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\u003ewall mounted basin mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e — the tap fixes to the wall above the basin rather than sitting on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy wall mounted, and what it demands\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWall mounting leaves the basin or worktop completely clear, which looks striking and makes the surface far easier to wipe down. It suits a countertop bowl or a basin with no tap hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is that \u003cstrong\u003eall the plumbing has to be buried in the wall\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the concealed valve body has to be set at the right depth and height before the wall is boarded and tiled. That means deciding on this tap early — it is not a swap you can make later without opening up the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet the height so the spout clears the rim of your basin with room to get your hands under, and check it lands water in the middle of the bowl rather than the back edge. A stud wall needs noggins to fix the valve to; a solid wall needs chasing out. Neither is difficult, but both need doing before the finish goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1\/2\" BSP flexi hoses and fixings are supplied.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKartell rate this tap \u003cstrong\u003esuitable for low water pressure systems\u003c\/strong\u003e — it will run from as little as 0.2 bar. That means it works on a gravity-fed tank and cylinder as well as on mains, combi or unvented pressure.\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\u003ePair it with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-ottone-wall-mounted-bath-spout-brushed-brass-tap426ot\"\u003eOttone wall mounted bath spout\u003c\/a\u003e for a consistent look across basin and bath.\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-hi-rise-mono-basin-mixer-brushed-brass-tap424ot\"\u003ehi-rise version\u003c\/a\u003e for countertop bowls, 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.
