Plug & Waste Traps

Finish off your bathroom design with plug and wastes from Harvey Norman.

Looking to renovate your bathroom or even fit out an entire new home? You have plenty of big decisions to make. While you may have considered what colour of tiles you’re going to pick or perhaps the material of your taps, plug and waste traps might not have been top of your priority list. However, these small devices are a useful part of your plumbing that could save you time and hassle in the future.

So, what are plug and wastes? Plug and wastes are a convenient and stylish way to operate the draining of your basins and baths. Every basin or bath requires a waste outlet to drain water, and when we want to fill up the basin or bath we need something to block the outlet. Whilst previously a separate plug would have been inserted and removed, the waste takes place of both the drain and the plug. This not only conceals your plumbing but adds a sleek finishing touch to your bathroom design.

If you’re thinking about installing plug and wastes in your basins or baths at home, there are a few things to consider. Firstly, the aesthetic look of the waste. It’s advisable to go with a colour and material that matches the rest of your tapware and bathroom accessories. Basin and bath wastes come in a variety of colours including chrome, matt black and plain white to suit plenty of bathroom styles. Secondly, you’ll have to decide whether you’d like a pop up or pop down waste for your basin or bath. In general, pop-up wastes are recommended for basins and pop-down for baths, but they vary depending on the design.
