What is the best kitchen tap?

Whether because you are remodeling your home, because you need to change your tap or because you just feel like it, choosing the best kitchen tap may not be an easy task.

Therefore, today we are going to give you the keys to choose the one that suits you better with no chance of failure.

First, we need to think about where we are going to place the tap.

Countertop taps

This type of tap is the most typical and the most sold.

Wall-mounted taps

The tap comes out of the wall and the spout is located over the sink. This is due to the fact that the water intakes are higher, so it would only require a small construction job to lower the tap to the countertop.

Now that we know where we will place our kitchen tap, we must decide how its release system will be.

Single lever tap

We are talking about a single handle to regulate the water flow and temperature. They are the most sold because we can adjust both the temperature and the flow in one move, so they are very comfortable and useful.

Two-handle tap

By having two handles to regulate the water and temperature, although it is much more efficient to regulate the exact temperature, we spend much more water and energy. These taps are not recommended if you are looking for a water-saving tap.

We have already chosen 2 very important aspects of our kitchen tap. But…

Do we know what kind of spout we want?

• High spout: we have more space when working with large and heavy objects, such as pots and pans.
• Removable spout: this type of spout can be removed and we can move it as we wish with total freedom. It is very useful and much more comfortable to use.
• Folding spout: it can be moved forward, being folded inside the sink. It is the most convenient type if our faucet is in front of a window. In this way, we will be able to open it with no problems.
• Swivel spout: very convenient when we have two sinks, this way we can cover much more space.
• Spring spout: this faucet is flexible and its design is inspired by professional kitchen faucets. The spring allows to mold the faucet very easily.

The material of our kitchen tap may not seem important, but we’ll tell you the advantages of each one below.

• Stainless steel: very hygienic material as it has antibacterial properties. It is resistant and durable.
• Chrome: usually brass or chrome. If you are looking for a more modern decoration, this is the finish for you. You will have to dry the water drops left in the faucet after each use if you want it to last a long time and at the same time you will have to use soft products for its cleaning and maintenance.

The last step in choosing the best kitchen tap is the accessories.

• Aerator: it reduces the water flow rate. This system mixes air with the water, allowing less liters of water to fall without noticing the difference.
• Flow reducers: reduce the water flow without varying the pressure at which it exits.
