When it comes to replacing your kitchen taps and sink, consider a single lever mixer tap. Single lever kitchen taps make it possible to regulate the motion, direction and heat of your tap water with just the use of one hand. The lever may be fitted on the upper or the side of the tap frame. If you require a tap that will fit in with most kitchen designs, a stainless steel version is probably your best option. Stainless steel fixtures have the added benefits of their anti-bacterial properties and are easy to clean. Ensure that your chosen tap comes with a good warranty, and you can rest assured that your tap will serve you well for many years to come.
