Blutide Silk Mixers
Silk covers a full bathroom and the kitchen sink from one set of fittings, repeated in each finish. The bathroom side runs to a standard basin mixer, a high basin mixer, a wall mounted basin and bath trim kit, a bath diverter trim kit, a concealed shower mixer trim kit and a round freestanding bath mixer with hand shower. The kitchen side adds a single hole sink mixer, a plain sink mixer, a spray sink mixer and a gooseneck. Nothing here is a one off shape, which is the point of buying a range.
The four Silk finishes
Gunmetal, black, brass and chrome. Each title carries its finish, so the sensible order is to settle the finish, then work down the fittings. Coverage across the four is close to complete but not perfect, so if one fitting has to match the rest exactly, check it is listed in your finish before the other pieces are ordered around it.
Where the finish matters more than the range, the catalogue is also gathered by colour on Black and Gunmetal, with a separate page for Brushed Brass. Silk names its warm finish simply Brass, so compare the two on screen if you are matching brass that came from another range.
Trim kits and in-wall bodies
Three Silk fittings are trim kits: the wall mounted basin and bath set, the bath diverter and the concealed shower mixer. A trim kit is what stays visible once the wall is finished, meaning the handle, the plate and any spout. The body behind it is a separate item under plumbing and wastes, so buy the pair together and let your plumber confirm the match before the wall closes.
Silk and Lace
Silk and Lace are close cousins. They list the same fittings in the same four finishes, and the honest answer is that the choice between them is how the bodies and handles look, which the photographs show better than words. Silk is the fuller of the two on the kitchen side. See the range by type in Blutide basin mixers, kitchen mixers and bath mixers, or the whole Blutide catalogue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What finishes does the Blutide Silk range come in?
Four: gunmetal, black, brass and chrome. The finish is written into each product title, so you can read it off the collection page without opening every listing. Coverage across the four is close to complete, though the odd fitting is missing from one finish, so check the exact piece you need is listed in your colour before ordering the rest of the room around it.
What is the difference between Blutide Silk and Blutide Lace?
Less than the two names suggest. Both list the same kind of fittings in the same four finishes: basin mixers, a wall mounted trim kit, a bath diverter, a concealed shower mixer, a freestanding bath mixer and kitchen sink mixers. Silk carries the fuller kitchen line up. Beyond that the difference is the shape of the bodies and handles, so compare the product photographs rather than looking for a specification split that is not there.
Does Silk include a matching kitchen tap?
Yes. The range lists a single hole sink mixer, a plain sink mixer, a spray sink mixer and a gooseneck, in the same finishes as the bathroom fittings. That makes it possible to run one look from the basin through to the kitchen sink. If the kitchen is the priority, browse the Blutide kitchen mixers page, which shows every kitchen tap in the catalogue side by side.
What is a concealed mixer trim kit?
It is the visible half of a wall mounted mixer: the handle, the wall plate and any spout that sits with them. The working body is buried in the wall behind it and is listed separately under plumbing and wastes. Order both at the same time and have your plumber confirm the pairing before the chase is closed, since correcting it later means taking up tiling.
Is Silk brass the same as Blutide brushed brass?
They are listed under different names. Silk calls its warm finish Brass, while the Blutide Brushed Brass page collects products whose titles use the words brushed brass, which come from other ranges. The two are not interchangeable on the page, so if you are matching a brass fitting already installed, compare them on screen or ask us to check before mixing ranges.
