What is the Phoenix Gloss Mk II range
Gloss Mk II is an established Phoenix tapware and shower range, spanning 46 products across taps and showers. It suits homeowners and trades who want to specify a single, consistent range across bathroom and kitchen fittings, from basin and kitchen taps through to shower components, without switching between different Phoenix collections.
Who this range suits
Because Gloss Mk II covers both taps and showers, it suits full bathroom renovations and new builds where matching tapware and shower hardware throughout is a priority. It also suits buyers replacing individual fittings who want a like for like match to existing Gloss Mk II products already installed in the home.
Buying considerations
Matching taps and showers
With 46 products spanning two categories, one of the main advantages of choosing within a single range is consistency of design across every tap and shower fitting in a bathroom or kitchen. When renovating multiple areas at once, working through the Gloss Mk II range for both taps and showers helps avoid subtle mismatches in handle style or spout design that can occur when mixing ranges.
Configuration and mounting
Taps and showers within the range are supplied in different configurations to suit different fixtures, such as basins, kitchen sinks, and shower systems, so check the specific product listing against where it will be installed. Confirm mounting type, whether deck mounted or wall mounted, matches your existing plumbing rough in or your renovation plan before ordering.
Water pressure and compatibility
As with any tapware or shower purchase, check the flow rate and minimum pressure requirements listed on each product against your home's water system, particularly for shower components. This is especially relevant in renovations where the existing plumbing setup may differ from what a new fitting expects.
Installation
Tap and shower installation should generally be carried out by a licensed plumber, particularly for shower systems that involve wall or ceiling connections. Basin and kitchen taps are sometimes replaced without a full plumbing job, but shower components typically require professional fitting to ensure a proper seal and correct pressure balance.
Why choose Gloss Mk II
As a larger, established range at 46 products, Gloss Mk II gives buyers the depth to specify an entire bathroom or kitchen from one consistent design line, from individual taps through to shower fittings, rather than piecing together fixtures from separate ranges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Gloss Mk II range cover both taps and showers
Yes, the range spans 46 products across both taps and showers, which makes it possible to specify matching tapware and shower hardware for the same bathroom or kitchen project. This is useful when consistency of design across every fitting in a room is a priority.
Can I match a new Gloss Mk II shower to an existing Gloss Mk II tap
In most cases yes, since products within the same named range are designed to share a consistent look. It is still worth checking individual product listings to confirm the exact finish and design details align with what you already have installed.
Do I need a plumber to install Gloss Mk II tapware
Shower components generally require installation by a licensed plumber to ensure correct pressure balance and a proper seal at wall or ceiling connections. Basin and kitchen taps can sometimes be replaced without a full plumbing job, but professional installation is recommended for best results.
How do I know if a Gloss Mk II tap will suit my water pressure
Check the flow rate and minimum pressure requirements listed on the specific product against your home's water system. This is particularly important for shower fittings, where pressure compatibility affects performance.
What is the difference between deck mounted and wall mounted options in this range
Deck mounted taps sit directly on the basin, bath, or benchtop, while wall mounted options are fitted into the wall above or behind the fixture. Which one suits your project depends on your existing plumbing rough in or the layout planned for a new build, so check this against the specific product listing.
