Bathroom Faucets Buying Guide

Installing the correct faucet can add a distinct look to your bathroom remodel. Different designs, styles and features allow you to revamp and personalize your new space. With today’s many options, you can easily harmonize your faucet color and finish with the rest of the fixtures and accessories in your bathroom.

 

 

 

Faucet colors choices include black, brass, bronze, chrome, copper, gold, nickel, and stainless steel. The finish of most bathroom faucets are available in matte, brushed or polished, antique or pearl. Some faucet sets feature a combination of finishes, such as brass and chrome that offer a more unique look. Moreover, certain bathroom faucets feature a spot-resistant finish to simplify cleaning. In knowing how to design a bathroom, first you must select the best faucet style for your sink or basin. Not all faucet types work with every sink because standard faucet drillings are widespread, center-set or single-hole. A widespread faucet features a spout with two separate hot and cold water handles. Widespread faucets are available from 6-in to 16-in drillings for 3-hole predrilled installation basins. Center-set faucets, sometimes advertised as mini-widespread, are designed for 4-in predrilled with 3-hole installation basins. The spout and valves share a single base unit. Center-set faucets may have a single-handle mixing lever or two handles mounted onto a 6-in plate.

 

 

On the other hand, single-hole faucets typically have a single handle mixing lever, two handles or may feature the touchless or touch-activated system. Some single-hole faucets have an optional cover plate for predrilled 4-in-drill installations. For above-the-counter, freestanding basins and vessel sinks there are wall-mounted faucets that feature a long spout for extended reach for adequate basin clearance. Wall-mounted faucets require a separate wall-mounted valve and drain for installation plus the sink should be deep enough to prevent water splashing on your floor or countertops.
