Brushed gunmetal is the quiet alternative to black — a soft, grey-toned metallic that reads as dark against a pale worktop but keeps a metal character rather than going flat. It works particularly well in industrial and minimalist kitchens, and alongside concrete, oak and stainless steel.
The Porlock body is a slim swan neck, 417mm tall with a 214mm reach and a compact 50mm footprint, so it suits a tap position tight to a window or a splashback. The spray head pulls out on a 365mm hose, and a single lever sets temperature and flow together for one-handed use.
Please check your water pressure before ordering. Howdens' specification for this model carries two figures that do not sit easily together: a stated working range of 0.5–5bar and a pressure suitability of "Suitable for High Pressure Systems". Both are reproduced verbatim below. If your supply is gravity-fed or otherwise low-pressure, contact us before ordering and we will confirm with Howdens first.
Howdens supply the trade only — you cannot buy this tap direct from them without a trade account. We hold one, so you can order it here at a fair retail price with no account and no minimum order.
