Furnishing the bathroom requires special care when choosing even the less important accessories. It would be wrong to think that once you have chosen the best sanitaryware, you are done with the planning, or that you 'let yourself go' before completing the bathroom design with matching taps. A fundamental and decisive measure to guarantee ease of use of the washbasin for bathroom users is the height at which the wall-mounted tap must be installed.
How should a washbasin without a tap hole be equipped?
The washbasin is one of the most important items of bathroom furniture and there are many different types on the market. In addition to single-hole and three-hole washbasins, which are prepared for corresponding mixer taps or taps with separate controls, there are also those that have no tap hole at all. As a rule, these are countertop washbasins, which are particularly appreciated for their clean lines and exclusive design.
This kind of washbasin requires wall-mounted taps or taps placed directly on the worktop. When wall-mounted, it is of course important to choose a height that offers users maximum comfort and at the same time protects the bathroom from unpleasant water splashes.
As already mentioned, the smallest details can make all the difference, especially when it comes to functionality and convenience. The height of the tap on the wall is often overlooked, even though it has a huge impact on the look and usability of the bathroom.
At what height should wall-mounted taps be installed?
How do you calculate the ideal height for installing a wall-mounted tap for washbasins? This kind of tap is highly appreciated for its elegance and the possibility of saving space on the edge of the washbasin itself. They are mounted directly on the vertical wall behind the washbasin and ensure a clean appearance. However, when installing a wall-mounted tap, it is important to consider the ideal height to ensure comfortable and practical use.
As a rule, the wall-mounted tap should be installed at a height of 10/12 centimetres from the top edge of the washbasin. This precaution ensures that the water jet falls vertically onto the sink drain, preventing splashes and enabling effective use of the washbasin. This measurement is particularly valuable for small washbasins or for minimalist and uncluttered bathrooms.
