Bathroom Taps advice

feral
Posts: 8 Forumite
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 hosesHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0 -
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.If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.0
