Types of taps by function

Technological innovations have totally revolutionised the tapware sector. Automated machinery and advanced technology enable the manufacture of high quality, sustainable, certifiable products in accordance with international standards. We offer five lines of taps that differ in function and technology.

Thermostatic taps

These taps are all about comfort in the bathroom environment, keeping the water in the washbasin or shower at a constant temperature. They guarantee the end user advantages in terms of energy savings and optimised consumption. They can be fitted with a matching shower column to create bathrooms with homogenous design.

Technology

We produce thermostatic taps using thermostatic cartridges with or without pressure balance. The water temperature stays constant even when several taps are in use at the same time.

Design

Taps with an innovative, minimal, linear shape that fit well into modern decor.

Single lever mixers

The single-lever mixer has been one of the most popular innovations in the history of tapware. The switch from double to single lever taps, although taken for granted by many, allows for easier, faster management of the water flow rate, optimises consumption and frees up space on the basin.

Technology

We make a single lever mixer with cartridges featuring different diameters and shafts.

Design

We customise the shape and finish of the taps to achieve a product that is aesthetically pleasing and fits into different contexts.

Traditional taps

The traditional tap has not gone out of fashion: many customers prefer to have a line of more classic items with retro charm in their catalogue to characterise Victorian-style bathrooms or to create contrasts in modern bathrooms. Our traditional taps are designed to ensure optimum performance, durability and resistance.

Technology

We manufacture traditional taps using state-of-the-art components to improve the quality of the water supply. Their design is customisable and their technology is state-of-the-art.

Design

Traditional taps are perfect for bathrooms with a vintage feel and have quite distinctive visual impact. They are perfect for period villas and historic homes and can be customised in terms of shape and finish. In recent years they have also been used in sophisticated modern contexts.

Electronic taps

An innovation in terms of hygiene and water saving, electronic taps are mainly used in the public sector: restaurants, hotels, businesses. An excellent solution for hospitals, private clinics, and medical practices, electronic taps work thanks to a sensor that detects the hands approaching the tap and automatically activates the water jet.

Technology

The electronic tap is manufactured using state-of-the-art technology for infrared operation with high quality electronic components adapted to the faucet's sleek, smaller shape.

Design

Attention is paid to detail to keep the body minimal and linear.

Timed taps

Timed taps are designed for careful management of water supply and feature solid durable construction. Also called push-button taps, they are often installed in public washrooms to speed up hand washing and improve hygiene.

Technology

Our timed brass tap is a mechanical tap that allows the supply of pre-mixed water for a fixed time and avoids over-consumption.

Design

The shape of our timed tap is up-to-date and state-of-the-art. We supply it in a variety of finishes to suit individual user tastes.
