What is the Phoenix Gloss Mk II range

Gloss Mk II is an established Phoenix tapware and shower range, spanning 46 products across taps and showers. It suits homeowners and trades who want to specify a single, consistent range across bathroom and kitchen fittings, from basin and kitchen taps through to shower components, without switching between different Phoenix collections.

Who this range suits

Because Gloss Mk II covers both taps and showers, it suits full bathroom renovations and new builds where matching tapware and shower hardware throughout is a priority. It also suits buyers replacing individual fittings who want a like for like match to existing Gloss Mk II products already installed in the home.

Buying considerations

Matching taps and showers

With 46 products spanning two categories, one of the main advantages of choosing within a single range is consistency of design across every tap and shower fitting in a bathroom or kitchen. When renovating multiple areas at once, working through the Gloss Mk II range for both taps and showers helps avoid subtle mismatches in handle style or spout design that can occur when mixing ranges.

Configuration and mounting

Taps and showers within the range are supplied in different configurations to suit different fixtures, such as basins, kitchen sinks, and shower systems, so check the specific product listing against where it will be installed. Confirm mounting type, whether deck mounted or wall mounted, matches your existing plumbing rough in or your renovation plan before ordering.

Water pressure and compatibility

As with any tapware or shower purchase, check the flow rate and minimum pressure requirements listed on each product against your home's water system, particularly for shower components. This is especially relevant in renovations where the existing plumbing setup may differ from what a new fitting expects.

Installation

Tap and shower installation should generally be carried out by a licensed plumber, particularly for shower systems that involve wall or ceiling connections. Basin and kitchen taps are sometimes replaced without a full plumbing job, but shower components typically require professional fitting to ensure a proper seal and correct pressure balance.

Why choose Gloss Mk II

As a larger, established range at 46 products, Gloss Mk II gives buyers the depth to specify an entire bathroom or kitchen from one consistent design line, from individual taps through to shower fittings, rather than piecing together fixtures from separate ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Gloss Mk II range cover both taps and showers
Yes, the range spans 46 products across both taps and showers, which makes it possible to specify matching tapware and shower hardware for the same bathroom or kitchen project. This is useful when consistency of design across every fitting in a room is a priority.
Can I match a new Gloss Mk II shower to an existing Gloss Mk II tap
In most cases yes, since products within the same named range are designed to share a consistent look. It is still worth checking individual product listings to confirm the exact finish and design details align with what you already have installed.
Do I need a plumber to install Gloss Mk II tapware
Shower components generally require installation by a licensed plumber to ensure correct pressure balance and a proper seal at wall or ceiling connections. Basin and kitchen taps can sometimes be replaced without a full plumbing job, but professional installation is recommended for best results.
How do I know if a Gloss Mk II tap will suit my water pressure
Check the flow rate and minimum pressure requirements listed on the specific product against your home's water system. This is particularly important for shower fittings, where pressure compatibility affects performance.
What is the difference between deck mounted and wall mounted options in this range
Deck mounted taps sit directly on the basin, bath, or benchtop, while wall mounted options are fitted into the wall above or behind the fixture. Which one suits your project depends on your existing plumbing rough in or the layout planned for a new build, so check this against the specific product listing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which basin mixer is right for my basin type?

The key factor is the height and style of your basin. For standard inset or semi-recessed basins, a regular deck-mounted basin mixer with a spout height of around 100–140mm works well. However, if you have an above-counter or vessel basin, where the bowl sits on top of the benchtop, you will need a tall basin mixer with a spout height of 180mm or more, otherwise the spout will sit below the basin rim and water will splash onto the benchtop. Wall-mounted mixers offer another option for above-counter basins, with the height controlled by your rough-in position. Always confirm basin rim height before purchasing your tapware.

What is the difference between a bath mixer and a basin mixer?

While bath mixers and basin mixers may look similar, they are not interchangeable. The key technical difference is the water supply connection size. This difference matters because filling a bathtub requires a significantly higher flow rate, a basin mixer simply cannot deliver water fast enough to fill a bath in a reasonable time. Always use tapware specified for bath applications when fitting out a bath, and consult your plumber if you are unsure.

What is a shower mixer and how does it work?

A shower mixer (or shower tap) is the control valve that regulates the flow and temperature of water to your shower. A single-lever mixer controls both temperature and flow with one handle. A thermostatic mixer maintains a pre-set water temperature even if pressure changes elsewhere in the system, a safer and more convenient option, particularly for households with children. Shower mixers in Australia must comply with AS 3718 standards.

What types of bath taps are available in Australia?

Wall-mounted bath mixers and spouts are fixed to the wall above or beside the bath, they create a clean, uncluttered look and suit most built-in and back-to-wall bath styles. Hob-mounted (deck-mounted) bath taps sit on the rim or surrounding ledge of the bath. Freestanding floor-mounted bath mixers are a statement option for freestanding baths, the tapware stands independently on the floor beside or behind the bath and is supplied through plumbing brought up through the floor. Finally, over-bath shower systems combine a bath filler spout with an integrated shower, offering versatility in smaller bathrooms.
