Kitchen and laundry design trends – why white granite is a top choice

Are you planning to renovate your kitchen or laundry? Whether it’s a white granite quartz stone kitchen sink or on a kitchen island countertop, white granite is a top choice for those seeking sophistication and timelessness with long-term durability. Our experts at Aquaperla explore the latest kitchen and laundry design trend.

What are the benefits of white granite sinks in the kitchen and laundry?

Besides its aesthetically pleasing and timeless appeal, white granite has many benefits. Since granite is known for its durability, cleaning is a breeze since it is resilient when it comes to moisture. In an all-white kitchen or laundry, where imperfections can stand out like a sore thumb, granite is resistant to chipping and scratching, making it a top choice for durability. White granite sinks are non-toxic, lead-free and highly resistant to heat, stains and dirt. Oil will not adhere to it and neither does it fade over consistent or heavy-duty use.

What white granite sinks are available at Aquaperla?

Aquaperla is home to a vast range of high quality and affordable white granite sinks. Made of premium quality white granite stone composite (80% granite), Aquaperla’s white granite sinks are designed to not only look fabulous but stand the test of time.

A little DIY doesn’t hurt occasionally, right? We explain why you need a licensed plumber for your bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovations.

Why you need a licensed plumber for your bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovation

Thinking of renovating your kitchen, bathroom or laundry? While you may be tempted to save money by doing the plumbing yourself, it could also be unsafe and unlawful. A faulty DIY job can also cause trouble down the track, such as a lack of functionality. Our experts at Aquaperla  explain why you need a licensed plumber.

Do I need to a licensed plumber?
Did you know you are required by law to use a licensed plumber? This is because your plumbing system is vital to the functioning of your home. Just think of the inconvenience a burst pipe has, not to mention the health and safety implications. Plumbers undergo special training to safely work on various aspect of your plumbing. Licensed plumbers are also instrumental in home renovations, where the removal and installation of plumbing elements are integral to the functioning of rooms – specifically kitchens, bathrooms and laundries.

The Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA) is the technical reference for all plumbing work and is an integral part of the National Construction Code (NCC). It applies to all aspects of plumbing work, specifically:

• Sanitary plumbing
• Drainage and stormwater drainage systems
• Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems
• Wastewater systems

What are the benefits of brass tapware?

Brass tapware offers rust resistance and can be coated with a chrome, white chrome, gold, gun metal grey or black finish. Brass taps in Australia and New Zealand are required to be dezincification resistant brass or DR brass, a copper alloy with a zinc content of more than 37%. This helps against severe corrosion when water is very highly chlorinated or high in oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Is Aquaperla tapware made of solid brass?

Aquaperla’s solid brass tapware products stand the test of time, offering anti-rust, corrosion and tarnish resistance.

What tapware styles are available at Aquaperla?

Aquaperla has a vast selection of tapware to choose from. The range features:

WELS and water ratings – what you need to know

In 2005, the Australian Government introduced the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards, or WELS Scheme. This scheme applied a mandatory, nationwide water efficiency and minimum performance standard to all Australian household water-consuming products. Under WELS, any product that consumes water must be examined and tested by a government regulator under standardised conditions within a laboratory to dictate its efficiency. WELS utilises a scale similar to Australian Energy Ratings – a scale from one star to six stars (one being the least efficient, six being the most).

The higher number of stars, the higher the water efficiency. The star rating is a simple way to compare the water efficiency of different products at a quick glance.

What is a WaterMark™ standard tap?
WaterMark™ is a product quality certification mark owned by Standards Australia. It is provided by independent certifying authorities and managed by the Australian Building Codes Board. It is designed to ensure compliance that the product has been assessed for product quality, including health and safety, and warranted that it is fit for purpose. WaterMark™ tapware products have undergone rigorous testing and meet several quality standards and health and safety requirements.

A typical kitchen tap or bathroom mixer is made up of a number of components and many of them also need to have WaterMark™ certification for the product to be certified. The input hoses, any internal hoses and the mixer cartridge all require WaterMark™ certification.

WaterMark™ certification is mandatory in Australia
WaterMark™ certification is mandatory for products to be legally installed in accordance with State and territory plumbing regulations. Products required to be certified are listed in the Plumbing Code of Australia. When purchasing tapware always remember to look for the WaterMark™ logo to ensure the tapware is certified under the WaterMark™ Standard for Australia and New Zealand.

Does Aquaperla tapware have WELS approved star ratings and Watermark certification?

All Aquaperla tapware has a WELS rating and WaterMark™ certification. Many of our products have a WELS rating of 6 – the highest rating – with a water efficiency of 4 litres per minute. Aquaperla tapware products also come with a WELS license number and WaterMark™ logo.
