Homeowners spend hours and hours selecting cabinets, counter tops and appliances, and at the end of the process they often don’t consider the importance of the faucet! FUNCTION is number one when shopping for a faucet as it gets more use than any other fixture. Here are a few tips before you hit the showroom:

  • Decide on a budget. You’ll be amazed at the range. Consider the quality and how expensive it may be to repair.
  • If you are replacing an existing faucet, consider the size and choose a new faucet with the same layout as the old one.
  • Pick a style: single hole has two handles and a spigot has one.
  • Match the faucet sytle to other faucets in the room: tub, sink or bar.
  • Choose the material: brass, die cast zinc alloy.
  • Pick a finish: chrome, natural brass, pewter, nickel or satin.
  • Select the handle: Pull handle, single or double handles or knobs. Spray opetions are also very popular.
    Your plumber is also a great source for guidance before you begin shopping. Your Rite-Loom or Bedrock designer can help from start to finish, so get them involved from day one!
