How to Choose a Kitchen Faucet

For a quick and easy upgrade in a house’s most popular room, nothing makes a bigger impact with less sweat and expense than replacing an outdated faucet.

Of all the working parts in a kitchen, the faucet might be the one we most often press into service. An average family turns on the tap more than 40 times a day, whether to clean dishes, fill pots or simply rinse off vegetables. That’s a lot of on-off cycles for a product that should last for years. That’s why we at Gravity Bath Ware have put together some tips on picking the right faucet style, body Types, and features for your ideal Kitchen Faucet.

Kitchen Faucet Spout Styles

When it comes to the type of arc you select, it is important to make sure that the faucet’s spout will effectively reach the entire sink and that the size of the spout works with the size of the sink and the overall kitchen.

Spout Style: Swan Neck

Swan Neck Faucets come in many sizes and shapes, they provide a high arc and are great for filling large vessels or washing big pots. Swan neck Faucets provide more work space over the sink and add an elegant note to an ever-expanding variety of decors.

Spout Style: Straight

These faucets provide a longer reach into the sink as the spouts extend further from the faucets. They can come in varying heights; short or long, choose the height best suited to the design of your sink and your usage.

Spout Style: Pull Out

The spouts are curved or angled, allowing the head to be pulled out and extended with a flexible spray hose that can be directed right where you need it. Pull-out faucets have a longer section of the head that pulls away, allowing for a larger grip area.

Body Type: Single Hole

Body Type: Bridge (Two Holes)

Pros: Frees countertop space and makes cleanup easier.

Movement: Swivel Neck & Movable Permix

Swivel Spout: Swivel Neck Spout in Basin Mixers help with the direction of movement of the spout from left to right where the neck of the Spout is movable.

Movable Permix: A movable Permix can be attached to an existing faucet. This helps in the movement of the tip of the spout which helps you change the direction of the water.

How to Keep Chrome Faucets From Spotting

Chrome fixtures look modern and sophisticated when they're clean and sparkling. When they're covered in hard water spots and soap scum, though, they can make your whole bathroom look grimy and poorly kept. 

Removing the spots from your chrome faucets doesn't require harsh chemicals or strenuous scrubbing, and the sooner you tackle the spots, the easier they are to clean. 

Although you can't completely keep your faucet from spotting unless you install a water softener, by cleaning the faucet regularly you can prevent deposits from building up, so the chrome looks its best at all times.

Step 1. Make a solution of equal parts distilled white vinegar and water. Saturate a clean cloth with the solution. Wrap it around the faucet where you notice spotting. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then remove it. Wipe the area with a dry cloth to remove any residue.

Step 2.  Dip an old toothbrush in the vinegar solution. Scrub the area around the base of the faucet and any other hard-to-reach areas where you notice spotting. This should remove the last of the hard water buildup and soap scum currently visible on your faucet. Dry the area with a clean, dry cloth.

Step 3.  Wipe the faucet dry with a clean cloth after each use. The spots form when splashes and drips dry on the chrome, so if you dry the faucet regularly, you should be able to minimize the amount of buildup that develops on it.

Things You Will Need:

Distilled white vinegar

Cloths

Toothbrush

Mild dish soap

Tips: 

Mild glass cleaners also remove scum and spotting from chrome.

Don't clean chrome with harsh abrasives, scrub pads or stiff brushes, as this can damage the finish.

Vastu for Bathrooms: 10 tips to make the bathroom your sanctuary

Here are simple guidelines to convert your bathroom into a positive corner!

Vastu Shastra has specific prescriptions for every area of a home, be it the children’s bedroom, the home office, the meditation room or your kitchen. Vastu Shastra also lays down guidelines for the bathroom and toilet. Toilets and bathrooms tend to become a source of negative energy in a home as they are the most neglected, in terms of cleanliness and repair. However, putting in effort to rebuild a bathroom according to the guidelines prescribed by Vastu Shastra will reap rewards for you, and may even make it your new sanctuary. Vastu Shastra specifically mention adhering to the rules of precise cleanliness to be maintained in each corner of the home, especially the place where you bathe and clean yourself daily. 

Here are some Vastu Shastra guidelines for the Bathroom:

T1.he best location for constructing a bathroom is in the north-west section of the home as it supports the elimination of waste.

2. A good quality, wooden door for the bathroom should be the first course of action. A metal door fosters negativity and could have an adverse effect on your health.

3. Keep the bathroom door closed at all times to avoid letting negative energy pervade your home and create obstacles in your career and personal relationships.

4. Do not adorn the bathroom door with decorative statues or items of gods.

5. The toilet should not share a wall with the bedroom, puja room or kitchen, among others, as it could create a negative vibe in the house. A bed that shares a wall with the toilet may cause you to have nightmares.

6. The wash basin and shower area must be in the east, north and north-east part of the washroom.

7. The correct direction for the outlet of water and drainage is north, east or north-east. The bathroom floor should slope in the same direction so that water drains from the same direction.

8. One must pay special attention during the placement of the toilet inside the bathroom. It should be placed in the west or north-west direction as it supports the elimination of waste and toxins from one’s body.

9. The exhaust fan or bathroom window must face the east or north-east direction to allow in fresh air and sunlight. Ventilation is important as it eliminates bacteria inside the bathroom.

10. The best colours for the toilet interior are shades of brown, beige, cream and other earthy shades. Avoid black and dark blue.

5 TIPS TO HELP YOU CHOOSE THE BEST RAIN SHOWER HEAD

RAINFALL SHOWERS ARE AMAZING! BUT FINDING THE RIGHT ONE CAN BE A NOT SO AMAZING PROCESS. SO, HERE ARE 5 TIPS TO HELP YOU FIND THE BEST RAIN SHOWER HEAD FOR YOU!

1) WALL MOUNT VS. CEILING MOUNT

Before diving any deeper, you'll want to know where the shower is going to be installed. Will it be installed on a Shower Arm coming from the Wall or the Ceiling? The great thing about Rain Shower Heads is they can be very versatile.

a) You're replacing an existing Wall Mount Shower Head.

b) You're replacing an existing Ceiling Mount Shower Head.

c) You're updating from a Wall Mount to a Ceiling Mount Shower Head.

Take note that option C will require a plumber and tile workers to get the job done. An easy compromise on option C is to install a Wall Mount Overhead Shower Arm. This will give you a "Ceiling feeling" without the cost of a shower remodel.

2) COVERAGE VS. PRESSURE

If you've done any Rain Shower Head shopping yet, you've probably had these two words thrown at you a lot:

Coverage is how much area the Showerhead covers with its spray.

Pressure is how strong the flow feels on your skin.

With Shower Heads in general, the more you increase one of these factors the more you decrease the other. That's why it's so important that you have an idea about what it is you want out of your Shower Head.

The good news is, if you're looking for a Rain Shower Head, you've pretty much already sided with having more Coverage. But don't worry, it's not like a Rainshower is going to feel like a leaky faucet dripping on you, it's going to feel like a...Rainfall. Just imagine, large Rain Droplets hitting your skin and giving you a warm shower experience that envelops you!

HERE ARE SOME POPULAR RAIN SHOWER HEADS  FROM GRAVITY BATH FITTINGS  THAT OFFER OPTIMAL COVERAGE AND PRESSURE, NO MATTER IF IT'S INSTALLED AS A WALL MOUNT OR CEILING MOUNT.

3) SIZE 

Now that you've laid the groundwork, you'll want to find a Shower Head Diameter that meets your needs.

Most Rain Shower Heads range in size from 8 Inches to 12 Inches. While Rainfall Shower Heads can be very versatile, you'll want a Rain Shower Head that matches your installation type.

-8 INCH RAIN SHOWER HEAD

Offering the best combo of Coverage and Pressure, the 8 Inch is great for both Wall Mount and Ceiling Mount installations.

- 12 INCH RAIN SHOWER HEAD

With immense Coverage and drenching Rainfall spray, the 12 Inch is optimal when installed as a Ceiling Mount or using a Wall Mount Overhead Shower Arm.

Why not use a 12 Inch Rainshower as a Wall Mount? Well, since the amount of water is spread so wide, the water can come out kind of limp from a Wall Mount Shower Arm. It's really a matter of gravity with these larger Rain Shower Heads. If you want the drenching effect that these big Rain Shower Heads give, and you don't have a Ceiling Mount Shower Arm, go and grab yourself an Overhead Shower Arm!

4) SINGLE FUNCTION VS. MULTI FUNCTION

If you're like most people, then you'll probably gravitate to one spray setting. Yes, there are Rain Shower Heads that offer multiple functions, So that you may enjoy the cascade waterfall effect along with a rainfall shower 

5) WHAT'S IT MADE OF?

Now that you've invested all this time in finding the best features, it might as well last. Right? So, steer clear from the imitation Shower Heads made from cheap plastic. Plastic cracks, leaks and has even been shown to collect more bacteria inside of the Shower Head than Metal Shower Heads.

This is a high end plumbing fixture, not an iPhone case. That's why it's important to get a Rain Shower Head made from high quality metal components. With Rainshowers from Gravity Bath Fitings you can have the confidence of an amazing shower experiences for years to come.
