Astra Walker’s latest sensor tap collection responds to the needs of today, providing contactless hand hygiene in a beautiful package.

The sleek curves of the products hide cutting edge capacitive technology, which is activated by the proximity of an electric charge in the human body. Unlike infrared sensors that can be frustrating to trigger, this technology is highly responsive and creates a seamless experience. After use, the taps will return to stand-by mode as soon as hands are removed, which also means no wasted water.

An Australian company, Astra Walker has focused on innovative tapware technology since its formation in 2001. The products are designed for flow of movement and a sleek hand-feel that matches their high level of technical function. Available in a range of finishes, the capacitive sensor tap continues Astra Walker’s emphasis on providing solutions to modern-day problems within aesthetically pleasing, intuitive forms.
