Choosing The Right Bathroom Faucets

Choosing bathroom faucets doesn't have to be difficult, though it's true that there are lots of choices and several important things to consider.

Certainly you'll want a style that suits your decor but there's also the configuration to consider, the type of finish the faucet has, the kind of use the bathroom typically sees and the configuration of sink the faucet will serve.

Then of course, there's the budget to consider. Good bathroom sink faucets can be had for reasonable prices but at the farther end of the style spectrum, prices can get steep. Understanding what your needs are in a bath faucet and knowing what's available will help you make informed buying decisions by striking a balance between those needs and your budget.

There's a lot of information here so if you're time constrained or just the type that just likes to cut to the chase, click on the Quick Fix section below. It's a high-points summary about choosing a bathroom faucet. But plan to come back later when you have more time because there's a lot of additional detail on this page that's worth understanding.

Good Choices Rely On Understanding Faucet Basics -

Configuration
- Two standard configurations - centerset & widespread
- Centerset--handles and spout are combined together on faucet base
- Widespread--faucet handles are separate from spout
- Faucet must be compatible with the sink (correct quantity of holes and spacing)
- Mounting configuration (wall or ctop) determines plumbing requirements under sink or in the wall
- Finish
  - Finish refers to the faucet's surface treatment
  - A durable finish is necessary for durability and longevity
  - PVD coatings are preferred and very durable
  - Chrome finish is another good surface finish
  - Some finishes called "living finishes" are not covered under warranty
- Style
  - Includes general aesthetic design and "looks"
  - Involves functional design features like pull-down sprayers and spout style (high-clearance gooseneck or conventional)
- Construction and Valve Type
  - Bathroom faucet materials include brass and plastic with some form of finish coating for tarnish and corrosion prevention
  - 4 basic type of valve systems - compression / ball / cartridge / ceramic disk
  - Each valve type has its own inherent complexity and level of reliability
  - Ceramic disk valves are very durable and preferred (though typically more expensive)
  Key Points To Consider When Choosing a Kitchen Faucet -
  - When possible choose faucets and sinks together or make sure the faucet is compatible with the existing sink & ctop (re: hole cutouts & ctop thickness)
  - Choose a faucet that's sized right for the bathroom
  - Ordering faucets sometimes results in a lead time before delivery - consider this in any planning schedule
