Durable solid brass build Solid brass is known for its durability and long life in wet corrosive environments. Tap bodies made from brass will last decades, and can stand up to a lot of wear and tear. In fact, brass fixtures almost always stand up to hot water damage and other corrosive environmental factors better than any other material, including plastic and steel. Plus, its sturdiness makes it hard to damage through daily use. Black Finish This tap features a sleek and stylish black finish. Black finished fittings are becoming a popular choice for those looking to create a statement in their bathroom. The black contrasts perfectly with white sanitaryware, leaving you with a luxurious monochrome look. Understanding water pressure Before installing taps it’s always a good idea to check what your homes water pressure is like otherwise your new basin or bath mixer might seem a little underwhelming. Now don’t throw in the towel at this news as there’s a pretty easy way to check what your water pressure is. All you need is a stop watch, available on most smart phones, and a 1 litre measuring jug. Firstly you need to make sure any appliances that use water like the dishwasher or washing machine are turned off along with any taps elsewhere in the house. Then put the cold side of your kitchen mixer tap on full blast and see how long it takes to fill the jug. If it takes longer than 7 seconds then chances are you’ve got low water pressure.
