When looking at new bathroom faucets, there are some key things you should consider. For starters, when you buy, you will likely end up buying the drain along with the faucet. Just remember that the design of your bathroom vanity or countertop should complement the faucet and vice versa. In addition, as you start searching for bathroom faucets for a sink, you will need to know if your sink has a single hold design, a four-inch mini-spread, center-set, or eight-inch widespread. Therefore, if you are putting a new sink in, you would need to buy the sink prior to the faucet.
Now, if you were looking at bathroom faucets for a tub or Jacuzzi whirlpool, you want to know if the installation would need a wall mounted unit, a deck mount, or if a handspray would be needed. For shower bathroom faucets, the best option is to talk to the plumber first since there are so many great choices. Together, you can determine the best style of faucet for your style of shower. While style is always important when shopping for bathroom faucets, another very important factor is the warranty. Unfortunately, most people never even thing about bathroom faucets as having a warranty but most do. However, the majority of warranties only apply to the original purchaser. In addition, you would need to hang onto your paperwork and receipts for proof should the faucet ever break while under warranty and the warranty stipulations. You will find many manufacturers of bathroom faucets offering a lifetime warranty, specifically on metal finishes. The second most common type of warrant is a 10-year, which is actually quite good. The only thing to remember is that for bathroom faucets where the finish has been created special to give the design a rustic look, no finish warranty would apply in most cases. Therefore, when you start shopping for a new faucet, find out what type of warranty you would have. The other important thing associated with warranties and bathroom faucets is that some products will actually carry two to five year warranties on the various components, which would include such things as the hoses. Then, many manufacturers of bathroom faucets so offer extended warranties on the body of the faucet, which is very affordable. Finally, some bathroom faucets have full limited warranties so the key is that you simply need to ask so you have the reassurance should something go wrong, you are covered. |
