Bathroom Taps advice

feral

Hi All

I am looking for well-made, yet not overly expensive taps for my bathroom fit-out. I am following general advice and choosing to spend money on decent fittings, so have been checking out Grohe, Hansgrohe etc. (Sanitary-ware will be coming from Saneux).

I have low water pressure (top floor of a 11-storey building), and have read that the Italian and German brands are not great for UK homes with low pressure systems, and that I should consider a decent UK brand of tap.

Does anyone know which UK brands I should investigate?

Also, does my low water pressure dictate as to whether I could install deck-mounted or wall-mounted taps?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Bristan offer taps suitable for low pressure

Most are now cartridge based so do require decent flow , choose taps that have solid pipe work rather than small bore flexi hoses

The most important thing is to find the brochures for any taps you are interested in - most manufacturers post them on-line these days. Then check whether the particular taps you like are suitable for low-pressure systems. You may well find that some of the taps from one manufacturer are suitable, while others aren't.
