How To Choose Kitchen
Faucets
 Choosing
appropriate faucets for your kitchen
sink is as important as choosing the
shape and size of the bowl. Faucets
come in all shapes and sizes. Avoid
a tiny faucet on a big, bold sink,
and vice-versa. Be sure that the
faucet you have chosen directs water
into the center of the bowl. Also,
make sure your new faucet matches
the correct hole drillings in your
sink.
Faucets come with a one or two
handles. With one handle, you have
the convenience of controlling water
temperature and volume with just one
hand. Two-handled faucets offer more
styles and spout designs. Look for a
long-lasting, low maintenance finish
to complement your decor.
The most important aspect to look
for in a faucet is its durability --
how long it will last without
dripping? Faucets should perform for
a long time and be drip-free for
life.
A faucet must have anti-scald
features such as hot-limit safety
stops, pressure-balancing valves to
protect users from drastic
temperature changes and thermostatic
valves that allow users to select a
favorite temperature on an
easy-to-read dial.
You can purchase a faucet that
requires one hole (single-handle),
or three holes (separate hot and
cold handle). However, if you are
planning on purchasing an accessory
as well, such as vegetable spray,
soap dispenser, or hot water
dispenser, they each require a
separate hole.
Faucets come with various features
such as pull-out faucets, widespread
faucets, bar faucets, and
wall-mounted faucets. You can choose
faucets based on functionality,
size, finish, spigot, or handles.
When deciding between different
types of kitchen faucets, consider
design compatibility with other
hardware in the room, as well as how
you use your sink.
One easy way to identify the
different types of kitchen faucets
is by the material from which they
are constructed. Stainless steel and
chrome are popular choices since
they can be shined to a high polish,
looking sleek and contemporary. For
a more traditional style there are
nickel, brass and copper faucets.
