Indigo Elite X tapware
The Elite Collection is Indigo's Elite X range of tapware, distinguished by its cross handle design. Rather than the lever handles found on many contemporary tap ranges, Elite X uses a cross shaped handle, giving the range a distinct look that can suit both traditional and more transitional bathroom and kitchen styles. This range spans 9 products from Indigo.
What sets Elite X apart
The cross handle is the defining feature of this range. It offers a different grip and visual style compared to single lever mixer taps, and tends to suit bathrooms or kitchens aiming for a slightly more classic or architectural feel rather than a minimalist lever look. Because the handle design is consistent across the range, choosing Elite X gives you a way to keep tapware style unified across multiple fittings in the same room.
New builds and retrofits
Elite X is suited to both new build projects and retrofit renovations. In a new build, the range can be specified from the outset alongside other fixtures. In a retrofit, it is worth checking the existing tap holes, mounting configuration and water connections in your bathroom or kitchen against the specific Elite X product you are considering, since matching an existing rough-in is usually the deciding factor in a retrofit rather than the tap style itself.
Buying considerations
- Handle operation: a cross handle typically requires a slightly different turning motion to a lever, which is worth considering for households with elderly users or anyone who prefers a lever's single-motion operation.
- Matching across the room: if you are fitting out a full bathroom or kitchen, selecting Elite X consistently across taps and any other compatible fittings will keep the cross handle detail as a cohesive design feature rather than an isolated one.
- Retrofit compatibility: check your existing plumbing configuration, including tap hole spacing and connection type, against the specific Elite X product before ordering for a renovation.
Is Elite X right for your project
If you want tapware with a defined, cross handle look that works whether you are building new or updating an existing space, the Indigo Elite X range is worth reviewing. Confirming the exact product against your plumbing setup, particularly for a retrofit, will help ensure a straightforward installation.
