Frequently Asked Questions

When specifying products for public environments, it’s important to prioritise durability, vandal-resistance and long-term reliability. You should also consider hygiene performance, water efficiency, accessibility compliance and ease of maintenance to ensure the facility remains safe, functional and cost-effective over its lifecycle.

Outdoor and coastal environments demand materials that can withstand harsh exposure. Stainless steel, solid brass and corrosion-resistant finishes help protect against UV, salt spray, humidity and temperature fluctuations, ensuring fixtures remain reliable and visually appealing for longer.

Vandal resistant designs include tamper-resistant screws, heavy-duty handles, and sensor-operated controls. These features reduce the risk of damage, misuse, or theft while maintaining smooth operation for users.

Tapware and fixtures need to comply with relevant accessibility standards, offering easy operation, clear visibility, and ergonomic design. Lever-style handles, sensor activation, and correctly positioned fixtures all help create inclusive, compliant spaces.

Using features like sensor-activated taps, flow regulators, and aerated outlets can significantly reduce water use. These solutions ensure water is only used when needed, helping high-traffic facilities lower consumption, cut costs, and support sustainability goals.
