Plated
Taps with a chrome or brushed nickel finish and a timeless look.
Chrome (CR)
A chrome tap looks elegant and refined. The finish is characterised by a sublime shine and ensures a clear, eye-catching accent in your kitchen, bathroom and toilet. Chrome combines well with other materials and provides vivid contrasts.
The timeless nature of its colour ensures it fits in with pretty much every style of interior. The finish is famously indestructible, and the tap keeps its exceptional appearance over time.
Brushed Nickel (GN)
Brushed nickel resembles stainless steel and has its own subtle, warm glow. The brushed finish is applied by hand, giving the tap a traditional artisan look. This finish looks equally good in a minimalist setting as well as in a space with rich details. By opting for brushed nickel, you are choosing a versatile tap with a luxurious appearance that fits into any location, like a chameleon.
Cobber varnished
Taps with a chrome or brushed nickel finish and a timeless look.
Matt White (WH)
A matt white tap is the definition of simplicity, beauty and serenity, beautiful in a minimalist, timeless or Nordic interior where all elements work in harmony. White ensures a fresh feel to the room. The taps and brackets merge into the bathroom or kitchen design but at the same time stand out because of their matt finish. Pure perfection and simplicity are beautifully combined in this exceptional look.
Matt Black (BL)
Matt black in three words? Stylish, luxurious, trendy. This popular finish is used in both minimalist spaces as well as in bathrooms and kitchens defined by trends and design. One thing is for sure: matt black taps set the tone and give a bathroom or kitchen the look of an elegant boutique hotel or five-star restaurant. Matt black can help you make a statement and give your interior a real boost.
Living colours
Polished Brass (NB)
Polished brass, or natural brass (NB), can simultaneously age gracefully while retaining its quality. This pure metallic finish has no surface protection and is naturally discoloured through external influences. It has a gold appearance and an alluring shine. Polished brass acquires its characteristic patina over the course of time. The finish adds a luxurious feel to your bathroom and really lifts the overall look of your kitchen. The finish can be cleaned and polished with silver or copper polish.
Brushed Brass (BB)
A brushed brass tap is a tap ‘with a touch of gold’. The brushed finish is applied by hand, giving the tap a traditional artisan look. The metal finish changes colour naturally, with an attractive and vivid result. Brushed brass has a luxurious appearance without being too ‘brassy’ if you’ll pardon the expression. The finish adds a certain calmness to the space and fully completes it. Use a silver or copper polish for cleaning the natural patina.
Brushed Copper (BC)
The brushed copper finish is an architectonic tour-de-force due to its subtle shine and warm colour. The metal finish changes under the influence of air and human contact, forming a unique patina. In this way, the tap acquires a ‘lived-in’ look, which only becomes more attractive as time goes on. Kitchen taps, bathroom taps, brackets and shower sets in brushed copper are the finishing touch of any space. The finish can be cleaned and polished with silver or copper polish.
Aged Brass (AB)
Aged brass is a class apart. The finish has a naturally aged look, achieved through the manner in which the material is worked. The ageing contributes to the allure of this colour and gives the tap a stunning appearance. Water, air, cleaning products and touching it all positively influence the material and only serve to make it even more beautiful. This finish has an industrially-applied irreversibly-aged patina which cannot be polished.
Colour plated
Taps with a colored finish for a spectacular result.
Aged Iron (AI)
Aged iron creates a subdued and modern atmosphere in your interior. The finish is an aesthetically pleasing choice, emphasizing the pure form of a tap. Aged iron has a matte look, but shines with simplicity and finesse. Due to its warm appearance, the faucet is an asset in every designer bathroom and open kitchen, where it's all about enjoying and relaxing.
Black Chrome (BK)
An alternative to dark finishes is black chrome: a bold color that fits both modern and classic bathrooms and kitchens. Unlike a matte black finish, black chrome has an attractive shine to it. All eyes are therefore focused on this finish. Whether you're looking for atmosphere or want to emphasize the beautiful shape of a faucet, this stunning finish will bring a new dynamic to your space.
PVD
Taps are finished with a special Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coating. This makes them even stronger and more scratch-resistant and ensures a perfect shine. This finish has a 10-year guarantee.
Polished Brass (NBP)
Polished brass PVD stands out from other finishes by its perfect shine, excellent scratch resistance and durability. It’s a robust finish with even greater resistance to cleaning agents, wear and tear, and limescale. The finish does not discolour and retains its original colour. Even after years of intensive use, the tap still has its wonderful shine and ‘touch of gold’.
Brushed Brass (BBP)
Have you fallen madly in love with the matt look of brushed brass? You don’t have to lose it if you choose the BBP finish or PVD brushed brass. Thanks to the special coating, a tap with this finish still looks like new after years of intensive use. It is a durable choice and a material that is not affected by metal corrosion, oxidation or scratches. In short, this is a finish that stands the test of time like no other tap and stays forever beautiful.
Brushed Copper (BCP)
The PVD Brushed Copper is an eye-catching tap with a lived-in look and an exceptional colour. Thanks to the PVD coating, you are buying a tap with an aged look which looks the same even after many years. Unlike brushed copper (without PVD), this finish does not naturally change colour. PVD brushed copper is a robust finish that can resist scratches, limescale deposits, wear and tear, corrosion and discolouration. It’s an excellent choice for rooms where atmosphere, luxury and design are central.
Brushed Black PVD (MBP) Brushed black faucets are tasteful and have a refined design. They are versatile and can be effortlessly combined with various interior styles. This makes them suitable for both modern-minimalist bathrooms and more traditional bathrooms.
Polished Black PVD (PBP)
The polished black finish is the counterpart to the brushed variant, adding unparalleled luxury to the bathroom. The polished surface reflects light, giving the space a radiant glow. Polished black highlights details and draws attention with its striking appearance.
Stainless steel 316
Stainless steel 316 (IX)
One alternative for brushed nickel is a tap made from stainless steel (RVS). Unlike other taps from Hotbath manufactured from brass, the Archie series is the only tap entirely made from high-quality stainless steel 316. This is rust-free stainless steel of the best quality and is extremely resistant to moisture, dirt and high temperatures. This material is exceptionally durable because of its indestructible nature. The control knob is finished with Vinyl Touch and has the same sheen as a gramophone record. Add the elegant brushed finish, and this tap becomes the room’s centrepiece.
