1. Temperature Control at Your Fingertips
Unlike traditional separate hot and cold taps, kitchen sink faucets allow you to adjust water temperature with a single handle. This precise control helps you achieve the perfect water temperature for washing dishes, rinsing produce or filling cooking pots.
2. Water and Energy Efficiency
These kitchen taps help reduce water waste by allowing you to reach your desired temperature faster. This means less water down the drain while waiting for the right temperature.
3. Space-Saving Design
Kitchen sink mixer taps typically have a streamlined design that takes up less counter space than dual-tap systems. This creates a cleaner look and allows for more working area around your sink.
4. Versatility for Various Tasks
Modern kitchen taps with mixer functionality often include features like pull-out sprayers or adjustable flow rates, making them adaptable for different kitchen tasks, from gentle vegetable rinsing to powerful pot scrubbing.
5. Enhanced Ease of Use
The single-handed operation of kitchen sink faucets is particularly valuable when your hands are full or dirty during meal preparation. This practical design improves workflow and efficiency in busy kitchens.

The sophisticated wall mount kitchen faucets offer separate controls for hot and cold water with added functionality. Many include connections for hand showers or overhead showers, which makes them suitable for multi-functional kitchen environments where movement is essential.
At Astral Bathware, all kitchen faucets have single lever and quarter turn options, giving you choices in how you control your water flow. This thoughtful variety ensures you find a suitable match for your kitchen layout, personal preferences and cooking style.
Choosing from so many kitchen sink taps involves considering several factors to ensure it meets your needs and complements your space:
Step 1: Assess Your Sink Configuration
Before choosing kitchen sink mixer taps, check your sink’s pre-drilled holes. Standard configurations include single-hole, three-hole and widespread installations. If you are replacing an existing faucet, measure the distance between holes to ensure compatibility or consider models that include deck plates to cover unused holes.
Step 2: Consider Your Kitchen’s Style
Your kitchen faucets should harmonise with the room’s overall design aesthetic. For contemporary spaces, sleek single-handle kitchen sink taps with clean lines work well. Traditional kitchens might benefit from bridge-style faucets or dual-handle kitchen taps. Industrial or professional-style kitchens often suit commercial-inspired kitchen sink faucets with spring-coil necks.
Step 3: Evaluate Finish Durability
Kitchen taps endure frequent use, water exposure and cleaning agents. Look for kitchen sink faucets with corrosion-resistant finishes like chrome, brushed nickel or stainless steel. PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) finishes offer exceptional durability and maintain their appearance even with daily use.
Step 4: Prioritise Practical Features
Consider how you use your kitchen when selecting features. If you frequently wash large pots, a high-arc spout provides needed clearance. For homes with hard water, look for kitchen faucets with ceramic disc valves that resist mineral buildup. Pull-out or pull-down spray heads add flexibility for various cleaning tasks.
Step 5: Check Water Pressure Compatibility
Ensure your chosen kitchen sink faucets work with your home’s water pressure. Some high-end models require minimum pressure levels to function properly, particularly those with spray features or multiple flow settings.

Consider your sink configuration, kitchen style, water pressure, frequency of use and specific functional needs. Look at the number of mounting holes in your sink, clearance requirements and whether features like pull-down sprayers or touchless operation would benefit your cooking routine.
A sink mixer combines hot and cold water through a single spout with temperature controlled by one or two handles. A sink cock (or pillar cock) delivers either hot or cold water only, requiring separate fixtures for each. Mixers offer more convenience and precise temperature control for kitchen use.
Brass is the preferred core material for durability, with surface finishes like chrome, stainless steel and brushed nickel offering excellent corrosion resistance. PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) finishes provide superior longevity and maintain appearance even with frequent use and cleaning.
The ideal height depends on your sink depth and kitchen activities. For standard sinks, a spout height of 8-10 inches provides good clearance for filling pots while minimising splashing. Deep sinks or frequent use with large cookware may benefit from taller faucets (12-15 inches).
Most kitchen sink mixer taps are designed for deck mounting on countertops or the sink itself. Verify that your countertop material can support the faucet’s weight and that there’s sufficient clearance behind the installation area for supply lines and mounting hardware.
Sensor taps work well in kitchens, offering hands-free operation that’s particularly useful when cooking with messy ingredients. Modern touchless kitchen faucets include features like temperature pre-setting and manual override options, making them practical for everyday kitchen use.
A mixer tap combines hot and cold water streams within a single unit, allowing adjustment of temperature and flow through one or two controls. This design delivers water through a single spout at your desired temperature, eliminating the need to mix water manually as with separate hot and cold taps.
Kitchen mixer taps contain internal valves that control the flow of hot and cold water before they mix in a common chamber. Single-lever mixers use cartridge valves where the lever position determines temperature and flow rate. The mixed water then exits through the spout at your preferred temperature.
Chrome remains popular for its durability and ability to complement any kitchen style. Brushed nickel and stainless steel resist fingerprints and water spots better than polished finishes. For distinctive looks, consider matte black or bronze finishes, though ensure they feature protective coatings for longevity.
Wall mount kitchen faucets require specific plumbing configurations with water lines accessible through the wall rather than from below. They’re excellent space-savers but typically require professional installation and planning during kitchen construction or major renovation to ensure proper support and access for maintenance.
Most quality kitchen sink mixer taps are designed to work with standard household water pressure (around 1.0 bar). For homes with very low pressure (below 0.5 bar), look for models specifically labelled as suitable for low-pressure systems or consider installing a pressure-boosting pump.
Evaluate your water pressure, sink compatibility, installation requirements, desired features (like spray functions), finish durability, valve quality and warranty coverage. Also consider ease of operation, especially for households with children or individuals with dexterity challenges.
Clean regularly with mild soap and water, avoiding abrasive cleaners that can damage finishes. Wipe with a soft cloth and dry after use to prevent water spots. For calcium buildup, use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water applied with a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly.
