Choosing High-End Faucets for Your Kitchen or Bathroom

If you're remodeling and you have the budget to splurge on high-end faucets - then why not? It's only natural for a homeowner to want your home to look as good as possible, and quality, top-of-the-range faucets offer a great addition.

However, high-end faucets are still a major investment, so today we'll take a look at the best practices for buying them.

1. Checking Out the Brand Reputation

If you don't know much about faucet brands, you should speak to your local Toronto plumber. Being aware of the most reputed brands is key to making a good investment. Online research of each specific model will help you to make the best decision, so look for:

  • customer feedback
  • durability
  • functionality
  • and features.

It is crucial to do your research; because you want to be sure that the faucet functions the way you want it to.

2. Consider the Installation Process

As a DIY plumber, you may want to do the installation yourself. If that's the case, you need to ensure that you know how to mount it and you have to be confident in your ability to install the model and the type of faucet you buy. The last thing you want to do, is to damage it after spending money buying it. If you're unfamiliar, you should rather hire a plumber to handle the installation for you.

3. Give Thought to Installation Requirements

Getting the exact measurements of your mounting area is crucial when it comes to installing a new faucet. Pay attention to the installation area and observe the following:

  • How big is the mounting area?
  • How many faucets can you install?
  • Do you need a single or double unit?

Write down all the details regarding the installation and ensure that you purchase the right faucet to prevent having to go back to the store or having to ship the item back to the online store.

Expert tip: Master Toronto plumbers usually carry faucets in their trucks, or can quickly and easily source the type of faucet you require at a good price, thanks to their bulk buying power.

4. Check the Faucet's Functionality

When buying a faucet, what matters more: aesthetic appeal or efficiency? It may not be worth getting the prettiest faucet if it is going to require more repairs in the long run.

Don't buy a faucet that has plenty aesthetic appeal, but will start leaking after a couple of months.

Quality of design might be more important in the long run, so be sure that you weigh up the pros and cons of each, comparing features to ensure that you get the best value for your money.

5. Consider Design Style

When it comes to design, you can find all types of styles, ranging from country to barn, rustic, minimalist or Victorian. Your fixture should match the style of the room, or else it may stand out awkwardly.

What material will best i n your room? It's important to choose a feature in a material that will suit the style of your room. The most common materials for faucets include stainless steel, brass and chrome.

High-end faucets come with a range of features to suit your home and your lifestyle. You can either buy them online, or from a plumbing supply store, which will refer you to a good installation plumber.
