Kitchen sink taps

What do you personally need from a kitchen tap?

To make sure your sink tap not only looks good but also performs its main function properly, keep an eye on the following factors:

• Tap compatibility with the sink (both design and functionality)
• The position of the water supply connection
• The practicality of the chosen tap (not just its appearance)
• Enough space for the kitchen tap – especially if your sink is placed under a window
• The diameter of the mounting hole

Types of sink taps by installation method

The installation method is the first criterion you should pay attention to, especially during a renovation. According to the way they are installed, they can be divided into:

• Wall-mounted kitchen taps: Installed directly on the wall above the sink. They are a common choice in apartment buildings or older properties.
• Concealed kitchen taps: A modern option where the main body is hidden in the wall, creating a very elegant look. However, installation is much more demanding – you will need a concealed bodie.
• Deck-mounted kitchen taps: The most popular solution today. This sink tap is installed either directly into the hole in the sink or into the worktop next to it. It can be single-hole with integrated controls, or multi-hole.

A specific solution is pull-out or fold-down sink taps, which are ideal when the sink is installed under a window. Thanks to them, you can open the window comfortably without the tap getting in the way.

Please note: If you are looking for a specific sink tap, always check the spacing in advance (for wall-mounted versions) or the installation hole diameter.

Technical details that make installation easier

Choosing a kitchen tap does not end with the design. It is also important to check technical parameters such as the mounting hole diameter, which usually ranges from 33 mm to 40 mm. 

Whatever type of kitchen tap you are looking for, you will always find precise dimensioned drawings in our product details for trouble-free installation.

A quality cartridge: the heart of every sink tap

When choosing, do not forget to look beneath the surface. The most important component every kitchen tap has is the ceramic cartridge. This discreet mechanism inside the tap body is responsible for the precise mixing of hot and cold water.

To make sure your sink tap serves you for many years without dripping, we recommend choosing precisely made ceramic cartridges. With cheaper models that have plastic inner parts, the control often becomes stiff or loose over time. 

A high-quality internal mechanism is the foundation for ensuring your sink tap works like new even after many years of use.

Features that bring real benefits

Today’s kitchen taps can do much more than just run water. They are smart helpers that save you time and effort. The most popular features include:

• Sink taps with a pull-out spray: They work like an extended arm. You can easily fill a tall pot on the worktop or rinse dirt from the corners of the sink.
• Flexible sink tap: Thanks to a spout that can be shaped as needed, handling water becomes максимально free and convenient.
• Kitchen taps with a filter: If you want tasty, clean water at home without buying bottled water, a filtration system is the obvious choice.
• Sink taps with water heating: Instant boiling water for tea or pasta? With technology such as GROHE Red, it is a reality.
• Sink taps with water cooling: The ideal solution if you want cold, refreshing water on hand straight from the tap whenever you need it. These taps often combine cooling with filtration, and selected models also offer sparkling water.

In addition, every kitchen tap in our range is equipped with a water-saving aerator that ensures a smooth stream of water without unnecessary splashing, while also saving your money.

Sink tap controls and design: match your kitchen to perfection

The control method has a major impact on your everyday comfort. That is why single-lever sink taps are now the most common choice – mainly thanks to their practicality and intuitive use. 

And what about appearance? A kitchen tap no longer has to be just silver. Today’s trends include:

• Black sink tap: Creates a great contrast with a light-coloured worktop.
• White sink tap: A timeless and discreet choice that visually lightens the kitchen and pairs beautifully with light-coloured as well as granite sinks.
• Bronze or gold sink tap: Adds a touch of luxury to the kitchen.
• PVD finishes: A top-tier technology that makes the surface up to 3× harder and extremely resistant to scratches.

For granite sinks, we recommend choosing a kitchen sink tap in a matching colour finish so the overall look feels cohesive. Not sure how to pair the right sink and tap? Take a look at a compatible sink and kitchen tap set – with that, you definitely cannot go wrong.
