The faucet in your kitchen sees a lot of activity. It’s used to wash dishes, scrub hands, and clean fruits and vegetables for the family. Because of the demanding workload, you’ll want a kitchen faucet that can withstand the test of time. If you are looking to shop for a new kitchen faucet, there are several things to consider.

The style is one crucial factor to consider when picking a new faucet. You can choose to make your faucet a focal point for your kitchen. Make sure you select a design that works well with appliances and other features. From stainless steel to wrought iron, the styles for kitchen faucets are endless.

Height is another feature to considering when buying a new kitchen faucet. While style is important, no matter how much you like a design if it does not fit in your kitchen space, you cannot buy it. Measure window sills or kitchen cabinets before you go shopping to ensure you’re buying the right size for your area. The kitchen faucet will have to work around what is already there.

Spray feature is an essential and convenient feature to consider when shopping. There are two main spray features: a steady jet or spray. The spray feature does not need to be a part of the faucet as it can be connected to the side. If it is a part of the faucet, your options are pull-down, pull-out or coil.
