Types of Brisbane Kitchen Taps

Brisbane kitchen taps come in an assortment of styles. There are touchless models, those featuring gooseneck spouts and those equipped with filters. There are even ceramic disc-based taps designed to reduce drippy conditions.

Before replacing your tap, be sure to switch off all mains water and gather all necessary tools.

Mixer Taps

Mixer taps are one of the most widely-used types of kitchen tapware in Australia, featuring one spout that mixes hot and cold water before being controlled by a lever which you can move up or down to control the flow of water.

Basin mixer taps come in an assortment of sizes, finishes and features to meet every budget and style preference. Modern designs often offer sleek minimalist styles which complement modern kitchens perfectly.

Though changing taps isn’t a difficult process, it is vital that all necessary tools and supplies are available before beginning this task. You will also need to turn off your water source before beginning and remove existing faucets before installing new ones. Cleaning the sink and surrounding areas beforehand will help avoid potential damages while providing the best results possible.

Gooseneck Taps

Gooseneck taps, known for their tall and curved design, offer plenty of extra room above the sink basin, making it easier to wash larger pots and pans that wouldn’t fit under a regular faucet. Furthermore, these versatile faucets make an excellent addition in kitchens with limited bench space.

Gooseneck faucets feature a flexible hose that can be pulled out for easier washing of larger items or reaching into corners where standard faucets have difficulty. Furthermore, they make an eye-catching statement in modern kitchens and come in an assortment of finishes and colours to complete the look.

Though it might seem obvious, taps have a huge influence on the appearance of your kitchen. By selecting styles, colours and finishes that complement each other perfectly, your taps can add an extra splash of style that will impress guests when entertaining guests in your space.

Filter Water Taps

Water filters can be an excellent solution for those living in areas where their drinking water may contain microorganisms or chemicals that pose no immediate health threat, yet can leave stains, smell unpleasant and cause issues like hardness which impede soapy bubbles or cause scale build-up on appliances.

Water filtration systems provide a solution for these issues and can be easily installed under your sink in various tap styles for an artisan look or classic chrome finishes. They work by passing clean water through a carbon filter which removes contaminants such as lead and mercury from its source, eliminating these potential health concerns.

Taqua built-in water filter taps meet Australian standards by not including lead components that could come into contact with filtered or tap water, unlike most faucets which use C3604BD brass components that may leach up to 2% lead into your drinking water supply.

Single Handle Taps

Installing a quality kitchen tap can save both time and money. Not only can it prevent unnecessary water wastage and food wastage, it is also great way to ensure the kitchen remains tidy!

Single handle taps allow both hot and cold water to come from one spout with just one lever to control temperature and flow – an attractive choice for Australian kitchens as it’s simple, cost-efficient, and less complicated than mixer taps – although they do leak more often than other types.

Leaks in faucets can damage wood cabinets and walls as well as lead to swelling and water stains, waste up to 20,000 litres a year of precious resources, so it’s imperative that any problems be corrected immediately – don’t put off calling in a professional! If your tap is faulty don’t hesitate – call an plumber right away!
