How to Choose the Best Kitchen Tap

Consider the space and your needs

When determining the ideal tap for your home, it is essential first to assess the specific requirements of your kitchen. What type of tap do you need? What clearance is available above the sink? These functional aspects must be assessed carefully to ensure that your choice is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical. Once you have identified these crucial features, you can enjoy choosing the design of your high-end tap.

Choose whether to mount taps on the sink or the worktop

Sink-mounted taps are suitable if you are using your existing sink, but they are limited by the pre-existing mounting holes. Worktop-mounted taps offer greater design freedom and are ideal for undermount sinks, although they do take up space on the counter.

Choose the right tap finish

The Officine Gullo tap collection is crafted in solid brass and is available in three different finishes, to integrate perfectly with various projects and satisfy every preference.

• Burnished Brass: The burnishing is carried out strictly by hand, making the surface irregular, darkening it and recreating a kind of “natural ageing“.  It is a living material that ages, revealing more and more of its beauty over time.
• Satin Nickel: The metal takes on a “warm” silvery tone and is then made matt through a further brushing process.
• Polished Chrome: The effect is that of a “mirror“ polish, perfectly suited to more modern and contemporary spaces.

For a coherent design, match the finish of your tap with other elements in your kitchen, such as drawer handles and lighting.

Match the Style

Whether your kitchen is modern or traditional, make sure your tap complements the style of the room. Officine Gullo kitchen taps are available in a wide range of models with timeless charm that blend perfectly into both more classic and more contemporary spaces. Some models also offer the option of choosing, for example, the type of knob, allowing you to give the setting a more classic or industrial character straight away.

Add a pot filler tap

A pot filler tap is a luxurious addition to any kitchen, especially for keen cooks. It allows you to fill pots directly on the hob, saving effort and adding a stylish element to the kitchen décor.

Choose excellence in materials

The thickness of the noble metals used to make Officine Gullo taps is immediately apparent. Their weight is instant proof of it.
