With an impressive height of 288mm. The Crosswater Marvel Tall Monobloc Basin Tap is built for use with countertop basins or situations that don't allow for traditional basin-side deck mounting. This is because some more uniquely styled countertop basins have little to no rim for mounting of taps. Meaning if you hope to deck mount a tap you will need one with extra height to reach over when fitting to a countertop.
The marvel handles this extra height handily. Keeping its staple pyramidal column shape and flat paddle spout. So its core looks are untouched and so it remains a modern bathroom "marvel".
