Choosing a bathroom faucet is an annoying thing. The variety of styles, materials and finishes, as well as the price, can be confusing. Before you start shopping, you might as well know the following things.

Number of mounting holes at the top of the sink

There are three types of faucets, single-hole bathroom faucets, three-hole bathroom faucets and center-set bathroom faucets. Single-hole bathroom faucets are widely used, and whether they are suitable for your bathroom will depend on how many holes you must use. Most sinks have three holes: one for the hot handle, one for the cold handle, and one under the outlet. If you want to replace the double handle with a single handle, you need a cover plate to hide the remaining mounting holes. If the sink does not have three holes, it needs to be drilled.

Nozzle height and reach range

Height refers to the distance between the end of the nozzle and the edge of the sink. You need to have enough space to wash your hands comfortably. Reach range means that the nozzle should extend far enough above the sink so that you have enough space to wash your hands without hitting the back of the sink. But it should not be too far away, so as not to spill water from the front of the washbasin.

Valve type

If you want to avoid dripping faucets, you can buy faucets with ceramic valves (like Koxking single-hole bathroom faucets). Other types of valves are drip-free for many years, but they are not comparable to the long-term reliability of ceramic valves. Moreover, the cost of bathroom faucets with ceramic valves is roughly the same as that of other bathroom faucets.

Handle selection

The choice of handle has a lot to do with the style of bathroom. According to the shape, there are cross handles and lever handles. Cross handles and knobs control the flow of water by grasping and twisting. The lever handle can be operated without grasping or twisting, which is more convenient than the cross handle.

Besides the shape, there is also a choice of the number of handles. Double-handle faucets have fashionable symmetry and are suitable for many bathrooms. But in fact, a single bathroom faucet has more advantages. A single faucet can also adjust the water temperature, and it is more convenient to clean and maintain.

Material selection

There are roughly three kinds of faucets on the market, which are brass, stainless steel and zinc. Among them, solid brass is the best. Solid brass faucets are well-known products of home renovation specialists, like Koxking's single-hole bathroom faucets. This compact and resilient material ensures service life while minimizing leakage or maintenance. In addition, brass can be electroplated into countless finishes.

Finish selection

If you want the faucet to be easy to clean and don't want to spend time on maintenance. You can choose satin brass or matte black. Fading resistance, scratch resistance, corrosion resistance, fingerprint resistance and easy cleaning.

If you have the above needs, KoxKing can help you find the best choice for your home.
