This growing desire for high-end functionality wrapped up in stylish design has seen the launch of new ranges of finishes, which can include taps in rose gold, brushed rose gold, gold, brushed gold, platinum, gunmetal, nickel and brushed nickel.

With a growing awareness for the damage we are causing to the environment and our own health, there are some compelling reasons to list in high- tech kitchen appliances.
