Our diverse selection includes child-friendly taps, pre-rinse taps, medical taps, cross-head taps, foot-operated taps, lever taps, and press button time flow taps. Each type offers unique features tailored to specific requirements, ensuring functionality, style, and convenience for every setting.

Child-friendly taps are designed with safety and ease of use in mind. These taps are ideal for school washrooms or other settings that can expect heavy use by children. Features such as temperature limiters prevent accidental scalding by restricting how hot the water can get. Our range includes taps with fun designs to engage children, encouraging good hygiene habits from an early age.

Pre-rinse catering taps are a must-have for any commercial kitchen. These taps feature a powerful spray nozzle attached to a flexible hose, making it easy to rinse food residue and grime from dishes before washing. The robust water flow and adjustable spray settings help to conserve water while ensuring thorough cleaning. Designed for heavy-duty use, pre-rinse taps are made from durable materials that can withstand high temperatures and frequent use. They are perfect for chefs who require efficiency and precision in their kitchen tasks.

In medical facilities, hygiene and ease of use are paramount. Medical taps are designed to meet these needs with features such as hands-free operation and easy-to-clean surfaces. Lever or sensor-operated designs help minimise contact and the spread of germs, while the use of materials that resist bacterial growth further enhances their hygienic properties. These taps are perfect for hospitals, clinics, and laboratories where maintaining a sterile environment is crucial.

Cross-head taps are a classic choice that combines traditional aesthetics with modern functionality. The cross-shaped handles provide a secure grip and allow for precise control over water flow and temperature. Their timeless design makes them a versatile option that complements vintage and contemporary settings. Available in a variety of finishes, cross-head taps add an elegant touch to any bathroom or kitchen. They are durable, easy to maintain, and perfect for those who appreciate classic style with reliable performance.

Foot-operated taps are the perfect solution for environments where hygiene and convenience are critical. Commonly used in commercial kitchens, hospitals, and public restrooms, these taps allow users to control water flow using a foot pedal. This hands-free operation reduces the risk of cross-contamination and keeps hands free for other tasks. Foot-operated taps are highly durable and designed to withstand rigorous use, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.

Lever taps are renowned for their user-friendly design and versatility. This makes them an excellent choice for users of all ages and abilities, including those with limited hand strength or dexterity. Lever taps are available in a wide range of styles and finishes, making them suitable for any bathroom or kitchen décor.

Press button time flow taps are an excellent choice for conserving water and ensuring hygiene. Commonly found in public restrooms, these taps operate by pressing a button or top, automatically shutting off after a preset period. This prevents water wastage and ensures taps are not left running inadvertently. Push taps are highly durable and designed to withstand frequent use, making them ideal for commercial settings.

Taps FAQ’s

1. What types of taps are available?

There are various types of taps, including mixer taps, pillar taps, monobloc taps, and sensor taps. Each type has different functions and is suitable for specific applications, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or commercial settings.

2. How do I choose the right tap for my sink?

The right tap depends on factors like the number of tap holes in your sink, the style and finish you prefer, and whether you need separate hot and cold controls or a single lever. It's also important to consider the water pressure in your home.

3. How can I maintain my taps to prevent leaks?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the tap to prevent limescale buildup, checking for any signs of leaks, and ensuring the seals and washers are in good condition. If a tap starts to drip, it usually means the washer or cartridge needs to be replaced.

4. What are the benefits of sensor taps?

Sensor taps use infrared technology to detect hand movement, allowing water to flow without physical contact. This enhances hygiene by reducing the spread of germs and can help save water by automatically shutting off when not in use.

5. Why is my tap making a noise when I turn it on?

Noisy taps can be caused by a variety of issues, such as high water pressure, a loose washer, or air trapped in the pipes. If your tap makes a whistling or banging noise, it's a good idea to check the pressure and fittings or consult a plumber for further inspection.
