Single Hole, Centerset, Widespread & Wall-Mounted Faucets
F.W. Webb offers lavatory faucets in a wide variety of designs to suit both your bathroom's function and aesthetic. Shop our collection of single hole, centerset, widespread, and wall-mounted sink faucets for sturdy, attractive options to upgrade your space. Most standard bathroom sinks accommodate single hole, centerset, or widespread faucets. Alternatively, wall-mounted faucets can elevate the look of your bathroom sink while allowing more counter space. Below is a breakdown to help narrow your bathroom faucet selection:
- Single hole faucets require one drilled hole in the sink and typically feature a lever to change the water temperature and flow. Single hole faucets are great for smaller or simpler designs.
- Centerset faucets work well in most bathroom sink set-ups, fitting three-hole layouts. These faucets will have either a single or dual handle design; centerset faucets with one handle often feature a base to cover the unused holes.
- A widespread faucet has a center spout and separate handles for hot and cold. Unlike a single hole or centerset faucet, widespread faucets are not typically connected at the base.
- Wall-mounted faucets are a popular option for freestanding sinks, and free up counter space and provide a utilitarian look and feel. They are also easier to clean than faucets mounted on the sink itself, since there is no hard water build-up that occurs on the base of the sink.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of faucets?
F.W. Webb offers four standard faucet types: single hole, centerset, widespread, and wall-mounted. Not only do these faucets differ from each other in design and style elements, but they also differ in utility. Choosing the right new or replacement faucet will depend on your existing sink, or on the renovations to be made in your bathroom.
How do I know if a faucet will fit my sink?
The number of pre-drilled holes in your bathroom sink will indicate the right type of faucet. After you determine this number, decide whether you want one lever or two handles. Next, choose a mounting location for the faucet. Lavatory faucets have anywhere from one to three holes. An easy way to check this is to look at your existing faucet. Separate hot and cold handles on the faucet typically indicate three holes, whereas a lever indicates one hole.
What faucet will look best with my bathroom?
Choosing the metal, color, and finish for a faucet can be overwhelming, but here are some guidelines to follow: First, coordinate the metals in your bathroom. Make sure your sink faucet matches the shower head and lighting fixtures. Next, decide between brushed or polished metal. Do you want a shiny sink faucet or a no-fuss upkeep? And finally, choose one that speaks to you. Look at the overall design of your lavatory and decide what works well with your unique style.
Which faucet finish is the most durable?
Polished chrome, brushed nickel, and bronze are durable finishes that can be cleaned easily. These finishes are more scratch resistant compared to others. F.W. Webb offers over forty quality finishes to customize your bathroom faucet exactly to your taste.
Can I switch out my deck mounted faucet for a wall mounted one?
Yes, it is possible to switch out a deck-mounted faucet for a wall-mounted one. The way your sink is set up will factor into how complicated this process will be. When you remove your existing deck-mounted faucet, either the sink or countertop will need to be replaced with another one that does not have holes.
