Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Loop and Lever handle options?
The Metropol range is unique in offering three handle styles on essentially the same valve body: Loop (a closed circular handle), Lever (a single horizontal paddle) and Select (a push-button on top, no traditional handle). Loop reads architectural and is the signature Metropol look, particularly popular in Johannesburg new-builds. Lever is more familiar and ergonomic for elderly users or households with mixed dexterity. Select is the most minimal, ideal for guest bathrooms and powder rooms. All three control flow and temperature identically, so the choice is purely aesthetic and ergonomic.
What warranty cover does Hansgrohe offer on Metropol?
The Metropol range carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty against material and finish defects under normal household use, when installed by a qualified plumber. Replacement cartridges, handles and aerators stay available for at least 15 years after a product is discontinued, so your bathroom investment stays serviceable for the lifetime of the room. Bella Bathrooms & Tiles handles warranty claims directly with Hansgrohe South Africa, removing any back-and-forth burden from you. Standard exclusions apply for damage from abrasive cleaners or installation errors.
How do wall-mounted Metropol basin mixers install?
The wall-mounted Metropol basin mixers (165mm and 225mm spout projections) are paired with a Hansgrohe iBox Universal concealed rough-in body fitted inside the wall cavity, with the spout and handle projecting through the finished wall surface. The cavity needs to be at least 80mm deep, and the rough-in must be set at the correct height (typically 30 to 40mm above the basin rim) before tiling. Coordinate this with your plumber at first fix. The advantage is a striking architectural look with no visible pipework or hot-and-cold tails.
Will Metropol taps work on South African water pressure?
Yes. Metropol is engineered to run comfortably across the 1 to 5 bar range typical of South African homes, with the internal ceramic cartridge tolerating both gravity-fed low pressure (1 bar) and higher municipal supplies. The Select push-button models in particular need at least 1.5 bar to actuate cleanly, so if your home runs at the very bottom of the range, choose Loop or Lever instead. Standard 15mm inlets connect to existing copper or PEX plumbing. A pressure-reducing valve is recommended for supplies above 5 bar.
Which finishes work best for the Metropol look?
Metropol's geometric circular forms read strongest in single-tone finishes that emphasise the silhouette. Polished Chrome (the volume choice) is timeless and easiest to maintain. Matt Black is the architectural specification, popular in contemporary Kramerville builds where the tap reads as a graphic element against light walls. Polished Gold Optic and Brushed Bronze suit warmer, luxury-leaning schemes. Avoid mixing Metropol finishes within a single bathroom; the strength of the design language comes from consistency. Our consultants can confirm finish availability across the full Metropol family.
What is the Hansgrohe Metropol range?
Metropol is a Hansgrohe bathroom tap collection defined by geometric, parallel and linear shapes. Its bold, angular styling makes it a strong choice for contemporary bathrooms where a precise, architectural look is wanted. It is designed to coordinate across the basin, bath and shower for a consistent appearance.
What products are available in the Metropol range?
The range covers a wide selection of washbasin mixers in different ComfortZone spout heights, including taller versions for washbowls, plus three-hole basin mixers, concealed wall-mounted basin taps, bath and shower mixers and bidet mixers. This means you can fit out an entire bathroom in one coordinated look. Availability of individual items can vary, so check with Bella Bathrooms for current stock.
What handle options does Metropol offer?
Metropol is well known for giving a choice of handle styles across the collection, including a lever handle and a loop handle, with Select push-button operation available on certain mixers and shower products. This lets you pick the operating style that best suits how you use the tap. The available handle depends on the specific model.
What finishes and colours does Metropol come in?
Metropol is offered in several Hansgrohe FinishPlus surfaces. These typically include polished chrome alongside on-trend options such as matt black, brushed bronze and polished gold-optic. Finish availability differs by model and market, so confirm the exact colour with Bella Bathrooms.
Is the Metropol range water-saving?
Many Metropol basin mixers use Hansgrohe EcoSmart technology, which limits the flow rate to help reduce water and energy use without a noticeable drop in comfort. This can lower running costs over time. Water-saving specifications vary between individual models.
What is ComfortZone on Metropol taps?
ComfortZone refers to the usable space between the spout and the basin. Metropol basin mixers come in a range of spout heights so you can match the tap to your basin or washbowl and have comfortable room to wash your hands. Taller versions such as the 260 are intended for freestanding wash bowls.
How do I install a Metropol tap?
Most Metropol basin mixers are single-hole deck-mounted fittings supplied with flexible connection hoses, while other versions are made for three-hole basins or concealed wall mounting with a separate built-in body. Concealed and wall-mounted options require rough-in work behind the wall. We recommend installation by a qualified plumber and always following the supplied Hansgrohe instructions.
How do I clean and care for Metropol taps?
Wipe the tap with a soft, damp cloth and a little mild soap, then dry it, avoiding abrasive or acidic cleaners that can damage the finish. Many models include a QuickClean aerator, letting you rub away limescale from the spray outlet by hand. Regular gentle cleaning keeps the FinishPlus surface looking its best.
Are spare parts and a warranty available for Metropol?
Metropol taps are covered by the Hansgrohe manufacturer's warranty, and replacement parts such as cartridges and aerators are available so the tap can be serviced over its life. You can register your product and find spare-part information at hansgrohe.com. For claims or parts in South Africa, contact Bella Bathrooms.
What other pieces coordinate with Metropol?
Because the whole range shares the same geometric design language, you can match the basin mixer with bath and shower mixers, bidet mixers and thermostats from the Metropol line. Pairing these creates a unified look throughout the bathroom. Hansgrohe accessories can further complete the scheme.
