6 Key Considerations When Buying Bathroom Faucets

Upgrading your bathroom faucet can instantly refresh the look and functionality of your space. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the right one?  Here are 6 key factors to consider when shopping for a new bathroom faucet.

– Match the number and spacing of sink hole – Many faucets work with 1 or 3 hole sink

1. Sink Compatibility

– Look for brass or ceramic disc valve – Quality aerators save water efficiently

2. Quality Materials

– The standard is 2.2 gallons per minute – Look for WaterSense-certified faucets with a maximum of 1.5 gallons per minute to save water

3. Water Usage 

– Single-handle, double-handle, and touchless options are available – Consider ease of use, design, and personal preference

4. Handle Style  

– Taller spouts may look nice but can cause splashing – Trough-style faucets can lead to water drying and mineral buildup

5. Spout Type 

– Ensure compatibility with existing plumbing – Consult a plumber if making modification

6. Installation Process 

 The key is finding a faucet that fits your existing sink and plumbing while considering factors like material, water usage, ergonomics, and installation. Take your time to find the perfect match for your bathroom.
