Why Summer Is the Season That Tests Your Outdoor Fittings
Every Australian summer puts outdoor tapware and fixtures through their paces. Harsh UV, salty coastal air, chlorine from the pool, and constant use from backyard entertaining will find the weak point in anything not built for the outdoors.
316 Stainless Steel: The Standard for Anything Outside
If there is one rule worth following for outdoor fittings in Australia, it is this: insist on marine-grade 316 stainless steel. It resists corrosion far better than the 304 grade found in many standard indoor tapware ranges, which matters when a fitting is facing weather, pool chemicals or coastal salt air.
Outdoor Showers for After the Beach, the Pool or a Hard Day's Work
An outdoor shower earns its keep all summer long, rinsing off sand after a beach day, chlorine after the pool, or dust and sweat after a day working outside. The Linkware Elle 316 Free Standing Twin Shower is a strong option if you want a self-contained unit that does not need to be fixed to a wall. If you already have a wall to mount to, the Linkware Elle 316 Overhead Shower is a simpler, more affordable way to add an outdoor rinse-off point, while the Linkware Elle 316 Twin Shower on Rail adds a handheld option alongside the overhead spray. All three come in finishes including brushed stainless, matt black, gunmetal and brushed gold.
