Faucets

Types of Bathroom Faucets:

• Single-hole and single-lever faucets integrate the spout and mixing handle or handles into one fitting. Compact and easy-to-use, they require only one faucet hole drilling. Some faucets will include an optional six-inch cover plate for existing four-inch drill installations.
• Widespread faucets offer the greatest design flexibility. A mini-widespread faucet has three separate pieces in a smaller, standard four-inch drilling. A widespread faucet has a standard spread or drilling of at least eight inches.
• Centerset faucets for standard four-inch drill installations mandles mounted onto a six-inch plate. These are recommended for smaller, pre-existing, pre-drilled basins.
• Wall-mounted faucets for above-the-counter and freestanding basins require a longer spout for extended reach.

“There are three main reasons people purchase new faucets,” according to David

A key one is new home construction. The second is when they take on a kitchen or bath remodeling project. The third is when a repair becomes necessary — usually because a faucet breaks down or just wears out.

Faucet FAQs

Q. ) Why do some faucets cost more than others?

A). Not all faucets are created equal — some are simply made better than others. Look for faucets constructed of copper, brass and other high quality materials. These faucets will usually give you superior looks as well as performance and durability.

Q). What are the key features I should look for in a faucet?

A). In the bath, style is usually the driver of choice (traditional, country, contemporary; single or two-handles), and many times the bath faucet is available with matching accessories (towel bars, paper holders, robe hooks), to create a “suite” look in the overall bath.

Q). What type of finish should I look for and how do I clean my faucet?

A). If you’re choosing a faucet with a polished brass or specialty finish, look for one like Moen’s LifeShine non-tarnish finish which won’t pit, corrode or discolor.

With so many products on the market today claiming to offer superior cleaning power, it can get confusing to know which one is best. For cleaning faucets, avoid products that contain abrasives or harsh chemicals. They can scratch your faucet and take away some of its original beauty. In fact, the old-fashioned way may still be best — simply use warm water and a damp cloth.

Bathroom Planning Ideas

How to Avoid Shadowing in your Bathroom

Recessed lighting fixtures are very popular these days and are usually recommended by First team Construction and a number of design professionals. If you are relying on them as your sole source of illumination at your vanity you will fall in to the shadow trap.

The Shadow Trap is when you look into your mirror you will not be able to see yourself very well. This is caused because of the fact that floodlights are very focused lighting and halogen floodlights even more so, that will cause shadowing.

It is fine to use recessed floodlights in you bathroom if you want, as general room lighting, when it comes to your vanity you must use another type of light in addition to the recessed to combat the shadows.

Use a more soft focus or diffused light fixture.

Ideally the light fixtures should be mounted at eye level or just above, on either side of the mirror, shining at your face. However that may not always be possible.Mounting a diffused light fixture on the wall over the mirror will combat the sharp focus of halogen floodlight shining down on your face as well.

If it’s not possible to mount fixtures on the wall, only then, I suggest not using recessed lighting at all; use only decorative ceiling mounted diffused fixtures, (flush, semi flush or cove). Remembering this is not the best type of lighting for your vanity but its much better than recessed lighting alone.

In contradiction, if you are sold on only using recessed lighting in your bathroom vanity area there is only one way to make it livable and that is by placement. The recessed fixtures must be placed very close to the mirror, center them above the faucet. Centering them over the counter will still be causing shadows.

Another good tip is to independently switch the different types of lighting fixtures this will be helpful to set the mood for the different functions in your bathroom. I like a dimmer switch at the vanity area to set the light levels for daytime-nighttime makeup applications.
