Do You Like These Kitchen Faucet Options

With so many options available, selecting a kitchen faucet can be overwhelming. While your final decision ultimately depends on personal style, knowing some basic information makes the process a little easier. Ask yourself the following questions to determine your needs and find the perfect kitchen faucet:

 

How is your sink used?
If you are regularly washing large pots and pans, you want to make sure that your faucet is not only beautiful, but functional as well. Selecting a faucet with a tall, curved neck will provide ample room to access the sink and allow you to rinse large items thoroughly.

 

How many handles do you prefer?

Consider how your sink is used and determine if one or two handles is the best option for you. Kitchen faucets commonly feature one handle that rotates to adjust water temperature. However, it is usually easier to regulate and control water temperate with two separate handles. While two-handle faucets have more style options, each type is available in a plethora of styles and finishes.

 

Is a hand spray needed?
It is always good to select a faucet that features a pull down or side spray. Hand sprays provide extended reach and extra maneuverability that will help reach all corners of the sink for proper cleaning, and best utilize your sink and faucet for everyday kitchen tasks.

 

Installation Options
Deck-mount faucets rest directly on the countertop. These faucets provide an appealing look that is well-suited to any design style.

 

A deck-mount faucet will occupy space on the countertop, so make sure that your area is large enough to accommodate your selection. Dirt or water may accumulate between the faucet and the wall. Leaving at least a finger width behind the faucet will provide ample room for cleaning.

 

Wall-mount faucets are mounted to the wall above the sink. These faucets are a great option if you want to preserve countertop space and provide for effortless cleanup. Installing a wall-mount faucet may require relocating your existing plumbing and should be completed by a professional. When selecting a wall-mount faucet, it is important to take into account the distance the water spout projects to be sure that the sink and faucet are compatible.

 

 

Widespread faucets are designed for three-hole installation. They have three separate pieces, two handles and a spout, and the spacing between the handles ranges from 6 to 16 inches. 

 

 

Single-hole faucets are installed through one hole in the countertop. They may have a single handle or two handles and are often available with decorative plates to cover any unneeded predrilled holes. 

 

 

 

Bridge faucets mount to the countertop and feature an above-counter “bridge” that connects the hot and cold water supplies.

 

 

Centerset faucets are also designed for three-hole installation and have handles that are 4 inches apart. Centerset faucets typically feature two handles mounted to a 6-inch plate, or escutcheon.
