What is a built-in sink faucet?

A built-in sink faucet is a type of faucet that is installed directly into the wall, instead of being mounted on the sink or countertop. These faucets offer a clean and minimalist design, since only the spout and controls are visible, while the rest of the system is hidden within the wall.

Built-in sink taps can be made of different materials. Below we mention some common materials used in the manufacture of these faucets:

• Brass: Brass is a popular material for concealed faucets due to its durability and corrosion resistance. Brass faucets usually have a chrome or other colored finish to protect the material and give it an elegant look.
• Stainless steel: this is a durable option that resists wear and corrosion. Faucets made of stainless steel are perfect for modern and minimalist style bathrooms.
• Chrome: chrome is widely used in the manufacture of faucets due to its shine and ease of cleaning. Chrome faucets are popular for their shiny appearance and ability to stay stain-free.
• Other finishes: in addition to the materials mentioned, you can also find built-in faucets with gold finishes, built-in matte black sink faucet, brushed nickel and other colors.

Characteristics of the built-in sink faucet

Built-in sink faucets are an excellent option to give a touch of design and elegance to your bathroom. Here are some features of built-in faucets:

Modern aesthetics

The built-in faucets have a modern and minimalist design. They are integrated into the wall, leaving the sink or countertop uncluttered and creating a clean and elegant look.

Easy cleaning

Built-in faucets are easier to clean than conventional ones. The faucet mechanism is hidden, so usually only the spout is visible. This makes cleaning and maintenance easier.

More space

The distance between the sink and the tap spout is greater in the built-in models. This allows for better mobility and more space.

Flexibility in choosing the sink

Having a minimalist design, you can choose from a wide variety of basin models without worrying about compatibility with the built-in faucet.

Ceramic cartridge and anti-limescale aerator

Built-in faucets usually have a high-quality ceramic cartridge that prevents dripping and prolongs the life of the faucet. In addition, many models include an anti-limescale aerator and flow limiter, which saves water.

Disadvantages

Installation is more complex and expensive than conventional taps, since it requires making grooves or grooves in the wall. It is important to place the faucet at the appropriate height to avoid splashing.

How to choose a sink faucet?

Faucets are often treated as a design focal point of your bathroom, so choose the one that best suits your aesthetic preferences, practical needs and budget It is essential. Choosing suitable modern built-in faucets for your sink is important to ensure both functionality and style. Here we offer you some tips that can help you decide:

Type of faucet

• Recessed single-handle faucet: These faucets have a single lever that controls both water flow and temperature. They are popular for their minimalist design and ease of use.
• Two-handle faucet: Two-handle faucets have two separate handles. One is for hot water and the other is for cold water. They are more traditional and can give a classic touch to the bathroom.

Style and design

Consider the general style of your bathroom. Is it modern, classic or contemporary? Choose a faucet that fits the overall design. Recessed faucets are ideal for a clean and elegant look. They are installed on the wall and only the spout and handle are visible.

If you prefer a more striking design, look for faucets with chrome finishes, brushed nickel, gold or matte black.

Height and reach

The height of the faucet should be proportional to the sink. A faucet that is too high can splash water out of the sink. The reach (distance from the base to the nozzle) is also important. Make sure the nozzle reaches the center of the sink.

Materials and finishes

Brass faucets are durable and corrosion resistant. Chrome finishes are popular for their shine and easy cleaning. Matte black or stainless steel finishes can add a modern touch.

Additional features

Some faucets have additional features, such as aerators to save water or anti-limescale systems. Consider whether you want a faucet with a pull-out or extendable shower.

Budget

Faucet prices vary widely. Define your budget before starting the search. Remember that quality and durability are also important. Sometimes investing a little more is worth it in the long term.
