Choosing kitchen faucets can be extremely easy, but sometimes it can haunt you if you make a wrong choice. Your choice of faucets also stems from the place where you live, and also the type of wash basin you have installed. For instance, a smaller wash basin just doesn’t have enough room for a solid two handle faucet. For some, kitchen fittings are all about style, but then there’s a delicate line between common sense and ignorance, that you have to tread carefully on.
When To Use A Two Handle Faucet
One of our readers said, “I will never go for a two handle faucet, for the simple reason that I don’t need it. I live in a hot place, and it is most likely that I will end up using cold water almost throughout the year, so why should I go for a two handle faucet” – If you think you do not need a double handle at all because of your annual weather then by all means don’t get a double handle.
Two handle faucets are the best when you want to provide both hot and cold water. If you stay in a city, which experiences both cold and hot weather, it is best to use two handle faucets for your kitchen. Secondly, make sure your wash basin is large enough to accommodate two handles. No one likes the faucet handles to be out of reach.
Two handle faucets also bring an element of style. It looks appetizing. You got to agree with this fact, irrespective of whatever preferences you may have. And if you have installed a side sprayer to go with it, then the whole setup appears pretty awesome. There’s advice for you, though – get a bronze two handle faucet, and it will drop rare old world charm into your kitchen.
When To Use A Single Handle Faucet
If your wash basin is smaller, then you are advised to use a one handle faucet. The real advantage with such a faucet is the fact that it can be used with an exceedingly smaller pan, making best use of the limited space. Normally, single handle faucets make adroit use of the long handle. Some may use a short handle, with a high spout. Many say that single handle faucets are highly durable, and are therefore, quite popular.
Try and look for suggestions when you shop for faucets. The best place to start is perhaps, with your neighbours. Remember, if you don’t have a feel for your kitchen, carry someone along who at least will bring more value to your kitchen shopping.
