Kitchen Faucet

Factors to Consider When Buying a Kitchen Faucet

You may want to pair a deep kitchen sink basin with a tall faucet to comfortably clean large pots after cooking. However low-hanging shelves above the sink may limit the height options you have when installing a new tap.

Lever-handle taps look sleek and are easy to operate, but knob-handle taps offer a more classic look for your kitchen.

Double handles offer a nice symmetry to mixer faucets, but single handles are more convenient when adjusting water pressure and temperature. There are even touchless faucets that produce water with the wave of a hand, for greater efficiency when washing up.

The most common kitchen tap is chrome-finished, with a U shaped spout — a sleek aesthetic that goes well with most kitchen designs. 

To make a statement with this kitchen fixture, there are different coloured taps to consider too. You may opt for a black faucet for a bold look or a rustic looking nickel-finished one. L shaped spouts are also a popular choice for those who prefer a more modern, angular look.
