  • Round profiles with no sharp edges reduce the risk of knocks in shared or assisted-use spaces
  • Compatible with standard basin and wall tapware rough-ins, simplifying installation
  • Suited to commercial, aged-care and residential accessible bathrooms alike

How to choose the right care tapware

The handle is the main decision. Extended-lever handles are the standard choice for care tapware because they let someone with reduced grip strength push the handle with an open hand, the side of their fist, or even a forearm, rather than needing to pinch and twist a small knob. Compare the lever length across the range on this page — longer levers generally need less force to operate, which matters more in high-turnover facility settings than in a single home bathroom.

Then match the mixer type to the fixture: a basin mixer for the vanity, a sink mixer for a kitchenette or servery basin, and a shower or wall mixer for the shower recess. Keep the finish consistent across all three if you're fitting out a whole room or facility, since mismatched finishes stand out more in a care setting where fixtures are viewed up close during assisted use. Chrome and matte black are the easiest to keep clean-looking under frequent wiping.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between care tapware and standard tapware?
Care tapware typically uses extended or lever-style handles rather than small knobs, so it can be operated with limited hand strength or dexterity, and by people using a closed fist or the side of a hand rather than a pinch grip.
What finishes are available for care tapware?
Lamex stocks care tapware in chrome, matte black, brushed gold, brushed bronze, brushed nickel and gun metal, so you can match fittings across a whole facility or a single accessible bathroom.
Can I use care tapware in a standard bathroom, not just aged care?
Yes. Extended-lever tapware works well in any household where hand strength or grip varies over time, not only in registered care facilities, and it looks like a normal design choice rather than a medical fitting.
