The new fashion statement in a kitchen is the stainless steel faucet. Function and fashion have merged to create clever, useful and strikingly beautiful faucets that make the kitchen sink a place of distinction in the home.
The faucet industry has embraced the new fashion concept of the kitchen and gone with the flow! Now available are faucets that are sharp looking and functional at the same time. The faucets can move by pulling down, out and all around. The handles can be all shapes, sizes and have all sorts of handles. Many finish options are available such as bronze, stainless steel, chrome, brass, copper and many others. Stainless steel is very desirable and goes with many design themes and can be a nice touch to a kitchen.
Prices can vary greatly in stainless steel faucets from hundreds to thousands so a lot of thought needs to go into the selection process. Make sure mounting types match the water connection in your kitchen by checking the quantity of holes on the mounting you have. For example you do not want to fall in love with a double handle faucet when you have a single hole mount so be sure to check the sink first.
Think of using it and consider ease of use when making a decision as well. Do you like to use your elbow to turn it on and off while holding grapes under it? If so you probably want a single handle. Simply take the time to think about how you will use it and the selection process goes much easier.
Other considerations are relative to design and function selection as well. Consider the size of the kitchen, the sink and the color of the room. Do not choose a small dainty faucet if the sink is huge. Make the sizes work together. Faucets with two handles often look good when the sink is huge because they occupy more space. Also consider the finish, grip of handles to compliment the decor.
There are many manufacturers to shop from. Good places to get started are Rohl, Delta, Danze and Pegasus faucets.
