WHAT KITCHEN FAUCET DO I NEED?

A kitchen faucet should be chosen for its perfect balance of design and function. It should enhance the work area and be effortless to use, even with greasy hands. A smooth handling of the lever is very important in order to ensure a precise adjustment of water flow or temperature.

 

For an architectural open-plan space, choose a single-handle kitchen faucet with refined lines to echo the purity of the room. For a traditional kitchen select a two-handle faucet. Determined cooks will appreciate pull-out rinsing sprays which make kitchen tasks easy.

 

 

Two-Handle Faucets

The classic styling of two-handle faucets allows them to adapt to any kitchen environment. Mounted in a single hole in the sink or the worktop, they feature individual levers or handles to control the hot and cold water supplies.

 

 

Single-Handle Faucets

Single-handle faucets enable you to control the water flow and temperature with one hand. Ceramic discs in the faucet cartridge allow fingertip control of the faucet, leaving your other hand free to use the rinsing spray. Levers can either be mounted on the top or at the side of the faucet body.

FAUCET FINISH OPTIONS

Stainless steel and chrome faucets complement all style of kitchens. Sparkling chrome will add a highlight to the kitchen area and enhances the look of composite work surfaces and sinks. Stainless steel, a material known for its anti-bacterial qualities, gives a professional look.


What should I look for?

Look out for a solid metal faucet body with ceramic discs in the cartridge for smooth easy-to-use activation. A quality faucet will last a lifetime so select a design with timeless appeal.


It is false economy to buy a cheap faucet, as you will only have to replace it in a few years time. If your budget is tight, try and save money elsewhere in the kitchen.


Choose a faucet that comes with a warranty – this shows that the manufacturer is confident that its products will deliver for years to come.


Before purchase, check that your water pressure is compatible with your choice of faucet. For optimal performance, many faucets require a minimum flow pressure of 14 PSI.
