Abode gains category recognition with Persona Boiling Water Tap

Norcros Plc

Abode’s Persona Boiling Water Tap has been named Best Kitchen Tap at the Ideal Home Awards 2026, giving the brand a clear product win in a competitive and design-led category.

In the boiling water tap market, buyers are looking for convenience, safety, finish choice and a design that fits naturally into the wider kitchen scheme. Persona is positioned to meet that demand by combining instant boiling water with a strong focus on personalisation.

The tap is available in five finishes and can be specified with different handle designs, including knurled and fluted options. That choice gives retailers, designers and homeowners more flexibility when matching the product to different kitchen styles. It also helps Abode stand out in a market where many boiling water taps can look similar.

The Ideal Home Awards recognition gives Persona added credibility at a useful time for the category. Boiling water taps continue to gain attention as practical kitchen upgrades, and award recognition can support customer confidence when comparing higher-value fixtures. The win reinforces the commercial relevance of design detail, finish variety and everyday usability.

Norcros plc (LON:NXR) is a leading B2B producer of branded bathroom and kitchen products for its UK, South African and selected export markets. The portfolio is characterised by strong individual brands, together providing product breadth and channel diversity from a strong supply chain base.
