Durability of Sensor Motion Taps

The automatic sensor taps are made of either stainless steel or brass, both materials boast excellent durability and tolerance to rusting and oxidation. Brass fixtures require regular maintenance to prevent tarnishing and maintain their appearance. While routine cleaning with a mild detergent and soft cloth is usually sufficient, occasional polishing may be necessary to restore shine. The metal is also known for its sustainability and can be recycled and repurposed which adds to its eco-friendliness. The antimicrobial properties prevent bacterial spread, making water safe and cleaner for consumption.

A stainless-steel sensor tap preserves integrity even with exposure to harsh chemicals and hard water, making it suitable for demanding environments like your kitchens and bathrooms. This range offers a sleek and modern aesthetic characterised by clean lines, minimalist profiles, and a reflective finish. With a non-porous surface, these taps are easy to clean and maintain and are known to strongly resist bacterial growth and staining, requiring only routine cleaning which makes them ideal for everyday use.

WRAS Approval and Compliance

Our brushed brass sensor taps are WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved, meaning they meet the strict regulations for water safety and quality. WRAS certification ensures that the materials used in the tap do not contaminate water supplies and that the product meets the highest industry standards.

Functionality and Features

The design of the gold touchless taps is completed with sophisticated sensor technology, which operates on principles of infrared, ultrasonic, or capacitive sensing. The sensors are strategically positioned within the tap to detect motion within a specified range and activate water flow when needed, automatically shutting off after a predetermined period of inactivity. These taps can be turned on or off powered by batteries or electricity, where battery-operated taps offer flexibility in installation and maintenance without additional wire work, while electric taps may require access to a power source but offer continuous operation without the need for battery replacement. For maximum comfort in usage, the taps we offer can be connected both via mains and batteries, providing an alternative for every possible complication.

The deck and wall mounted sensor tap selection enhances hygiene by eliminating the need for physical contact, minimising the spread of germs and bacteria in frequently visited spaces like your bathrooms. Added benefits include water conservation where these taps disperse water only with detected motion and automatically shut off in the absence of movement. The automatic shut-off feature ensures that water is not left running unnecessarily, conserving valuable resources and enabling lower utility costs.

Deck Mounted Taps Versus Wall Mounted Taps

The choice between wall mounted and deck mounted sensor taps depends on several factors, including aesthetic preferences, space constraints, and practical considerations.

Deck Mounted Taps: Installation for deck taps is more straightforward as it requires direct mounting on the surface of the basin through pre-drilled holes. With flexibility in placement and configuration, these taps are easy to clean and maintain as they are installed above the surface, and access to the tap and plumbing connections is readily available, simplifying routine maintenance tasks such as cleaning and repairs.

Wall Mounted Taps: Requiring proper positioning of the tap and plumbing connections within the wall makes the installation procedure more complex for wall mounted sensor taps. Serving as excellent alternatives for small bathrooms, this design frees up valuable space on the deck or countertop and allows ample clearance to complete tasks in a more manageable manner. The design also offers a clean aesthetic with the tap spout that directly protrudes from the wall and can be customised at a preferred height.

Sensor taps are designed without handles and rather feature a sleek, streamlined spout that elongates from the wall and deck surface. By eliminating the design of traditional handles, these taps breeze a compact look without clutter while making installation easy, requiring fewer components and connections. This simplifies the installation process and reduces the need for complex plumbing work, making the assortment a practical choice for both residential and commercial spaces.

Elegance With Brushed Finish and Spout Structures

These sensor taps come with a durable build further strengthened by the stunning brushed finish. Providing a subtle texture, the finish provides fine parallel lines or patterns that run in the direction of a brushing motion. The textured, grainy appearance increases durability by concealing fingerprints and stains and requires less maintenance as compared to shiny, polished finishes. Brushed finishes are relatively easy to maintain where routine maintenance typically involves wiping the surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt and stains. For more stubborn marks, a gentle abrasive cleaner may be used without damaging the finish.

An advanced ceramic disc technology powers each of the automatic sensor taps to function without unwanted leaks and drips. This property drastically enhances the way water is controlled and delivered, featuring two ceramic discs that are precision-engineered to fit together with exceptional accuracy. When the tap is turned on, these discs move relative to each other, either aligning to allow water to flow or rotating to shut off the flow completely. It allows precise control and allows users to adjust the settings with ease and accuracy. The smooth, frictionless operation of the discs ensures a consistent and controlled flow of water, eliminating drips, leaks, or sudden temperature changes.

Hygiene and Water Efficiency

Sensor taps significantly improve hygiene by eliminating the need for physical contact, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Traditional taps require users to touch the handle before and after washing their hands, which can spread bacteria and viruses, especially in public or shared washrooms. In contrast, motion sensor taps activate only when needed, ensuring a cleaner and safer handwashing experience.

Water efficiency is achieved through automatic shut-off technology, preventing unnecessary water flow. Unlike manual taps, which can be left running accidentally, touchless taps dispense water only when a user’s hands are detected and stop immediately after use. These infrared taps models are also equipped with flow rate limiters, which regulate water output to an optimal level, typically between 3-6 litres per minute, depending on the model and setting. This results in significant water savings, making sensor taps a sustainable choice for both homes and commercial properties.

Installation and Maintenance

These sensor bathroom taps are designed for easy installation and low maintenance. They are available in both mains-powered and battery-operated models, offering flexibility for different washroom setups. Thanks to their robust construction, these taps require minimal upkeep, making them a reliable choice for both home and commercial use.

Variety of Styles and Features

These motion sensor taps are available in a range of styles, including wall-mounted and deck-mounted options, to suit different basin designs. Whether for a contemporary bathroom or a commercial washroom, there is a suitable design for every need.

Sustainability and Cost Savings

Sensor taps contribute to sustainability efforts by reducing water consumption, which is beneficial for both the environment and long-term cost savings. By delivering water only when needed, these taps help lower utility bills and support eco-friendly initiatives in homes and businesses.
