Handle Type
There are some kitchen faucet choices that affect form and function equally. Choosing the handle type is one of those features that straddles both considerations.
Single Handle
Anyone who preps and cooks most of their meals at home will appreciate the ease-of-use of a single-handle faucet. Temperature and flow can easily be adjusted and fine-tuned with one hand, one finger, or even an elbow if needed! It’s a good choice for busy kitchens and certainly for anyone with limited mobility.
Two-Handle
There is no mistaking the dramatic style statement a two-handle faucet can make. With the many handle styles available, it’s possible to take your kitchen to a new place by changing your faucet alone. The Transitional Bridge Faucet has an elegant two-handle design that becomes an impactful kitchen centerpiece. Whether you are going for a traditional look or an edgier industrial style, there are two-handle faucets that can help you achieve the look.
