Designer Kitchen Taps

What Are Designer Kitchen Taps?

Designer kitchen taps are statement-style designs that go beyond the standard single lever kitchen mixer in terms of visual impact. The range at Bathroom Republic includes traditional bridge taps — a two-handle format where the hot and cold supply pipes are connected by a visible bridge above the sink deck — alongside contemporary single lever and pull-out designs in premium finishes not typically found in standard kitchen ranges. Finishes include brushed brass, brushed nickel, chrome and matt black, covering both traditional country kitchen and modern minimalist schemes.

Styles, Tap Hole Requirements and What to Check

Bridge taps require two tap holes at standard centres on your sink deck (typically 180mm apart) and suit traditional or country kitchen designs. Single lever designer mixers fit through a standard single 35mm hole. Pull-out styles also use a single hole but need clearance around the spout base for the spray hose to retract freely. Confirm the number and spacing of tap holes in your sink before ordering. For cartridges, handles, flexi hoses and spray heads, see Tap Accessories & Spare Parts.
