KITCHEN
FAUCETS
|
Your kitchen’s faucet must, of course, match your sink’s
style, but it also plays an essential role in and of itself and so its
form and finish deserves careful attention. From a traditional two-handled
faucet to a pullout spray to make dishwashing easier, your choice can
make the perfect finishing touch or create a nightmare. (Imagine a delicate
high arc two-handled faucet on a brawny farmhouse sink and you get the
picture!)
Single Versus Double Handle Faucets
Single handled faucets provide quick and easy control but dual handled
models provide more precise control over water temperature. Which feature
is more attractive--ease of use or precise temperature control—is
really dependent on your personal tastes, but it’s worth thinking
seriously about before you make your decision.
Pullout Faucet: To Spray or Not To Spray
A pullout spray head faucet offers an easy way to clean food, pots and
pans or even the sink itself by providing a targeted spray with a high
degree of water pressure.
Spout Height
Arched spouts that rise above the line of the sink’s adjacent countertop
not only make a dramatic design statement, but are also very useful for
cleaning and filling large pots. However, high arc faucets also have a
limited reach across the basin, so you may want to consider using a pullout
sprayer in conjunction with a high spout to make certain tasks easier.
