Truth be told, the answer to this question is likely going to come down to personal preference and even the surrounding components in your bathroom or kitchen. Nonetheless, having installed more than a few faucets over the years, we are happy to provide some recommendations! Chrome has long been a popular choice and we don’t see this popularity going away anytime soon. It has the flexibility to fit in a number of different bathroom/kitchen styles and it’s tough to beat the shiny appearance it possesses. Matte Black faucets are perfect for those in search of a modern faucet that can also serve as a statement piece. Plus, matte black has the unique ability to not be as prone to water spots or fingerprints. Looking for a finish that isn’t nearly as common as the two above, yet more than capable of adding some pizzazz? Try gold! While it may not fit in every single bathroom or kitchen, there’s no denying that is a stunning and trendy finish!

If you start to look through the various faucets available nowadays, you’ll notice there are no shortage of options to pick from. Different styles, types, finishes, heights, brands, you name it! Simply put, we’re confident you’ll be able to find one that matches what you have envisioned for the space. With that in mind, the actual brand is an important piece to the equation, as it can impact the durability, appearance and even access to repair parts. A few of the faucet brands that you can’t go wrong with are Delta Faucet Company, Moen, Kohler and American Standard.

When it comes to a commercial facility, you’ll notice that you need to approach certain things (related to your plumbing system) in a slightly different manner than you would for residential houses. In regards to faucets, two of the biggest things that you’ll want to take into account is the faucet’s durability and the ability to prevent the spread of germs.

First, in regards to durability, that is fairly straightforward. Commercial faucets are going to be used quite often and it’s safe to say people won’t always be very gentle with them. As such, even if you’re going with an inexpensive faucet, you don’t want it breaking down quickly either. With that being said, simply look for for a faucet made by a reliable brand. Secondly, with the amount of people entering your commercial facility, anything you can do to limit the spread of germs (thus keeping your employees and customers healthy) will be well worth it. That leads us to the rise in popularity of touchless faucets. Ever since the pandemic, these have become more and more common throughout commercial facilities, and are certainly a worthwhile investment.
