Widespread faucets feature separate hot and cold handles that are independent from the spout. They can be mounted on the countertop or on sinks with three holes that fit 8* to 16" from one side to the other.
Compact and space-efficient, centerset faucets fit sinks with three faucet holes that measure 4" from one side to the other. The spout and handles make up one compact connected piece.
Single-handle faucets allow you to control water volume and temperature with a single handie - typically placed above the spout. They're designed for sinks with a single hole or, when combined with an escutcheon plate, for sinks with three centerset holes.
● Automatic faucets have the benefit of automatically turning off after hand washing, which minimises water consumption. Sensor faucets eliminate the need for parents to check that kids have turned off the faucet when they are placed in a home. Since there are no handles to twist or pull, they can also help the elderly and people with arthritis or other mobility-limiting disorders. Additionally, the chance of a sink overflow caused by a Bathroom Tap being left on accidentally or on purpose is significantly decreased by their automated shutoff function.
● Automatic faucets are widespread in public restrooms, especially in airports and hotels, where they are believed to reduce water use and the spread of disease-causing bacteria. However, some published information suggests otherwise. They can also be discovered in some private homes' bathrooms and kitchens. Other usage include providing drinking water for cattle or pets, where an animal's presence causes water to flow into a dish or watering trough.
