Faucet Installation Types

Deck Mount

Deck mount faucets are typically installed directly onto the sink or countertop. This type of faucet installation can require one to three holes for mounting depending on the amount of handles and their placement.

Wall Mount

Wall mount faucets are typically installed onto the wall, or onto the backsplash directly above the sink. Wall mounted faucets can pair well with almost any style of sink, whether that is undermount, vessel, wall mount or other type. 

Single Control Wall Mount

Single control wall mount faucets are the same installation type as any other wall mount faucet, however, this style features only one handle to control both the temperature and flow. 

The Different Types of Handle Configurations

Single Handle

Single handle bathroom faucets are not a new invention, which proves them to be a trustworthy and efficient style of faucet for the bathroom. The single handle is responsible for controlling both temperature and flow of water.

 

Dual Handle

The dual handle bathroom faucet is a contemporary design and goes well with modern and industrial interiors. The dual handle is unique as there are two handles mounted directly onto the spout, making this faucet a single hole installation. One handle controls temperature while the other controls flow. 

 

Tall Spout

Tall spout faucets are a great style for the bathroom, as this wash area is used for several different types of tasks. Various users can utilize the extra space between the spout and the sink conveniently for hygienic practices such as face washing and teeth brushing.

Low Spout

Low spout faucets are a good style for bathrooms with limited space or ones with undermount sinks. The low spout facilitates less splashing and directs water straight to the sink. 

Arch Spout

Arch spout faucets are considered a tall spout style, but with a rounded umbrella handle shaped spout. The arched spout is great for all interior styles, and displays well in any color finish. 

 

Bathtub Faucets Installation Types

Deck Mount Bathtub Faucet 

Deck mount bathtub faucets typically go with a clawfoot, pedestal, or freestanding bathtub that supports a deck mount installation. There is typically a dedicated area on the tub with allotted space for a deck mount faucet installation.

Freestanding Bathtub Faucet

Freestanding bathtub faucets can be used in either contemporary or traditional interiors. Although they are freestanding, these faucets are typically mounted to the floor with a connection to the plumbing system. These faucets require professional installation if your bathroom is not already set up for a freestanding tub filler.

 

Wall Mount Bathtub Faucet Spout w/ Diverter

Wall mount bathtub spout faucets are common amongst bathrooms that have a shower and bathtub combo built in. The function of the spout is not a new invention, however the styles available today are much more design focused than those previously available on the market.

The Different Types of Faucet Handles

Faucets come with various handle styles, catering to different preferences and accessibility needs. There are five primary types: knob handles, lever handles, cross handles, joystick handles, and blade handles. More recently designed faucets may also feature wheel handles. Lever and blade handles are typically ADA compliant, as they offer easy gripping and require minimal force to operate, accommodating individuals with limited dexterity. ADA compliance for faucet handles is determined by several factors, including ease of operation, clearance for approach and use, and resistance to accidental activation.
