Different Styles Of Faucets: What Would You Like In Each Room Of Your Home?

Faucets used to be a single style, never changing, always the same. Then plumbing fixture companies sprung up in the latter part of the nineteenth and early parts of the twentieth centuries. All of a sudden, people had indoor plumbing and indoor plumbing fixtures with style options. Now, you have so many faucet styles that it might be difficult to choose. Sometimes it helps to understand how different styles work so that you can select the faucets you want most in your bathroom sinks and kitchen sink. Here is a selection to get you started. 

The Professional Chef's Faucet

This faucet is an exciting addition to large kitchens because it is the perfect faucet for filling large stock pots and pasta pots with water. It often has a spray feature as well, so after you are done cooking fantastic meals, you can spray those big pots out and make them easier to clean. If you really like that idea, a plumber can also hook up the chef's faucet separately from the rest of the sink hardware and connect the chef's faucet to instant hot water taps. You will not have to boil much water ever again when you can just fill a pot with hot water and let it gently boil on your stove. 

The Hook Arc Faucet

This type of faucet works both in kitchens and bathrooms. If you have a basin in the bathroom that sits on top of the counter rather than in the vanity itself, the hook-shaped arc faucet rises above the basin for easy filling. In the kitchen, this faucet makes it easier to get pans under the running faucet to fill them with water so that you do not have to place the pans in the sinks themselves in order to fill the pans with water. 

The Modern Pump Spout

A cistern pump with a fluted spout is how a lot of people used to get water from the cisterns under the house into the sinks above. The fluted spout acted as a channel for the water to flow through after the pump handle brought the water up from the cistern below. While the pump is no longer necessary, the modern fluted spout provides a unique means of channeling water into your basins. Most people use these faucets for bathrooms with modern decor, but you could incorporate them into your kitchen as well if you like.
