Key to the look are the clean, modern lines that cross the traditional boundaries of colour and metal finishes — matt black, brushed nickel and polished chrome are on offer for the kitchen mixer, basin, bath/shower mixers and wall mount mixer.

Nickel is being cited as the new metal finish for bathrooms; it creates the appeal of metal but in a softer, more organic lustre than the traditional polished finishes.

Efficiency is another stand-out, with the Studio Kitchen Mixer having a four star WELS rating, using 7.5 litres of water a minute with a height of 338mm and a 360 degree swivel spout.

As with all Englefield products, The Studio Collection is made from the highest quality materials and is both tarnish and corrosion resistant.
