Outdoor Tapware

Buildmat supplies outdoor taps and tapware to renovators, builders and homeowners across Australia, with options for alfresco kitchens, poolside showers, outdoor baths and garden entertaining areas. Our range includes 316 marine-grade stainless steel kitchen mixers, wall mixers, shower sets, basin taps and matching accessories designed for outdoor use.

Whether you're replacing an outside tap or planning a complete outdoor kitchen or bathroom, we'd check the installation location, water supply and exposure to the elements before choosing. You can filter the range by brand, finish and price, or browse the collections below to find the right fittings.

From a practical outdoor water tap to a complete alfresco shower setup, choose the tapware that suits how you'll use your space.

• Outdoor shower mixers: Find wall mixers for controlling water flow and temperature, with options to pair with an overhead shower or hand shower.

• Outdoor basin mixers and wall spouts: Choose from deck-mounted basin mixers and wall-mounted tapware for outdoor handwashing areas and alfresco bathrooms.

What We'd Check Before You Buy

Outdoor tapware needs to handle changing weather conditions while working with your plumbing and fixtures. Here's what we'd check before ordering.

• Materials: We recommend 316 marine-grade stainless steel for exposed outdoor spaces, particularly near pools and coastal areas. It offers greater corrosion resistance than standard stainless steel, although regular cleaning and maintenance are still important.

• Outdoor suitability: Not all indoor kitchen tapware, laundry tapware or bathroom mixers are approved for outdoor installation. Check the manufacturer's specifications for the complete fitting, including its finish.

• Water supply: Confirm whether you need hot and cold water, cold water only or a separate wall mixer. Your plumber can check the connection points and water pressure before installation.

• Mounting and dimensions: Check whether you need a wall-mounted or bench-mounted tap. For kitchen mixers, measure the spout reach and sink clearance. For wall spouts and shower mixers, confirm the rough-in and connection requirements.

• Finish: Our outdoor range includes brushed stainless steel, brushed nickel, brushed gold, brushed bronze and graphite. If you're considering a black outdoor tap, check the available dark finishes and their outdoor-use specifications rather than assuming every matte black tap is suitable.

• Compliance: Check the WELS rating and lead-free specifications where applicable, particularly for kitchen and basin mixers used for drinking water or food preparation.
