The process of creating the Olympia round concrete and brass taps involves pouring concrete into custom made moulds to set. The concrete is then painstakingly finished to ensure the highest quality. These pieces are fitted inside brass encasings. Utilising top of the range 1/2 turn ceramic disc spindles, the taps have options for the backplates: a one-piece backplate or two-piece backplates, in concrete or brass. Olympia concrete taps require a plumber to ensure installation is spot on. Olympias are designed to complement any of our range of spouts - sold separately, or contact us for a package price.

Is concrete right for me? The natural finish on concrete pieces gives a smooth but textured finish; hairline cracks and variations in colour and texture appear throughout - this is inherent in the design and does not impact the function or durability. We will never send out any products that do not meet our strict standards of quality.

Brass: Our brass products are available in raw brass, aged brass, rumbled brass and aged rumbled brass. 

- Raw brass is a brushed satin raw finish; it will naturally patina over time and create changes in shine and colour. 

- Aged brass has dark blue-black, brown and brass colours in a matte finish; lighter patches may appear in areas of high use.

- Rumbled brass is lightly textured, which softens the brass to have a lightly used looking patina; it will lightly patina over time in a more uniform pattern than raw brass. 

- Aged rumbled brass is lightly textured with a unique finish of contrasting bronze and golden finishes with hints of brass; this finish will patina slightly over time and lighten up in areas of high use.
