Kitchen faucets play a important role in a home, providing water at the desired temperature and flow pressure with ease. Faucets reliably give us water, in the temperature and flow pressure we demand, with just a simple adjustment of the handle. Because kitchen faucets do so much for the family, it is only fitting that homeowners put a lot of consideration into selecting the right one. Although a stylish design is important, the biggest factor should be whether or not the faucet will do the work necessary for your home.

Before making a decision on which fixture is best suited for your kitchen, it is essential to explore and compare different options. Selecting the right faucet is crucial as it will serve your kitchen for years to come. Without further ado, let’s delve into an explanation of the various types of kitchen faucets.

7 Types of Faucet For Your Kitchen

• Single/Double Handle Faucet

  

  Single Handle Faucet

  Best for: Limited space and ease of use

  A single-handle faucet uses one handle that can be turned side to side and up and down to control both the temperature and the water flow with one motion. This is great for turning on water with one hand, making it easy to access water quickly. The downside to single-handle faucets is that it can be difficult to get a precise temperature or water flow.

  A double-handle faucet has a separate handle for cold and hot water flow. This makes controlling temperature and water pressure much more precise

• Pot Filler Faucet

  

  Pot Filler Faucet

  Best for: Extra utility sink or separate water supply

  Pot filler faucets are usually mounted to the wall/deck and have jointed arms that allow them to be pushed back out of the way or pulled forward to fill a large pot. These often do not accompany a sink basin, though they can. A pot filler can be used in conjunction with an extra utility sink or to create easy access to a separate water supply, such as over the stove.

• Bridge Faucet

  Best for: Large sink area and creating a focal point

  Bridge faucets have a separate handle designated for the hot and cold water that are connected to the spout with a horizontal bar, or bridge. This gives these faucets their unique look and name. These are perfect for larger sinks since they require at least two and often three or more holes in the sink basin if you wish to add a sprayer or other accessories. They also add a focal point to the room with their unique design.
• Straight Spout Faucet

  

  Straight Spout Faucet

  Straight spout faucets are designed to reach out horizontally over the sink, remaining a straight line. They are available in a variety of sizes, making them compatible with large and small sinks. Because of their low profile, these faucets are great for sinks that do not have much height clearance, such as sinks tucked under cabinetry.

  Tip

  “In general, choosing a low versus a high sprout style depends on the look you like best. Hins vegar, you do need to be mindful of what will fit in the space and function best. You might have a window sill or cabinet that a tall sprout may not fit under.”—Allison Ruda, Interior Designer

• Pull-Out Sprayer Faucets

  

  Pull-Out Sprayer Kitchen Faucets

  Best for: Wide sinks and thorough washing or rinsing

  A pull-out spout kitchen faucet is designed to double both as a stationary faucet and as a handheld sprayer and hose. Simply grasp the faucet and pull it out to reveal the hose and easily move the water wherever it needs to go. Pull-out faucets often have a spray feature built into the faucet handle. These are great for wide sinks, as you can pull out the faucet to reach the edges. They are also ideal for thoroughly rinsing and washing items.

• Pull Down Sprayer Faucet

  

  Pull Down Sprayer Faucet

  Best for: Deep sinks and thorough washing or rinsing

  A pull-down spout faucet also acts as a stationary faucet with a built-in sprayer and hose, although pull-down spout faucets extend down into the sink, rather than out as a handle. Pull-down spout faucets are ideal for deep sink basins since they can reach deep into them. This also makes it easier to thoroughly rinse and wash large items.

• Touchless Faucet

  Best for: Reducing messes and making the sink easy to use

  Touchless faucets can be turned on with motion and only have one handle to control the temperature of the water. These faucets are perfect for keeping your sink clean and simple. They reduce messes since you do not need to touch the faucet when your hands are dirty. And their streamlined design keeps the sink simple. Some models are smart kitchen faucets that can also be controlled using a voice assistant. Hins vegar, these high-tech faucets are usually more costly.
