When it comes to designing a bathroom, a combination of aesthetics and functionality is essential. Accessories such as showers and bathroom faucets not only perform essential daily tasks, they can also elevate the style of your bathroom.

There are numerous types and designs of bathroom taps available on the market. Common materials include stainless steel, brass, nickel, and plastic. Factors such as rust, corrosion, leeching, and wear and tear have led to plastic faucets becoming the preferred choice for a lot of customers these days. Further, top brands such as APL Apollo design stylish and durable bathroom faucets in a variety of colours and finishes, suiting the tastes of both modern and classic customers.

Here, we take a look at the factors you need to consider when purchasing bathroom taps for your home.


1. Complement your bathroom’s style

Bathroom faucets are an extension of your overall style. Consider aspects such as colour theme, look (modern or classic), and preferred style when choosing your accessories. This will allow for complementary designs rather than those that look like misfits. APL Apollo offers a series of faucets in different designs and colours to match every bathroom style. From the classic whites of the Bloom Series to the silver-grey shades of the Royal Series, these plastic faucets are the best way to give your bathroom a stylish new look.


2. Pick a sturdy material

Bathrooms pose the most challenging conditions for faucets and showers. Long-term exposure to hot and humid conditions can lead to rust formation on accessories or dull the shine of traditional metal faucets.

APL Apollo's plastic faucets are crafted using high-quality Tuffplast materials that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also resistant to rust and corrosion. Further, these bathroom faucets are resistant to bacterial growth and are completely free from lead, which makes them safe for use.

For those looking for a stainless-steel substitute, the silver finish of APL Apollo’s Fusion and Elegance Series is a great fit, while the white and black combination of the Spark Series complements a modern bathroom better.


3. Check the water flow

Mineral deposits, scaling, and the formation of rust on the bathroom taps can impact water flow. This can be quite problematic in areas with extreme weather conditions or hard water. Choose a material that ensures smooth water flow in all cases. Traditional metals are more prone to such concerns, making plastic faucets a preferred choice.

APL Apollo’s faucets are designed to stand the test of time under all weather conditions. Not only does this allow for better functionality, but it also reduces maintenance expenses and improves water efficiency.


4. Check the faucet style

A major determinant in choosing a bathroom faucet is also the type of sink where it will be installed. Based on the need for the tap and the structure of the plumbing, you can choose between single-hole and multiple-hole faucets. Popular faucet styles include:

Single-hole faucet: This bathroom faucet consists of a single hole for the spout and the handle. It can be placed on the sink or its counterpart. Swan neck and pillar taps by APL Apollo are the popular choices here.

Two-hole faucet: This faucet has separate handles for hot and cold water and a spout. The sink mixer is a typical example of such a faucet.

Three-hole faucet: Wall mixers that have separate handles for hot and cold water along with an additional accessory such as a bathroom tap or handheld shower require a three-hole faucet.

Four-hole faucets: For those looking to add multiple accessories to their bathroom, four-hole faucets are a good choice. However, they need to have a compatible sink for installation.


5. Handle options

Customers can also choose from different handle options, such as single-handle, double-handle, and touchless bathroom faucets. APL Apollo offers a range of choices for every sink. A single-handle bathroom tap such as the Continental Prime Pillar Tap in white is perfect for a smaller sink, while the Poise 2 Way Bib Tap with Flange in white and black adds an element of style along with functionality to the bathroom.


6. Finish and colour

The finish and colour of your bathroom faucet can significantly impact the overall look of your bathroom. APL Apollo provides a wide range of finish options, including white (Bloom, Classic, Continental, Quadro, and Grace Series), white and black (Edge, Flora, and Poise Series), silver (Coral, Royal, Fusion, and Elegance Series), and more. Whether you prefer a classic, shiny finish or a sober matte look, you can find the perfect faucet to match your bathroom's style.


7. Durability

APL Apollo’s bathroom faucets are made with high-quality Tuffplast and designed to guarantee hassle-free water supply with a stylish appeal. Unlike metal taps that are vulnerable to rust and corrosion, these bathroom taps can last for 15 to 20 years with minimal maintenance. Further, they are resistant to bacterial contamination and other toxins, making them a safe and hygienic water solution.


Conclusion

Choosing a bathroom faucet requires careful consideration. Everything from the material, colour, finish, and style will determine the ease of functionality as well as the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom.

APL Apollo's stylish range of plastic faucets is designed to meet the diverse needs and unique choices of consumers. From classic styles to modern designs, there is a range for every preference. With APL Apollo bathroom taps, you can enjoy high-performing and durable faucets in different designs to enhance the comfort of your daily life.
