Hydra Bathroom Taps

Roper Rhodes Hydra bathroom taps are a brand new edition to their collections, it is simply a really well priced designer range of taps and mixers.

What I like apart from the price is the design, its wide waterfall styled spout and handle that follows perfectly, it has a squared body and all the great function of all the other Roper Rhodes ranges like a built in temperature and  flow limiter that can be adjusted to suit the installation.

Hydra is not a huge range but covers the minimum requirement, in the collection is the Hydra mini mono basin mixer and the Hydra basin mixer in the picture to the right, the Hydra bath filler and the Hydra bath shower mixer which comes complete with a contemporary square shower handset and hose.

Cheap bathroom taps by price but not by design…

Square Bathroom Taps

Looking around at new ranges of square bathroom taps and I came across the Navona collection which is a brand new range which I had not noticed before, it has a lever that is flush to the top of the handle which is a slightly unusual approach but very neat in design, although this is a small range it has every thing that is required for a bathroom, in the collection is either a pair of basin taps or a  mono block basin mixer, there is a bidet mixer and for the bath the choice of a separate pair of bath taps a bath filler or a bath shower mixer.

In the picture to the left is the mono bloc basin mixer and a bath filler, to know the quality of the product the handles have to be smooth in operation which is generally a good test of the quality brassware and these are certainly up the the standard I would expect.

Value for money is where this range really stands out the basin taps come in at just £55.00 with the basin mixer just £63.00 even the bath shower mixer is well priced at £156.00 which makes this range my choice for quality at a price, if you would like to view the whole range on offer then just click here.

Within the Bristan Capri range of bathroom taps are separate pairs of basin and bath taps, three choices of mono bloc basin mixers standard with or pop up waste, or an Eco-click mixer for water saving, a bath filler and a bath shower mixer.
