What does a kitchen faucet with a flexible spout mean?
Kitchen faucets come in many different varieties. You can choose from free-standing taps, i.e. mounted on a countertop or sink, or wall-mounted taps. The kitchen faucet can be single-handle, two-handle or touchless. An important element of every kitchen faucet is the spout. It can be flexible (flexible), extendable or rotatable. A sink tap with a flexible spout significantly increases the comfort of using the kitchen. Above all:
ensures convenient washing of dishes, especially large ones that protrude beyond the sink;
- makes it easier to pour water into pots and containers that can be placed, for example, on a countertop;
- allows thorough cleaning of all nooks and crannies of the sink;
- solves the problem of water splashing outside the sink;
- it does not crack or break when operating the hose in different directions.
How does a kitchen faucet with a flexible spout work?
The variable height of the spout increases the range of the water stream. So you can reach the dishes and areas outside the sink with water, and precisely control the stream inside the sink. Thanks to this, you do not flood the dishes, countertops and floors drying nearby every time you want to wash e.g. a large pot or other larger item from all sides. Individual models of faucets with a flexible spout operate on slightly different principles. A flexible faucet can simply bend freely. The integrated handle helps keep it in a stable position. There are also models equipped with shape memory. You can easily position such a snake in one favorite position.
What should you pay attention to when choosing a kitchen faucet with a flexible spout?
Kitchen equipment is usually a long-term investment. It is not replaced every season. Therefore, when choosing a kitchen faucet with a flexible spout (or any other), pay attention primarily to the quality of workmanship. Solid kitchen fittings are equipped with ceramic heads, which are the basis for long, trouble-free operation of the faucet and convenient and efficient management of the water stream and temperature. For maximum durability, the faucet body should be made of brass or stainless steel. Make sure what exactly the chrome or other coating covers...
It is definitely worth checking whether the selected product has an aeration aerator. The presence of this inconspicuous element allows you to reduce water consumption by up to 50% - without reducing the comfort and efficiency of washing dishes. Additionally, the aerator softens the water, minimizing the formation of unsightly streaks on the dishes. Another extremely useful solution is the mode switch, which allows you to change the water stream from compact to dispersed and vice versa, depending on current needs.
Optional solutions that are worth having in your kitchen faucet include: an anti-scale system, a thermostat that allows you to set one constant water temperature and the shape memory function mentioned in the previous paragraph, which is an alternative to supporting the hose with a handle. The appearance of the battery is also important for most customers. The fittings should match the design of the sink and the overall style of the kitchen. A kitchen faucet with a flexible spout usually has a minimalist, elegant and quite universal character, so it easily combines with contemporary arrangements, especially modern, loft and classic ones.
Finally, it's worth learning how to keep your faucet clean. Regular cleaning is the basis for keeping the product in good technical and visual condition for a long time, so the maintenance process should be as burdensome as possible for the user.
