They work well in minimalist bathrooms and can make smaller basins appear more spacious.

Waterfall Taps

Add a luxurious touch to your bathroom with waterfall taps. These taps allow water to flow out through a wide spout, mimicking the gentle pour of a waterfall. This type is not only visually stunning but also enhances the sensory experience of using your basin. Discover elegant waterfall taps at Tapron Ireland.

Also known as vessel taps, tall basin taps are designed to complement vessel sinks, which sit above the counter. These taps are taller than standard taps, providing the necessary clearance for above-counter basins.
