Choosing a Kitchen Faucet

Purchasing a kitchen faucet requires a combination of cosmetic appeal and performance. Faucets range from $50 to over $1,000, depending on the style, finish, faucet type and the inclusion of additional accessories. The best advice for faucet shopping is to choose the most durable faucet type in a style you like with a finish that works well in your kitchen. If you are involved in new construction or a complete remodel, your choices are limited only to budget. Vigo Industries has several different types of fixtures and finishes to choose from. Whether it’s single or double hole, with or without additional accessories, Vigo Industries’ kitchen faucets are a smart versatile choice.

When buying a kitchen faucet it is important to keep in mind its mechanics. The mechanics will affect the durability and the maintenance of the faucet. Kitchen faucets generally come in three types: ball, cartridge and ceramic disc. Vigo Industries’ faucets come with the high end, ceramic disc.

A ball faucet is very common in the residential kitchen. It comes with a single handle and a component that controls the water flow and temperature. This component is a metal or plastic ball with slots that align with the hot and cold water. It has the most parts of all the washer-less (without rubber seal) faucets, but it is most susceptible to leakage. Vigo Industries offers cartridge and ceramic disc faucets, which are very durable. Both faucet types come in single or double handles. All the parts that are subject to wear in the cartridge faucet are contained in a replaceable cartridge, though they are rarely used. Ceramic disc faucets are the latest in technology and most dependable. Two ceramic discs control both the temperature of the water and the flow.

Vigo kitchen faucets are economically priced with a modern style that fits into a variety of kitchens. These faucets are built to last offering superior durability, and are covered by a limited lifetime warranty. Choose something you love that is durable so that it lasts a lifetime - or at least until you want to remodel your kitchen!
