Wall Mount Faucets For Your Kitchen, Bathroom, Tub and Shower

Wall Mount Faucets are attached to a wall above the sink rather than directly to the sink or countertop.

Mounting the faucet to the wall frees up counter space which allows for easier cleaning of the sink and counter top. These faucets are perfect for above-counter vessels, wall mounted sinks, free standing counters and basins, and sinks without pre-drilled fixture holes. They also work well for minimalist spaces, and vintage or antique sinks. Wall mount faucets are sleek and streamlined and help keep countertops looking clean and uncluttered.

Faucets can be installed at varying heights above the sink but should not be so high as to cause excessive splash.    The water spout must clear the edge of sink or basin by at least one inch for adequate clearance and should preferably reach the center of the sink.   Failure to do this will likely result in over-splash and a watery mess on the countertop and floor.

Wall mount faucets are typically configured with a single handle control or a two handle, three hole setup.  Faucets come in a variety of finishes including chrome, brass, enamel, ceramic, antique, pewter, nickel, gold, and platinum bronze.  Some faucet sets feature a combination of two or more finishes such as chrome and brass, which adds stylish sophistication to the bathroom or kitchen.

Prices

When it comes to buying faucets, it pays to look around and comparison shop.  The price of faucets varies, depending on the brand, style, and to a lesser extent where it is purchased.   Typical prices range from $50-$200 for chrome finish, $150 and up for polished brass and $175 and up for nickel finish. Check the product offerings of online retailers and home improvement stores where you’ll find a wide range of products from major manufacturers at competitive prices.

Where to Buy  

While it’s o.k. to shop around for a good price, it doesn’t pay to scrimp and buy a “cheapie” faucet.   We’ve all heard the old saying, “you get what you pay for” and that adage definitely applies to faucets. Look for wall mount faucets made by name brand manufacturers such as Kohler, Moen, American Standard, Delta, Price Pfister, and Barclay.   Be sure to visit the online retailers featured on this site to find quality brand name faucets at a price that fits within your budget.
