Product Information
Full details
The Rea Arcos Concealed Washbasin Faucet is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a minimalist, high-end bathroom aesthetic. Its primary benefit is the wall-mounted installation, which frees up valuable basin space and creates a clean, sophisticated look; however, it requires professional plumbing installation behind the wall, which is more complex than a standard deck-mounted faucet replacement.

FAQs
Can I install this on a standard drywall?
While it can be installed in drywall, you must have adequate structural support and the correct internal plumbing rough-in behind the wall.
Is the gold finish prone to fading?
The Rea Arcos features a durable protective coating designed to resist corrosion and fading under normal household conditions.
What type of basin works best with this faucet?
This faucet is highly versatile and pairs well with both undermount basins and vessel sinks due to its extended spout reach.
How do I access the internal mechanics for repairs?
The mixer is designed for concealed installation. Repairs are typically handled by removing the handle and trim plate to access the internal valve cartridge.
Does the finish require special polish?
No, do not use chemical polishes. A soft cloth and water are sufficient for maintaining the brushed gold surface.
Troubleshooting
Weak water flow
Check the aerator for mineral buildup and clean it gently with a vinegar solution.
Dripping from the spout
The internal cartridge may need adjustment or replacement; consult a professional plumber for access to the concealed valve.
Finish looks dull
Wipe with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove soap scum; do not use chemical metal cleaners.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Saves counter space by utilizing wall-mounted installation
- Brushed gold finish effectively hides water marks and daily fingerprints
- Durable construction ensures resistance to scratching and corrosion
- Versatile design matches multiple interior decor styles
Cons
- Requires significant behind-the-wall plumbing work
- Not suitable for retrofitting without removing existing wall surfaces
- Gold finish requires specific care to maintain original luster
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Arcos concealed mixer must be performed by a qualified plumber, as it requires a built-in installation kit within the wall cavity. Ensure that the wall structure is reinforced to support the pipework before closing the wall.
For care and maintenance, use only a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to clean the brushed gold finish. Avoid using abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the protective coating and dull the finish. Regular drying of the faucet after use will preserve the integrity of the gold tone for years.
