Whenever

your process of redesigning your kitchen, make sure you
consider it as one major topic. Whether your kitchen
ideas will succeed depends
a lot on the kitchen faucets and
the way they are installed into the sink. So
give yourself a little time and lets see what types of
faucets you might want to consider.
Different
groups of faucets
Generally speaking, two basic groups of kitchen faucets
can be considered. Wall mounted or sink-mounted. In the
past wall mounted faucets where quite common, whilst
nowadays the bulk of the faucets are directly mounted
on top of the kitchen sinks.
Large
variety of different handles and shapes
For
each of the above mentioned groups a huge variety is
available on the market:
 Faucet
with single control lever are probably the
most common. Mostly installed directly into the kitchen
sinks, they bevel from left to right. With only one control
handle the quantity and the temperature are controlled.
 Faucets with pull out spray head can be directed directly
into the sink. This way the water is sprayed exactly
where it is needed. Pulling the spray head back into
the faucet, lets it work like a standard one.
Wall
mounted kitchen faucet tend to have a rather long
hose towards the sink. Available with single-control
or two handle control, the wall mounted solution allows
more space on top of the worktop.
Additionally

as gooseneck shapes if you need to fill large
buckets in a kitchen sink. You best check with your kitchen designer
the different options for your kitchen. Additional ask
your local plumber to get additional feedback on quality
of certain kitchen faucets and brands he might recommend
from his experience.
