Floriano ™ Single-Handle Kitchen Faucet by Brizo
FU-SKU # 934987

Kitchen Faucets

Kitchen faucets are manufactured in 3 basic styles these days

Two-handle centerset style: Common in the bathroom, the spout and both
valves are combined on a single base unit.
Single-handle faucets: common in both baths and kitchens, are centersets
where hot and cold are controlled by one lever or knob that's often part of
the spout.
Widespread faucet: with this, the hot-water valve, cold-water valve and
spout are all mounted separately.

The right type to choose depends on your preference, your budget and the
sink (or counter area). Kitchen sinks generally have holes drilled for
8-inch centers or a single hole for single-handle faucets. Before you buy your faucet, it's essential to know the sink or countertop's
hole configuration. If you're going to want an instant hot-water spout, a
soap dispenser, a sprayer, or any other accessory, be sure to get a sink
that has the right hole configuration to accomodate these.

Before you purchase a new kitchen faucet, take a look at your current
kitchen and consider how you use it. Consider why, and how often, you head
to the sink. What do you like about your current faucet? Also, remember to
match the strainer and any other desired accessories that are purchased
separately.
