Construction and durability
Heavy brass or stainless steel body: Many heavy taps are crafted from high-quality metals, such as solid brass or corrosion-resistant stainless steel, for exceptional durability and longevity.
Rust and scratch resistance: The metal construction often includes a chrome or other polished finish, providing excellent resistance to rust and scratches and maintaining a lustrous appearance over time.
Design and aesthetics
Tall and slender profile: The high-neck design gives the tap an elevated and modern look, making it a striking feature in contemporary kitchens or bathrooms.
Premium finish: A mirror-like chrome or other polished finish offers a sophisticated, premium look that is highly reflective and easy to clean.
Versatile styling: High-neck taps come in various styles to match different needs and decor themes, from modern and minimalist to classic.
Functionality and ease of use
Extended spout reach: The long neck provides ample clearance, which is ideal for deep washbasins, countertop sinks, or even kitchen sinks. This prevents splashing and makes tasks like washing hands or filling large containers easier.
Smooth water flow: A quality tap often features a water-saving nozzle or an aerator that provides a smooth, splash-free foam flow, ensuring a comfortable user experience.
Quarter-turn or single-lever mechanism: Many models use a quarter-turn cartridge or a single-lever handle for easy and precise control over water flow. Some mixer taps also allow for adjusting water temperature.
