The bathroom is no longer just a functional space—it’s a reflection of style, comfort, and personality. Whether you’re renovating, upgrading, or building a new home, choosing the right tapware, showers, and accessories can transform the space into a sanctuary. The Phoenix Cromford Collection, available now at Burdens Bathrooms, offers a perfect balance of industrial heritage and contemporary design, bringing timeless elegance to any bathroom.
The Story Behind the Cromford Collection
The Cromford Collection takes its name from Cromford, England, widely regarded as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. This nod to history is evident in the collection’s design—pared-back forms, functional engineering, and subtle references to industrial aesthetics. Yet, it’s not just about heritage. Phoenix’s in-house design team has thoughtfully modernised these elements, creating tapware, showers, and accessories that feel contemporary, practical, and stylish.
Its industrial-inspired designs are versatile enough to suit both modern farmhouse interiors and urban lofts, making it a popular choice for homeowners and designers alike. The Cromford Collection even won an iF Design Award in 2023 for innovation and excellence in industrial design, confirming its international recognition and appeal.
Why the Cromford Collection Stands Out
1. Industrial Heritage Meets Contemporary Design
The Cromford Collection’s aesthetic draws inspiration from the mechanical and structural innovations of the Industrial Revolution, featuring:
-
Clean, uncomplicated lines
-
Functional, ergonomic handles and spouts
-
Subtle detailing that hints at historical craftsmanship
This combination ensures that Cromford tapware and accessories make a bold statement without overwhelming your bathroom design. Its versatility allows it to complement both classic and modern interiors seamlessly.
2. Award-Winning Design
Phoenix’s attention to detail and innovation has been internationally recognised. Winning the iF Design Award for Industrial Design demonstrates the collection’s excellence in both aesthetics and functionality. Each piece is engineered to combine beauty with practicality, offering long-lasting durability and premium performance.
3. Premium Materials and Finishes
Cromford products are crafted using high-quality brass construction and finished to the highest standards. Available in a variety of finishes, the collection ensures a cohesive and elegant look:
-
Chrome: Sleek and polished, perfect for a modern bathroom
-
Brushed Nickel: Soft and versatile, pairing well with natural materials
-
Brushed Gold: Adds warmth and luxury to the space
-
Brushed Carbon: Bold and contemporary, ideal for monochrome or industrial-style interiors
These finishes not only look luxurious but are also durable, scratch-resistant, and built to last.
4. Full Range of Tapware, Showers, and Accessories
The Cromford Collection is more than just taps—it’s a complete bathroom solution. This means you can create a cohesive look from basin to bath and shower, including:
-
Basin Mixers: Single or dual handles, designed for smooth operation and precise control
-
Wall and Bath Mixers: Functional, stylish, and available in SwitchMix-compatible options for future flexibility
-
Showers: Overhead showers, handpieces, and twin shower systems, all designed for ease of installation and reliability
-
Accessories: Coordinated towel rails, robe hooks, toilet roll holders, and shelves to match the collection’s aesthetic
With a complete suite of products, Cromford allows you to achieve a unified, high-end look throughout your bathroom.
