From this article you will learn:

- what to consider when choosing a faucet for the kitchen,

Kitchen faucets and their types
Over the last decades, the kitchen faucets market has developed significantly. Today, choosing a specific model for a sink is no longer so obvious. The very wide range of products of this type makes it difficult for some consumers to make the right decision. That is why it is so important that each installer knows the full range of possibilities and knows which solution will work best in a specific case.
Kitchen faucets can be divided according to various factors - both in terms of appearance and specific functions. What types are available on the market?
Wall-mounted and floor-standing kitchen faucets
This division results from changes that have occurred in kitchen designs over the years. Today, the most common choice are freestanding kitchen faucets, which are mounted in the countertop or sink hole. Hot and cold water is connected to them underneath - using flexible connectors, which makes installation very easy. Due to the fact that the size of the faucet and holes are unified, choosing a specific model or replacing it in the future does not pose any problems.
In the past, the standard were wall-mounted kitchen faucets that were screwed directly to the hot and cold water connections coming out of the wall. As this solution is no longer being used nowadays, the offer of these products is addressed rather to users who replace an old battery without modernizing the entire installation.

Single and double handle kitchen faucets
A similar classification is based on the number of faucet holders. Previously, all models had two taps - one controlling the stream of hot water and the other cold. Currently, a much more convenient solution is one handle that is used to set both the temperature and the power of the water stream. This type of faucet can be operated with one hand, making it a more practical choice.
Kitchen faucets with different spouts
The spout is one of the elements that most influences the comfort of using the sink. Its height and reach determine how large vessels can fit under it. For this reason, kitchen faucets must be much more functional than bathroom faucets. The market includes movable, stationary, flexible and spring spouts. The selection of specific amenities in this matter should depend on the design of the kitchen and the purpose of the sink.
Touchless kitchen faucets
This is a very economical solution that allows you to control the stream without using your hands. Touchless faucets automatically dispense water, reacting to movement. They are perfect for public buildings, but due to their limited functionality, they are rarely used in kitchens.
Thermostatic kitchen faucets
Kitchen faucets of this type have two knobs, one of which is used to control the water temperature and the other - the stream strength. As the first value can be set permanently, one hand is enough to operate it. The built-in thermostat precisely monitors the temperature, which allows you to save water. This mechanism also remains insensitive to pressure fluctuations.

This is a very helpful function when washing dishes, because it is much easier to reach all the bottoms of pots of different depths with a stream of water.

It is worth noting that the colorful Zumba faucets are distinguished not only by their practical spout, but also by a very attractive design. They are characterized by slim shapes and minimalist design. However, they attract attention primarily with their expressive colors, which makes them an element that contrasts in an interesting way with the more subdued shades of the surroundings.
Red and yellow Zumba kitchen faucets will fit perfectly into kitchens decorated in a retro or industrial style. Green or blue perfectly match the aesthetics inspired by nature and look great surrounded by lush vegetation. It is also worth mentioning the more universal choices, i.e. white and gray. It's hard to imagine a kitchen where such elements wouldn't fit. The Zumba series also includes a black kitchen faucet, which fits perfectly into modern, minimalist interiors with a raw, elegant character.

How to choose kitchen faucets?
Do you want to help your client choose the perfect kitchen faucet for his interior? The decision should depend, firstly, on the design of the kitchen itself, and secondly, on the preferences of its users. On this basis, you will select various product functions as well as its appearance.
The most important parameters of a kitchen faucet include its height and range, because these dimensions determine the functionality of the dishwasher. They must be adapted to both the depth of the sink and the space available above it - watch out, among other things, for cabinets or other kitchen equipment installed above.
The basic criterion is also the method of mounting the battery. If your client has an old installation and does not intend to modernize it, it will be necessary to choose a wall-mounted model. In most other cases, however, you can rely on kitchen faucets from the Zumba series by Ferro. It's the perfect solution for any kitchen!
