A large, double-handle,
vintage-look faucet.

Faucet Styles

• Single-handle faucets let you set the water temperature with one control lever or knob.
• Double-handle faucets appeal to those who like the look of separate hot and cold controls; large wing-shape and cross-shape handles are popular styles. Various models will have these controls either close-set or wide-spread to fit pre-drilled openings in sinks.
• Valve types. With either configuration, faucets with replaceable cartridges or ceramic-disk valves are more reliable than those that use old-fashioned rubber washers.
• Restaurant Style. Large spray heads are attached to the end of a long hose that hangs from the wall near the sink, offering an easy way to grasp and spray with one hand.
