Frequently Asked Questions

Single-lever, dual-handle, or thermostat: Which faucet for the kitchen?

Generally, single-lever mixers or two-handle faucets are chosen for kitchens. A thermostat, which keeps the temperature constant, is more likely to be used in the bathroom. If you like things uncomplicated, a single-lever mixer is just right. Here you can control water flow and temperature with just one lever. A two-handle faucet is aesthetically superior, but also more complex to install. Feel free to contact us and we will advise you on our options and designs.

Which kitchen faucet goes with my sink?

A kitchen faucet must not only visually match the rest of the furnishings but also meet all technical requirements concerning the water connection, size, and functions. For example, a high U-shaped spout is ideal for large sinks, allowing you to easily fill pots and wash dishes. Small sinks, on the other hand, benefit from compact faucets that ensure no water splashes out. If you are unsure, it is best to consult a specialist.

What is the ideal flow rate for a kitchen faucet?

Saving water is not only sensible in the bathroom but also in the kitchen. Modern water-saving variants operate with 4 to 6 liters per minute and still have a powerful jet thanks to the aerator. With classic fittings, the flow rate for an optimal water jet is on average 10 to 12 liters per minute.

Guide to choosing fittings

The sink and kitchen faucets are the focal point of every kitchen and one of its central design elements. Therefore, you should leave nothing to chance when choosing them. First and foremost, we recommend selecting flexible products with a swivel range. Rigid faucets, as we know them from washrooms, are rather impractical for washing dishes and cooking. While some faucets can not only swivel but also be directed in any direction with the help of a hose, others have a limited swivel range. Especially for a two-basin sink system, it is essential to have a flexible faucet that fits in height and can be moved from side to side. The mounting type is also crucial. While most kitchen faucets can be connected directly to the sink, at Armatron, we also offer wall-mounted variants – allowing you to decide flexibly according to your requirements. Finally, you should opt for high-quality materials. Materials such as stainless steel, chrome, and brass are easy to clean, visually appealing, and very robust. In our online shop, you will find high-quality kitchen faucets with various features to meet your needs!
