Discovering Your Ideal Mixer Tap
Selecting the perfect mixer tap goes beyond aesthetics; it requires a deep consideration of functionality, installation type, and intended use. Our collections offer a variety of mechanism and design options to suit any project.
Types of Mixer Taps by Installation and Function
The versatility of the mixer tap makes it suitable for almost any application. We categorise our mixer taps based on where and how they will be used.
1. Basin Mixer Taps
The most common fitting in the bathroom, our basin mixer taps come in designs ranging from sleek, contemporary cylinders to more angular, architectural profiles.
- Standard Basin Mixers: Compact and elegant, ideal for single-hole basins and tight spaces.
- Tall Basin Mixers: Designed to pair perfectly with above-counter basins (vessel sinks), providing necessary clearance and creating a statement look.
- Wall Basin Mixers: These wall-mounted sets free up bench space for a minimalist, uncluttered bathroom design. They often use a separate spout and lever plate, which must be plumbed into the wall.
2. Sink Mixer Taps
The sink mixer tap in the kitchen is arguably the hardest working fixture in the home. It needs superior clearance, robust mechanisms, and versatile function.
- Standard Sink Mixers: Reliable, simple designs available with varying spout heights (e.g., curved or square necks) to suit different bowl depths.
- Pull Out Mixers: Highly practical kitchen mixer taps featuring an extendable hose and spray head, essential for rinsing large trays, washing vegetables, and cleaning the corners of double-bowl sinks.
- Pull Down Mixers: Offer a professional, high-clearance design with a detachable spray nozzle that locks securely back into the tap neck.
- Gooseneck Mixers: Instantly recognisable by their tall, curved shape, providing maximum clearance for filling large pots or buckets.
3. Wall Mixer Taps
The wall mixer tap offers a clean, streamlined look, removing clutter from the benchtop or ledge. They are popular across the entire home.
- Wall Mixers for Showers: Often paired with a shower rail or overhead shower rose, they feature a simple, stylish faceplate with a single lever for temperature control.
- Wall Mixers for Baths: Installed above a freestanding or built-in bath, sometimes featuring a diverter to switch water flow between the spout and a hand shower.
- Wall Mixers with Spouts: Used over basins or sinks where a minimal aesthetic is desired, creating a modern, floating effect.
Faucet Strommen’s Commitment to Quality
When you choose a Faucet Strommen mixer tap, you are choosing a product designed and manufactured under the strictest quality controls here in Australia, guaranteeing a fitting that lasts.
Superior Materials and Craftsmanship
For over a quarter of a century, we have honed the craft of making premium fittings. Our makers take immense pride in their work, ensuring every mixer tap is manufactured to the highest standards.
UltraBrass: The Health-Conscious Choice
We utilise a proprietary material called UltraBrass, a special lead-free copper alloy. While Australian compliance standards allow for small amounts of lead in standard brass, we stepped ahead to ensure your utmost safety and health. All components that contact drinking water are produced from this non-toxic, high-performance material.
Rock-Solid Mounting Systems
Our mixer taps are built with rock-solid mounting systems. This commitment to robust internal engineering ensures stability and longevity, guaranteeing that your mixer tap will stand the test of time, backed by our exceptional 40 year warranty on internal components.
The Finishing Touch: Designing with Colour
One of Faucet Strommen’s core advantages is the incredible design flexibility offered through our finishes. Our mixer taps are available in over 20 distinctive finishes, allowing you to create a truly unified and custom look across all rooms.

Compliance and Efficiency: WELS and Australian Standards
Choosing a quality mixer tap also means adhering to Australia’s essential water efficiency standards.
Understanding the WELS Rating
All taps sold in Australia, including our mixer taps, must comply with the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme. This mandatory government system rates products on a scale of one to six stars.
- Efficiency: The more stars a product has, the more water efficient it is. The WELS label also displays the flow rate in litres per minute (L/min).
- Savings: Installing WELS-compliant, high-star-rated mixer taps can significantly reduce your household utility bills by lowering water consumption and decreasing the energy required to heat the water.
- Compliance: Our entire range of WELS-regulated mixer taps is registered and labelled correctly, ensuring easy compliance for builders, plumbers, and homeowners.
