Phoenix Expands Designer Sink Mixer Collection

The team at Phoenix Tapware have expanded their Designer Sink Mixer collection with four brand new designs. The new additions are specially designed to meet the needs of any household and include Deja, Linq, Ester, and Erlen.

Deja Pull Out Sink Mixer

Designed in Australia, Deja features a dual function, pull out hand piece with different sprays for ultimate functionality. The 220mm swivel spout enhances its functionality, making cleaning your sink or preparing food a breeze! Deja is available in matte black, brushed nickel, and chrome, and will certainly suit any contemporary home.

Linq Pull Out Sink Mixer

For all you outdoor entertainers, Linq is the sink mixer for you. Constructed out of 316 marine-grade stainless steel, Linq features a lifetime warranty on the finish and ensures ultimate durability against the elements. Linq also has a dual function, pull out hand piece with a switch to alternate between functions. Its timeless silhouette delivers a beautiful soft, organic feel to the mixer, making it perfect for any space both inside and out.

Ester Sink Mixer

With its seamless fusion of geometric design with a delicately curved lever, Ester is a chic squareline sink mixer perfect for any contemporary home. Ester also features energy saving Cold Start cartridge technology, which allows only cold water to be delivered when the tap is operated from the traditional mid-lever position. Meaning that hot water only flows if the handle is moved to the left hot position, ultimately saving energy by avoiding the unnecessary heating of water. She’s gorgeous and she’s efficient!

Erlen Sink Mixer

Much like Ester, the Erlen sink mixer features a soft, squareline profile fit for a minimalist aesthetic. Its sleek appearance is enhanced by the recessed aerator, while functionality comes to the fore with the 200mm swivel spout. Erlen is currently available in chrome, matte black, and brushed nickel, with two more finishes due to be added to the collection. Watch this space!

5 Products We're Loving Right Now

As loyal followers and all-round GT&B Lovers, you would know that we’re always on the lookout for new and exciting products to bring you. That’s why we thought we’d take you through some of our current favourites, both new and timeless. Strap yourselves in because you just might find yourselves driving towards Newtown in no time.

Moroccan Tile Panels

We’ve always had a deep love for Moroccan Zellige and Bejmat tiles, but recently, we were introduced to another level of Moroccan tile royalty: Moroccan panels. When we tell you, our jaws hit the floor, they seriously could have caused an earthquake! No exaggeration.

Made entirely by hand, each piece is meticulously glazed, hand-chipped and pre-assembled with an epoxy resin for quick and easy installation. The result you’re left with is an incredible patterned panel with all the texture, variation, and colour you could ask for. Moroccan tile panels are perfect for use on kitchen splashbacks, counters, bathroom floors, walls, or hearths.

Sustainable Grout

Unlike most cement-based grouts on the market, Fugabella Color by Kerakoll is made using a resin-cement. This means it has a lower absorption rate and achieves other performance characteristics such as high surface hardness and high resistance to the most common acidic substances. The resin component also helps eliminate the risk of efflorescence, shading, and provides long-term colour stability.  

Formulated using a new mix of pure and natural binders, Fugabella is green building certified and features a very low volatile organic compound (VOC) content, which is safe for people’s health and in-turn has a lower environmental impact. Available in 50 impressive and decorative colours, Fugabella Color is the grout you need in your life.

Parquetry Flooring

We can’t help but fall deeper and deeper in love with parquetry every time one of our awesome clients select it for their project. Parquetry flooring achieves a timeless aesthetic with every application and will create a beautiful canvas for your furniture and interior furnishings to sing.

What we love most about parquetry flooring is its versatility – especially in porcelain form. Available in classic patterns and contemporary colours, parquetry-look porcelain tiles allow you to bring that style into wet areas and, in some cases, externally for a seamless and continuous look throughout your home.

Japanese Mosaics

Our new range of Japanese mosaics are full of history and character. The range, Mino, is named after the city they are manufactured. Mino is located within the Gifu prefecture, which has a long history of producing and innovating fine porcelain products.

A contemporary celebration of the manufacturing traditions and practices of this prefecture, our Japanese Mino mosaics are the perfect solution for anyone seeking an organic aesthetic in their home. In all honesty, they’ve made us want to tile every single surface of our own homes, they’re that perfect. Available in two distinctive styles – Linen and Crosshatch – and four colours each.  

Vilo Sink Mixers

The Vilo Pull-Out Mixer, a true icon of the sink mixer realm, has new friends! And they’re glorious. Just launched by Oliveri, the Italian-made Vilo now comes in an additional four colours: Gold, Gunmetal, Natural Brass, and Satin Chrome & White.

Now more versatile than ever, these sink mixers will complement many different styles and colour schemes. We personally love the height of the Vilo and think it will make the perfect statement in your kitchen, pantry, or laundry space.

Creating the Heart of the Home

One of the greatest pleasures working at a store like GT&B is being part of the process in creating incredible spaces in people’s homes. We are so spoilt for choice these days that we can create many different and unique rooms. And for us, one of the most rewarding spaces in the home to create is the kitchen.

This year we have seen some fabulous creations by many talented designers and builders from our region. Our customers are daring to be different, and these risks are truly paying off. With the thousands of products we have on display, our design team is loving working closely on these projects, bringing together all the elements to create an amazing kitchen tailored to each individual style.

If you are in the market for tapware and sinks, you may know that it’s all about colour. Granite sinks are growing in popularity and black and white variations are leading the way. These are often paired with brushed brass and, more recently, matte white tapware. In saying that, matte black sinks and tapware are still here to stay and are often used in both modern and period style homes.

Not only are the fixtures and fittings important when designing a kitchen, choosing your floor covering is just as important. The kitchen is the centre of most homes where the living, dining, and entry ways all lead to, and one of the most popular coverings we see customers using is engineered timber flooring. Our European Oak flooring range has been a stand-out collection for our clients’ main living and kitchen areas. With a wide variety of colours, it really is the go-to product for most homes.

As for the kitchen splashback? Marble has been the tile of choice this season. Hues of green, pink, orange, nero, Atlantic grey, and New York marble options are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes. From popsicle shapes to broken shards of marble, the options are endless. What’s better, you aren’t limited to their application either. Think outside the box and tile your rangehood, counter-top, under-bench, or feature wall for a dramatic showpiece.  

Second to the marble mosaic is the classic subway tile. Ever-evolving, this product keeps re-emerging in new size formats and spectacular colours and textures. Many ranges have high variation in colour which adds a raw and rustic look and translates into a relaxed and natural feel.

So, if you are currently creating your dream kitchen, identify your style and have our design team help you bring this vision to life. We love helping clients realise their dreams, so now is the time to create a memorable and beautiful kitchen you can enjoy with friends and family (when we’re all allowed to!).
