Now that you have decided to remodel your bathroom, the time has come to determine how extensive the changes will be. Maybe all you want to do is install a new toilet or change up the mirror. Then again, you might be searching for a new bathroom faucet. Here are some tips for finding the right one for you.
Before Beginning Your Search
While it’s exciting to work on changing aspects of your home that you dislike, you need to think about what you do before you do it. Rushing into the process can cause you to make mistakes or come away with products that make you unhappy while draining your available budget for the project. Choose a faucet that values function over form, especially if the bathroom is upgraded is always busy when it’s for everyone in the family to get ready for the day ahead. If you have elderly relatives living with you, or young children, you will also want to consider hands-free options that are easy to turn on and which will shut off on their own. A smaller bathroom sink also needs a smaller faucet, and that’s why it’s so vital that you get the measurements right.
Taking Measurements
Now the time has come to take the necessary measurements of your current faucet. This ensures that the new bathroom faucet will fit in the space you already have. Start by measuring how thick the deck – the countertop or sink – is. Then determine how many holes are present in the deck. Finally, figure out the size of the spaces between each hole. Find the rough position of the center and measure from there.
Buying a New Faucet
Make sure the finish of the new faucet is the same as the finish on bath and shower fixtures. When everything matches, the room feels more complete. The choices you make during this step also depend on the size and function of the bathroom that you are modifying. A powder room has different dimensions and purposes than a master suite, even if the master suite is on the ground floor and isn’t upstairs or found in the basement. Then you need to make sure that the faucet doesn’t jut out too far over the countertop. This prevents water from splashing all over the counter instead of landing in the basin. You’ll also want to make sure that the faucet lasts as long as you want it to, and that it is covered by a lifetime warranty offered by the manufacturer.
