When you remodel or upgrade your bathroom, something as simple as a new faucet can completely change the bathroom’s overall look. In fact, there are so many designs and types of faucets that you could build the room around the faucet!
Keep in mind four things when you shop for your new faucet. These four things are ease of installation, the finish, the warranty for the faucet, and the design of the faucet.
Ease of Installation: There’s little sense in getting your faucet home if you’re not sure that you can even install the thing. Take a good look at it before you bring it home. If you’re buying for a physical store, sometimes you can even pull out the instructions to see how involved it is. It’s even better if you’re shopping online, because you can almost certainly do a Google keyword search on the faucet model and find information about it.
The faucet’s finish: There are several different kinds of finish. Some of the common ones include polished brass, chrome, satin nickel, brushed nickel, French bronze, weathered copper, and others. When you decide on the perfect finish, before you commit your credit card to it, try talking with someone at a home improvement store and see if he can tell you if that model has any disadvantages you’re not aware of.
The warranty: The better faucets, though a bit more expensive, will usually come with a lifetime warranty. Even if your chosen one doesn’t come with a lifetime warranty, it probably offers a fairly substantial one. Make sure you read the warranty papers and understand what kind of coverage you’re getting. Don’t be afraid to shop around to get the best for your money.
The faucet design: The four chief designs pertain to the holes drilled in the sink for mounting the faucet. There is a single hole faucet (with just a single handle for adjusting the water temperature), a four inch center set (with three holes in your sink, and featuring a spout and handles attached to a metal base), a four-inch mini spread, with each spout and handle mounted to one of three holes, giving an appearance of a wider-spread design, and a design with holes that are eight inches apart from each other, and each piece separately mounting. You’ll usually find this on larger sinks, and it can go up to a 16 inch spread.
The best way to decide which design for you is to speak with someone from the store or website, explain your sink habits, and ask them to advise you.
