When it comes to kitchen faucets, many people's first reaction is: Isn't it just a pipe that discharges water? But when you really start to renovate or replace the faucet, you will find that its "morphology" is quite tricky. Different faucet shapes not only affect the appearance style, but also directly determine the convenience of use. Today we will talk about several common kitchen faucet shapes on the market and what kind of kitchen each is suitable for.
1. High-bend (gooseneck) faucet
This is the most common shape at present. The water pipe is highly curved and looks like a "goose neck".
Advantages:
- The water outlet is high, which is convenient for cleaning large pots and bowls.
- The bending angle is large, flexible to use, and the appearance is not low.
Suitable for people: Families who cook frequently and have relatively spacious kitchen space.
2. Right-angle faucet
The overall lines are neat, and the water pipe is "L" shaped or close to a right angle. It is a relatively popular minimalist design in modern kitchens.
Advantages:
- Looks clean and tidy, suitable for Nordic and modern kitchens.
- The water flow position is clear and not easy to splash.
Tips:
- The water outlet height is moderate, and if the sink is shallow, it may be easy to splash back.
3. Bend pipe faucet (U-type/C-type)
Similar to gooseneck, but the bending angle is more rounded and visually gentle.
Advantages:
- Friendly shape, with a "home" feeling.
- The bending radius is larger, and some models can be rotated 360°, which is more convenient to use.
Suitable for: Families who like traditional style or Chinese kitchen style.
4. Pull-out faucet
Strictly speaking, this is a functional form, but its shape is also quite unique: a hose can be pulled out of the water outlet, just like a shower head.
Advantages:
- It is very convenient to clean the dead corners of the sink.
- Some also support spray mode, one-touch switching.
Suitable for: People who pay attention to cleaning efficiency and often wash vegetables and pots.
5. Folding faucet
It is relatively rare, but very practical in some special house types. For example, if the sink is near the window, if the faucet is too high, it will block the window from opening.
Advantages:
- It can be folded down without affecting the window opening.
- The design is clever and very suitable for small kitchens.
Suitable for: People with limited kitchen space and attention to detail design.
6. Wall-mounted faucet
The faucet is not installed on the countertop, but directly on the wall.
Advantages:
- Save countertop space and make it easier to clean the countertop.
- Usually used in commercial kitchens or retro-style home kitchens.
Suitable for: Kitchens that prefer industrial style or wall-mounted water outlet design.
A final reminder
When choosing a faucet, you should not only consider the appearance, but also the size of the sink, the style of the kitchen, and the usage habits. If you cook frequently, gooseneck or pull-out faucets are recommended; if you pursue a sense of neatness, you can consider right-angle or wall-mounted faucets.
