Ceramic disk faucets are the latest development in modern faucet technology. They are identifiable by their single lever over a wide cylindrical body. The disk faucet mixes hot and cold water inside a mixing chamber called a pressure balance cartridge. Two ceramic disks at the bottom of the chamber will raise and lower to control the volume of water flow. The temperature is controlled by a side-to-side rotation of the handle. These faucets are high quality, very reliable, and do not need repair very often.

Handle Type: Single

Double-handle cartridge faucets look almost indistinguishable from a compression washer faucet. However, you can tell the difference by how the handles feel when used. A compression faucet requires you to tighten down (compress) the washer to close the water flow. With a cartridge faucet, the action is smooth and consistent. With a half turn, the handle goes from the off to the on position. The faucet turns off without added pressure being required as with a compression faucet.

Handle Type: Single or Double

Compression washers have been around since the beginning of on-demand indoor plumbing. They are found in older homes, and updated versions are often found used in utility sinks in newer homes to this day. These faucets are typically the least expensive but are most prone to leaks and maintenance. Compression washer faucets are identifiable by their separate hot and cold water handles and their action requiring you to tighten the handles down to close off the water flow. These faucets work by using a compression stem, which is a type of glorified screw with a washer at the end of it pressing against a valve seat.

Handle Type: Double

4-inch centerset faucets are made for washbasins with three holes and have handles that are 4 inches apart. They combine a spout and handles on a single base unit. Some centerset faucets may have two handles mounted onto a 6-inch plate.

Asingle-hole bathroom faucet can have a single handle or two handles. If your sink has already been drilled for extra holes, use an optional plate to cover them up.

These taller faucets are meant to complement a vessel sink, which sits higher than other sink types.Vessel sink faucets typically come with a single, multifunction handle.

Wall-mounted bathroom faucet options are available for above-the-counter and freestanding basins that require a long spout for extended reach. They won't work with basins that have drilled holes. Wall-mounted faucets require a separate wall-mounted valve and drain for installation. Make sure the spout is long enough for adequate basin clearance. Check that the sink is deep enough to prevent water from splashing on your floor or countertops.

Widespread bathroom faucets work with three-hole basins. They have three separate pieces, two handles and a spout, and the spacing between the handles ranges from 6 to 16 inches.
