Top 7 Faucet Styles
1.Bridge
This style screams old-fashioned with a sleek look and modern technology. They get their name “bridge style” because they look like a bridge! These faucets are usually mounted to the countertop and they make cleaning an easy task due to their bridge-like design. With this style, you can keep your bathroom counter, sink and faucet clean and hygienic. For this reason, bridge-style faucets are mainly found in professional settings, but we bet they would look great in your bathroom as well!
2. Centerset
This style is one of the most commonly used and we know you have seen them everywhere. They have double handle controls with a spout in the middle. Centerset faucets are symmetrical and have the outside holes 4 inches from center to center. They can look similar to a spread fit faucet, but there is an important difference. If you look at the picture below, you will see the centerset style has the handles attached to its body. With the spread fit models, the handles are detached from the faucet.
Centerset styles have a petite body and are a great option for smaller bathrooms. They also have a polished look and would fit great in any bathroom!
3. Spread Fit
These are also commonly called widespread faucets. They have two handles, which are mounted independently from the spout and can be mounted on the countertop or on the sink itself. There are multiple styles of spread fit faucets to choose from. They can be mounted in standard configurations or nonstandard configurations, which can make these types of faucets good for small spaces. Are you curious what plumbing companies have in stock and what faucets they can install for you? Call your local plumbers from Pride Plumbing of Rochester, and we will be happy to consult with you!
4. Spread Fit Style
Also called single lever faucets, they are another popular choice among the different types of faucets. The name describes them to a tee, because they only have one handle! This single handle controls both the temperature and pressure. They generally mount to the sink deck or countertop and are considered easier on the joints than two-handled faucets are.
These are also a fan favorite for kitchen faucets. Did you know that we also have a deal on kitchen faucets? Buy one from your Rochester plumbing company, Pride Plumbing and get $75 off the installation. Learn more about kitchen faucets here!
5. Single Handle Faucet
Deck mount faucets can have a single handle or double handles. The term deck mount means that the unit is installed on your countertop. They look very sleek and bring a contemporary look to your bathroom.
6. Wall Mount
As the name suggests, these faucets are mounted to the wall. They extend over the sink so you can properly wash your hands without getting water everywhere. You can get wall mount faucets in a variety of styles, sizes, colors and finishes. People enjoy these faucets because it gives your bathroom a clean look while also giving it a modern and classic style. Having the faucet on the wall means that you have extra counter space and it’s easier to clean, because you don’t have to work around anything!
7. Vessel
The vessel style is one of the most popular choices for bathrooms. It has a bowl sink with a tall faucet that’s designed to pair with the vessel sinks and they bring an elegant sophistication to your bathroom. They are very stylish and eye-catching. Most of them feature a single handle faucet. If you have a vessel style faucet and sink, it’s very easy to be versatile and flexible because you can switch them out. Unlike other sinks, vessel sinks are not stuck in place and although they have a round bowl look, they actually increase your counter space because they take up less area than recessed sinks. As you can see below, they can come in any material and size. You have a variety of options to choose from, including fired ceramic, glass, stainless steel, stone, copper, and marble. The most popular choices are usually glass and ceramic.
Smart Faucets
The only reason smart faucets are not in the top 7 faucet styles is because they are not very common in residential bathrooms, but they are becoming more and more popular! We’ve all seen touchless faucets in commercial restrooms, but have you ever thought about having one in your home? It might be the right choice for you! For starters, smart faucets are extremely hygienic. Did you know that most no-touch faucets can be programmed to a specific temperature and pressure? That’s convenient! Water only flows when it senses a hand in front of it. This makes touch-free faucets economically and environmentally friendly. They are sleek and are perfect for a trendy, modern bathroom.
