For a quick and easy upgrade in a house’s most popular room, nothing makes a bigger impact with less sweat and expense than replacing an outdated faucet.
Of all the working parts in a kitchen, the faucet might be the one we most often press into service. An average family turns on the tap more than 40 times a day, whether to clean dishes, fill pots or simply rinse off vegetables. That’s a lot of on-off cycles for a product that should last for years. That’s why we at Gravity Bath Ware have put together some tips on picking the right faucet style, body Types, and features for your ideal Kitchen Faucet.
Kitchen Faucet Spout Styles
When it comes to the type of arc you select, it is important to make sure that the faucet’s spout will effectively reach the entire sink and that the size of the spout works with the size of the sink and the overall kitchen.
Spout Style: Swan Neck
Swan Neck Faucets come in many sizes and shapes, they provide a high arc and are great for filling large vessels or washing big pots. Swan neck Faucets provide more work space over the sink and add an elegant note to an ever-expanding variety of decors.
Spout Style: Straight

These faucets provide a longer reach into the sink as the spouts extend further from the faucets. They can come in varying heights; short or long, choose the height best suited to the design of your sink and your usage.
Spout Style: Pull Out

The spouts are curved or angled, allowing the head to be pulled out and extended with a flexible spray hose that can be directed right where you need it. Pull-out faucets have a longer section of the head that pulls away, allowing for a larger grip area.
