Metricon Liberty 45, Ryde NSW viewtopic.php?t=82846 Not really as the taps are different in the other bathrooms. @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3849Dec 23, 2016 10:10 pm Gosh, what a dilemma. Even though that tap looks pretty awesome, I'd go with changing the basins, only because, like franky said, do all your other taps in the bathroom match? Is this bathroom the only bathroom that has the vessel basins? Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3850Dec 23, 2016 10:29 pm Phoenix37 Gosh, what a dilemma. Even though that tap looks pretty awesome, I'd go with changing the basins, only because, like franky said, do all your other taps in the bathroom match? Is this bathroom the only bathroom that has the vessel basins? Hi P37, Yeah only the ensuite has the vessel and the wall mounted mixers. The other bathrooms have the mixer on the basin. I think option 1 with changing the basin might be an easier solution.. @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3851Dec 23, 2016 11:58 pm I like basin option B with your existing mixer. Reason being that it has higher sides so less splash and if you ever need to fill up your basin it will hold more water. Otherwise keep existing basin and go with the grooved teknobilii tapware.

We went into the Reece bathroom life centre and geez they have so many cool stuff in there. Too bad M studio doesn't carry all the full range from Reece... this is kind of annoying as there are so many other options to all of M clients. So we checked out the Teknobili cascade mixer and my gosh it looked awesome!!! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Now for the bad news. I noticed the distance between the water sprout and mixer handle for the Teknobili is 10mm less than our current mixer set. This means most likely they are not compatible...... I'm waiting for our SM to verify this.... Then we checked out the basins we have identified in my earlier post and found the Laufen Paloma basin the best looking one.

Let's wait what our SM says about changing to this mixer.

There may be a way to do that, or even an accessory you can buy to reverse it? If not, option B would be my choice if that's still possible. On a similar theme, check the water flow rate in the tap for your island be bench. We've found the flow rate is poor compared to the tap in the butlers pantry. M are investigating but I'm hearing this seems to be a common problem. Not sure what is causing it though.

We would need to change the whole tap with the proper one which is design with the handle pointing up. @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3858Dec 24, 2016 7:20 pm We built with eden brae 5 years ago. Once all the tiling was done. i noticed that *all* niches' were smaller than whats depicted on the plans. Our SM offered to buy us new canisters to hold the shampoo etc (!!) - We stood firm and said that we didn't want anything else but to have our niches' as per the plans. They had no choice but to rectify as per the plans and contract. As they say in building - you have to pick your battles - so Orph you have to decide if you even want to entertain the options presented by M. I know the proper rectification will include, re-tiling, waterproof etc = delays. But its your dream house and you will have to live with this for a while... Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3859Dec 25, 2016 7:56 am Hi orph, Sussex will customise nearly all of their tapwear. So if you find one you like but mixer points down, they can change it.
