Each set has its distinct style and feature. To further explain the design with benefits, you will find three faucet neck styles Standard, gooseneck, and bridge.

Before deciding about kitchen faucets, look for the space in and around the sink area because congested space can cause problems during work. If you have less room over the counter, go for the wall mount faucet type. The faucet is mounted on the wall, and the counter is free. Otherwise, if the space is not the issue, you can select any installation style.

The second option is to install the faucet directly on the countertop, which is usually the general style in every household. The wall mount faucets are commonly present in a commercial area that leaves most counter space.

There are usually four types of faucet valves offered by famous brands Ball valves, disk valve, compression, and cartridge valve.

The number of holes will determine which faucet type you can install. Go for any single handle model with a side sprayer with one or two punctures on the counter. For a minimalist look, you can pick single-hole faucets with pull-down features like high arced gooseneck faucets or pre-rinse faucets. If you want a fancier hassle-free option, go for a touch-less set with a motion sensor.

Similarly, if you have three to four holes already drilled in the counter, you can grab two-handled faucet models for your kitchen. It consumes more space on your counter while giving an artistic feel to the place. Two handles mean you can have temperature control. Also, with four holes layout, you can think about bridge faucets.

For example, touchless faucets do not require you to turn on using your hand. Directly wave your hand or any utensil under the spout, and water will start to fall. Similarly, pull-out and side sprayers are also some features that you can consider making the washing experience easier.

Water filter is one of the commonly used features in the areas where the water is hard. There is no need to install a separate water filtration system when you can have this feature in your faucet. Several aerator types allow clean water to pass through it.

The soap dispenser is also a beneficial add-on, and you can get it installed with the whole faucet set if you have space on the counter. Likewise, there are certain aerator types available for creating different water streams. Shower, laminar and standard aerator are some of the examples.

Kitchen faucets come in different finishing. You can choose from copper, chrome, nickel, and, last but not least stainless steel. A Stainless steel faucet is an attractive option as it tends to last longer than basic faucets. We cannot deny the Aesthetic feel it gives to the whole room area.
