Q: Dear Ed: After years of planning and part-time work, I’m finishing up my basement wet bar. All I need to do is install the bar faucet and sink. I already have the bar sink but need to look for a nice bar faucet. Is there anything new with bar faucets that I should check out when I purchase the faucet?
— Joe, Washington state
A: Good things come to those who wait.
Today’s bar faucets are available in a full line of feature-packed models.
Basically, these high-end bar faucets are more like small kitchen faucets. Features may include: elegant styling with quality finishes, high-arched rotating spouts, pullout sprays with multi-feature spray heads, pause control, single-handle operation, temperature memory with safety limits and ceramic-disk valve construction.
If you’re looking to drink up every bar faucet benefit, some bar faucets can even be paired with full-size kitchen faucet copies to create a perfectly matched ensemble.
