The Waterfall Faucet

What is a Waterfall Faucet?

As their name suggests, waterfall faucets are designed to let the water flow off them like a waterfall.  Some of them are beautiful pieces of art, similar to those you see at 5 star hotel washrooms.  Many of these waterfall faucets are designed to have the water flow onto a piece of glass, which makes it spread out and flow like natural falling water.
There are two types of waterfall faucets:  Those made for the bathroom and the ones for the kitchen.  I know this is a kitchen site, but I’ll talk about the bathroom waterfall bath faucet as well.

Waterfall Bathroom Faucet

These bathroom faucets are the ones that live up to their names.  They can really help give your bathroom a special look.  You can get one for the sink and the bathtub.  Installing a waterfall bathtub faucet can go a long way towards transforming your bathroom into your private, personal spa.  If you like to enjoy relaxing soaks in the tub, one of these will be a nice touch. Installing one in the bathroom sink is great as well.  Every time I go somewhere and wash my hands in one of these waterfall sinks, I get a good impression of the home, restaurant, or wherever I happen to be.

Waterfall Kitchen Faucet

Unlike the waterfall bath faucets, those in the kitchen are usually a bit different.  The reason is that bath faucets are stationary, kitchen sink faucets need to be mobile.  Flowing waterfalls don’t seem to move around very well.  That said, you can easily find a waterfall sink faucet designed for the kitchen.  These faucets have a high, arcing neck, and this is what gives it its name.

Delta Waterfall Faucet

Delta has a whole line of kitchen faucets bearing the waterfall name. They all have the high and curved necks and sleek stainless steel construction associated with waterfall faucets.  Nearly each Delta waterfall kitchen faucet comes in three variations:  chrome, brilliance stainless steel, and white.  The price of each faucet depends on which material it is made out of.  The chrome ones are the least expensive, followed by the white faucets, and the stainless steel versions are the most expensive.  Prices for Delta’s waterfall line of kitchen faucets ranges from under $100 to over $400.  You can choose single handle or double handle faucets.  Additionally, some of the waterfall faucet sets come with soap dispensers and kitchen sprayers.
