Frequently asked questions about the Kitchen taps category

What are Kitchen taps and what functions do they perform?

Kitchen taps — are plumbing fittings for supplying and controlling water at the sink, available as single-lever, dual-handle, pull-out/pull-down spray, touchless and filtered models. They mix hot and cold water, ease filling of pots and pans, and often include features like pull-out spouts, spray modes and aerators for water saving.

What are the benefits of kitchen taps with a flexible spout?

Flexible-spout taps let you direct the water flow at different angles, ideal for large pots and double sinks. These models typically use a silicone or flexible metal hose and offer aerated and spray modes to simplify rinsing and sink cleaning.

How do Grohe and Hansgrohe kitchen taps differ and which should I choose?

Grohe and Hansgrohe are reputable European brands: Grohe focuses on durable cartridges and classic design, while Hansgrohe emphasises spray technology and ergonomic features. Choose based on preferred design, spout type (pull-out, high-arch, fixed) and features like touchless operation or specific spray modes.

Which Blanco and Franke models suit built-in sinks?

Blanco and Franke offer high-arch and swivel taps, such as Franke Lina and Blanco pull-out models, suitable for built-in sinks. Check that the tap height and swivel radius match your sink dimensions and that the installation hole (commonly 35 mm) is compatible.

Which is better for a modern kitchen: single-lever or double-handle taps?

Single-lever taps are more practical for quick temperature control and suit most modern kitchens. Double-handle taps offer a classic look and finer control but are less convenient for frequent everyday use.

How to choose a pull-out kitchen tap for a double-bowl sink?

Choose a tap with a swivel range of about 120–360° to reach both bowls and a sufficiently long hose. Look for a magnetic dock, robust hose length and spray modes (spray/aerated) for easier rinsing and cleaning.

Which tap body materials are most durable and hygienic?

Brass bodies with chrome, matte or PVD finishes are durable, corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. Stainless steel bodies and ceramic cartridges also improve longevity and hygienic performance.

Which models suit a professional kitchen and barista-style coffee prep?

High-arch taps with swivel spouts, such as Franke professional lines, suit barista-style setups due to robust construction and higher flow. Look for strong cartridges, long-lasting hoses and pull-out nozzles for filling milk jugs and espresso equipment.

How to choose spout height and reach for sink and worktop?

Choose a spout height that allows large pots underneath, typically 200–350 mm from the mounting surface. The reach should cover the whole bowl; for large sinks select a reach of 200 mm or more.

What water-saving features are found in kitchen taps?

Water-saving features include aerators, flow restrictors and economical spray modes that reduce consumption without losing pressure. Many taps come with built-in aerators and cartridges with flow limiters to lower water use.
