The range of finishes available includes brushed nickel and Venetian bronze. All of the finishes are functionality and homeowners can choose one according to their preference. Faucets of today are also offering features such as push button controls and detachable spray nozzles.
There are a variety of options available for the consumers today who are looking to install a new faucet in their kitchens and bathrooms. Before, most faucets are designed for three or four-hole pattern allowing for a sprayer, faucet, liquid soap dispenser and an air gap from the dishwasher. However today, faucets can be mounted into a sink with single or two-hole pattern or directly into the countertop. If you don't have plans of replacing your sink along with a new faucet, you should look for one that won't leave open holes in the deck. It is generally best to replace it as is but if you want a new faucet with lesser holes, you can try the satisfying empties with screw on plugs or soap dispensers.
The two most basic faucets include single handle or two handle models. The single handle model is more popular today because it allows user to adjust the water temperature with one hand. Another difference is the body. There are faucets that have taps and spout directly mounted on the body but there are also those that have independent spouts and taps, allowing for any configuration you want as long as the lines reach from the tops into the spout. This is a more suitable type for installation in a countertop that has under mount sink. It is very common with solid surface, granite and quartz countertops.
Most traditional sink faucets come with separate remote pull out faucets that is attached into the body of the faucet with a hose attached directly under the mixing valve. Although this type of sprayer may be very common today, most of the newer faucets have pull out sprayer in the spout. This has made it very convenient for homeowners and very less prone to failure than old styled sprayers.
Some of the faucet types of today include the single handle high-arc faucet that features a remote sprayer. It is equipped with a decorative mounting plate. The two handled faucets are uncommon but remain popular with sinks and kitchens with traditional styles.
Automatic faucets can be linked to the cold and hot water lines with simple to set up flexible lines of water supply made of braided steel or vinyl. If your new faucet has a separate sprayer, you can connect it before the faucet is installed. Connection would be much easier before installation than doing it afterwards. You just have to pull the sprayer through the opening of the sink then connect to the body of the sensor faucets before installing it.
