When counter space is at a premium in the kitchen there are some simple solutions to maximize every square inch. One of the ways that you can make the best use of the counter in and around the sink is to install wall mounted kitchen faucets rather than the more common bench mounted faucets.
Wall mounted faucets will take a little extra work to install, particularly if they are to be installed into an existing kitchen that previously used bench mounted faucets. Because they are mounted directly onto the wall or the splashback, there will have to be some access into the wall cavity to run the plumbing.
Once the plumbing has been properly dealt with the faucets themselves operate in exactly the same way as normal. The faucets are also available in a standard range of finishes, too, such as chrome, nickel and brass. The handles themselves may be traditional cross handles or you could opt for more of an antique look with lever handles.
You may be tempted to perform the removal or installation of wall mounted kitchen faucets yourself and doing so is certainly the kind of thing that an accomplished home handyman might attempt. However if you haven’t had a lot of experience with this kind of a job it is best left to the professionals to perform. When it comes to ensuring that water pipes have been properly connected and sealed there are far too many possible problems to risk doing it yourself with limited knowledge.
Wall mounted faucets are functionally efficient items of hardware for the kitchen. They free up counter space and they look good above the sink, particularly if the finish matches the look and style of the sink you have installed. Choosing from a contemporary to a more antique or traditional spout will complete the look and provide the simple elegance or functional beauty you require.
