Before purchasing a new faucet, it’s a good idea to do some preliminary research. You may also want to consider a budget before beginning your search, as prices can vary widely. You will find that there are many different styles and designs in bathroom faucets. Consider ahead of time whether you want a single-handle or a double-handle faucet. Notice how the handles feel in the palm of your hand. Do you want something that is delicate or more heavy-duty? Explore different spout designs and finishes as well. Decide whether or not you want an escutcheon, the decorative plate beneath a faucet. Look for a faucet that installs easily. You may notice language like "quick connect" or "no adjust," indicating that minimal tools are required. Pay close attention to the existing hole configuration on your sink. How many are there and how far apart are they? Do you need a single-hole, 4-inch center-set, or a wall-mounted faucet? Your single-handle faucet may have three holes underneath, but you don’t necessarily have to replace it with another single-handle. There’s a design, called a "mini-widespread," which provides flexibility for customers who have a single-handle faucet, but are looking to switch to a double handle, widespread look. Confusing? Custom Designed Kitchens & Bath can will help you
with all of this and connect you with the premium suppliers in the area.
Make a Lasting Improvement Look for a design that won’t be outdated soon. Choose a faucet that will complement the rest of your bathroom and "will stand out without sticking out." Keep in mind that you will probably be using this new faucet for years, so choose something that is durable, versatile, and a brand that is considered reliable. Installing high quality products in your bathroom will result in a high return on your home remodeling investment. That is why it is important to choose a faucet that offers long-lasting, worry-free performance. You want to look for things like solid brass construction and a company that offers a lifetime limited warranty, along with customer support, in case you have questions.
