How to choose the right tapware

Start with the fitting type each room needs: basin mixers for vanities, bath and shower mixers (or a wall mixer plus separate spout) for bathing areas, and kitchen or laundry mixers for sinks and troughs. Check the tap's minimum and maximum water pressure against your home's supply, particularly for gravity-fed hot water systems in older houses, and confirm the inlet spacing matches your existing pipework or new rough-in position before ordering.

Then choose a finish that will hold up to daily use. Chrome is the most forgiving finish for busy family bathrooms and kitchens. Matte black and brushed metal finishes deliver a more considered look but should be wiped down rather than scrubbed with abrasive cleaners. Keep tapware finish consistent across each room, and buy basin, bath, shower and accessory tapware together where possible so tone and sheen match exactly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a mixer tap and separate hot and cold taps?
A mixer tap blends hot and cold water through a single spout using one control, while separate taps have two individual valves. Mixers are the standard choice in modern Australian bathrooms and kitchens because they let you set temperature and flow with one movement, and most new build and renovation projects specify mixers rather than traditional two-tap sets.
Does tapware need to be WaterMark certified in Australia?
Yes. Any tapware connected to a water supply in an Australian home must carry WaterMark certification to comply with the Plumbing Code of Australia. This applies to basin mixers, bath and shower mixers, kitchen taps and outdoor taps. Always check for the WaterMark licence number on the product listing before you buy.
Which tapware finish is easiest to maintain?
Chrome is the easiest finish to keep clean day to day because water marks and fingerprints wipe off without much effort. Matte black and brushed finishes (nickel, gold, bronze) hide fingerprints well but need a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner to avoid dulling the surface over time.
Can I mix tapware finishes in the same bathroom or kitchen?
Yes, mixing complementary finishes such as matte black tapware with chrome or brushed nickel accessories is a common design choice, but keep the finish consistent within one fitting group (for example, all basin, bath and shower tapware in one bathroom matching) so the space still reads as intentional.
How long does tapware take to arrive after ordering?
Most in-stock tapware dispatches from Lamex within one to two business days, with delivery times across Australia varying by location. Exact stock and freight estimates are shown on each product page before checkout.
