All About: Pull-Out or Down Spray taps

If you've already renovated a kitchen or are just beginning the process, you know how overwhelming the details can be. Our Fittings and Material Spotlights are quick guides to basic kitchen fixtures to familiarize you with terminology, pros and cons, and relevant reader reviews. We've covered sinks and countertops, and now we're moving on to taps. From basic single and two-handle taps we move to today's focus: pull-out and pull-down spray Taps UK.

Though the terms are often used interchangeably, technically pull-out and pull-down taps have slight differences between them. While they both integrate the high-pressure sprayer into the faucet itself, as opposed to having a separate sprayer on the side of the sink, a pull-down faucet features a tall faucet head/sprayer (usually with a shorter hose, but not always) that pulls straight down into the sink. A Bathtub Taps has a tap head/sprayer that pulls out towards you. Which one is better is really dependent on your aesthetic preference and what kind of functionality you're looking for.

Usually has a tall arc spout and multiple spray options, so it's good for filling bigger pans and pitchers; considered more ergonomically correct, because it's one fluid hand motion (Pull Out Kitchen Taps) without having to twist and maneuver the hose to the side. Cons: The additional spout height can further decrease already low water pressure; faulty weights on cheaper models can cause the spout head/sprayer to dangle.
