Tapware for Tough Coastal Conditions – Vivid Slimline SS by Phoenix

The new Vivid Slimline SS is the evolution of the Vivid Slimline Collection from Phoenix Tapware. SS features the same quality and timeless aesthetic that Phoenix’s clients have come to love, while taking its designer kitchen and bathroom products to a whole new arena — the outdoors.

As homeowners increasingly recognise their outdoor areas as an extension of their living space, the need for suitable tapware has risen. Phoenix has addressed this unique requirement while integrating the award-winning design standards it has delivered indoors over the past 30 years.

The product’s evolution lies within its fabrication. After a year of rigorous testing, the new SS was born utilising 316 marine-grade stainless steel, a material suited to fend off even the harshest outdoor conditions. The 316 marine-grade finish offers superior corrosion resistance when compared to other types of steel, notably the more common 304 grade. This defense is especially important when exposed to salt or seawater and, as approximately 80% of Australians live on or near the coast, there is no shortage of local applications.

The new SS was born utilising 316 marine-grade stainless steel, a finish which is suitable to fend off even the harshest outdoor conditions.

SS is particularly aimed at outdoor kitchens, showers and other coastal residential areas where it is important to choose materials that are tough enough to withstand the elements while still low maintenance enough to easily clean. For added assurance, the SS comes with a remarkable lifetime warranty on this finish, in addition to a 15 year warranty period on its cartridge, seven year warranty on product and parts and one year on labour.

Not only durable, the product is also aesthetically considered. Like the original Vivid Slimline collection, SS features an architecturally slender profile and a thin, extended pin lever which is a perfect accompaniment to any contemporary space.  “Vivid Slimline SS is a celebration of the raw material and is designed to echo the craftsmanship and texture of 316 stainless steel,” says Phoenix Senior Designer Ban Liu.

The sleek SS style is repeated across a range of taps and mixers for outdoor showers, sinks, bathtubs and wash tubs in a variety of dimensions. There are seven products available in the collection, including a Basin Mixer, Vessel Mixer, Wall Basin/Bath Outlet, Gooseneck Sink Mixer, Shower/Wall Mixer, and Shower Arm.
