Welcome to the official blog of Quality Locks Kenya Ltd, your trusted supplier of home finishings and accessories.
In today’s article, we will guide you through the process of shopping for the perfect taps to create a stunning home.
Taps and mixers play a vital role in enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of your home, and selecting the right ones can make a significant difference.
Whether you’re renovating your bathroom or kitchen or building a new home, these tips will help you make informed decisions and achieve the desired look.
So let’s dive in!
1. Consider your style and theme:
Before you start browsing through the wide range of taps available, it’s important to have a clear idea of your preferred style, and theme. These may already be on the architectural interior design plan, or inspired by your taste and preference.
Whether you’re aiming for a modern, traditional, or eclectic look, selecting taps that complement your overall interior design will create a cohesive and visually pleasing space.
2. Assess your water pressure and sources:
Understanding your home’s water pressure and source is crucial when choosing taps. Different taps require different water pressure levels to function optimally.
Wide-mouthed taps work best for areas with low pressure, for example. If you have low water pressure, look for such taps specifically designed for such conditions to ensure a consistent and satisfying water flow.
Taps with reducers and thinner necks work well in areas with immense water pressure acting as a bottleneck to allow water dislocation.
Sources of water also need to be considered since some taps are ideal for, say, salty water, while others only function optimally with non-salty water.
3. Determine the number of holes:
Taps come in various configurations, including single-hole, double-hole (mixers), and three-hole designs.
Check the existing plumbing setup or the requirements of your new installation to determine the number of holes you need, and thus the range of taps available to you.
Also understand whether the hole(s) will be on the wall above the sink, or below the sink. This will help you narrow down your options between wall-type and pillar-type taps or mixers, helping you avoid any unnecessary modifications.
4. Material and finish:
Consider the materials and finishes that will best complement your space.
Chrome, stainless steel, brass, and bronze are popular choices known for their durability and timeless appeal. They are also easy to clean, while some stain less than others.
Take into account the other fixtures such sink size and other fittings in your home to ensure a harmonious blend. A kitchen sink may need a long-neck tap as opposed to a regular hand-wash basin tap.
5. Functionality and features:
Think about the practicality and functionality of the taps you’re considering.
Do you prefer lever handles or traditional knobs? Would you like a swivel spout or a pull-out spray? Would you enjoy a push tap or a sensor tap?
Assess your needs and lifestyle to find taps that offer the features you desire, such as temperature control, water-saving mechanisms, or easy maintenance.
6. Quality and reliability:
Investing in high-quality taps is essential for their longevity and efficient performance.
Look for reputable brands such as; Nemsi, Lirlee, Frencia, Kholer among others, known for their durability and reliability.
Quality Locks Kenya Ltd takes pride in offering a wide selection of taps and mixers from trusted manufacturers, ensuring that you receive products that meet the highest standards.
7. Have a budget.
Finding the perfect taps or mixers for your home also comes down to your budget.
There are a large variety of faucets and mixers with a wide price range. Depending on the manufacturer, brand, material, features and functionality, taps may range in price from a few hundreds, to hundreds of thousands per unit.
So, have a practical and concise budget as this will also help you narrow down your set of options, save you time, reduce your mental fatigue and confusion during selection.
