Brushed Nickel Bathroom Vanity Faucets and Drains

Buying Guide for Brushed Nickel Faucets

The brushed nickel faucets at Unique Vanities offer luxury and sophisticated functionality for your bathroom vanity area. Our line of faucets features items for use with vessel sinks, traditional sinks and modern decor. Since the faucet is at the center point of your entire vanity space, you want it to incorporate the presence of your room while still maintaining the ability to meet personal needs. In order to get the best possible use and enjoyment from your faucet, you need to know how to purchase the right item for your bathroom.

Length of Spout

The length and shape of the spout is an important consideration in your faucet purchase. The height and depth of your fixture, along with its shape, will define how you are able to use the sink in your bathroom. For example, a short spout above a shallow sink will likely limit the vanity use to hand washing and basic personal hygiene tasks. If you stretch the spout up a bit and deepen the sink basin, you can fill containers and perform other tasks in the bathroom. Only you know what you will need the vanity space for, so you must decide which faucet is appropriate. The spout should also go with your sink choice and decor. A sleek and modern bathroom may not be the best home for an elegantly carved, formal faucet. At the same time, a vessel sink and a traditional center mount faucet are unlikely to play well together, especially if the sink is top mounted.

Configuration

Once you have an idea about how you want your space to look and you have narrowed down your brushed nickel faucet choices to tall, short, straight or curved, then it is time to check the fit. This does not mean that your faucet will fit under the mirror or look appropriate with your cabinet size. Although those things are important, you also need to check the hole configuration for your fixture choice. Generally, faucets come in either a three hole or one hole configuration, matching the predrilled holes on your sink or vanity. It is essential that your fixture configuration match your vanity configuration in order to allow for a functional and visually appealing installation. Single hole faucets usually come with a spout that mounts directly to the vanity or sink. The level or controls for water temperature and flow are then mounted to the side or top of the spout. Triple hole faucets involve a spout and two water control handles or knobs. Usually, the water controls are mounted to either side of the spout.

Spread

Spread is an important thing to consider when you purchase a three hole faucet configuration, especially when the water temperature and flow control knobs are mounted on the same base as the spout. This means you cannot move those knobs away from or closer to the spout. The holes in the sink or vanity must perfectly line up with how the knobs and spout are spread. Inappropriate spread means you will not be able to install your fixture.
