FAQs
Kitchen taps should provide both style and convenience to your kitchen space. Innovative tap designs, such as the pull out kitchen tap, have allowed taps to go beyond the basic function of providing water in your kitchen.
With a sleek extendable spout and 360° rotation, our pull out kitchen taps provide you with greater control and a focused directional spray, making your life easier and your kitchen prep more efficient.
What are the benefits of a pull out kitchen tap?
Due to their innovative design, pull out kitchen taps provide you with a greater reach. This makes them a great choice for those who want to quickly and conveniently rinse plates before loading them in the dishwasher.
It also makes them ideal for rinsing down foods and kitchen utensils with minimal splashback due to the control provided by their directional spray. This makes them especially useful for those with 1.5 or double
double bowl sinks.
Pull out kitchen taps are also convenient for filling up pans with water on the counter instead of holding them under the tap. Even mop buckets can be left on the ground and the tap brought to them to fill up with water.
How do pull out kitchen taps work?
Whilst a pull out tap still caters to the basic requirements of a regular kitchen tap, which is to give you both hot and cold water, its specialised features are focused around greater ease for the user.
In essence, kitchen taps with a pull out spout come fitted with an extendable flexible hose in the arm of the tap. This allows you to pull out the tap head, lengthening the hose, so that the water is carried a further distance from where the tap is installed. This extension allows for you to control the direction and destination of the water spray.
With some of the extendable flexi hoses we offer spanning 1.2 metres, and some even coming with multiple spray settings, pull out kitchen taps will help you run your kitchen far more efficiently.
Should I get a pull out kitchen tap?
If greater convenience in the kitchen is appealing to you then a pull out kitchen tap should be at the top of your list when it comes to kitchen appliances. However, there are a few things to check in order to ensure this is the right tap for you and your kitchen.
As pull out kitchen taps can be heavier than the average tap, we’d recommend installing them into granite, ceramic or strong stainless steel sinks. Whilst not all pull out kitchen taps are large in stature, many of them are. So, it’s important to consider whether you have enough space in your kitchen. This is particularly important when it comes to space above your kitchen tap, as many pull out kitchen taps have greater height to allow for more space to manoeuvre the spout in.
These aspects aside, pull out kitchen taps are ideal for those looking for a more practical and efficient way of operating the kitchen.
