There are a few crucial aspects to consider when selecting a bathroom faucet. You have to decide on which style you like the most first. Would you like a shiny, sleek modern faucet or are you going more classic and traditional? For example, modern faucets tend to have smoother lines and a shiny finish, while classic faucets may feature curved or ornate elements. After you have decided on a style, consider the faucet finish. Finishes such as chrome, nickel, and brass can dramatically affect the aesthetic of your bathroom. Chrome is shiny and bright, nickel has a warm tone, and brass can add some vintage charm.
Another factor is the way the faucet operates. Two handle or one handle faucet? It is also user-friendly as you can operate the single-handle faucet by rotating a single handle with one hand. However, a two-handle faucet offers individual control of the hot and cold water, which many people prefer. You may also want to consider what the spout height is (although this info is generally on the website). You want a high spout so that you can wash hands or fill containers easily? Or do you want a compact spout that is shorter? Also, consider getting a faucet with an aerator. An aerator helps in minimizing the volume of water that flows out, it saves water and reduces water bill.
Step #1 Turn off the water supply to your sink. This is very important! Before doing this and afterward, you must do this or else you will have the water spraying all over the place. Then, slowly remove the old faucet by unscrewing the nuts below the sink. After you have taken off the old faucet, take a moment to make the area spotless so that there are no remnants of old stuck junk there. Then you will have to wrap some plumber tape around the threads of your new faucet that you just cleaned. It aids in sealing and ensures no leakages with the help of this tape.
A great example of this innovation are the smart faucets. These faucets utilize sensors that can tell if you have put your hand under the tap. That means no grabbing handles or knobs to get water — though it is a true benefit in keeping the clean and germ-free. Another option smart faucets allow is making the water flow in a few use scenarios, and also make it different in hot or cold water through the switch level.
Put a towel — or a bucket, either will work fine — around the sink and remember to shut off the water supply in the sink and drain as much water as you can out of the pipes. That means removing the old faucet next. That means unscrewing the nuts that are holding it in place under the sink. Well, be careful with this step, otherwise you can break pipes or hurt other things attached to the sink.
After that, you will need to clean the area for the faucet. Now this is pretty important because it will make the new faucet sit properly and work. Clean that up and put some plumber tape around the threads of your new faucet. This is a leak-proof tape that prevents oil leaks. After that slip the new faucet through the holes in your sink and be sure that it is aligned. Then screw the nuts that accompany the faucet to fix it in place and tighten them carefully with a wrench. Lastly, restore the water supply to the tap and smile as you test out your new faucet!
