Blutide Moon

Twenty five Moon products are listed, covering a whole bathroom, not one fitting. Basin mixers come in three body heights, high, standard and short, plus a wall type concealed basin mixer with a separate spout. The kitchen is served by single hole and wall type sink mixers, one with a J spout. For bathing there are wall type bath mixers in standard and short offset, round freestanding bath mixers with a hand shower, and concealed shower mixers with and without a diverter.

Which finishes Moon comes in

By the product titles, nine say Black, six say Stainless Steel, two say Brushed Stainless Steel, two say Chrome, and six carry no finish word. Brushed here means brushed stainless steel, not brushed brass, so Moon does not appear on the brushed brass or gunmetal pages. Black Moon items sit with the brand's other black fittings on Blutide Black.

Concealed mixers and diverters

Six Moon items are concealed. A concealed mixer buries the valve body in the wall and leaves only the handle and cover plate visible. The diverter versions add a second control that switches flow between two outlets, usually an overhead rose and a hand shower. The consequence is timing: a concealed valve goes in at first fix, so position and outlet count must be settled with your plumber before tiling. See Blutide shower mixers for the exposed alternatives.

Choosing a basin or sink mixer

Body height is the decision most people get wrong. A high Moon basin mixer clears a counter top basin, where a short or standard body sits too low to wash under comfortably. On an inset or semi recessed basin the short body is the safer choice, and one black Moon short mixer is listed at 90mm. Check spout reach too, so the stream lands mid bowl rather than against the back.

Sink mixer on these titles means a kitchen or scullery tap. Single hole versions mount through the sink or worktop, while wall type versions come off the wall behind and keep the counter clear. Compare on basin mixers and kitchen mixers, look at the similar Shore line, or start again at Blutide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the Blutide Moon range?

Twenty five products. Basin mixers in high, standard and short bodies, a wall type concealed basin mixer with its own spout, single hole and wall type sink mixers for the kitchen, wall type bath mixers in standard and short offset, round freestanding bath mixers with a hand shower, and concealed shower mixers with and without a diverter. It is a range that can fit out a full bathroom and the kitchen alongside it.

What finishes does Blutide Moon come in?

Going by the product titles, nine Moon items are Black, six are Stainless Steel, two are Brushed Stainless Steel, two are Chrome, and six carry no finish word in the title. Brushed in this range means brushed stainless steel, not brushed brass, so do not expect Moon to turn up on the brushed brass or gunmetal pages. Black is the deepest part of the range.

Is there a Moon basin mixer for a counter top basin?

Yes. The high basin mixers are the ones for a counter top or vessel basin, because the spout has to clear the rim of a bowl that sits on the surface rather than in it. The short and standard bodies are meant for inset and semi recessed basins. One black Moon short mixer is listed at 90mm. Measure your basin rim height before ordering.

What does a concealed diverter mixer do?

It combines two jobs in one wall plate. The mixer part blends hot and cold and sets the flow. The diverter part sends that water to one of two outlets, most often an overhead shower rose or a hand shower, or in a bathroom without a separate shower, a shower rose or a bath spout. The valve body sits inside the wall, so only the handles and plate show.

Can I fit a concealed Moon shower mixer to an existing bathroom?

Only with wall work. A concealed valve is chased into the wall and plumbed at first fix, before tiling, so retrofitting one into a finished bathroom means breaking out and re tiling that section. If the tiling is staying, an exposed shower mixer is the sensible route. Speak to your plumber about the wall build up and the depth available behind the tiles before you order.
