The Phoenix Builders Range is Phoenix Tapware's project-focused tapware collection, built for new builds, renovations and rental properties where reliable quality at accessible pricing matters more than design-led detailing. It brings together three sub-ranges, Pina, Arlo and Teva, under one builders-tap positioning.

What the Builders Range is designed for

Where Phoenix's premium collections are built around a specific design language for owner-occupier renovations, the Builders Range is priced and specified for volume use, project builds, multi-unit developments and rental properties where a builder or developer needs dependable tapware across many bathrooms and kitchens without the cost of a fully designer range. It still carries Phoenix's manufacturing standards and WELS water efficiency ratings, so builders aren't trading away compliance or performance to hit a project budget.

The three ranges inside the Builders Range

Pina covers sink mixers and vessel mixers, giving kitchen and above-counter basin applications a simple, clean-lined option. Arlo spans sink, basin and vessel mixers along with shower and wall mixers, making it the broadest of the three sub-ranges and the one most likely to cover an entire bathroom or kitchen on its own. Teva is focused on shower and wall mixers specifically, suited to projects that need a straightforward shower solution without a matching basin or sink mixer in the same range.

Looking for Arlo product details?

Because Arlo is the largest and most frequently specified of the three ranges, full product listings, finishes and individual mixer details for Arlo are covered on the dedicated Phoenix Arlo collection. This page is intended as the overview of the Builders Range as a whole, so if you already know you want Arlo tapware, that collection is the faster path to the specific mixer you need.

Choosing tapware for a build or renovation project

For builders and developers working across multiple properties, standardising on one range like the Builders Range simplifies ordering, keeps finishes consistent across units, and avoids the lead times that can come with mixing multiple premium collections on one job. It's a practical starting point for anyone renovating on a budget or fitting out a rental where long-term reliability matters more than a statement design piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which basin mixer is right for my basin type?

The key factor is the height and style of your basin. For standard inset or semi-recessed basins, a regular deck-mounted basin mixer with a spout height of around 100–140mm works well. However, if you have an above-counter or vessel basin, where the bowl sits on top of the benchtop, you will need a tall basin mixer with a spout height of 180mm or more, otherwise the spout will sit below the basin rim and water will splash onto the benchtop. Wall-mounted mixers offer another option for above-counter basins, with the height controlled by your rough-in position. Always confirm basin rim height before purchasing your tapware.

What is the difference between a bath mixer and a basin mixer?

While bath mixers and basin mixers may look similar, they are not interchangeable. The key technical difference is the water supply connection size. This difference matters because filling a bathtub requires a significantly higher flow rate, a basin mixer simply cannot deliver water fast enough to fill a bath in a reasonable time. Always use tapware specified for bath applications when fitting out a bath, and consult your plumber if you are unsure.

What is a shower mixer and how does it work?

A shower mixer (or shower tap) is the control valve that regulates the flow and temperature of water to your shower. A single-lever mixer controls both temperature and flow with one handle. A thermostatic mixer maintains a pre-set water temperature even if pressure changes elsewhere in the system, a safer and more convenient option, particularly for households with children. Shower mixers in Australia must comply with AS 3718 standards.

What types of bath taps are available in Australia?

Wall-mounted bath mixers and spouts are fixed to the wall above or beside the bath, they create a clean, uncluttered look and suit most built-in and back-to-wall bath styles. Hob-mounted (deck-mounted) bath taps sit on the rim or surrounding ledge of the bath. Freestanding floor-mounted bath mixers are a statement option for freestanding baths, the tapware stands independently on the floor beside or behind the bath and is supplied through plumbing brought up through the floor. Finally, over-bath shower systems combine a bath filler spout with an integrated shower, offering versatility in smaller bathrooms.
