Kartell describe brushed brass as \"the latest luxe style to take the interior design spotlight\", and it is the warmest of the finishes they offer: a soft matt gold rather than a bright polished one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003ehi-rise mono basin mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e — a taller version of the standard basin mixer, with the spout raised well clear of the basin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen you need a hi-rise\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard basin mixer sits low, which is fine for a basin with the tap hole in the rim. But if you have a \u003cstrong\u003ecountertop or vessel basin\u003c\/strong\u003e — a bowl sitting on top of a worktop or vanity unit — a standard tap will be too short, and the spout will sit at or below the rim of the bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hi-rise gives you the height to get your hands underneath comfortably. Measure the height of your bowl from the worktop before choosing, and check the spout will reach far enough over to land water near the middle of the bowl rather than the edge. A taller spout also means a longer drop, so splashing is more likely with a shallow bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKartell rate this tap for pressures \u003cstrong\u003ebetween 0.5 and 10 bar\u003c\/strong\u003e. That covers mains, combi and unvented systems comfortably. A gravity-fed tank and cylinder can reach 0.5 bar where there is enough height between the cold tank and the tap, but in a bungalow, or where the tank sits close above the bathroom, it often will not — worth checking before you order, or fitting a pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLiving with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eceramic disc cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e with quarter-turn operation gives full flow from a small movement of the lever, and is far less prone to dripping than a washer tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrushed brass is a coated finish, not solid metal, and the brushed texture is more forgiving of water spots than polished chrome — marks tend to disappear into the grain rather than sit on the surface. What it will not tolerate is abrasives: never use a cream cleaner, a scouring pad or a limescale remover on it, because those cut through the coating and the brass tone underneath cannot be restored. A wipe with a soft damp cloth is all it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your basin has a rim tap hole rather than being a countertop bowl, the standard \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-ottone-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-brushed-brass-tap421ot\"\u003eOttone mono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e is the one you want — and unlike this one it includes a matching click waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe rest of the Ottone range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe range also includes a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-ottone-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-brushed-brass-tap421ot\"\u003emono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-ottone-wall-mounted-basin-mixer-brushed-brass-tap425ot\"\u003ewall mounted basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-ottone-bath-filler-brushed-brass-tap422ot\"\u003ebath filler\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-ottone-bath-shower-mixer-brushed-brass-tap420ot\"\u003ebath shower mixer\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-ottone-wall-mounted-bath-spout-brushed-brass-tap426ot\"\u003ewall mounted bath spout\u003c\/a\u003e and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-ottone-freestanding-bath-shower-mixer-brushed-brass-tap423ot\"\u003efreestanding bath shower mixer\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe same tap in other finishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOttone is the brushed brass version of a design Kartell also make in polished chrome as \u003cstrong\u003eKore\u003c\/strong\u003e and in matt black as \u003cstrong\u003eNero Round\u003c\/strong\u003e.
