I am about to fit a new (compact) bath in what is currently just a shower room (cubicle is going in favour of over-bath shower). I have recently installed a DPS GXV Heat Bank that gives me lashings of lovely mains pressure hot water.
Vitra Rialto: 1700 x 750(head)/500(foot)
The fat end is the head and shower end and the thin end is the foot end. To avoid smacking my head on the bath taps when enjoying a nice soak I want to mount them at the foot end but as you can see there isn't a huge amount of space to do this. My preferred option would be to use a monobloc filler but I can't find any 3/4" versions in a traditional style (only modern). Anyone?
Does anyone know how much slower a 1/2" "basin" mixer would be at filling the bath over a 3/4" mixer?
Would separate H/C bath taps be quicker than an equivalent sized mixer anyway (two outlets instead of combined)?
My other option is to just fit independent bath taps but this would probably mean one in each corner at the foot end - or do those of you with experience think from the picture and dimensions given that I could get 2 taps in one corner? What about a pillar mixer tap in 1 corner (I like the look of these!)? I guess I can only really tell when I have the bath and have looked at some taps but I just wanted some heads-up if possible.
Cheers all
