About kitchen faucets

Choices for a kitchen faucet are more interesting and varied than before and they can really add to the decor of your kitchen. The main types of kitchen faucets are:
  1. Single handle
  2. Two handle
  3. Pull-out spray style
  4. Wall mounted
  5. Bar sinks faucets
Single handled faucets allow for quick and easy water control using just one lever, whereas dual handled styles have separate controls for hot and cold water.




Pull-out spray heads may be the most-requested feature in a faucet. As handy for washing vegetables as they are for cleaning the sink, a spray offers the flexibility of targeted spraying.

Spout height has grown in recent years. Newer looks include many styles of arched spouts that can reach a foot or more above the countertop. This feature comes in handy when filling large pots.



Reach is a factor to consider when purchasing a faucet. For example, a high arc faucet may have a very limited reach across the sink basin, which could make it less convenient to perform some tasks unless using a pull-out spray.

Finally, the faucet's finish is important too. Today, faucets come in shiny chrome, brushed nickel black iron, vintage-look aged bronze, copper, brushed brass, and more finishes. You just have to choose which one goes with your kitchen's design and style.
