Thermostatic mixer taps

Thermostatic taps are becoming increasingly popular in households! You’ll find them not only in bathrooms, but also in kitchens. Thanks to their ability to maintain a constant water temperature, they provide greater comfort as well as enhanced safety.

What are thermostatic taps?

Thermostatic taps are a special type of tap that automatically maintain the set water temperature. Unlike standard faucets, where you have to manually adjust the temperature and flow continuously, thermostatic taps allow you to set the desired temperature once and keep it constant throughout use.

How do thermostatic taps work?

Thermostatic taps contain a thermostatic valve that mixes hot and cold water to a preset temperature. The valve responds to changes in water temperature and pressure in the pipework and immediately compensates for them to ensure a stable water temperature. This provides both comfort and safety at home, as it prevents sudden temperature changes that could cause scalding.

How to choose a thermostatic tap?

Choosing the right thermostatic tap can significantly affect the comfort and safety of everyday water use in your bathroom or kitchen. Here are a few tips on what to consider when making your choice.

Type of thermostatic tap

As with standard taps, you can choose from several types. Our range includes thermostatic basin taps, bath taps, shower taps, as well as central thermostatic taps.

Installation

Just like standard taps, thermostatic taps are available with several installation options. For all types, you can choose surface-mounted or concealed installation. With thermostatic basin taps, a deck-mounted option is also available. For thermostatic bath taps, you can additionally choose installation on the rim of the bathtub or floor-mounted installation.

Thermostatic tap controls

You don’t have to limit yourself when it comes to control options either. Single-lever thermostatic taps are standard, but you can also choose controls via handles or buttons. For thermostatic basin taps, you can even opt for a touchless version, which increases the level of hygiene in your home.

Quality and brand of thermostatic taps

Choose a thermostatic tap from a renowned manufacturer. Quality brands offer reliable, high-quality products with a long service life. Proven brands include GROHE, Hansgrohe, Ideal Standard, kielle, Duravit, HANSA, Paffoni, and others. Manufacturers also cater to demanding users—whether you’re looking for a luxurious finish, striking design, or top-tier quality, you’ll find it here. Among design enthusiasts, brands such as AXOR and KEUCO are especially popular.

Design

You don’t need to compromise on design either. Just like standard taps, thermostatic taps are available in a wide range of styles, sizes, and colours, allowing you to coordinate your bathroom down to the smallest detail.

Technology

Thermostatic taps also feature unique surface finishes or technologies that make maintenance easier, reduce water consumption, or provide scald protection. These technologies vary by manufacturer, but we recommend taking them into account—especially if you want to extend the lifespan of your thermostatic tap with minimal effort.

With a thermostatic tap, you can be sure that everyday activities such as showering or brushing your teeth will be not only more pleasant, but also safer. Keeping these factors in mind will help you find the ideal thermostatic tap that suits your needs and contributes to a more sustainable household.
