Tap Design
A mono mixer uses one mounting hole, while separate taps or a multi-hole set need the matching hole layout. Wall-mounted styles leave the rim clear. Think about who will use the tap and how much room there is around the controls. A compact basin usually benefits from a spout proportionate to the bowl.
Fit & Water Pressure
Check the bowl height, spout clearance and reach together. The tap needs to direct water comfortably into the bowl. Compare the distance from the tap mounting point to the centre of the bowl. Check the spout height against the rim and the room needed behind the tap for a lever to move. Compare the stated pressure range with your water system.
Finishes & Fittings
Compare finishes in the context of the room, particularly if the tap will sit next to a visible waste or shower fitting. The same finish name can look different between ranges. Check whether the model comes with the waste, tail pipes or other fittings you need. Look at whether the waste and tap finish come from the same manufacturer’s range.
