What Types Of Kitchen Faucets Are Out There?
There are several different materials you can choose from when deciding on your ideal kitchen faucet.
Most kitchen faucets use PVD (physical vapor disposition) which is a process by which hardware is bombarded with charged particles and the metal used creates a different finish – nickel, bronze, etc.
You can buy non-PVD faucets, but they are far less scratch resistant. Chrome and stainless steel are other popular options.
The real practical differences between kitchen faucets come in the functionality; the different styles are listed below:
- Single-handled Faucet – quick and easy, one single handle controls both hot and cold water. Some people greatly prefer the convenience of being able to switch cold to hot in one fluid motion.
- Dual-handled Faucet – separate levers control the cold and hot water. Largely, these days, it’s a matter of personal style and preference as both single and dual work equally efficiently.
- Pull-out Spray – these are exceedingly popular and come in both single and dual-handled versions. Makes for an easy time spraying down larger items that do not fit in your sink. Do make sure you can retract the neck easily though.
- Hands-free – the option does exist these days to install hands-free kitchen faucets, just like you find in your local commercial building of choice. This option can be more environmentally friendly (as the sink sould shut off when you no longer have anything under it) and somewhat safer for germs, especially as you handle raw meat.
- Wall-mounted – some kitchens have faucets mounted directly into the wall, with the sink or basin located below. This variety can look more elegant, but is not right for all kitchens.
- Bar Sink Faucets – most frequently kitchen faucets are mounted from the bottom, directly onto the sink. Really, it depends on your existing plumbing and walls.
Other important kitchen faucet factors:
- Reach – often overlooked is the reach. Many clients forget, when trying to imagine how a faucet will look, how far it can pull away from the sink. Many higher arc faucets can barely reach across your entire sink.
- Height of Spout - in recent years spout have become higher and higher. This is useful if you want to fit a large pot under your kitchen faucet with ease. A straighter spout may have a more classic look, but will it function in your kitchen?
- Style – and of course you cannot overlook the style of your faucet. Our talented team of designers will help you choose a faucet that matches your kitchen motif and scheme.
