How to choose a basin mixer

First, look at your basin. A pedestal or counter-top basin with a tap hole takes a standard deck-mounted mixer. A table-top (vessel) basin that sits on the counter needs a tall mixer, or a wall-mounted mixer that comes out of the wall. Wall-mounted and hidden mixers must be planned before tiling, because the valve body goes inside the wall.

Second, decide if you need hot water. A cold-water basin tap is enough for guest toilets. If you have a water heater, choose a mixer with hot and cold inlets.

Which shower is right for your water pressure?

In many Lagos homes, water flows by gravity from an overhead tank, so pressure depends on how high the tank is above the shower. A large rain shower head feels wonderful with good pressure but can feel weak if the tank is low. If your pressure is low, a hand shower or a smaller head is often the better choice — or add a pressure pump. Tell us about your building and we will help you choose.

• Rain shower column — exposed pipe with a rain head and hand shower; easy to install on a finished wall.
• Hidden (in-wall) shower — the cleanest look; the valve is built into the wall before tiling.
• Piano-key digital shower — push-button controls and a temperature display for a modern, luxury bathroom. See our Smart Technology range.

Chrome, matte black, gunmetal or gold?

What is a shattaf — and do you need one?

A shattaf (toilet spray) is a small hand spray fixed beside the WC for washing. It connects to the water line with a small two-way valve and is easy for a plumber to fit. Many Nigerian homes now add one to every WC. See our shattaf options.

Make it look like one designer bathroom

• Choose one finish for taps, shower, shattaf and accessories.
• Match the shape: square mixers with square basins and WCs, round with round.
• Finish with a good mirror — an LED mirror lifts the whole room.

Caring for your fittings

Wipe taps and showers with a soft, damp cloth and dry them. Avoid bleach and scouring powder on chrome, black and gold finishes. If you use borehole water with iron or heavy minerals, a water filter protects your fittings and keeps them shining.
