Factors to consider while buying bathroom taps 

Water pressure

 Depending on the kind of tap you choose, make sure to also check out on the pressure flow that emanates from the tap. For instance bathroom taps such as models require higher water pressure to perform optimally. It is usually preferably to have water flow between 2.2 gpm to 1.5 gpm (gallons per minute) to get the best results.

Style and design 

The whole faucet has to blend with the style and décor of the bathroom. Otherwise bathroom taps can look out of place and ruin the look of the entire place. There are a lot of taps that are classy and can easily blend well into most bathrooms that follow universal style settings.

Finishes 

Finishes to bathroom taps can add that extra touch of glamour. Finishes can be in the form of brass, steel, chrome or even gold plated. To a large extent these factors are down to personal taste and hence choose appropriately. While cleaning make sure not use abrasive compounds which can ruin the finish on your bathroom taps. Instead soap water with a soft cloth can act as the perfect antidote to help protect their shine.

Employ the start stop technique to regulate the flow of urine while peeing. Hold until a count of five seconds and release the flow.
