Types of Taps: Styles, Functions & Finishes

A tap is more than just a necessity - it’s a defining feature that elevates your interior from ordinary to exceptional. At Lusso, our expertly crafted bathroom and kitchen taps merge design-led aesthetics with superior performance, offering a collection that is as functional as it is visually pleasing.

Whether you’re seeking a wall-mounted tap for your stone basin, a floorstanding tap to complement a freestanding bath, or a boiling water kitchen tap that brings innovation to your daily routine, our range of taps is designed to enhance every style of home.

Explore our guide to the different types of taps, their functions and finishes - and find the perfect fit for your interior.



BATH TAPS

Our selection of bath taps is crafted to pair seamlessly with freestanding baths and stone bathtubs, available in both wall-mounted and floorstanding designs to suit your space and style.




FLOORSTANDING

A floorstanding bath tap makes an instant design statement, pairing beautifully with a freestanding bath to create a spa-like focal point. Positioned directly on the floor, these taps allow water to cascade elegantly into the bath. Ideal for both modern and traditional interiors, each tap features a handheld shower attachment for easy use.




WALL MOUNTED

Sleek and space-saving, wall mounted bath taps offer a clean, contemporary finish. Installed directly into the wall above the bath, they allow the bath itself to take centre stage while freeing up valuable floor space. This minimalist configuration is perfect for modern bathrooms, where elegance meets practicality.

 

A statement in both design and functionality, Lusso basin taps are available in deck-mounted and wall-mounted options, each tailored to suit a variety of interior styles and layouts.

 

 



DECK MOUNTED

Fitted directly onto a basin, vanity unit or worktop, deck-mounted taps are timeless and versatile. Our monobloc designs deliver hot and cold water through  a single spout, combining sleek design with effortless functionality. As they install directly onto the surface, they avoid the need for built-in piping - a practical and elegant solution for modern bathrooms.



WALL MOUNTED

For a minimalist aesthetic, wall-mounted basin taps provide a sleek, uncluttered finish. Installed above the basin, they free up space around the sink area, reducing water build-up and simplifying cleaning. The result is a refined, architectural look that complements contemporary interiors.


SENSOR TAPS

Ideal for commercial settings such as high-end hotels, restaurants and bars, Lusso sensor taps offer an effortless blend of innovation and hygiene. Activated by an infrared sensor, water flows only when hands are detected, conserving water while ensuring a contactless experience. 

Available in both deck-mounted and wall-mounted configurations, these taps can be paired with a thermostatic mixing valve to maintain a consistent, comfortable water temperature. Mains or battery operated, they’re a stylish, sustainable addition to any modern washroom.


KITCHEN TAPS

Functional precision meets elegant design in Lusso’s kitchen tap collection, crafted to bring both convenience and sophistication to your culinary space.



PULL OUT

The height of modern innovation, pull-out kitchen taps feature an extendable spout for effortless washing and cleaning. When not in use, the spout clicks neatly back into place, maintaining a streamlined look. Each tap includes a Citec ceramic cartridge and Neoperl aerator, ensuring a smooth, continuous water flow with optimal performance.




SINGLE LEVER

Our single lever kitchen taps, combine sculptural form with everyday functionality. Available in round or square-neck styles with 220mm spout projections, these kitchen mixer taps provide effortless control from a single lever. Choose from our signature brassware finishes - including brushed gold, matte black and stainless steel - to coordinate with your kitchen sinks and hardware.




BOILING WATER TAPS

Innovation meets luxury with the Lusso Filtrata boiling water tap - a kitchen essential that replaces your kettle while reducing energy use and plastic waste. Dispensing boiling, filtered cold and standard hot and cold water from one spout, it’s designed for both convenience and sustainability.
