It is almost impossible for a kitchen to look spectacular with a dripping, corroded, and leaking faucet. Faucets are one of the most reliable purchases as most come with a warranty of lifetime for the first buyers. Unlike before, there are several designs of faucets available these days according to specific uses. Below are three types of faucets that are currently popular:

Single-handle faucets

While purchasing a single-handle faucet, it is important to check the distance to the window ledge or backsplash as while the handle is rotating, it may hit anything that’s behind it.

Two-handle faucets

Two-handle faucets have a traditional setup, where you have two separate handles, one for the hot water and one for the cold. These handles can be a part of the baseplate or can be mounted separately as well. Also, usually the sprayer is separate. The biggest perk of opting for a two-handle faucet is the precise temperature adjustment it provides as compared to the single one. Installation of two-handle faucets is difficult and to adjust the temperature, you need to use both your hands.

Hands-free faucets

The best hands-free faucets have an activator on the front of the faucet, which makes it easier to locate hands. Also, one can simply switch to the manual operation by sliding a movable panel that covers the sensor. The biggest advantage of using a hands-free faucet is its convenience. Also, the water gets activated with the help of the movement sensor. This ensures that no matter how full or dirty the hands are, they can be cleaned without touching the fixture. Some hands-free faucets have designs that are not so user-friendly as the activator is located at the back or toward the bottom of the faucet. These locations are hard to find when your hands are full or dirty.
