Single vs Mixer shower taps - What’s the difference?

If you’re in the process of upgrading your shower, you’ll need to consider what type of shower tap to install. Here’s a quick guide of the different types of shower taps: Single taps: Work with just one handle to control the water. A pro to a single shower tap is that you can leave the handle in the position to your preferred water temperature. Mixer taps: Work with a separate handle to control the hot and cold water. Mixer taps encourage better water efficiency compared to the single shower tap.

Choosing a shower tap finish

• Brushed tapware is a top shower tap finish for bathrooms with a warm and classic design. Offering finishes in brushed brass, brushed copper and brushed gold, Abey’s range of brushed tapware will compliment your classic design.
• For a contemporary room, the popular matte black or gunmetal should be your first choice of finish.
• For a classic and forever on-trend bathroom, our white or stainless steel shower taps will be your go-to.

Three things to consider before buying a shower tap

1. Firstly, you need to consider the type of plumbing work required for your shower tap. With mixer and single shower taps requiring different plumbing works, it’s important to discuss your options with your Plumber before purchasing a shower tap.
2. The style of your shower tap is important. Ensuring it matches both the shower head and basin faucets is critical in having a room that flows.
3. Consider who is using your shower tap. With single taps featuring just one handle, it might be easier for little people to manage on their own, compared to a mixer shower tap.
