4 Different Kitchen Faucet Options for Your Sink

Whether you’re washing dishes, preparing food or cleaning hands, you’d want to make sure you have an functional and durable kitchen sink. This is especially true when it comes to the faucet. However, not all faucets are the same. Some of them have unique characteristics that may or may not work to your advantage. In today’s post, we explain the different kind of kitchen faucets on the market today.

Pull-Out Faucet

A pull-out faucet’s most notable feature is that you can pull out the faucet head so you can bring the head closer to whatever you are washing. A pull-out faucet is a great option if you often wash large pots and pans that can barely fit in the sink.

Pull-Down Faucet

Take a pull-out faucet, raise it then bend it downwards and you have a pull-down faucet it. Pull-down faucets have a slightly limited range compared to pull-out faucets, but you won’t always have to pull out the head to clean things in the sink thanks to the higher vertical clearance.

Double-Handled Faucet

As its name implies, a double-handled faucet is a type of faucet that features two “handles” – one for controlling hot water and the other for controlling cold water. This option is great if you want to control water temperature on the kitchen sink the traditional way, like when using hot water for cleaning greasy items.

Touchless/Motion Detection Faucet

This type of faucet is definitely a great addition to any modern home. This faucet works by having a motion sensor (usually infrared) located at the base of the handle. The faucet will keep running until the motion sensor ceases to detect movement. Although they are marketed as touchless faucets, most versions still have handles for manual operation.
