What the Monza series is within the IMEX catalog
Monza is one of IMEX's bathroom faucet series, identifiable by its straight-line design and cylindrical body, and by the use of the same 25 mm ceramic cartridge throughout the range—a size larger than the 20 mm cartridges found in entry-level faucets, which in practice translates into a firmer lever and slower wear with daily use. By covering the washbasin, bidet, and shower with the same finish, it allows you to equip a complete bathroom without mixing different design families across the various water points.
Monza washbasin faucets
The washbasin range includes three formats: the standard countertop single-lever, the "high" version with an elevated spout (more comfortable for deep basins or filling containers), and the wall-mounted version without a concealed box, designed for installations where the faucet body is hidden in the wall and only the spout and handle are visible. All three formats share the same 25 mm ceramic cartridge and are available in several of the series' five finishes.
Monza bidet faucets
The Monza bidet faucet is a compact single-lever mixer with the same 25 mm cartridge as the rest of the series, available with or without a click-clack waste, depending on the finish. By sharing design and finish with the washbasin, it is the natural choice to complete the water point without breaking the visual coherence of the bathroom.
Monza shower: thermostatic faucet with handheld shower and hose
For the shower, Monza offers a thermostatic set with a handheld shower and hose, distinct from a simple single-lever mixer: the thermostat automatically regulates the hot and cold water mix to maintain a stable temperature even if the network pressure changes, which is especially useful in homes with multiple water points in use simultaneously. There is also a thermostatic faucet version for bathtubs and showers, designed for installations that combine both uses at the same point.
Monza shower column
The Monza shower column incorporates the thermostatic faucet integrated into a stainless steel structure, with an adjustable height version in a brushed rose gold finish. It is the option to choose when you want a complete shower set (column, shower head, and thermostat) in a single product, rather than combining separate pieces.
| Zone | Available format | Cartridge |
|---|---|---|
| Washbasin | Standard, high, wall-mounted without concealed box | 25 mm Ceramic |
| Bidet | Compact single-lever | 25 mm Ceramic |
| Shower | Thermostatic with handheld shower and hose | Thermostatic |
| Bathtub and shower | Thermostatic | Thermostatic |
| Shower column | Stainless steel structure with integrated thermostat | Thermostatic |
How to choose the finish
The five Monza finishes (chrome, matte black, brushed gold, brushed rose gold, and black gun metal) are not available equally across all models: chrome and matte black are the most widely available throughout the range, while brushed rose gold and black gun metal appear mainly in washbasin, bidet, and shower models. Before purchasing several pieces for the same bathroom, it is advisable to check the product sheet for each item to ensure that the chosen finish is available for all the water points you wish to equip, as not all finishes cover the entire catalog of the series.
Frequently asked questions
Do all Monza faucets use the same cartridge?
Washbasin and bidet models share the same 25 mm ceramic cartridge. Shower sets and shower columns use a thermostatic cartridge, which is distinct in its function as it regulates temperature and not just flow rate.
Can I combine the Monza washbasin with a bidet from another series?
Yes, there is no technical restriction, but if you are looking for visual coherence in the bathroom, it is advisable to maintain the same series and finish across all visible water points.
Does the wall-mounted washbasin version require construction work?
Yes, being a wall-mounted installation without a concealed box, it requires preparing the connection in the wall before laying the tiles, just like any other wall-mounted faucet.
What is the difference between the Monza shower set and the shower column?
The shower set with a handheld shower and hose is installed over already tiled walls and requires an existing water connection; the shower column is a complete stainless steel structure that integrates the thermostat, designed for installations where you want to resolve the shower setup with a single piece.
