Cersanit taps in matching finishes: from basin to bath and shower

Why this brand · Cersanit #3 · The brands Saniso stocks, and why  

Cersanit taps come in complete lines, so the basin tap, the bath tap and the shower tap can share one shape and one finish. In this third Cersanit edition of our series Why this brand we look only at the taps: the ZEN, Virgo, LARGA, Luna and INVERTO lines, the finishes they come in, and how you keep one finish from the basin to the shower. Basins, bathroom furniture and the ZEN shower sets were the subject of our second edition, so here they get one link.

Why choose Cersanit taps in one matching finish?

A bathroom has more taps than you might think: one at the basin, one at the bath or shower, sometimes one at a bidet or a second basin. Cersanit designs its taps as collections. ZEN by Cersanit has soft, harmonious lines with a modern detail, Virgo a slender form and balanced proportions, LARGA a geometric design with clear-cut edges, and Luna by Cersanit soft, rounded lines. Within one line you find the basin tap, the bath/shower tap and often the bidet tap in the same finish, so shape and colour stay the same all around the room. The product pages say it themselves: the finish is chosen so the tap is easy to match with other fittings and accessories.

Which Cersanit tap lines and finishes can you find at Saniso?

The Cersanit brand page at Saniso lists taps from several lines. The table shows the character of each line as described on its product pages, the finishes we found in the range, and where this article shows a priced example. Taps without a confirmed price or on backorder appear as a plain link.

What are the strengths and opportunities of Cersanit taps? (a positive SWOT)

We wrote this SWOT for the person choosing taps for a bathroom: what the Cersanit tap lines do well, where they open doors for you, where they fit best and why we stock them.

Deck-mounted, concealed or wall-mounted: which Cersanit tap goes where?

A deck-mounted tap stands on the basin or the countertop, in the tap hole. A concealed tap has its built-in part, the box, inside the wall, so only the spout and the handle stay visible and the basin top stays free. A wall-mounted bath/shower tap sits on the wall, on the hot and cold supply, and a multi-hole bath tap is mounted on the bath rim. Choose the mounting type first, then the line and the finish. A concealed tap is something you plan before the wall is closed and tiled. Replacing an exposed shower tap yourself? Our guide on connecting a new shower tap takes you through it step by step.

Which Cersanit basin taps are there?

For the basin, ZEN by Cersanit has a deck-mounted tap and a concealed tap with box, both in matt gold and both priced today. Virgo also has a concealed basin tap with box, here as the Virgo concealed basin tap in brushed gold. Prefer chrome? The Luna by Cersanit deck-mounted basin tap in chrome brings Luna's soft, rounded lines. The INVERTO by Cersanit concealed basin tap comes with an extra handle in matt black, so you choose the look yourself. According to their product pages, the INVERTO tap and the LARGA deck-mounted basin tap in matt gold have the Cersanit Water Save aerator, which limits the flow to 6 l/min.

Which Cersanit bath and shower taps are there?

At the bath, a bath/shower tap fills the tub and feeds the hand shower. ZEN and Virgo both have a thermostatic wall-mounted version, and LARGA has a concealed bath/shower tap with box in black. For a tap on the bath rim, look at the Virgo multi-hole bath tap in black; for warm copper tones, the Luna by Cersanit bath/shower tap in brushed copper. Need a shower set or a shower column in the same finish? Those are in our second Cersanit edition on Cersanit basins, bathroom furniture and showers.

How do you keep one finish from basin to shower?

• Choose the finish first (chrome, black, matt gold, brushed gold or brushed copper), then look within one line.
• Matt gold (ZEN, LARGA) and brushed gold (Virgo) are listed as two separate finishes; for a calm look, keep one of them per room.
• Keep the basin tap and the bath/shower tap in the same line, so the shapes match as well as the colour.
• Match the flush plate and accessories to the tap finish, as our overview Cersanit at Saniso also suggests.
• Keep your taps flowing well: our guide on descaling a tap and cleaning the aerator shows how.

What should you check before you order a Cersanit tap?

• Deck-mounted basin tap: check that your basin or countertop has a tap hole.
• Concealed tap: the box goes into the wall, so plan it before tiling.
• Thermostatic or not: a thermostatic bath/shower tap keeps the water temperature steady.
• Check the exact finish name and article number on the product page, for example S1001-157.
• Curious how a tap works inside, from washer to ceramic cartridge? Read the history of the tap and running water.
