Choosing your Bathroom Tapware
The Bathroom is a sanctuary within the house for you to relax and wash
away the day. To get the most out of your bathroom there needs to be an
even mixture of style and practicality – both of which can be achieved at
Burdens. Tapware is an important part of this combination and Burdens is
committed to helping you find the right tapware for you with our extensive
range of stylish and functional taps.
There are several elements to consider when purchasing tapware:
Water efficiency – WELS Rating
With drought and dwindling water supplies, it is becoming more important
for Australians to find ways to reduce water consumption. As a result, the
Federal Government introduced the WELS scheme (Water Efficiency Labelling
and Standards Scheme.). All tapware at Burdens is WELS rated and complies
with Government Standards. The more stars the better. For more on WELS
visit their website - click here.
Temperature control
Temperature control is one of the most important aspects of tapware,
especially if you have young children. The ideal tapware will heat water
to a set temperature, instantly, every time. Alternatively, temperature
control pads are available, where you can pre-set the temperature as part
of the water heater.
Ease of use
There's nothing more annoying than spending 10 minutes in the morning
trying to get the shower temperature just right because the tapware is
difficult to use. Some taps are designed to be especially user-friendly,

stores and ask one of our helpful showroom consultants.

Your choices in bathroom tapware include traditional, contemporary, round or square styles:
Basin Mixer: sits on top of your basin or vanity unity and allows a single manoeuvre to mix the hot and cold water to the temperature you want.
Three Piece Tapware Hob Mounted Basin Set: separate hot and cold taps with an outlet, which sit on top of the basin or vanity unit
Three Piece Tapware Wall Mounted Basin Set: separate hot and cold taps with an outlet, which are wall mounted on the wall beside the basin or vanity unit.
Wall Mounted Basin Mixer: mounted on to the wall beside the vanity unity or bath, this mixes cold and water with one lever.
There are several elements to consider when purchasing tapware, and bathroom taps:
Plumbing:
If you are replacing tapware from an older bathroom, consider if you are willing to re-plumb to suit newer styles of tapware. Changing from three piece tapware to single basin or shower mixers is a little more complicated than a replica replacement but often worth the effort and cost for the increased convenience.
