How to choose?
When buying a kitchen faucet, it is recommended to pay attention to some details that will help make the right choice.
Control
First of all, you should decide on the type of temperature and water pressure adjustment. The German brand Kaiser offers models of two types: with two turntables or single-lever, each of them has both pluses and minuses. Products with two valves are ideal for kitchens in a classic style. They look very solidly and richly, especially painted in bronze or copper. Unfortunately, such models are more suitable for the bathroom than for the kitchen. Some housewives are engaged in washing dishes more than 5 times a day and each time it is not very convenient to adjust the temperature of the water, as the procedure takes not only time, but also makes it necessary to spend more water, for which we pay money.
It is for this reason that in modern apartments they try to install mixers with a nut, which allow maintaining the selected liquid temperature. It is enough to set a comfortable degree once and the lever can be lowered. The next time you will only need to adjust the water pressure and do the washing up.
By the way, raising and lowering the lever is much easier than turning each valve.
Spout
The shape and appearance of the crane are selected depending on the stylistic orientation of the interior to the taste of the customer. However, there are some nuances that are not related to design. The practicality of the crane is also very important. Pay attention to the faucets with a swivel body, which will allow you to wash the dishes at any angle and, if necessary, work directly on two sinks. With sufficient height, such models can be used to fill pots or glassesstanding on the countertop rather than in the sink. The spout length should also be chosen wisely, too low can make it difficult to wash large containers. A very tall device, in turn, is sometimes the cause of splashing water to the sides. This parameter is usually selected taking into account the shape and depth of the wash.
Additional functions
Modern faucets come with practical additions that will make working in the kitchen easier. For example, a retractable spout will be an excellent option, which will quickly wash a large pot, clean the sink or draw water into a vase. A great addition will be the presence of an integrated filter for drinking water. There are models with two spouts: top and bottom, each of which is intended for washing certain dishes. Cutlery, cups and fruits can be washed under the bottom, plates and pans - under the top.
