Tap into the latest bathroom designs

When it comes to bathroom design, the choice of tap is pivotal and can ultimately influence the final look of the room. It is almost like bathroom jewellery, dressing plain white sanitary ware and transforming it into something unique and individual. However, the tap is also one of the hardest working pieces of equipment in the bathroom. It must therefore not only look good, but also perform. And as bathrooms tend to be re-designed every 10 years, both the look and performance of taps must stand the test of time.

With so many taps on the market, making the right choice can be a challenge. Cheaper options may look like a bargain but as we all know, “you get what you pay for”: there will have to be some compromise on materials and components to keep the price down, so it is very unlikely to last. It is always worth remembering that quality products are a much better investment in the long run, and it is especially important in the current economic climate to spend our money wisely.

To ensure that we make an informed decision, GROHE submitted its taps to rigorous testing by the internationally renowned TÜV SÜD * and won the ‘best in test’ award for one hand mixers. The independent test focused on the mechanical performance and reliability of nine manufacturers’ taps over the equivalent of twenty years use, and the GROHE product came top. At the end of the test, thanks to a superior technology called SilkMove, GROHE’s tap was still delivering an effortless control of water temperature and flow, whilst some other taps had lost their initial smooth operation.

From traditional to cutting edge, GROHE has a range of taps to suit every lifestyle, all with a five-year warranty. Perfect examples of this combination of style and quality are GROHE’s award winning Allure and Lineare. The epitome of minimalist chic, these ranges incorporate clean, sleek lines and uncluttered styling.
