The tap becomes the thing people look at
Most bathroom taps are hardware you stop noticing. This one is not. It comes out of the wall instead of the counter, and instead of a spout it has a curved sheet of amber-tinted glass that the water runs across and falls off. Nothing is hidden inside a tube. You watch the water the whole way down.
It is a wall-mounted single-lever mixer, so one handle does hot, cold and everything between, and because the body sits inside the wall there is nothing standing on your counter to clean around.
It is also a fixture you install, not an appliance you plug in. The rest of this page is the detail you need to decide whether it fits your bathroom before you commit to putting holes in a wall.
How the waterfall actually behaves
Water leaves a narrow slot in the wall plate, spreads across the full width of the glass, and drops off the front lip as a flat curtain. That is the whole mechanism, and it is why it looks the way it does: the glass is wide and shallow, so the water arrives as a broad sheet rather than a single aerated stream.
Worth knowing before you buy: a wide flat sheet and a narrow pressurised jet are different things. This shape is built to be watched and to fill a basin gently. Open it hard and a sheet this wide will throw droplets past the rim, so it wants a basin with some depth under it rather than a shallow dish.
It takes a second for the water to spread and clear the lip when you first open the lever. That is the sheet forming, and it is normal for this design.
“ORB” and “black” — which is it?
Both, and this is the single thing buyers most often get wrong about this tap, so here it is plainly. ORB stands for oil-rubbed bronze. It is not paint and it is not a flat black powder coat. It is a dark bronze finish that reads as near-black across the flat faces, with warmer coppery tones surfacing on the raised edges and around the ring the handle comes out of.
In a bright bathroom under daylight you will see the bronze. In a dim one, or photographed straight on, it reads almost black. If you are matching it to true matte-black fixtures you already own, expect a warmer, deeper neighbour rather than an exact match. If you are matching bronze or antique hardware, it will sit right in.
The manufacturer's own description for this fixture calls the finish oil-rubbed bronze, and lists the colour as black. Both are describing the same surface.
The glass is amber, not clear
The spout is tempered glass with a warm amber-brown tint through it. It is not colourless, and it is not frosted. Held up to a pale wall you can see the wall through it, tinted. Under running water the tint warms further and the sheet picks up the colour.
We are calling this out because photography of tinted glass is unreliable and a clear-glass expectation is the kind of thing that ends in a return. If you want a colourless spout, this is not that tap.
Basin or tub
The manufacturer specifies it for both basin and tub use, and its own listing category is bathroom sink faucets. In practice that means it is sized as a basin mixer: the plate is a little under ten inches across and the glass reaches a little over seven inches out from the wall, which suits a vanity basin or a vessel bowl set below it.
On a tub it works where the wall behind the tub can take the plate and where that reach clears the tub rim. Measure that reach against your rim before you plan a tub install — it is the number that decides it.
What is in the box
Not included, and not implied by any photo on this page:
The basin, the bathtub, the counter, the drain and the pop-up waste. Those appear in photographs to show the tap in context and none of them ship with it. If you want the drain to match the finish, you are buying that separately.
Before you cut anything
This is a two-hole wall installation. The spout body and the valve body each pass through the wall behind the plate, and the mixing valve lives in the wall cavity. That is a real commitment to a wall, so read the measurements first.
Three things we cannot tell you, and will not guess at
The manufacturer does not publish the inlet thread size, the depth the valve body needs inside the wall, or the length of the supplied hoses. We are not going to print an industry average next to a fixture you are about to open a wall for.
If your install depends on any of those three, message us before you order and we will get the measurement off a physical unit. If you are running new supply lines, plan for the possibility of needing longer flexible connectors — that is the one that catches people out.
Keeping it looking like it did on day one
Mild soap and a soft cloth. The manufacturer specifies nothing stronger, and on a bronze finish nothing stronger is a good idea — abrasive creams and limescale removers are what take the shine off these surfaces.
A dark finish and a flat glass ledge both show water where a chrome curve would hide it. Drying the glass and the plate with the towel you already have in there keeps it looking sharp, and takes about five seconds.
