‘The details are not the details. They make the design.’
Charles Eames’ famous statement endures, and nowhere is this more true than in home renovations. It’s the smaller elements, such as light shades, cabinet knobs and drapes, that can truly bring a room to life.
Beautiful tapware gives any bathroom the finishing touch to set it apart. Whether it’s rustic or classical, industrial or sleek and modern, Water Monopoly and Perrin & Rowe’s diverse range of fittings, available in a wide variety of finishes, will take your bathroom to the next level.
Classical Basin Taps
The Perrin & Rowe Classical Collection provides a timeless look. With options including three-hole, wall-mounted, monobloc or pillar, country or low spout there’s a tap to fit in with every style bathroom. These taps are available with crossheads or levers and in a range of finishes – chrome, nickel, pewter and gold. They can also be ordered in polished and satin uncoated bare brass.

Hand Showers
Being height adjustable, hand showers on an adjustable sliding rail provide for tall adults and short children and allow you to shower while keeping your hair dry. They will also aid in shaving your legs by allowing you to direct water to where it is most needed. A hand shower is a boon when cleaning the shower, easily rinsing off the walls and floor.

Overhead Roses
Overhead rain-showers are the ultimate luxury in a home, delivering a decadent, soothing shower experience. Perrin & Rowe offer shower roses from 130 to 310mm in diameter, with 200mm being the most popular.

Exposed Pipework
Showers sets based on an exposed riser-pipe are a classical fixture that can provide a statement feature within your bathroom. We recommend where possible installing these showers perpendicular to the shower door, so taps are easy to reach from outside the shower enclosure and you can avoid reaching through the falling water.

Shower Mixers
Because our preferences vary, we have a range of shower mixer combinations. Our single lever shower mixer is the easiest to use as water is mixed by rotation of the lever. Perrin & Rowe single lever shower mixers are fitted with a pressure balancing cartridge which automatically adjusts the incoming hot or cold-water flow to avoid scalding and freezing if taps or appliances are turned on and off elsewhere in the house.

Handle Ergonomics - Crossheads or Levers
Perrin & Rowe taps suit both traditional and modern bathrooms; with a selection of crosshead and lever handle options and a full range of finishes you are spoilt for choice. Modern technology now makes it easier to operate a set of taps. We’ve all struggled to turn on and off some old taps! Our Perrin & Rowe lever and crosshead taps are fitted with German made high-quality, quarter-turn ceramic disc valves. Little to no strength is required to turn them on for an effortless experience.
Metal Finishes
Your preferred finish for your tapware and accessories will depend on the ultimate look you are after.
The Chrome finish is the hardest and most durable finish. Polished Nickel, Pewter (Brushed Nickel), Satin Brass and Polished Brass are all ‘living finishes’ and develop an aged patina after a period of time. For a luxurious option, consider the Perrin & Rowe Gold finish made using real 24 carat gold which will not tarnish but requires careful cleaning.
Ceramic Finishes
In addition to Perrin & Rowe's timeless black and white porcelain finishes, Rockwell offers a wide variety of vibrant ceramic colours. Rockwell handles, bath feet and basin stand feet are available in all the ceramic colours: Powder Blue, Ink Gloss Black, Bonbon Lilac, Willow Green, Squash Orange, Sherbet Yellow, Snowdrop White and Seattle Grey, whilst the basins, toilets and baths are available in Snowdrop White, Willow Green, Powder Blue and Sherbet Yellow.
Durability - Engineering & Craftsmanship
Perrin & Rowe taps have a world-wide reputation for original designs which are perfectly balanced in form and function. The hand of the maker is apparent in the attention to detail and finish of each tap which is fully assembled and tested before leaving the Perrin & Rowe factory in England.
All components are machined or cast from solid brass in their own dedicated factories in England, hand polished, electroplated with a coating well in excess of the Australasian Standards requirement, and then carefully assembled and pressure tested to ensure an exquisite result.
