Author: admin / 2022-06-10

Picking out a bathroom sink faucet might be trickier than you would initially imagine. Believe it or not, there are many different types of bathroom faucets available in all kinds of colors, finishes, styles, and sizes. Picking a vanity sink faucet should be done so carefully, as you’ll usually be keeping the same faucet for many years and it should match the overall feel and theme of the room and your other bathroom fixtures.

1. Bridge

If you're looking to combine old-fashioned style with today's technology, bridge faucets might be for you! “Bridge,” means that the levers and the faucet all branch off of one singular part. This requires two holes in the bathroom countertop as opposed to three.

You can often find bridge faucets with under-mount sinks. This combination offers you the freedom to experiment with the sink faucet. Usually, bridge faucets are mounted to the bathroom countertop, which also makes it easier to clean around the faucet and therefore easier to keep your bathroom sink clean and hygienic.

2. Centre-set

Bathroom faucets that are center-set work with basins with three holes. Centre-set bathroom faucets have handles that are four inches apart. These faucets include a spout and two handles, one on each side of the base unit.

3. Single-handle

Also known as single-lever faucets, single-handle bathroom faucets is exactly what it sounds like—a bathroom faucet with one handle. The singular handle of single-handle faucets controls both the temperature of the water and the water pressure. Single-handle faucets are a popular style for kitchen faucets as well.

Most single-handle sink faucets only need one or two holes. This means these faucets will only require one hole in the bathroom or kitchen countertop for faucet installation. However, if there are additional holes, some faucets come with a mounting plate to cover the extra holes.

4. Spread-fit

The connection below the vanity sink deck or countertop sink deck is concealed with spread-fit faucets. These faucets have separate spouts and separate handles. Usually, the holes for these sink faucets are placed up to 10 inches away from each other. You can also mount these faucets in nonstandard configurations. For instance, you can position the spout on a rear corner and the handles for the faucet off to one side, which can make it easier for tight installations. This faucet is very similar to the center-set bathroom faucet.

5. Wall-mount

Wall-mounted faucets are attached to the wall, as opposed to being attached to the sink or the counter like a deck-mounted faucet or tap. These faucets extend over the sink and are available in a wide variety of styles, sizes, colors, and finishes.

Many people choose a wall-mounted fixture because of its clean appearance; it’s a style that’s both modern and utilitarian-looking. The main advantage of a wall mount faucet on a vanity sink is that it makes it easier to keep the area around your sink clean. Since dirt and calcium deposits tend to build up at the back of a sink, it’s a crucial area to clean. It's easier to reach without a faucet and hardware in the way.
