25 Facts About Kitchen Faucets
21. Call in the pros.
When the countertop changes along with the faucet, you might want to call in a pro installer. There's little margin for error when drilling through counters.
22. Have it your way.
We're used to getting burgers any way we want them. Why not faucets? Find a shape you like, then pick a finish.
23. Epoxy finishes.
Colored epoxy finishes offer a nonmetallic alternative. Choose from white, biscuit, almond, black, and other colors that blend into most kitchens.
24. Brassy.
Polished brass is an upscale favorite, but the raw metal can be hard to keep shiny. Look for models guaranteed not to corrode, tarnish, or discolor.
25. Never forget.
No. 1 on your to-do list when changing faucets: Turn off the water supply before beginning your project. Or prepare for a lesson you don't want to learn.
