Bridge Taps

The style and design of these taps almost resemble a bridge, so they got their name “Bridge taps.” They are sleek and look sensible for industrial-themed kitchens and bathrooms. As an experienced worktop supplier, pairing this with a sintered stone sink is a lovely makeover.

Cartridge Taps

The short and tiniest tap type. Cartridge or Fontaine-style taps are so cute and pretty because they are very petite. Either comes with a separate left and right control that controls the hot and cold water flow. Isn't this cool? Try it now!

Mixer Taps

Every home, either in their bathrooms or shower rooms, would have installed these mixed taps. Vintage vs. Modern taps: mixer taps are a combination of both. The reason to have this is you can have just a single tap head that has two controllers, so you can stop the hot if you want or cold and can stop cold if you want hot or partially open both so you get a balanced water flow.

Pillar or Wall Mount Taps

Pillar taps are stylish and can be executed for kitchens that need to be wall-mounted. Wall-mount taps like the Henry Holt collection are smooth and usually come in chrome, brass, gold brass, and other finish types.

Hand Taps and Bath Taps

Hand and bath taps are handy and workable. You must include them in your bathrooms, near bathtubs or above the vanity sinks. They are solid, super comfortable, and easy to access.

Fluteless Taps

Fluteless taps have a distinguished flute and are left only with the threads and body, which makes them distinctive from the other types. They are commercially installed in office wash areas, school dorms, and even hall rooms.
