Brass bathroom taps are also environmentally friendly and can be recycled indefinitely without losing their quality, making them a deliberate endeavour for all modern homes!
The difference between these two wash basin taps is that the brass tapware demands a little more effort in cleaning and stainless steel proves to demand less maintenance. Both also have antimicrobial qualities that aid in killing germs and bacteria which makes them more suitable and safe for daily use in spaces like your kitchen and bathrooms.
A frequently asked question is “Is Bathroom Tap Water Safe To Drink?” which triggers several health and safety concerns along with myths and beliefs. Water undergoes several filtration processes in the UK before it enters your home’s system. However, this does not guarantee that water becomes completely safe for consumption. The antimicrobial properties of our taps combined with water filters and plumbing systems enable you to make a conscious effort towards this issue.

Diving into Tap Tones and Finishing Flourishes
Our assortment of bathroom taps is offered in a variety of tones and finishes to enable each homeowner the liberty to choose without compromise. Bath and basin taps are offered in rich shades of black or gold that exude modern sophistication while creating a striking contrast against lighter hues and surfaces. A chrome tap has a shiny, reflective surface with a versatile blend, while gold invites warmth and opulence with its brushed or polished finishes. Creating the feel of an airy space, white taps are minimal and provide a fresh atmosphere and a glossy finish is provided with a yellow hue by the nickel range.
No matter your preference, there is a basin and bath mixer tap finish to suit your style and elevate the look of your home. Trendy finish materials in our selection include the brushed selection featuring a soft, satin-like appearance with visible brush strokes, adding depth and dimension to the tap. The subtle texture makes it highly resistant to fingerprints and water spots. A matt finish has a non-reflective surface that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. The smooth, velvety appearance makes cleaning easy while the polished finish leans more towards a glossy look with a high shine. They also create a sense of brightness and openness, making smaller spaces appear larger and more inviting.
Other popular shades also include the bronze range and classic stainless steel shades in alluring high-quality material finishes that tend to show fewer water spots and fingerprints, requiring less frequent cleaning.
