Kartell K-VIT Kolt Hi-Rise Mono Basin Mixer Matt Black (TAP311KBL)

The Kartell K-VIT Kolt range pairs a squared-off body with softly rounded edges. This is the hi-rise mono basin mixer in matt black — a taller version of the standard Kolt basin mixer, with the spout raised well clear of the basin.

When you need a hi-rise

A standard basin mixer sits low, which is right for a basin with the tap hole in its rim. But if you have a countertop or vessel basin — a bowl sitting on a worktop or vanity unit — a standard tap will be too short and the spout will sit at or below the rim.

Measure the height of your bowl from the worktop before choosing, and check the spout reaches far enough over to land water near the middle rather than the edge. A taller spout also means a longer drop, so splashing is more likely in a shallow dish.

Living with matt black

Black brassware makes a strong statement against a white bowl, and on a countertop basin the tap is very much on show. Worth knowing that matt black shows limescale and water spotting more than chrome — more so on a hi-rise, where the body is fully visible rather than tucked behind the basin.

Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth only. Never use abrasive cleaners or limescale remover, which will dull the coating.

Water pressure

Kolt needs only 0.2 bar, so it works on gravity-fed plumbing as well as mains pressure.

The same tap in four finishes

Kolt is made in matt black, polished chrome, brushed brass and brushed nickel. If your basin has a rim tap hole rather than being a countertop bowl, the standard Kolt mono basin mixer is the one you want — and it includes a matching black waste, which this one doesn't.
