Choosing the Perfect Kitchen Tap: A Guide to Functionality and Style
At Abey Australia, we pride ourselves on bringing the most diverse and quality kitchen tapware products to the Australian market. All our ranges have been hand-picked from manufactures who lead the world in the design, technology and production techniques.
Gooseneck versus Square Neck Spout Shape
As the name suggests, the gooseneck design has a spout that represents a curved design emulating that of a gooseneck. The advantage of this design is that it reduces splashing and makes it easier to use when washing large pots. All our Kitchen Mixer Collections come in this shape. The other option is a spout that has a square neck shape. This range is a modern option that works well with a square looking sink.
The gooseneck 6K1 Poco Kitchen Mixer is a popular choice. With its pin lever handle and beautiful knurled patterned spout, this kitchen mixer is a popular design option for a modern look. Made by bespoke tapware designer GESSI in Italy, the Inedito Dual Spray Kitchen Mixer offers sophisticated details in its square neck shape. This design has a modern knurled insert on the handle and comes in four stylish finishes.
Pull Out versus No Pull Out
All of our Kitchen Mixers come with the option of having a pull out or not. Deciding whether you should purchase a pull out or non-pull-out kitchen mixer ultimately depends upon what kitchen sink you have chosen. A pull-out kitchen mixer is perfect for those who have a large single bowl sink or more than two bowls. Using the pull out is a handy way to not only clean your pans and vegetable or fruit, but it is also practical way of assisting in washing your sink.
Our Just Pull Out Mixer is made in Italy and has a handy 2000mm pull-out and easy to use swivel spout. Available in four finishes, it has a classic shape that will work well with any kitchen design.
Style your kitchen with our huge range of finishes
The choices are endless now with a diverse range of finishes on the market for kitchen mixers. The traditional chrome finish is no longer the only option. Our finishes include Polished Steel, Brushed Steel, Matt Black, White, Brushed Nickel, Bronze, Black Pearl, Artisan Copper and Eureka Gold finish. The Black Pearl, Artisan Copper and Eureka Gold also match perfectly with our Piazza range of sinks
Swivel Spout
A Kitchen Mixer with a spout that swivels is a must for any kitchen. Being able to manoeuvre your spout from one side to the other quickly can be achieved with all our Abey Kitchen Mixers. Our range has been designed with practicality in mind. Our website specifications also give you details of the swivel for each of our mixers.
Consider your kitchen design
Your next priority should be ensuring your kitchen tap and mixer complements your kitchen design. For example, if you’re going for an understated modern look something like the Gareth Ashton Lucia Side Lever Mixer in a black could be perfect – or for a heritage look the Armando Vicario Provincial Kitchen Mixer might be ideal.
