Choosing the right kitchen tap

Pictured is the BLANCO ELLIPSE tap.

The nucleus of the washing area in today's designer kitchen, the tap has moved on from simply being functional; it has now become an eye-catching feature. After all, it stands tall so everyone sees it!

In a society that craves the latest must-have gadgets, taps have evolved into multi-functional additions to any kitchen. However, there are several points a consumer must consider before purchasing a tap from BLANCO.

Water pressure is the first point as some taps are not suitable in either low or high water pressure areas.

Single-lever or twin-handle taps? Single-lever taps are becoming more and more popular due to their simple and concise shape and the ability to control the temperature and water pressure with just one hand. However, two-handle taps are still popular in the UK and BLANCO stocks a range of traditional designs to suit all kitchens.

An extendable spray hose for a tap that can do more, BLANCO stocks a range of taps that offer extendable spray hoses. Concealed within the spout and made of durable material, this feature offers another level of cleaning. No longer do awkwardly-shaped pots and pans need to be washed in the sink bowl, the pull out spray hose can wash away dirt straight into the drainer. The hose can also be altered from a spray to a jet wash pressure for better cleaning results.

With a focus on healthy living, many people are now considering filter taps. The under-sink cartridges in the filter taps allow for both standard and filtered supply to be combined within one tap. They work by removing potentially harmful chemicals and toxins while maintaining a balanced pH in the filtered drinking water.

The BLANCO Filtra Flow models offer consumers the opportunity to experience top quality filtered water.

Many consumers are now looking to purchase window-friendly taps that allow full use of both at the same time. BLANCO offers a range of both retractable and detachable taps to suit all styles when looking to buy a compatible tap for their window space. The Eloscope-F 11 is one example.

BLANCO CombiColoursfor a luxurious designer touch, BLANCO's colour range offers a chance to personalise a kitchen space. The exciting range of BLANCO's Silgranit® colours is available to either match or contrast the sink and tap area for a truly deluxe finish to any kitchen.
