How IMEX kitchen faucets are organized
The most useful way to read the catalog is by spout function, because that is what truly changes your day-to-day experience at the sink. IMEX covers four major types: pull-out, where the spout comes out like a hand shower to fill pots or rinse the sink basin; fixed high-spout, which are simple and durable; flexible spout, which can be oriented by hand; and specialty, which add osmosis for filtered water or a motion sensor for hands-free operation. Within each type, every series repeats the same design in various finishes, so you can choose the function first and the color second.

Pull-out with dual-jet: Bonn, Niza, and Berna
If you cook daily and fill large pots, a pull-out faucet will change your life. In IMEX, the three reference series are Bonn, Niza, and Berna. All feature a hose-mounted spout and a dual-jet diffuser that toggles between a concentrated stream—for rinsing—and a spray mode—for washing vegetables without splashing. The Berna is the most price-conscious and is offered in chrome; the Bonn and Niza are practically identical in performance and feature the full color palette, including brushed gold, rose gold, and black gun metal. Choosing between the two is mostly aesthetic: check the product page for the total height and reach of the spout to confirm it clears your window or tiling. You can compare finishes on the Bonn pull-out faucet in brushed gold or the Niza in brushed gold.
High spout and basic models: Kenia, Loira, and Belgica
Not all kitchens require a pull-out model. If you are looking for a reliable, easy-to-clean faucet with fewer moving parts, the fixed-spout series are the sensible choice. The Kenia is a high-spout brass tap with straight lines, available in chrome and brushed rose gold, ideal when you want the height to fill containers without the complexity of a pull-out. The Loira shares this philosophy and stands out for its Ø 35 mm ceramic cartridge and for offering the full range of finishes at a very competitive entry price. The Belgica, with its rounded aesthetic, is the entry point of the catalog: compact, in chrome or matte black, for small kitchens or second homes. You have the Kenia high-spout faucet in chrome as a reference for this family.
Specialty models: osmosis, sensor, and flexible spout
The IMEX catalog also meets specific needs. The Marsella series integrates an osmosis outlet: a second channel for filtered water, so a single faucet provides both tap water and osmotized water without installing an extra spout. If you are interested in technology, the Turín series adds a motion sensor and digital panel to open the water with a gesture—very practical when your hands are full or dirty—while maintaining a pull-out spout. And for those who prioritize flexibility of movement, the Sena and Deva series offer a flexible orientable spout; the Deva, in particular, features a stainless steel body with a satin finish, a robust alternative that is very easy to maintain. You can see it in the Turín motion-sensor faucet.
Materials, cartridge, and finishes: what to check before buying
What separates a long-lasting faucet from one that leaks within a year isn't in the photo, but in the internal components. For IMEX kitchen faucets, there are three points worth checking. The body is made of brass in almost the entire range—a heavy, corrosion-resistant material—except in flexible models like the Deva, which use stainless steel, highly suitable for the constant humidity of a sink. The cartridge is ceramic and replaceable; in series like the Loira, it is Ø 35 mm, the standard diameter for kitchen faucets, regulating flow and temperature with a smooth touch and no drips over thousands of uses. And the finish: in addition to classic chrome, IMEX offers brushed gold, brushed rose gold, matte black, and black gun metal, with a treatment that withstands daily cleaning without fading. A tip: always note the model reference (e.g., GCE024 or GCR004); this is what you will need years later to order a replacement cartridge or aerator.
How to choose your IMEX kitchen faucet in 4 steps
- Decide the function first. Do you need a pull-out for filling pots (Bonn, Niza), filtered water (Marsella), hands-free opening (Turín), or is a reliable high spout enough (Kenia, Loira)? This decision takes precedence over everything else.
- Measure the space. Check the product page for the total height and spout reach, and confirm that it will not hit the window, tiling, or overhead cabinets when turned. For sinks under a window, keep an eye on the height of the pull-out.
- Choose the finish and do not mix it. Chrome if you are looking for a neutral, easy-to-clean look; brushed gold, matte black, or black gun metal if you want character. Try to match it with your handles and sink.
- Verify pressure and drainage. Pull-out and sensor-equipped models perform better with stable pressure; if your plumbing system is limited, a simple high spout may be more forgiving.

Frequently asked questions about IMEX kitchen faucets
What material are IMEX kitchen faucets made of?
Most are manufactured in brass, a heavy, corrosion-resistant material, with a replaceable ceramic cartridge. Some flexible models, such as the Deva series, use stainless steel, which is especially suitable for the constant humidity of the sink.
Which IMEX kitchen faucet is best for filling large pots?
Pull-out models with a dual-jet diffuser, such as the Bonn and Niza series, are the most convenient: the spout comes out like a hand shower, allowing you to direct the stream into tall containers or towards any corner of the sink.
Do IMEX faucets with a pull-out spout have a dual stream?
Yes. The Bonn, Niza, and Berna pull-out series incorporate a dual-jet diffuser that toggles between a concentrated stream, useful for rinsing, and a spray mode, which is gentler for washing vegetables or delicate dishes.
What warranty do IMEX kitchen faucets have?
As with any product sold to consumers in Spain, they are covered by the minimum legal warranty of three years against conformity defects, which the seller may complement with their own commercial warranty and the availability of spare parts such as cartridges and aerators.
