Armitage Shanks Solid Brass Taps

Solid brass tap bodies

Solid brass is known for its durability and long life in wet corrosive environments. Tap bodies made from brass will last decades, and can stand up to a lot of wear and tear. In fact, brass fixtures almost always stand up to hot water damage and other corrosive environmental factors better than any other material, including plastic and steel. Plus, its sturdiness makes it hard to damage through daily use.

Armitage Shanks Chrome Finish

Chrome finishes

Chrome has always been and will always be a stable finish in the bathroom or around our homes in general. Its smooth surface is brilliantly easy to keep clean with a simple wipe down, and the lack of texture helps to stop the build up of mould. And you can’t deny that it looks great in almost any setting too!

Which Armitage Shanks tap is easiest to use if you have limited hand strength or mobility?

Look for models with large, easy-to-operate controls, the range includes single-lever, push button and round knob options specifically designed for ease of use. Single lever mixers let you control flow and temperature with one smooth movement, while push button variants give a clear on/off action that's gentle on the hands. The product copy highlights that large handles are a key feature across the range, so a single lever Avon 21 basin mixer is a good choice if you want low effort operation and accurate control.

How do I decide between a basin mixer and pillar taps for my bathroom basin?

A basin mixer (often a single spout) blends hot and cold inside the tap and usually needs one tap hole, giving you precise temperature control from one control. Pillar taps are separate hot and cold fittings that commonly require two holes and suit traditional basins or period bathrooms. For a modern, compact basin pick a mixer such as the Contour 21 basin mixer; if you prefer a classic look, the Avon 21 pillar taps offer that traditional two?hole setup.

Will these taps work with my water pressure?

The range covers different pressure needs: four of the six included in our range models are suitable for high pressure systems (1 bar+), one model is made for low pressure (0.1 0.4 bar) and one is labelled suitable for all systems. If you have a combi boiler or pumped system, choose one of the high pressure compatible taps; for gravity fed cisterns pick the low pressure option. If you're unsure, select the model marked suitable for all systems to cover every setup.

What should I look for in a kitchen tap from this range?

For kitchens you'll likely want a high neck and a swivel spout so you can fill pans and reach all corners of the sink, the Alterna 21 high neck pillar taps and the Markwik kitchen mixer are examples that suit those needs. The filters show three swivel spouts in the range, which is handy for two bowl sinks or washing large pots. If you want extra flexibility, the Starlite model combines a basin mixer with a shower handset style spray for added reach.

How durable are these taps and how do I keep the chrome finish looking good?

Armitage Shanks are known for high quality manufacture and the collection is backed by long, worry?free guarantees, so durability is a strong point. Most models here are chrome finished, which is hardwearing and easy to match with other bathroom fittings. Keep the finish bright by wiping with a soft cloth after use and avoid abrasive cleaners; chrome resists corrosion well but shows water spots if not dried.
