Professional-Style Pull Out Taps
When you say “pull out kitchen tap” to someone, this is most likely the kind that will pop into their head. Most commonly found in a commercial kitchen (hence the name), they can now be found in thousands of homes up and down the country. This is partly due to a large reduction in price, and partly due to just how useful they are to have in your kitchen. The ability to pick one up for less than £100 has made them a very appealing prospect for residential homes.
Professional-style pull out kitchen taps might be modern in design and function, but they don’t have to be limited to contemporary kitchens; if you have a large Belfast sink, a large pull out kitchen tap can make your life so much easier. Our most popular of the professional pull out kitchen taps is the Vellamo Hanbury. This is available in a standard and ‘baby’ version and not only features the pull out spray function, but also a secondary swivel spout which is easier to use if you just want to fill up a glass of water or wash your hands.
