What should we pay attention to when buying kitchen faucets?

Whether your taps are broken and need replacing or you need to redecorate your kitchen, before choosing new faucets you should take a moment to consider these points.
1. Appearance
Most people choose a faucet based on appearance alone, which is a mistake. Appearance is important, but you should get the look you want without compromising on convenience and long-term use.
2. Pay attention to spout height and range
Kitchen Faucet spouts vary in height and range, so you should choose according to the actual conditions in your own kitchen. If there is a shelf above the Kitchen Sink, a high nozzle may not be suitable. For three-bowl kitchen sinks, a short reach nozzle may not extend to all bowls.
3. Choose a ceramic valve
Faucets with ceramic valves greatly avoid dripping. Although other types of valves usually do not drip for many years, they cannot match the durability of ceramic valves.
4.Surface Finishes
Faucet finishes should match nearby cabinets, hardware, towel racks, etc. Common finishes are chrome, nickel, bronze etc.
Chrome is the most durable finish and is the easiest to keep clean.

Nickel finishes are usually labelled "brushed", "satin" or "stainless steel" and have a dull sheen.
Bronze faucets are often referred to as "oiled" or "frosted" bronze. But the surface is coated instead of metal.
5. Holes in the sink
The hole in the sink determines the installation of the kitchen faucet, some faucets are three-hole installations; some single-handle faucets have a cover to hide the extra hole. So be sure to pay attention to the number of holes in the sink to match the faucet you choose.
