Bathroom Faucets

Bathroom sink faucets are a bit like the jewels of the styling space. With a wide array of design and finish combinations available you can create a space that is a tailored expression of your personal style. We’ll walk you through the options and help you find a faucet that fits your style and needs.

Considerations to Keep in Mind

Here are a few questions to get you started. The answers to these and other questions will help you choose a faucet that fits your space in terms of installation and scale.

  1. Are you replacing a faucet, remodeling your entire bathroom or building a new home?
  2. Do you need to match existing sink hole configurations?
  3. Is this for a master bathroom or a smaller space and who will be using it?

Bathroom Sink Faucet Finishes

Keep in mind that the finish you choose for your bathroom sink faucet will help to establish the mood of your styling space. Your choice of warm or cool hues and brushed or polished surfaces will help to shape your design. You can mix the metals in your space to reflect your style or match the finish throughout for a coordinated look.

Extensive Selection

Bathroom sink faucets are available in a wide range of finishes from dark oil-rubbed bronze to warm gold and cool polished chrome. These finishes coordinate across all bath and shower faucets, accessories and hardware.

Lasting Strength

Most finishes today are extremely durable due to a process called PVD (physical vapor deposition). PVD finishes resist scratches, corrosion and tarnishing.

Bathroom Sink Faucet Configurations

Bathroom sink faucets come in several configurations that pair with a preset number of faucet holes in the sink deck, vanity top or countertop. Be sure to select a faucet that matches the number of holes.
