The many different designs add elegance and
personality to any bathroom décor. If you are
replacing a leaking faucet or remodeling, you may be
surprised at the many choices of faucets available.
How do you select the ones that are best for you?
It’s good to know a few things about materials and
design before you buy.
Top remodeling contractors advise that you begin by
getting quotes on the bathroom faucets you like that
are compatible with your sink. The new faucet should
have the same number of holes as the original
setting. Some faucets are single-hole units
consisting of a one-piece unit with the handle and
spout. Another type, the four-inch centered faucet,
may be either a one-piece unit or a spout and a
two-handled faucet combination on the same body.
Bathroom faucets with a spout and separate handles
require drilling 8 to 16 inches widespread.
Wall-mounted faucets are best for sinks without
holes for setting the fixture. Additional equipment
is required to finish the valve and drain. Knowing
the type of faucet you need will narrow your search
for the right fixture.
Be sure the spout is long enough to reach out over
the sink or tub. All faucets should be easy to reach
from outside the tub, whirlpool, and shower. Before
buying, consider ease of use. Lever handles are
ideal for people with physical handicaps and also
for children. The finishes of all accessory
components such as traps, drains, and toiletry
supplies should complement the décor.
