Why does faucet design matter for the kitchen?
One of the most used fixtures in the kitchen is the water tap in your kitchen sink. It is necessary for the routine chores of cooking, cleaning, and sanitizing. The faucet in your kitchen is generally the one you use the most frequently used or the busiest fixture out of all the fixtures in your house. Therefore, selecting the right design for the kitchen faucets as per your needs becomes integral to the overall working of the kitchen and the household.
Factors to choosing the best tap or faucet
- Material of Faucet– Brass and PTMT are the best material for a kitchen sink faucet if the use of the faucet is going to be consistent and rough.
- Design– Give the practical elements precedence over the aesthetic ones. Thankfully, there are manufacturers on the market now that provide both on the same faucet.
- Durability of Tap– Water taps are sort of a one-time installation fixture. Therefore, always check for the durability of the taps before purchasing them. Check for the warranties various brands offer on their faucets. For instance, brands like Ruhe and Lipka provide a 10-year warranty on their brass water taps, which is considered a huge amount of time.
- Compatibility with Hot & Cold Water– Faucets made of materials like Brass and PTMT have great endurance for extreme temperatures of water. A kitchen is a place where you do require hot and cold flow considering the changing weather conditions. So, it is essential your kitchen sink faucet can withstand varying temperatures.
- Easy to Install – It is advised that you check the type of installation of the faucet that would be compatible with your kitchen sink. There are two types of installation for a kitchen sink:
- Wall Mounted Faucets: These faucets are installed on the wall near the kitchen sink.
- Table Top Faucets: These faucets are installed either on the kitchen sink rim or on the slab that adjoins the kitchen.
