Fienza Empire Slim Range

What is the Fienza Empire Slim range?

Fienza Empire Slim is a slimline tapware collection from Fienza, built around a narrow spout and lever profile that suits smaller basins, tight benchtops, and bathrooms where a bulkier mixer would look out of place. The range covers basin mixers, bath mixers, shower mixers, and sink mixers, so you can run the same design language from the ensuite through to the kitchen if you want a consistent look across the whole house.

It's a practical pick for renovators who like a slim, low-profile tap but don't want to hunt through several different brands to match finishes across rooms. Because the range is broad, there's usually a configuration that fits whether you're doing a full bathroom fit-out or just replacing one tap.

Choosing the right Empire Slim tap for your space

Start with where the tap is going. A basin mixer for a powder room needs a shorter reach than one sitting behind a large vanity basin, and a bath mixer or wall-mounted set will have different spout lengths depending on whether your bath sits against a wall or is freestanding. Shower mixers in the range are built for standard shower configurations, so check your existing wall rough-in or pipe centres before ordering if you're doing a like-for-like swap.

Finish options

Slimline tapware is often chosen specifically because it disappears into a scheme rather than dominating it, and the Empire Slim range gives you room to do that in either direction. Chrome remains the safest option for resale and works with almost any benchtop or tile colour. Matte black has become the standard choice for a more contemporary bathroom, particularly paired with black tapware elsewhere in the room. Brushed nickel and brushed gold finishes suit warmer colour palettes and are common in renovations that lean toward a softer, more traditional look. Whichever finish you land on, try to match it across the basin, shower, and bath mixer in a room so the hardware reads as one decision rather than three separate purchases.

Mixer type and handle style

Most of the range uses a single lever handle, which is easier to operate one-handed and simpler to keep clean than older two-handle setups. Basin mixers typically come with a shorter spout suited to vanity basins, while sink mixers for kitchens and laundries usually have a longer reach to clear a deeper bowl. If you're fitting out a rental or a bathroom that gets heavy daily use, the lever format is generally the more durable and low-maintenance choice.

Where Empire Slim tapware is used

This range suits ensuites, main bathrooms, powder rooms, and ancillary spaces like laundries, anywhere a slim profile matters more than a statement design. It's also a sensible option for multi-bathroom homes and small apartment renovations where matching tapware across several rooms without blowing the budget is the priority. Because the range spans basin, bath, shower, and sink mixers, you can specify everything from one collection and know the finishes will line up when the plumber installs them side by side.

Installation and compatibility notes

As with most tapware, confirm your existing tap holes and wall rough-in before ordering a replacement. Basin mixers are generally single-hole fit for most Australian vanities, while wall-mounted shower and bath mixers need to match the existing pipe centres unless you're doing new plumbing. If you're unsure, a licensed plumber can check compatibility in a few minutes before you commit to a finish.
