About Faucets & Bath Taps

The average person only buys water faucets & bath taps once or twice in his life. So, nobody is really an expert when it comes to buying them. But they do play a huge role in the aesthetics and usability of your bathroom and kitchen.

Fifty or sixty years ago, nobody would have found it difficult to choose a water tap. Well, they might have spent some time thinking about whether to buy a steel tap or a bronze tap. But people who lived back then never experienced the range of options we have today. While it is incredibly good that we have access to all these different varieties. But that also makes it harder to pick one, nonetheless. Read this article to know more about them. Having a better understanding of them will help you make the right choices when you shop.

Different types of faucets & bath taps

Water taps do produce jets of water but buying a faucet is not rocket science. Believe me, it is not that difficult at all. However, you need to know some basics about them. Although you don’t have to learn every nitty-gritty detail of different models, it is really helpful if you know about at least the basic models. Here is a list of four of the most popular types of water faucets out there. In this article, you will also find some really useful tips that you can make use of while shopping.

Pull out spray faucets

When it comes to functionality, pull out faucets are the best in class. While they might win any design awards any time soon, these will give you the best value for money. Usually, pull out faucets have a handle that turns ninety degrees towards you. But that is if you want to open it at full throttle. These types of faucets are mostly used in kitchens. The simple construction of these models makes them last for a really long time. This makes it easier to keep them clean as well. You might be able to fit these models in a single hole. Only a few models that use this design require two holes.

Wall mount faucets & bath taps

The name describes what these are. Unlike a normal faucet that sits on the kitchen countertop, this type of faucet goes on the wall. So, the main difference is the aesthetic one. Some people might like the look of a wall-mounted tap better than a regular tap. But there are a few functional benefits as well. Firstly, because the tap sits on the wall instead of the countertop, you get more space on your countertop. Secondly, it will be easy for you to clean the countertop because you don’t have dirt sticking around the edges of the tap.

Water filtration faucets

A water filtration tap will not make a not potable water potable. But it will help you get rid of larger dust particles in the water and other things that are large enough. This is accomplished by a small filter that sits inside the nozzle of the water tap. Because of this, the nozzles of such taps tend to be slightly bigger than the taps that do not contain a filter. They are useful for both kitchen faucets & bath taps. If you want, you can also look for water filtration taps with an aerator. Having an aerator helps in reducing the splashes.

Pot filler faucets

Before you wonder what a pot filler tap is, just know that this is a very specific kind of tap. Not everybody would need it, and they are not very good looking either. Pot fillers have long foldable arms that you can extend and fold up. A typical pot filler will extend around one metre from the wall and extends a bit beyond the kitchen countertop. This feature is really helpful for filling large pots that are too big to fit under the kitchen faucet. You will find pot fillers with one or two handles. Taps with two handles will handle both hot and cold water.

Tips on how to buy Faucets & Bath Taps

These days, faucets are one of the essential items in every home. We use faucets for many days to day activities. We depend on them so much that life becomes really difficult if they are not working properly. However, finding the right type of taps can be much harder than you might think. Because there are so many different models out there, it is really tricky to pick the right one among them. But that is if you don’t know what criteria to consider in them. Here are some tips that you can use while shopping for them.

  • Type of faucet & bath tap – First of all, you should determine what type of tap you want. Remember that not all of them are kitchen taps. There are a few other types, like bathroom faucets & garden taps. Bathroom taps are very different from kitchen taps. Kitchen taps tend to focus less on design and more on functionality. Also, kitchen taps will have tall necks in order to accommodate large pots in the faucets.
  • Features – These days, faucets & bath taps offer a slew of different features. There are single-handle taps, double taps, bridge taps, and many more. You can look for features that are necessary for you. There are also some handy extra features like an aerator and filters. While these might not be necessary, it is good to have these features.
  • Durability and cost – The cost of faucets vary wildly depending on the model. When you consider the prices of bathroom taps, kitchen taps, and outdoor taps, the most expensive out of them are bathroom taps. This is because they have more focus on design and usability. The least expensive are outdoor taps.
  • Wall mount vs countertop mount – The type of kitchen and bathroom taps that you use depends on the plumbing as well. If the stopcocks for the taps sit on the countertop or the bathroom sink, then you cannot use a wall mount model for that. Also, consider the holes that you have and the distance between them to make sure that the tap is compatible with your plumbing.

There are many different types of faucets out there. These include bath taps , bidet taps , outdoor taps , shower taps , kitchen taps, conversion taps, basin taps and many more. You can find all of them easily by using our shopping search engine . That way, you can also compare the prices and features of different models and pick the best one among them. Finally, don’t forget to check out other amazing products from the bathroom fixtures category.

Question & Answer

Why are faucets & bath taps expensive?

Although a tap might look quite simple from the outside, it requires a lot of work to make a tap. Many tops use more complex valve mechanisms that can handle hot and cold water while also making the operation of the valve easy for anybody. This itself requires a lot of engineering. And then comes the design aspect and the material of the taps. That being said, you will also be able to find simple and basic taps for very low prices as well. Basically, faucets are only expensive if you are looking for high-end ones.

Why are bathroom faucets so short?

If you compare bathroom taps to kitchen taps, the first thing that you will notice is that bathroom taps are quite short. While one of the reasons for it is that short taps look better than tall ones, there are other reasons as well. People use bathroom taps mostly for washing hands. Therefore, short taps are better because they reduce splashes. This is the reason why most taps have spouts directly above the drain. Secondly, shorter taps are stronger and less likely to break. Yet another reason is that short taps require less material than tall taps.

How do LED faucets work?

LED faucets are a very recent innovation among water taps. Such taps can be much more than just a marketing gimmick. Simple LED taps use an array of LEDs that light up when the pressure sensor inside the tap detects water pressure. But more advanced models have temperature sensors as well. These taps use a set of blue LEDs and another set of red LEDs. So, when the water is hot, the red LEDs light up, and when the water is cold, the blue LEDs light up. Someday, this can save you from scalding yourself. Also, it looks futuristic to have lights on the faucets.
