Indoor Plumbing Projects: Commercial Faucet

Have you ever considered going to a commercial grade faucet in your home? Your friend or neighbor just installed a commercial faucet in their kitchen, and you like the functionality and the look. So, what do you need to know before you make the choice to bypass a residential one? Consider the following benefits and disadvantages of a commercial faucet first.

Benefits

• Long-term durability
• Ideal for people with disabilities – products are easily accessible and flexible. A hands-free device can give the homeowner the option of a foot activating pedal to open and close the faucet valve.
• Options of metered faucets, sensor-activated, and low flow rates, which are cost-effective and reduce water use.
• The commercial pre-rinse faucet has many advantages in the home, such as a strong spray that is ideal for cleaning many dishes quickly. High-quality materials are used in the faucet, so they can withstand plenty of use. 

Disadvantages

• Shorter warranty in comparison to residential faucets; however, high-traffic use is not normally experienced in a residence.
• The height of the commercial faucet can sometimes cause problems with overhead cabinets; however, there are smaller versions made for the home.
• Generally, a commercial faucet will use more water, but usually the time cleaning dishes is shorter in the home versus a retail establishment.
• Commercial faucets are costlier; however, functionality is superior compared to the residential faucet.

Overall, commercial faucets are designed to last, are easy to maintain, and dependable.
