Phoenix Cromford Buying Guide


Sourcing a bathroom's fittings from within a single named range is the most reliable way to keep a finish consistent throughout the room, and Cromford's genuine breadth, spanning taps, showers, heating and accessories, makes that possible without piecing the look together from separate collections.

Choosing tapware

Cromford's tap range spans basin mixers, tall basin mixers, wall basin/bath mixer sets, basin/bath spouts, shower and bath mixers, sink mixers and pull-out sink mixers, alongside classic three-piece basin, sink and wall basin/bath sets for a more traditional configuration. A pot filler rounds out the range for a kitchen wanting a wall-mounted tap over the cooktop.

Choosing a shower

Ceiling showers, hand showers and rail showers cover the genuine range of shower configurations within Cromford, letting the same finish extend from the tap through to the shower itself.

Choosing accessories and heating

Bathroom shelves, hand towel holders, double towel rails and 240V heated towel rails complete the Cromford range, giving genuine scope to coordinate every fixture in the room, from tapware through to daily-use accessories.

Choosing a finish

This collection spans black, bronze, brushed nickel, chrome and gold, giving genuine flexibility to match Cromford across a bathroom's tapware, showers and accessories in one consistent tone.

Completing the room

Phoenix Cromford is easiest to plan as a full room rather than piece by piece, since the range's design consistency is strongest when tapware, shower and accessories are all sourced together. The Blue Space's Phoenix Taps and Phoenix Showers collections are worth reviewing alongside a Cromford selection to see the full breadth of the range.

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.
