Kitchen Taps Buying Guide

• Assess Your Needs: Consider your daily kitchen tasks and the tap functions that suit you, like pull-out, boiling, or filtered water options to make cooking and cleaning easier.
• Check Compatibility: Ensure the tap fits your sink or worktop, considering hole size, spacing, and water pressure. Most taps work with high-pressure systems; low-pressure setups need special taps.
• Installation Types: Deck-mounted taps fit on your sink or counter and are easy to install. Wall-mounted taps save counter space and offer a modern look, ideal for smaller kitchens.
• Quality & Durability: Choose taps made from quality materials with features like ceramic disc cartridges for leak prevention. Look for warranties of 2 to 5 years for peace of mind.
• Budget: Set a budget, knowing that investing in quality taps means better durability and performance.
• Styles & Features: Kitchen taps come in many styles, mixer, monobloc, single lever, and finishes like chrome or matte black. Features like boiling water and pull-out spouts add convenience.
• Warranty & Support: Pick taps with good warranties and after-sales support for easy installation and reliable service.
