    What You Should Know About Faucet Spouts Before Purchasing

    When choosing a faucet for your bathroom, the design of the spout is a crucial consideration since it's the most visible part. Avoid the disappointment of a faucet that doesn't fit your sink by carefully considering the spout measurements. Think about how you use your sink, such as washing hair or having children using it, as these factors may guide your selection. For small bathroom or single bowl kitchen sinks, a 4 to 8-inch spout reach is usually sufficient, reaching at least the middle of the bowl and centered over the drain opening. Consider the total height and the distance from the wall as well. At Kingston Brass, you can find the perfect faucet with all the relevant spout dimensions listed for easy visualization and complete your remodeling project with our wide range of sinks.

    ADA-Compliant Faucets for the Home

    Creating a more accommodating and less stressful living environment for individuals with physical limitations and their caregivers can be achieved through a few modifications within the home. The implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 emphasizes the importance of accessibility for all individuals. In line with this spirit, home versions of bathroom faucets and accessories that meet the same requirements and accommodations as those found in public buildings are now readily available for those with physical limitations.

    When considering modifications or additions for individuals with disabilities, a simple yet impactful starting point is ensuring accessibility to water sources in the kitchen and bathroom. ADA-compliant water faucets designed for residential use are strategically positioned for easier reach, and their lever handles require less force to operate compared to standard faucets.
