Kitchen Sink

This is the great debate! The right choice depends entirely on how you wash your dishes.

• Double Bowl (The Traditional Choice):Pros: Allows for multitasking. You can soak dirty pots in one side while rinsing veggies or peeling potatoes in the other. It is the standard preference for most Aussie families.Cons: The individual bowls are often smaller, making it hard to wash large baking trays or woks flat.
• Large Single Bowl (The Modern Choice):Pros: Massive internal space. You can easily fit your largest oven trays, roasting pans, and stockpots flat on the bottom for soaking.Cons: You lose the "separation." If the sink is full of soapy water, you can't easily pour a drink or rinse an apple without emptying it.
• The Compromise: Consider a 1.5 Bowl or 1.75 Bowl Sink. This gives you a large main bowl for washing heavy items and a smaller side bowl for rinsing or draining cutlery.

Your choice here is dictated by your benchtop material.

• Undermount (Seamless): The sink is clamped underneath the benchtop.Best for: Stone, Granite, Marble, or Concrete benchtops.Why: It allows you to wipe crumbs and water directly from the bench into the sink with no obstruction. It looks cleaner and more high-end. Note: You generally cannot undermount into laminate as the chipboard core is not waterproof.
• Top Mount / Inset (Drop-In): The sink has a rim that sits on top of the benchtop.Best for: Laminate or Timber surfaces.Why: The rim protects the cut edge of the laminate from water damage. It is also cheaper and easier to install.

A common mistake is buying a sink that is physically too big for the cupboard underneath.

• The Carcass Width: Measure the external width of the cabinet unit (usually 600mm, 800mm, or 900mm).
• The Fit: The sink bowl (not necessarily the top rim) must fit inside the internal walls of the cabinet.Example: A standard 600mm cabinet has internal space of approx 560mm. You cannot fit a double bowl sink that is 700mm wide into this unit.Check the Specs: Our product pages list the "Minimum Cabinet Size" required for each sink.

Kitchen mixers are used 20-50 times a day, so finish durability is critical.

• PVD Technology: For Brass, Gold, or Gunmetal finishes, we strongly recommend looking for PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coatings. PVD is bonded to the metal at a molecular level, making it incredibly resistant to scratching from rings or pots.
• Matte Black: Most black taps are "Electroplated" or powder-coated. While durable, they can scratch if hit with a heavy cast iron pan.
• Care: Avoid using scouring pads on coloured taps. Wipe them with soapy water to keep them looking new.

Yes, absolutely. We strictly only sell tapware that meets Australian Standards.

• WaterMark: This is a mandatory certification ensuring the product is safe for use in Australian plumbing systems, handles mains pressure, and won't contaminate your water supply. Installing non-WaterMark taps can void your home insurance.
• WELS (Water Efficiency): This star rating tells you how much water the tap uses per minute. A higher star rating means lower water bills. You will find the WELS registration number and flow rate listed clearly in the "Specifications" section of every product page.

If you want filtered drinking water but hate the look of a separate small tap cluttering your benchtop, a 3-Way Mixer is the solution.

• How it works: It is one single tap body with two levers.Lever 1: Controls standard Hot & Cold mains water (for washing up).Lever 2: Dispenses dedicated Filtered Water (for drinking).
• The Benefit: Clean, minimalist design with all the health benefits of a filtration system hidden under the sink.
