When it comes to choosing your bathroom faucet, you want something that is functional, appealing and compliments not only your sink design, but your bathroom design choices as well.
Anytime you are replacing or remodeling you need to consider matching your bathroom faucet in your sink with the bathroom faucets of your tub and shower as well. Before you run out to buy a new bathroom faucet you need to understand that there are various types of mechanics working in different types of bathroom faucets.
For instance, compression faucets are the most commonly used, since they have been around for many years. They use washers and compression for shutting off the water flow. They provide both a hot and a cold handle and valves for controlling the flow of water and the temperature of the water.
Ball faucets are commonly useful as well, although they feature a single handle for water and temperature control.
Cartridge bathroom faucets are a great option and come with either a single handle or a double handle faucet that features a stem cartridge that controls water flow.
Disc faucets feature single handles for controlling the temperature and the water flow.
A bathroom faucet is available in various types of installation styles. For instance, there are Centerset faucets of single units that feature both the handles and the spout being mounted to the base. Widespread faucets feature individual components of spouts and handles. Single-hole faucets feature a handle for temperature and water flow control as well as a spout in a single unit. And then there are wall-mounted bathroom faucets that are excellent for remodeling projects, this type of bathroom faucet you can mount on the wall and out of the way.
Regardless of your choice, you want a bathroom faucet that looks great while providing you with the water you need at the price that is right for your budget.
