A faucet is a device for delivering water from a plumbing system. It can consist of the following components: spout, handle(s), lift rod, cartridge, aerator, mixing chamber, and water inlets. When the handle is turned on, the valve opens and controls the water flow adjustment under any water or temperature condition. The faucet body is usually made of brass, though die-cast zinc and chrome-plated plastic are also used. 

When choosing a bathroom faucet, you will have to consider the practicality as well as the appearance of the faucets. For example, two-handled high arch faucets are perfect for vessels with high edges. Not all the faucets work with every sink basin. You have to consider the size or measurements of the sink before buying the faucet for your bathroom.

Before selecting a bathroom faucet, you will also need to know a few facts. If you are simply replacing a faucet and keeping the sink, one of your decisions is already made. But, if you are replacing both sink and faucet you will first need to decide which is the most important to you, the sink or the bathroom faucet.

When purchasing your new faucet, ask yourself some questions like: What is the finish like? Will it last over time and not tarnish?  Is it easy to clean?  Is there a warranty? Who is the bathroom for? If you are replacing a faucet, what do you like and dislike about it? Do you like one handle or two? Are you going for functionality or design? What about the finish? Will fit in with the rest of your decor?

Whatever faucet you choose to go with, make sure that you are satisfied and that it fits your style as well as your budget.
