The type of Kitchen Faucet you choose will determine the style of the kitchen and the overall appearance of your kitchen. While the most common type of faucet is a single-lever model, there are also two types of handles. Single-lever faucets have a single handle that is located on the side and can be adjusted with just one hand, finger, or elbow. Single-lever faucets are easier to install and have a smaller footprint than side-mounted faucets.
Before purchasing a new kitchen faucet, it is important to know the configuration of your current sink. There are a few types of mounting configurations, so you need to know the amount of holes you have. Then, you can find a faucet that fits perfectly within the existing holes. You can also cover up extra holes in your sink with decorative plates. Make sure that your faucet will fit into the existing holes, but you should also check for clearance, which is the distance between the faucet and the sink.
While many types of kitchen faucets are designed to last for about 15-20 years, the longevity of your new faucet will depend on your usage, how well it is installed, and the quality of the materials used. In general, most kitchen faucets will last for 15 to 20 years, and some faucets even come with a warranty. If you find your faucet dripping or leaking, you may only need to perform minor repairs such as replacing the seal or tightening the nut.
There are two styles of faucets to choose from. Commercial-style faucets are designed to be very versatile and flexible, and have multiple taps. If you have a professional kitchen, a commercial style faucet will likely be a good choice. These are usually heavy-duty and may have multiple taps to suit the space.
Touchless faucets are another popular choice. This type of faucet doesn't require physical manipulation, and you can control the flow and temperature of water simply by waving your hand in front of it. These faucets make preparation easier as they do not require a handle and are operated by a sensor. Touchless faucets are similar to the ones that you find in public restrooms. Touchless faucets are convenient for rinsing hands after handling raw meat.
While choosing a kitchen faucet, you should consider the type of finish. Some faucets come in chrome, which is easy to clean and blends in with most sinks. Other finishes are more modern, such as matte black and brushed gold. A combination of stainless steel and matte black will make a kitchen look more stylish. You can also select a spot-free stainless steel finish to avoid water spots and fingerprints. The finish of your faucet can have a significant impact on the overall look and feel of your kitchen.
