          Best White Kitchen Faucets Buying Guide

          Most people might be wondering why anyone would want to spend that little bit extra on a white faucet instead of a stainless steel or copper version. Well, aside from the obvious aesthetic bonuses, they are actually very durable units that will be able to resist large amounts of water.

          When you are shopping for a white kitchen faucet, then you’ll be looking for more or less the same thing as you would from a regular faucet: functionality, the single lever operation, how powerful is the water pressure, how easy is it to install, etc. Here are just a few things that you’ll be looking for:

          What Is Your Faucet Coated With?

          This white enamel finish will be great for keeping off water wear and tear. This material is very smooth and will reduce the risk of food matter drying and getting stuck to it. Enamel is very easy to clean and will retain its original gloss for a lot longer than stainless steel.

          You can also get enamel in various colors, so if you want a tap that will match the look of the decor of your home, then you should choose an enamel model.

          Most faucet manufacturers coat their faucet using a method called physical vapor deposition, which is when the coating is not simply painted onto the metal but is rather integrated into the faucet itself.

          How Good Does It Look In Your Kitchen?

          One of the main appeals of white kitchen faucets (and black kitchen faucets too!) is the ability to be integrated into the decor of your kitchen. This is in contrast to a brass kitchen fitting which often has the drawback of being a golden color that will be tough to match with the other elements of your kitchen.

          You can contrast the whiteness of your kitchen faucets with darker colors, which will mean that you won’t be 100% reliant on having matching white fittings.

          What Is The Design Of Your Faucet?

          Having the right shape and contour of your faucet will be necessary if you are working with limited kitchen space or have a shelving unit above your sink. If you have a swan-necked affair, then you’ll have to be conscious about whether you have shelving or ornaments above your faucet.

          Having a longer faucet does have its advantages though, as it will give you a lot more room to work in the sink area itself. If you are planning on hosting regular gatherings of lots of people and expect to have a mountain of dishes in your sink afterward, then we would certainly recommend the longer neck.

          Frequently Asked Questions

          Does A White Faucet Show Stains Easier?

          It all depends on the construction of your unit. If it is made from enamel, then the chances are that food matter and other waste will stick to it but will be very easy to clean off, due to its non-stick properties.

          Should Your Faucet Have Dual Handles?

          This will all depend on your preference, as there are pros and cons to having dual handles. One of the main reasons for having a single handle is for the control that you’ll have over the water pressure. This will be very important for getting rid of stubborn stains such as cereal that gets caked onto the bottom of your cookery bowl.
