Types of Sanliv Kitchen Faucets

Have you ever seen that Sanliv commercial where a woman tells her designer that she wants him to design her house around a faucet? You may have laughed, and said “Yeah, right! No one can do that!” Now you can – especially in the kitchen. Faucets have been revolutionized to be the “star” of the kitchen. Manufacturers have made kitchen sink faucets stylish and versatile while keeping the needed functionality you demand. There are many different types of kitchen sink faucets to choose from, and you have to pick what is right for you and the style of your kitchen.

Single Handle Kitchen Faucets

Single Handle Kitchen Faucets allow for quick and easy water flow and temperature adjustments with one hand, which is helpful when your hands are occupied. This design requires 1 or more holes depending on layout and styles range from traditional to modern. Most models are available with or without side sprays.

Two Handle Kitchen Faucets

Two Handle Kitchen Faucets provide precise temperature and water flow adjustment, with separate hot and cold controls, utilizing 3 or more holes of a sink or countertop.

Pull-Out Spray Faucets

Pull-Out Kitchen Faucets are a great mix of style and functionality. The faucet head pulls out and with a touch of a button the water pattern switches from regular flow to spray. This can be a big help when washing dishes, or getting those last scraps of dinner down the drain.

Wall-mount Faucets

Wall-Mount Kitchen Sink Faucets are a unique style that require no deck holes since the faucet mounts to the wall above the sink. This design does require water supplies that extend above the countertop in the wall. This is a great option if you’re looking for an antique style kitchen.

Pot Filler Faucets

Are you the cook in the house? Do you hate having to carry heavy pots of water from the sink to the stovetop? Worry no more! Pot Filler Faucets are a “must have” for an avid cook. The pot-filler is a cold-water kitchen faucet, and it is installed in addition to a regular kitchen faucet. It can be mounted on the wall or on a countertop near the stove. This way you can fill the pot while it is already positioned on the stovetop.

Bar Sink/Entertainment/Prep Faucets

Compared to a regular kitchen faucet, bar faucets are simply smaller. They go along with the bar/prep sinks that are also smaller in size. These faucets come in a variety of styles and designs utilizing 1-3 holes, depending on your needs and want for sink accessories. When used in a kitchen they are often matched to the same style as the larger kitchen sink and faucet.

Remember when choosing a faucet, it should not only look great, but it should work well too. Faucets should be drip free for its lifetime with normal use. There are styles and finishes for every kitchen, pick the one that is right for you.

Steps to Take When Shopping For Contemporary Kitchen Faucets.

Contemporary kitchen faucets provide a way for homeowners to spruce up this frequently used room in the home. This type of faucet adds style and flair to the kitchen while providing a useful way to get water out of the tap. When deciding to add a contemporary style faucet to your kitchen, there are a few steps you should take in order to choose the perfect one.

Peruse the Faucet Selection at a Local Home Improvement Store or Online

Before buying contemporary kitchen faucets you should first peruse the selection and see what is available. Since there is such a large quantity of kitchen faucets available it is helpful to look around and see which ones catch your eye. You can do this by going to a local Home Depot or Lowe’s or you can check out the selection offered at a variety of websites online. This will give you a starting point when you do choose to head out to make the final purchase.

Take Measurements

The next step is to take the proper measurements so that when you do buy the new kitchen faucet you will be sure that it fits on the sink properly. Without taking measurements you might find yourself selecting a kitchen faucet which is either too little or too big for the sink area. Therefore, taking measurements will help to make the shopping trip much easier.

Determine Your Desired Price Range

You should also have a set price in mind when embarking on a kitchen faucet shopping trip. These items can range anywhere from a reasonably priced item to an overly pricey one. If you have a set budget in mind you will be more likely to buy what you can afford and not spend more than your designated budget. This is even more important if you are redoing the entire kitchen and need to budget out each kitchen appliance and fixture accordingly. Have about a $20 difference between the minimum and maximum desired prices as this will help you to zone in on the perfect kitchen faucet at the best possible price.

Make Your Final Selection

The last step to purchasing a contemporary style kitchen faucet for your home is to head out to the stores or shop online and make your final selection. Try to narrow down the possible items to three or four faucets that you really like. When making the decision, try to keep in mind what the overall kitchen looks like as this will help to ensure that the kitchen faucet matches perfectly with your contemporary style kitchen.

You may also wish to save some money by purchasing the kitchen faucet on sale, taking advantage of web-only specials or using coupons at the store which sells these kitchen faucets. This may also be a way to limit your options to the final selection, by choosing one which is on sale as opposed to one which is not. By keeping these tips in mind you will better be able to find contemporary kitchen faucets which are perfect for your style of home.
