One of the key standout features of Greens Tapware is its use of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology. This advanced process infuses molecules to enhance both durability and aesthetics. This results in a finish that’s not only visually stunning, but also highly resistant to scratching, fading and everyday wear.

Whether it’s the timeless shine of chrome, the warmth of brushed brass and brushed nickel, the sleekness of matt black or the modern edge of gun metal, each PVD finish offers lasting beauty with luxury appeal. It’s easy to see why PVD finishes have become synonymous with high-end design standards.

Greens Tapware is dedicated to both style and substance. The company’s premium tapware products don’t just look the part – they’re built to withstand the rigours of daily use while maintaining a flawless appearance. With carefully matched accessories and finishes across their range, Greens Tapware opens the door to seamless coordination in any renovation project.

Available at leading stockists across Australia and New Zealand, Greens Tapware products boast the perfect blend of form and function. With the large variety of finishes available, there’s a perfect option for every space and style. For those seeking high-end design without the high-end price tag, Greens Tapware delivers sophisticated tapware that truly stands the test of time.

The original design had a unique, internationally patented feature being the “safety run timer,” which has since been adopted by all electronic tap manufacturers, a testament to the innovative nature of the company.

In the late 1990s Autoflo was acquired by an electronics manufacturing company in Melbourne. This acquisition helped the company diversify its product range and cleverly incorporate electronic sensing into new bespoke tapware, setting a lead followed by other sensor tap manufacturers. The local design and manufacturing capability gives Autoflo a distinct advantage over competitors that import and supply off-the-shelf products.

As a local manufacturer, Autoflo works with architects and interior designers to develop the best product for the application, which may include customised features in operation with a range of finishes to complement the design palette.

In addition to their branded Autoflo / AutoAqua range of products, they have designed and manufactured an exclusive range of kitchen and bathroom tapware
for the Reece Group.

AutoFlo understands that electronic tapware is not in the standard plumber’s manual, which is why they have a full-time customer service and technical resource available to offer input at the design or concept stage on projects and support during or after installation if required.

e&s introduces VOLA: iconic Danish Design, their design aesthetic is something that’s replicated by many bathroom designers and sought after by consumers alike. The simplicity of the design is timeless in appearance – something 55 years later that is still wanted by consumers. It is luxury and quality all wrapped into a family of mixers, handles, plates and spouts to create a truly modular approach to design.

Born in 1968, Vola has produced its products out of Horsens, Denmark. With traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship and the most modern engineering technology, they ensure the highest standard and quality of finishes for a product that is made to last. Most products are made from solid brass and gunmetal, with valve housings made using dezincification-resistant brass, all lead-free and with the promise of longevity.

Vola came to Australia in the 1980s and was well-received by the designer and architect community with its revolutionary design. The brand has a limited and selective distribution within Australia, and in 2023, e&s was lucky to be a part of that. Vola and e&s have a lot in common, both specialising in the best quality of care and standards in their operation.

Vola has been around for just as long as e&s has, for almost 60 years, and every step of their production is meticulous and held to the highest regard. From only creating products they need for sustainability to hand brushing and testing each tap before it is packed.

e&s only offers stable world-renowned brands that have demonstrated consistent quality, product development and superior customer service. So, it is a delight to say that taking on Vola was an easy decision.

The Gloss MKII collection refines the proportions of understated curves to create mixers that have an ease of use, while incorporating contemporary design trends.  As function and form have been a focus for the Phoenix in-house design team, so too have energy and water-saving tapware advances.

Phoenix Creative Design Manager, John Hoogendoorn and his team have again presented the market with a collection that satisfies what consumers are looking for in their tapware.  “Gloss MKII represents a major update for the Gloss range and is infused with our sophisticated design DNA. The purposeful lines and graceful surfacing cloak what is, in essence, a highly technical product,” John reflects. “These refined proportions ensure Gloss MKII will remain timeless for decades to come.”

The Gloss MKII Vessel and Basin Mixers employ Cold Start Technology via energy-saving cartridge technology which allows only cold water to be delivered when the tap is operated from the traditional mid-lever position.  Combined with a 6-star WELS rating for the Basin and Vessel Mixers, Gloss MKII saves both energy and water.

The Gloss MKII collection is SwitchMix® compatible.  SwitchMix® allows the consumer to easily select a new design or finish in the future without having to remove or damage tiles, as all the changes are made front-of-wall. The home owner can choose Gloss MKII with confidence, knowing that if they change their mind about the finish  or indeed, the style, they can easily make the change to one of Phoenix’s other SwitchMix® compatible designs or finishes in the future.

The Gloss MKII collection is available in five of Phoenix’s finishes – Chrome, Matte Black, Brushed Nickel, Brushed Gold and Brushed Carbon – and consists of a Basin Mixer, Vessel Mixer and Sink Mixer, a Shower/Wall Mixer, a Wall Basin/Bath Mixer Set and a Wall Basin/Bath Outlet.  The collection is complemented beautifully by the existing Gloss collection of accessories available in the same range of colour finishes as Gloss MKII, allowing the home owner to create a cohesive feel in their bathrooms.

With a soft square line design and modern aesthetic, the Gloss MKII collection pairs perfectly with many of our shower collections, such as NX Quil and NX Orli, Lexi, Nuage and Vivid Slimline.

Gloss MKII is currently in stock at the Phoenix warehouse and available for delivery on short lead time for the convenience of specifiers, the building and plumbing trade, and homeowners.

Equally placed in a modern farmhouse setting as it is in an industrial warehouse, the Cromford collection pays homage to the hard-working innovations of the past. The collection name itself is appropriated from the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in 18^th-century Great Britain. The Phoenix in-house design team has thoughtfully crafted a collection of tapware, showers and accessories that reflect modern-day sensibilities. Pared back and uncomplicated in design, with a nod to history in their finer detail.

Alexander Tomlinson, Design Engineer at Phoenix, created the distinctive shape of this collection.  “Cromford is all about reserved elegance. It’s subtle and refined but the overall aesthetic hints back to a time when design was extravagant.”

Alex explains where his inspiration from Cromford was derived. “The range was inspired by an old plumbing catalogue I found dating back to the late 1800s. It was filled with hand-drawn sketches of cast iron valves and pipe fittings that featured decorative details. Combining that exquisite fine detailing with precise, uninterrupted geometric forms brought about a unique design language for the range.”

Along with this stand-out design aesthetic, Phoenix has announced that Cromford is pioneering their drive toward Lead Free tapware.  New regulations in Australia mean that all products that are intended for use as an outlet for drinking water, namely tapware and mixers, will transition to Lead Free brass content by September 2025, in the interests of public health. This means that all Mixers, Diverters and Wall Top Assemblies in the Cromford collection conform with the “Lead Free” regulation.

The Cromford collection is SwitchMix® compatible. SwitchMix® allows the consumer to easily select a new design or finish in the future without having to remove or damage tiles, as all the changes are made front-of-wall. The home owner can choose Cromford with confidence, knowing that if they change their mind about the finish or indeed, the style, they can easily make the change to one of Phoenix’s other SwitchMix® compatible designs or finishes in the future.

Phoenix Interim CEO and Sales Director, Michael Phelan, summarises the launch of Cromford. “Cromford has been very well received in preliminary showcases to the market. The feedback is positive because as well as being a unique design, it offers solutions as Cromford has a full range of products – Mixers, Shower and Accessories – in four of our Contemporary Finishes – Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black and Brushed Gold.” Michael goes on to highlight, “The distinct advantage that we have in launching Cromford is that we have all stock available for immediate supply”.

There is a plethora of gold hues currently on the market. Where do you start in choosing the finish that is right for your project? And how do you pair gold with your other bathroom fittings and fixtures?

The warm tone of the Phoenix Brushed Gold finish is characterised by the muted lines across its surface and its soft metallic hue. This softness means that this is the type of gold that will complement rather than dominate your room. It will make a statement that is refined and sophisticated, not bold and brash.

Brushed Gold is a modern spin on a traditional gold tapware finish. So, it works beautifully in design styles where you may want to reference the past in a modern, minimal design aesthetic. It can be paired with earthen, natural tones found in timber, terracotta and stone. And works equally well with colour, especially shades of pink from nude to blush.

Phoenix understands the frustrations that homeowners, interior designers and architects face when they specify a gold finish for bathroom fixtures and fittings, only to find that they cannot source all the tapware, showers and accessories in that particular finish.

The Phoenix Vivid Slimline collection, a perennial favourite with its slimline lever handles, will suit any modern interior, and presents the Phoenix Brushed Gold finish across tapware, showers and accessories. This highlights the cohesion that can be achieved when the same Brushed Gold finish is shared across not only tapware and mixers but also shower roses and accessories such as single towel rails, soap dishes, robe hooks and toilet roll holders.

Not only is Brushed Gold in the spotlight in bathrooms, but it is also making a star appearance in kitchens. Kitchen taps have long been the domain of finishes such as chrome or more recently, black. Now, Brushed Gold adds a touch of glamour, with Kitchen Sink Mixers being the jewel in the crown of an island bench or a luxe butler’s pantry.

Not only will these Brushed Gold products look amazing, but they will also have the additional benefit of the longevity and durability of the extensive Phoenix finish warranty.

The Collection highlights Phoenix’s recently launched finishes, Matte White and Brushed Carbon, along with the established finishes of Brushed Gold, Brushed Nickel, Chrome, Gun Metal, Matte Black and Stainless Steel.

The Curated Finishes Collection will inspire both specifiers and homeowners to envisage Phoenix finishes paired with contemporary bathroom materials such as sophisticated tiles, elegant stone and warm timbers. They highlight the cohesion that can be achieved when the same finish is shared across not only tapware and mixers but also showers and accessories such as towel rails, shower shelves, soap dishes, robe hooks and toilet roll holders. The aim is to embolden their choices so as they can progress with selections based on aesthetics, with the additional benefit of the longevity and durability of Phoenix finishes.

Chantelle Malone, Project and Marketing Manager at Phoenix, describes how the concept for The Curated Finishes Collection came to be. “We identified a need for people to be able to conceptualise how Phoenix finishes could complement their upcoming projects. To bring this idea to life, we knew that we needed to show actual product rather than artistic representations. Our requirement was to show how the light moves across our tapware, just as it does in a bathroom and how it can be brought to life in homes with trending materials,” Chantelle enthused. “To help us actualise this vision, we worked with respected Melbourne stylist, Bek Sheppard who curated our living mood boards for us. The result is considered, refined and very on-trend.”

The kaleidoscope of the Australian landscape is represented in the imagery of The Curated Finishes Collection, evoking strong feelings of connection through organic form, textural depth and beautiful dappled morning light. Each finish has its own palette with layers of tone and depth represented in an atmospheric style.

Phoenix chooses the premium plating process that best suits the finish they are aiming to achieve in their tapware, showers and accessories. They use the latest technology and durability standards to provide you with the highest quality finish for any interior design, backed by an extensive warranty.

Phoenix creates bathroom and kitchen fittings through refined Australian design. For over 30 years, they have been trusted to deliver innovation, precision and quality in every product – designed in-house and made with pride – for a timeless experience in the home.

The textural, earthen feel of Brushed Carbon creates mood and drama. Working beautifully with sophisticated tones, it brings visual excitement in both classic and modern settings. Although the brushed surface is refined, the statement this finish will bring to a home is strong.

Phoenix always chooses the premium plating process that best suits the finish they are aiming to achieve. In the case of Brushed Carbon, Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) is used. This is the best way to achieve this finish through a highly sustainable process with little to no waste, providing a durable and hard finish. It works by placing the mixer in a high vacuum environment. Several vaporised metals are added which eventually form a thin film of metallic material that hardens to create the stunning Brushed Carbon finish.

Phoenix stands by the high quality of their Brushed Carbon with a seven-year warranty on the finish for all mixers, tapware and accessories and a three-year finish warranty on showers.

To clean your Brushed Carbon tapware, showers and accessories, use mild liquid detergent or soap and water. Never use harsh detergents or any product that will scratch and damage the surface.

Brushed Carbon is now available as a finish option through the Vivid Slimline collection, as well as selected lines in the Vivid and Designer Sink Mixer collection.  Examples of product available include Basin Mixers,  Wall Basin Mixer Sets and accessories such as Towel Rails and Towel Ladders.  All product is currently available from the Phoenix warehouse in Melbourne, with no supply chain issues affecting distribution.
