People pay a lot of attention when it comes to designing their kitchens. And when it comes to selecting kitchen taps, there a quite few choices that are there at your disposal. There are many considerations that you need to take in to account. Appropriate taps can be chosen on the basis of functionality, pricing, design aesthetics, size and other factors as well.

We have a vast array of vintage brands to cater to your every whim. The collection will help you choose the most defining kitchen faucets which not only work well but also help enhance the look of the whole kitchen. Some of the popular kitchen taps at our disposal include Bristan, Mayfair, Grohe, Franke, Crosswater and Hansgrohe.

Popular types of Kitchen Taps 

Single Lever taps: These taps come with a single lever and water temperature can be regulated by moving the lever towards the right or the left. The pressure of water that gets released from the tap can be controlled by moving the lever upwards.

Bib taps: These kinds of kitc
hen taps are usually wall mounted and come in separate pairs for hot and cold water.

Pillar taps: These taps consists of a common spout with a handle fitted at the top. Two taps are fitted to it and regulation of hot and cold water can be made by using the handle appropriately.

Bridge Taps:  They are of the more traditional variety that incorporates the use of levers or with taps that are screwed down to faucet.

Pull out spray heads: These are becoming hugely popular and are specially requested by a lot of customers as they come in specially useful while rinsing. The spray heads can be used to control the direction of water flow and makes it easier to wash food products and other items. The water also can be made to come at a high pressure which is very useful while cleaning the sink.

Factors to consider while buying kitchen taps: - 

  • The number of holes that are there in your sink 
  • If you are just looking to buy new kitchen taps with your old sink intact then take into account the number of holes that feature in the sink. For example a bridge type of kitchen tap would require more than one hole to be fitted and hence make an appropriate decision to that effect. 
  • Choose the kind of handles/levers you prefer
  • Handles for kitchen taps need to be chosen after careful consideration over several factors as preference. Lever taps as usually the easiest to use and generally blend in thematically in most universal kitchens. There are also other choices such as the cylindrical silhouettes, round and X shaped taps that can really help enhance the look of your kitchen.


Styling 

This is another prerequisite now days. The choice of kitchen taps selected should be able to blend in with the design of the entire kitchen. It should match with the cabinet hardware and the entire kitchen should have an elegant and streamlined look.
