Bathroom Faucets

Your faucet,
aside from serving as an architectural piece,
needs to coordinate seamlessly with your bathroom
sink or bathtub as well as the bathroom’s
overall design. (A sleek Kohler faucet won’t
necessarily look good with a Victorian bathroom
and a clawfoot tub.) You’ll need to choose
two sets of faucets: one for the sink and
one for the bathtub and shower. Wall-mounted
fixtures, deck mounted faucets, single-handle
and double-handle faucets are all appropriate
for different types of sinks or tubs. Spend
some time considering how the faucet will
look when paired with your sink and with your
bathroom’s overall look.
Your most important faucet decision is whether
you would like one-handle or a two-handles.
There are endless styles, colors, finishes
and options to choose from. Make sure that
you select a style and finish that matches
the rest of the fixtures. Look closely at
the way the faucet is used to make sure you
are comfortable with the opening and closing
mechanism. For example, some people don't
like round handles, because they are more
difficult to grip. |

Wall-Mounted
Faucets
A wall-mounted faucet installs on the wall
and appears to floats above the sink. It’s
perfect for wall-mounted sinks and can free
up valuable sink space for cramped urban bathrooms. |

Deck-Mounted
Faucets
Deck-mounted faucets are the traditional faucets
most of us are accustomed to: they install
on the sink deck itself and arc above the
bowl. |

|
Single-Control
Faucets
Single-control faucets are easy to manipulate
and boast a sleek minimalist design. |
|
| |
|
Double-Control
Faucets
Double-control faucets offer much greater
control over the ration of hot to cold water,
essential for a bathroom sink. |
