Kitchen Faucet
Kitchen faucet - picking the right one for your kitchen
You turn ‘em on every day, but you never really notice your kitchen faucets until it’s time to purchase a new set for your new kitchen. When you have the list of this many choices, it can be tough to decide which kitchen faucet is perfect for your new look.
Research is the key. You can shop by price, shop by manufacturer or shop by material.
Some of the most popular kitchen faucet materials include:
Ø Stainless steel
Ø Chrome
Ø Polished brass
Ø Oil-rubbed brass
Ø Chrome/ polished brass with a mixed finish
Ø Enameled plastic
Ø Nickel
Ø SO many more!
Tips to remember with your new kitchen faucet choices –
- The more shiny your new faucets are, the more easily you will be able to see water spots, dents and any scratches
- Inexpensive faucets might look good, but the difference in material will pay off in the long run. Inexpensive kitchen faucets tend to deteriorate much faster than high-grade, more expensive items
- Sink faucets must be complementary to your kitchen cabinet hardware, something that designers occasionally forget
- Match your kitchen faucet material with your countertops for a complete look
For an almost indestructible finish, manufacturers lately have been adding a system called PVD, which is physical vapor deposition. When you choose your final kitchen faucet decision, ask if they have included the PVD coating. Not all coatings are the same and are only as good as the material to which it has been applied. Nonetheless, it will certainly help your kitchen faucets remain intact longer and looking more beautiful!
