How to choose the right tap for your kitchen

From washing the dishes to making hot drinks, you probably use your tap more than any other item in your kitchen. So choosing the right one is vital. Read on to find out about the different kitchen tap types available and what you should consider in terms of style and functionality.

Multifunctional taps

Multifunctional kitchen taps are transforming how we access water at home, offering a variety of benefits that go far beyond standard hot and cold water. From 3-in-1 models to advanced 6-in-1 designs, with options for both manual and electronic operation, these taps provide filtered water in various forms, including instant boiling, chilled, ambient and even sparkling. Having access to this range of options brings added convenience and flexibility to everyday tasks. Whether you’re making a quick cup of tea, preparing and cleaning vegetables, getting pasta or rice on the go, sterilising babies’ bottles and dummies, or simply enjoying a refreshing glass of filtered water, these taps not only save time and free up worktop space, but can also help conserve both water and energy.

Switching to multifunctional taps means no more waiting for the kettle to boil or relying on purchased bottled water for that perfect chilled or sparkling refreshment. These taps streamline daily routines, making it easier to enjoy purified water instantly while contributing to a more eco-friendly home environment.

Pull-Out taps

The Icon Pull-Out Matte Black Tap features an adjustable pull-out spray with single- or dual-jet options.

Ideal if you want more manoeuvrability around your sink, pull-out kitchen taps allow you to quickly switch between bowls and make it easier to lift bulky pots and pans in and out.

Other important considerations

Water pressure 

Before buying your new kitchen tap, find out if your home has a high or low pressure water system – your plumber or installer can advise you if you’re not sure – as this will impact what sort of tap you should choose to ensure it performs at its best. 

Finish

Once you’ve chosen the style of tap you want, take time to explore the various finishes available. While polished Chrome remains the most popular, there’s now an array of other stunning finishes to consider. From solid Stainless Steel, which combines beauty and durability, to Matte Black, Anthracite, Copper and Gold, as well as many other options, you can find the perfect finish to complement or contrast with your sink's style and colour. This allows you to create either a cohesive look or an eclectic mix of finishes that suits your kitchen design.

Measuring up

Most of our taps are designed to fit the industry standard cut-out size of 35mm diameter. However, if you’re fitting your new tap onto your existing sink or worktop, always measure the size of your tap hole to make sure you have a perfect fit. 

Sustainable home solutions

If you’re looking to save on your utility bills and be more eco-friendly, opt for taps with eco cartridges and temperature limiters. You can reduce your water consumption by up to 50% with our Active Tap range thanks to our innovative ECO-Cartridge, which is available on a variety of models across our kitchen tap range.    

Solid Stainless Steel taps make for an excellent sustainable design choice because not only are they long-lasting, but they are also produced from recycled material and are recyclable at the end of their lifespan.

Guaranteed to last

Whichever style of kitchen tap you choose, it’s worth investing in a high-quality product that will last for many years to come. We would always recommend you look for models backed by a manufacturer’s warranty for that extra peace of mind.

Choosing the right kitchen tap will enhance your daily routine and elevate your space. Whether you prefer the versatility of a multifunctional tap or the practicality of a pull-out spray, focus on your style and practical needs. Consider your home’s water pressure, select a complementary finish and opt for eco-friendly features. With these elements in mind, you'll not only upgrade your kitchen’s functionality but also create a more sustainable and stylish home.
