Kitchen wall mount faucets would make an excellent counter area centerpiece. They come in various styles and finishes that would blend in or (stand out, if that is what you wish) with your design and color scheme. Some models have are single-handle dual function types, spray head switches that lets you control the flow strength, disk valves for leak prevention, levers for temperature control. The high end ones have a self-recoiling spray function.
The main reason why people want kitchen wall mount faucets is that they are spacesavers. You can install one that would let you have enough space for enormous pots and pans; while there are some models that are downsized enough that it would look perfect for your kitchen island.
Depending on the features, your wall mount faucet can be just as functional as other types, say a pull-out spray faucet. There are also inexpensive models in the market – you can get one for as low as $40; you can't expect them to have snazzy retracting coil features for that price, but they should do just fine in water dispensing. Another great thing about this type of faucet is that since it isn't right on the sink, it gets to stay away from water; therefore, there is less grime accumulation. This means that keeping a cleaner kitchen is easier with a kitchen wall mount faucet.
There is a wide selection of kitchen wall mount faucets online, with prices ranging from $40 to a few thousand dollars. Prices would depend on the material, as well as the finishes, features and of course the manufacturer – top notch brands would sell higher-priced models but there are companies that offer high-end products with a budget-friendly counterpart somewhere in the product line.
The major drawback about this type of faucet is that they can be problematic to install, not to mention repair. You'd have to rip off walls to hide the piping, if you don't have an existing one that leads up to that spot on the wall, and then you might also have to tear the walls down during repair. The trick is to get things done the first time. If you aren't a very skilled plumber, please hire one, so you won't run into much trouble later. Make sure that you also get decent materials for the piping. If you absolutely have to do the installation on your own, a thorough understanding of the contents of the manual should be able to help.
There are also a few things you'd have to check on. First, lower-end products have limited warranties. If you are planning to resell the house soon or you are just residing temporarily, this isn't a problem; otherwise, you’d have to consider this factor. Another thing is that since a kitchen wall mount faucet would be literally part of the room (after all, it is stuck on your wall, right?), you have to make sure it would complement your design or color scheme. They aren't very easy to replace because, as mentioned, installation isn't easy, so think about it. You also have to check the distance of your sink from the wall because this would determine the size of your faucet. Another thing you should think about is as how high up you'd want it to be, with the size of your pots, pans and refrigerator shelving in mind.
If you are looking for function and space saving, not to mention a budget-friendly choice, kitchen wall mount faucets are the ideal choice.
