Basin Pillar Taps

What Is A Pillar Tap?

Pillar taps are typically considered to be traditional-style taps that have separate faucets for hot and cold water. This means you need a sink or basin with two tap holes. Having a pair of basin taps is very popular in the UK, as it was our national preference in the Victorian and Edwardian periods. Today many people opt for bathroom pillar taps to create a traditional style bathroom.

Pillar taps are particularly for houses with low water pressure, as otherwise you may end up with a tap that dispenses overly hot or cold water. With a separate tap for hot and cold water, it doesn’t matter if your hot and cold water pressure are different.
