Sensor Taps

Sensor Taps (also called infrared taps or touchless basin taps) use a built-in sensor to detect hands under the spout and start the water flow. When you move away, the tap stops automatically. This reduces contact points, helps limit cross-contamination, and cuts down on water left running by accident.

Main benefits and common use cases

• Touchless control helps improve hygiene in shared bathrooms and guest spaces.
• Automatic shut-off can reduce water use in high-traffic washrooms.
• Good for cloakrooms, family bathrooms, offices, cafés, and hospitality settings.
• Helps keep chrome and painted finishes looking cleaner with fewer fingerprints.
