The Beauty of a Timeless Finish

Brushed brass traditional taps have become a signature finish in traditional bathrooms for good reason—it offers a distinctive look that feels warm, rich, and effortlessly classic.The soft sheen of this finish provides a more understated alternative to polished chrome, making it ideal for spaces where elegance is defined by subtlety rather than shine.

What makes this finish even more appealing in our collection is the inclusion of white detailing on select taps. Elements like white ceramic handles and accents not only elevate the period styling but also create a beautiful visual contrast that enhances the overall vintage look. This pairing of warm metal tones with white is reminiscent of early 20th-century bathroom fittings, adding charm and authenticity to any space—perfect for anyone seeking the look and feel of an old fashioned brass tap with the benefits of modern engineering.

Beyond aesthetics, these taps are constructed from high-grade solid brass and finished with a PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating. This advanced process enhances durability, protecting the surface from tarnishing, scratches, and moisture damage over time. The result is a finish that not only looks refined but is also engineered to withstand daily use while maintaining its rich appearance.

For the homeowner who wants to combine traditional style with modern resilience, a brass bathroom faucet offers the perfect balance of heritage-inspired design and dependable performance.

Benefits:

• Naturally develops a rich patina over the year
  
• Coordinates effortlessly with natural materials like marble, wood, and stone

FAQs

1. Do these taps require special cleaning?
These taps don’t require any harsh chemicals or specialist products. To maintain their beautiful finish, simply clean them regularly with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh cleaners, as these can dull the surface. Drying the tap after use can also help prevent water marks and preserve its appearance.

2. How is brushed brass different from polished brass?
Known for its soft, matte surface, the brushed texture is achieved by gently removing the shine, resulting in a more understated and modern appearance. In contrast, polished brass features a highly reflective, glossy surface that evokes a more traditional aesthetic. The matte version is often favoured in contemporary bathrooms for its subtle warmth and its ability to resist fingerprints and water spots.

3. Are traditional taps suitable for modern plumbing systems?
Yes, most traditional-style taps are now designed to be fully compatible with modern plumbing systems. While they feature classic detailing and period-inspired designs, the internal mechanisms are built to work efficiently with current water pressure standards and fittings.

4. Is this finish a good long-term investment for bathrooms?
Absolutely. This finish is both stylish and durable, making it a popular choice for long-term bathroom upgrades. Made from solid brass and finished with a PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating, it offers enhanced resistance to corrosion, tarnishing, and daily wear. This material not only ages gracefully over time but also works beautifully with a range of design schemes—from traditional to modern—making it a versatile and lasting option.

5. Are there water pressure requirements for traditional brass taps?
Yes, as with any bathroom tap, it’s important to check the minimum water pressure required. Most traditional models work well with standard water pressure, typically from 0.2 to 1.0 bar and above. Always refer to the specific product details to ensure compatibility with your system.

6. What is the average flow rate of traditional brass bathroom taps ?
The average flow rate for bathroom taps ranges from 5 to 8 litres per minute, depending on your water pressure and the tap's design. Many modern taps are fitted with flow regulators to improve efficiency and reduce water usage without compromising performance.
