In harmony with the design and style of the kitchen

Choose the kitchen faucet that perfectly matches the kitchen. The golden tip may sound simple, applying it effectively requires a secure search. Because just go through the range of kitchen faucets from different manufacturers looking for that model in that finish that fits perfectly in the kitchen of your dreams.

The clothes make the man, the kitchen faucet then also the kitchen?

Perhaps a tad exaggerated but that the kitchen faucet is an important part of the kitchen, there is no doubt. More even, it is the most used part of the kitchen. Just think of the multitude of actions and operations that happen with the kitchen faucet. All day long. That makes the kitchen faucet must be beautiful, in fact, it stands out in any kitchen style and design, but also easy to use and durable.

Wide choice

Take in the assortment of different manufacturers and you immediately realize what an (impossible?) job someone has to do to find just the faucet that best suits the style of the kitchen and the wishes in terms of shape and finish. The choice of the kitchen faucet should not be pushed to the back either, it is as mentioned above the most used part of the kitchen and is always in the picture. It is precisely for this reason that the style and color of the faucet have become so important, as has the shape of the spout. Now that the kitchen is the centerpiece of the home and the room to take out to friends, it does deserve a beautiful and functional kitchen faucet. Because, of course, the options offered by the faucet remain of equal importance.

The controls

Actually, choosing the right faucet is not as difficult as it seems. It has to be done with careful consideration, but with the right questions and thus the right answers, you quickly arrive at a limited selection of faucets. And it does seem to us just a little easier to choose from, say, five faucets that have passed the selection, than from a list of, say, fifty. Thus, the operation of the faucet is an important question where the answer immediately cuts into the number of possible faucets. One-handle faucet or two-handle faucet? Simply put, one lever to operate the faucet or two levers? Of course, which of the two options is more convenient depends on user to user. Although it seems more than likely to us that the one-handle faucet, that is, with one lever to control both water flow and temperature, is just that little bit more convenient. Or then what about the non-contact operation? Introduced by corona but also kind of handy when you need water while your hands are full. The water starts flowing when a sensor senses the hands and stops flowing when the hands are gone again.

Cold and hot and more

Today, in addition, faucets are available that provide instant boiling water (and even more) from the same faucet in addition to ordinary cold and hot water. That availability may not yet be known to every consumer so it is certainly worthwhile to suggest the pluses of those faucet models. The time saving that such a faucet provides, the space saving on the worktop because no kettle is needed anymore, ... And to completely reassure people who do not know these faucets: they do not look any different from ordinary faucets either. Boiling water faucets come in all sizes, shapes, weights and designs.

The design

A high or low spout? A pull-out spray head or not? The answers to these are obviously linked more to the functional than the aesthetic. And yet they have their (perhaps limited?) influence on the appearance of the faucet. But those who talk about the design of the faucet obviously mean something else. Classic or modern? Chrome, black or yet a color? Matte, polished, brushed? But let's face it, for every type of kitchen, for every customer taste, there is with 100 percent certainty a kitchen faucet that finishes his or her kitchen.
