Commercial Taps: Touch Free & Manual Taps

The most intuitive range of touch-free commercial taps in Australia

No washroom is complete without taps. For almost all architects and interior designers, the first thing that comes to mind when planning a washroom is the tapware — the colour, the materials, manual versus touch-free temperature control. All these elements significantly impact your washrooms’ overall design and functionality.

With this in mind, we have developed a luxurious range of manual and touch-free commercial taps to complete your washroom design. 

Made from high-quality materials like stainless steel and chrome-plated brass, our commercial taps are made to last — even in the steamiest washrooms. Completely corrosion and tarnish-resistant, Dolphin’s Australian-designed smart taps are popular among architects and contractors worldwide.

Elegant sensor taps in Australia — adding “touch-free” convenience to your washrooms 

Sleek, efficient tapware can add a much-needed sense of cleanliness and style to any washroom. Touch-free tapware, for example, allows your guests to wash their hands without touching a single surface. Paired with touch-free soap dispensers, hand dryers and paper towel dispensers, your guests can feel secure knowing their hands are perfectly clean.

Clean, sanitary washrooms are now more important than ever, so touch-free tapware is an absolute essential for your washroom design.

Our touch-free commercial taps are powered with infrared, which detects hand motion within a few seconds and eliminates the need for guests to touch any surfaces. Aside from the “touch-free” benefit, this eliminates the need for valves and maximises space on the wall, sink or vanity.

Automatic taps are truly one of the best innovations in washroom design. Browse through our collection online today.

Custom colours & textures to ensure your automatic taps blend into your washroom design 

Like almost all of our products, our tapware can be customised to blend into the existing design of your washroom. We offer two premium coatings to add style to your taps: powder coating and physical vapour deposition (PVD).

Powder coating is a popular choice for architects all over the world. A free-flowing organic powder is applied to the tapware and fused to the metal in a curing oven. The application process creates a smooth, consistent and attractive finish, allowing us to add colour and texture to your tapware.

Our powder coating is often used to coat stainless steel products and is available in elegant stainless steel, chic matte black or the full range of RAL colours. 

On the other hand, our PVD coating provides a strong corrosion and tarnish-resistant finish typically found in high-performance environments like the automotive and marine industries. PVD mimics far more expensive metals like gold, silver and bronze, adding an extra touch of luxury to your washroom design.

Whether you want a mirror or matte finish, powder coatings and PVD are available for your tapware. Contact our team for more information and recommendations about colours and finishes for your washrooms.
