How to Choose a Bathroom Faucet

When choosing to purchase a new bathroom faucet, what should you consider?  Here we’ve come up with some great tips to help you transform your bathroom faucet into one you’ll really love. Here’s a checklist you should go through before you start: 

 

• Choose A Faucet & Sink Together (When Applicable)
  Sinks and faucets obviously work together but if you paid attention to the information above, you’ll recognize that they also have to be compatible. If you’re simply replacing a lavatory faucet, the number of holes in your existing sink will dictate the configuration of faucet you’ll need. If you’re buying a new faucet and a sink together, make sure each is compatible with the other. (Hint: Your contractor, plumber or the people where you buy your sink and faucet should be able help you  with    that determination 
•  Lifestyle (Should) Play A Role In Faucet Choice
  Before you actually choose your next bathroom faucet, think about you and your family’s lifestyle and how the bathroom will be used. Faucets that cater to young kids should be easy to use and durable (not the dainty delicate Victorian style). Young kids usually make a mess with the toothpaste — which might not mix well with an oil rubbed bronze finish.
•  Choose The Right Faucet Size
  Small centerset bathroom faucets work well in tight areas and maximize sink and vanity-top space. On the other hand, trying to clean the tight space between the handles and the spout on this configuration can be annoying. If you have the space (and the sink) that accommodates a widespread faucet, you may find it offers more convenience and style options.
•   Know Your Countertop Thickness
  A bathroom faucet needs to “fit through” the thickness of your countertop. In other words, the part of the faucet that goes through the countertop is made to a specified length, which varies with each faucet. Some specifications refer to this as “max deck thickness”. If your countertop thickness is bigger than the length of this feature on the faucet you want, you might not be able to use that faucet unless you can obtain something called a “thick deck” or “thick countertop” mounting kit. 
•  Bathroom Faucets Don’t Always Come With Handles or Drain Levers
  Some lavatory faucets are sold without handles. The reason is to allow you to mix and match spouts and handles of various styles. This is important when comparing prices – you might think you’re getting the whole enchilada for $X when in fact, you may have to make an additional purchase for the handles. Drain levers are actually known as “Pop-Ups” – the little knobs and rods you pull and push to open and close the drain. Some faucets come with these features, others do not. Read the faucet’s technical specs to know if they’re included or not.
• Be Aware Of Delivery “Lead Times”
  Sometimes there’s a time lag between when you purchase a bathroom faucet and when it’s delivered (that is, unless you buy it right off a store shelf). This is known as a product’s ‘lead time’. It’s important to understand from a timing perspective because this lead time could delay certain aspects of a bathroom remodel if you don’t get the faucet at the right time.
•  Darker Finishes May Show Spots & Cleaner Residue
  Lavatory faucets with a dark oil or hand-rubbed bronze finish may tend to show soap spots, water scale or cleaner residue more readily than chrome or more ‘silver’ colors. Small centerset faucets with spouts and handles fit tightly together make the cleaning and rinsing process more difficult, raising the chance of leaving some cleaner residue on the faucet. It’s not a big deal if you’re not too particular but it’s something to keep in mind if you like a spotless bathroom.
• Test Drive Some Lavatory Faucets
  Take some time to try out various bathroom faucet configurations at home centers or showrooms to appreciate how different varieties “feel”. Understanding how a single handle faucet feels vs. a cross-handle vs. a pull-up handle will make you a better decision maker once it comes time to choose.

Choosing a bathroom faucet does not have to be hard, but it does take some research. If you take the time to look at these tips you can be sure that your finished bathroom will be fantastic.
