Exploring Bathroom Faucet Styles

Getting the right bathroom faucet can be challenging. There are many types of faucets available, each with its unique characteristics. To get the best fit, it is essential to thoroughly research all the available options before buying one.

Here are the different types of bathroom faucets available.

Bridge

Bridge faucets are modern additions to a bathroom that combine the old-school style with the latest technology. They have one single component designed to work seamlessly with both sides of the faucet. Bridge faucets work best with under-mount sinks, usually mounted to the bathroom countertop. This combination makes the sink easier to clean.

Center-set

Centre-set bathroom faucets have three-hole designs. They have a spout and two handles, and some of them are mounted on a six-inch plate. Contact a plumber to properly mount the faucet onto the plate to install a center-set faucet.

Single handle

Single-handle bathroom faucets control both the water pressure and temperature of the bath with one handle. Most single-handle bathroom faucets have one or two holes. However, some of this equipment can be equipped with a mounting plate to cover additional holes.

Spread-fit

A spread-fitting faucet is commonly used to hide the connection between the sink deck and the vanity. These faucets have separate handles and a separate spout. Usually, the holes for these components are placed about 10 inches away from each other.

Deck mount

A deck mount faucet is a sink faucet designed to fit directly to the wall or the kitchen counter. It differs from other faucet styles designed to fit the wall. To install this type of faucet, consult a professional plumber to prevent the incorrect placement of the mount.

Wall mount

Wall-mounted faucets are typically attached to the wall and not connected to the sink. They come in various styles and colors. A wall mount is an attractive option because of its clean, modern appearance.

A wall mount faucet makes it easy to keep the area around the sink clean as the back of the sink is easier to reach without hardware in the way.

Vessel

A vessel sink is a basin placed on a vanity or counter. It's usually made from various materials such as glass, steel, stone, and marble. There are multiple options available for the faucet configuration for a vessel sink. There is a single-hole or double-hole faucet or one mounted to the wall.

Various types of faucets are useful for vessel sinks. Usually, these taps need to be at least 4 inches wide to clear the vessel sink basin.

Talk to a professional

Before picking a bathroom faucet, it is essential to speak to a professional who can offer guidance on the most appropriate tap for the home.
