ACCESSIBLE KITCHENS
Kitchen mixer taps selected for comfortable control, practical reach and dependable everyday use in fixed and height-adjustable accessible kitchens.
NEW GRANBERG TRENDLINE TAPS
The Granberg Trendline series combines clean contemporary forms with practical control options for fixed and height-adjustable kitchens. Choose a conventional single-lever mixer, add an integrated dishwasher shut-off, or separate the control handle from the spout for greater freedom over its position.
Choose your Trendline configuration
Each Trendline model offers the same premium design language and coordinated finish choices. The main decision is whether you need a conventional single-lever mixer, an integrated dishwasher shut-off or a separate control that can be positioned independently.
A premium single-lever mixer for kitchens where the appliance water supply is isolated separately (KM50) or with an additional control isolating the dishwasher water supply (KM51).
A separate spout and control handle provide greater freedom over where the tap is operated from.
Start here
Begin with the way the tap should be operated, then compare lever shape, spout reach, movement, finish, water pressure and compatibility with the sink or worktop.
Control water flow and temperature using one lever. Extended, clearly shaped handles can make this format particularly useful where grip, strength, coordination or reach is limited.
Two separate controls regulate the hot and cold water before the mixed supply leaves through one shared spout.
03Extend the outlet beyond the fixed spout to rinse larger cookware, clean the sink or direct water more precisely.
Traditional two-control taps with visible bridge pipework or separate deck-mounted controls.
Accessibility is in the details
No single control style suits every person. Consider how the user reaches, grips, turns and positions the tap during real kitchen tasks.
A longer, clearly defined lever may be easier to operate using the hand, wrist or forearm and can reduce the reach required.
The lever should remain comfortable to reach without requiring the user to stretch across the sink bowl.
Check where the water lands, how far the spout projects and whether its rotation should be free, limited or fixed.
Smooth ceramic cartridges and soft-closing mechanisms can make changes in flow and temperature feel more controlled.
Match the control to the user
Think about the complete action required to turn the tap on, adjust the temperature, position the water and switch it off again.
Fixed and height-adjustable kitchens
When the sink and tap move vertically, the water connections must accommodate the complete adjustment range without pulling, twisting or obstructing the lifting system.
Check that the hot and cold feeds are long enough for the full movement of the worktop.
Keep hoses clear of motors, frames, drawers, cabinet components and safety systems.
Confirm that the tap remains clear of windows, shelves and wall cabinets at every worktop height.
Before ordering
Choose the tap alongside the sink, worktop and plumbing rather than treating it as a purely decorative finishing item.
Consider the distance from the front of the worktop to the lever and whether the tap can be operated without leaning.
Match the spout projection and outlet position to the bowl so water lands in a practical area without excessive splashing.
Confirm the number, position and diameter of the required holes in the sink or worktop.
Check that the selected tap is suitable for the property’s hot and cold water system and available operating pressure.
Decide whether the tap should include an integrated control for the dishwasher or washing-machine water supply.
Allow enough space for the lever and spout to move without striking a wall, window, shelf or neighbouring appliance.
Check the complete specification: dimensions, operating pressure, tap-hole size, hose length and compatibility differ between products. Confirm the current technical information for the selected tap before drilling the sink or manufacturing the worktop.
Find the right control style
Compare single-lever, dual-lever, pull-out and bridge mixer taps, then check the lever reach, spout movement, finish, water pressure and installation requirements for your sink or worktop.
