Gio Malta: square mixers with accessories to match
Malta is one of the broader ranges Gio puts out, because it covers taps and bathroom accessories under a single name. The 33 Malta products listed here split almost evenly, seventeen taps and mixers against sixteen wall fittings, which makes it useful for a whole room rather than one replacement. Malta is listed under the Gio Bella Imports vendor name, and the brand is sold as both Gio and Gio Bella.
What the tap side covers
The Malta tap listings run from short and tall basin mixers through wall mounted and concealed bath and shower mixers, freestanding bath mixers, bidet mixers and kitchen sink mixers. Almost all of them carry the word square in the product title, with a single round kitchen sink mixer among them. If you want the same coverage in round, Torino spans much the same set of items, and the full Gio taps listing shows every range together.
The accessories that go with them
On the accessory side Malta covers a paper holder, single and double spare-roll holders, a glass shelf, a double robe hook, a soap dish, a shower soap holder, a towel ring, a towel rack, a toilet brush holder and towel rails at 690mm in both single and double. That is the usual set of wall fittings for a bathroom, so a Malta room can be finished without pulling from another range.
If you need one category rather than a whole range, the store also groups Gio fittings by type. The towel rails and paper holders pages sit with the full Gio bathroom accessories listing.
Finishes, and what to check before you order
Finish is set per listing, not picked as an option, so a black fitting and its plain counterpart are separate products. Black appears on the Malta paper holder, spare-roll holder, glass shelf and robe hook, and on much of the tap side; chrome is named on two of the mixers. Several accessories state no finish in the title, so read the product page before ordering. To plan black across a full room, start from the Gio black page, and the other ranges sit under Gio Bella.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Gio Malta range?
Malta is one of the few Gio ranges that covers both taps and accessories. The 33 products listed here are seventeen taps and mixers, covering short and tall basin mixers, wall mounted and concealed bath and shower mixers, freestanding bath mixers, bidet mixers and kitchen sink mixers, and sixteen wall fittings, covering towel rails, a towel rack, a towel ring, paper holders, a glass shelf, a robe hook, a soap dish, a shower soap holder and a toilet brush holder.
Are Gio Malta taps square or round?
Square, in almost every case. Nearly all the Malta tap and mixer titles state a square profile, and the one exception is a round kitchen sink mixer. If you want a round profile throughout, the Gio Torino range covers a very similar set of taps and accessories in round form, so the two ranges are worth comparing directly before you commit to either.
Does the Malta range come in black?
Partly. Black is named on the Malta paper holder, the spare-roll holder, the glass shelf and the double robe hook, and on a good share of the taps and mixers. Other accessories, including the towel rails, towel ring, soap dish and toilet brush holder, carry no finish in the product title, so check the individual listing rather than assuming the whole range is available in black.
Can I match Malta accessories to Malta taps?
That is the point of buying by range. Because Malta spans both taps and wall fittings, the basin mixer, the bath mixer and the towel rail can all come from the same family instead of being assembled from three ranges. Where a finish is stated in the title on both sides, matching is straightforward. Where it is not stated, compare the product images before ordering.
What is the difference between Gio Malta and Gio Torino?
Mainly the profile. Both ranges cover taps and bathroom accessories, and both include basin mixers, bath and shower mixers, freestanding bath mixers, kitchen mixers, towel rails, paper holders and a glass shelf. Malta is described as square through almost the whole tap side, Torino as round. Malta adds bidet mixers and a towel rack; Torino carries towel rails in more lengths and a shower rack.
