The Builders Range: Why We Are Obsessed With Phoenix’s Hidden Gem

You’re finally doing it. You’re planning a reno, or maybe you’re tackling a whole new build. It's exciting, but let's be honest, it's also a maze of decisions and budgets, right? We know. We’ve been there, and we talk to people like you every single day.

Here at The Blue Space, we’re completely and utterly passionate about good design. But great design shouldn’t feel impossible to reach, especially when you’re watching the dollars add up across the whole house. So what happens when you need that trusted, reliable quality—the stuff that won’t leak or fail—but you also need to keep the budget on a tight leash? We get it. That’s why we want to shine a massive spotlight on the Phoenix Builders range.

Look, the way we see it is there’s a secret sweet spot in bathroom and kitchen fittings. It’s where solid, reputable manufacturing meets incredibly competitive pricing. And you don’t have to compromise on the clean, contemporary look you’re after. It's the best of both worlds. A genuine lifesaver for investors, first-time renovators, or anyone fitting out a whole house. So let’s talk about what makes this collection so brilliant for our customers.

What Exactly Is The Phoenix Builders Range? The Simple Explanation.

You might see the word ‘Builders’ and think it means basic or boring. Stop right there. That’s not what this is. We think of the Phoenix Builders range as the absolute foundation of reliable, great-looking tapware.

It’s Phoenix’s answer to high-volume, high-trust installations. These are the core products that builders and developers have been relying on for decades because they just work. They’re certified, they’re tough, and they look clean and modern without drawing all the attention away from your beautiful tiles and joinery. Think clean lines. Think simple forms. Think the kind of tap you install and then immediately forget about for the next fifteen years because it’s doing its job perfectly.

And importantly, this collection is designed to be affordable. We’ve seen so many customers fall in love with this because it gives them the peace of mind of a premium brand like Phoenix Tapware, but without the top-tier price tag of some of their other collections, like the popular Teel, Pina or Arlo ranges. It's the workhorse that looks good doing the work. Really good.

Where Does This Reliable Tapware Shine? Every Room, Honestly.

The beauty of this collection is its versatility. Because the look is so simple and timeless, it can slide into almost any design scheme you’re cooking up.

In the Bathroom

It’s the ideal choice for main bathrooms, ensuites, and especially powder rooms where you want everything to look sharp and function perfectly without a huge expense. The basin mixers are clean, simple to clean, and fit seamlessly with almost any basin shape you choose. The shower fittings, like the shower mixers in the range, are a no-fuss choice that deliver a great spray pattern and reliable water control. Perfect for the family bathroom where durability is key.

In the Kitchen

The kitchen gets more use than anywhere else, so you can't muck around with quality here. Our team always recommends a solid, easy-to-use sink mixer, and the Phoenix Builders range delivers this without question. They offer options that are just as reliable and functional as their premium cousins. You get that good reach and solid feel that you need every day. You'll find great options among the kitchen taps and Phoenix kitchen mixer taps.

For Investment Properties or Second Homes

This is where the range really comes into its own. If you’re fitting out an investment property, you need fittings that are proven to last and won’t cause issues down the track. But you also need a smart price point that helps your bottom line. The Phoenix Builders range is that smart choice, ticking the box for quality, look, and budget all at once. It helps you get that great rental return. What a win.

Breaking Down the Types: What’s on Offer?

While the look is consistent—clean and modern—the collection covers all the core fittings you need. It’s comprehensive. That means you can use it to kit out a whole house and everything will match perfectly, which is a big relief.

• Mixers: Everything from simple basin mixers and sink mixers to basic shower mixers. They all have the same sturdy feel and reliable cartridge that Phoenix is known for.

• Spouts: Essential for filling basins and baths. You’ll find simple, elegant basin spouts and bath spouts that don't mess around with fussy design.

• Tap Sets: Simple, traditional tap sets, like the bathroom basin taps, are available too. Sometimes you just need a classic setup.

• Kitchen Focus: Good options in the basic hob mixers category. And they always offer a solid, functional gooseneck sink mixer that everyone loves for its practicality.

The Real Benefits: Why You Should Choose The Phoenix Builders Range

Choosing tapware isn’t just about the way it looks in the showroom; it’s about how it holds up three years down the track, and what kind of value it adds to your home. Here are the three non-negotiables that make this range a standout choice for us at The Blue Space.

1. Trusted Quality, Sensible Price Tag

This is the big one. Phoenix Tapware is a reputable Australian brand, and their products are held to seriously high quality and safety standards. That means the internals are good. The ceramic cartridges are reliable. When you’re choosing from the Phoenix Builders range, you’re getting the foundation of that quality. You’re not paying extra for complex design features or brand-new, experimental finishes. You're paying for proven reliability. It’s smart money spent. And that’s a good feeling.

2. It’s The Simplest Way to Co-ordinate Everything

When you’re buying multiple taps and spouts for different rooms, you want them to feel like they belong together. The core design language of the Builders range is so clean and consistent that you can mix and match items—a wall-mounted set in the main bath and a standard basin mixer in the ensuite—and the whole house still looks cohesive. You've sorted your whole wet area aesthetic with one simple choice.

3. Colour and Finish Options That Last

While the range is about core function, it’s not just Chrome anymore. These days, you can get the Builders range pieces in different finishes to suit your style. Yes, classic chrome taps are always in stock, which is the most affordable and durable choice. But if you want to dial up the style a little, you can often find pieces in simple, contemporary finishes like matte black—a perennial favourite, especially for kitchen taps—or even brushed finishes like brushed nickel. And you might even spot a sneaky gold or brushed brass piece here and there. This allows for a little design flair without blowing the budget on complex finishes.

4. Certified and Safe

Seriously important. All tapware sold by The Blue Space, including the Phoenix Builders range, is certified to meet Australian standards. That’s a given. But Phoenix goes the extra mile by ensuring that many of their products, especially the ones you use for drinking water, meet the super-important standards for lead-free taps. Peace of mind matters. It really does.

Other Considerations: The "Don't Forget This" Advice from Our Team

Just because you’re choosing a more affordable range doesn't mean you can skip the planning part! What our team always recommends is to measure twice and think about the details. Here are a few quick bits of expert advice:

1. Match Your Look (But Don't Stress Too Much)

Because the design is so simple, the Phoenix Builders range goes well with almost all of their other collections. Say you're doing a new build and you want a show-stopping Teva basin mixer in the master ensuite, but need to fit out three other bathrooms cheaply. That's fine! You can put the Builders range in the other areas and the consistency of the Phoenix brand and the simple aesthetic means they won't look out of place. It’s a great way to save money where it won’t be noticed.

2. Consider Your Other Fittings

Are you buying a chrome mixer? Then make sure your shower rail, your towel rail, and your toilet roll holder are also chrome. Sounds obvious, but sometimes people forget. The continuity of finish is what separates a good bathroom from a truly great one. You don't want a rogue gunmetal tap sticking out when everything else is stainless steel. Keep it simple. Keep it consistent.

3. Check Your Water Pressure!

Every tap needs a minimum water pressure to work properly. This is standard across all of our products, but it’s still worth checking with your plumber if you are on a non-standard system (like tank water). It’s just good practice. We want you to have a perfect flow every time.

Our Final Takeaway on The Phoenix Builders Range

We absolutely love being able to offer this collection to our customers. It’s honest. It’s reliable. And it respects your budget while giving you that clean, modern look you want for your home. You get the backing of the whole Phoenix warranty and the peace of mind that comes with buying from a trusted brand, all without the price shock. What more could you ask for in a reliable workhorse fitting? We think it’s the definition of smart design and smart shopping.
