The finish of your tap depends entirely on the style of your kitchen as a whole. Kitchen fixtures are often finished in chrome or stainless-steel finishes. However, more quirky finishes have risen in popularity recently as rose gold and matt black taps have dominated in kitchen interior design. If you want to set your kitchen apart from others, these are the finishes you should look into.
Choosing the right taps is the key to having a functional kitchen space. They may not be the largest fixture but they certainly catch attention. As we often say, it is usually the smallest fixtures that can make the biggest difference, so it is worth giving them consideration. In this buyer’s guide, we will discuss your options so you can find the perfect taps for your kitchen.
Understanding your home’s water pressure is imperative as it will help you find a suitable tap. If you choose an incompatible tap it may seem as though your tap is faulty. However, it isn’t the tap that isn’t performing, it just operates effectively with a different water system.
Low pressure systems - if you have a cold-water tank and a hot water cylinder in your home it is likely that you have a low-pressure system. If you have a low-pressure water system, then you will need to choose a tap that is designed to work at a low pressure to ensure a steady flow of water.
High pressure vented system - take a look in your kitchen; does it have a combination boiler? If so, you probably have a high pressure vented system. These boilers are fed directly with mains pressure cold water, which is quickly heated and pumped around your home. You can choose any type of tap for this system.
High pressure unvented system - this is where you will only have a hot water tank. Water is held at mains pressure and then heated by immersion heaters. These are located at the side of the tank or boiler. Most kitchen taps can be used with this system.
