Installing a bar faucet in the home is becoming a very common occurrence. These faucets are very stylish and work great for washing hands, bathroom faucets, as well as in the home bar. The odd thing is that there is a huge disparity in their prices, and I want to show you why that is and how to get the best price when shopping for yours.
The big disparity in price comes from the fact that there are really two different types of bar faucets. There are the designer ones that the magazines say you should put into your home, and there are the ones that bars actually use behind the counter. At their core, these faucets are exactly the same. The differences come in aesthetics and brand name. If you want the designer look, you’re going to pay for it. Many of the high end bar faucets cost as much as $500 and look visually stunning. Ultimately, it’s still a faucet for water, but it’s your home and you style it as you choose! The faucets that bars actually use will be less than $50, and many times in the $20 price range. These are no frills faucets, which work to get the job done, not necessarily look nice. If tradition is what you’re looking for, you can probably get a lot of benefit from the lower end bar faucets.
In order to get the best price you almost have to shop online. In the fancy home fixture stores you can expect to pay at least fifteen percent more than online. Like the different types of faucets, there are different places to shop for them. If you want a high-end faucet, shop at a home design or Scandinavian design store. If a traditional bar faucet is your look, shop at a restaurant supply store. The key to saving even more money is to look for the ones that are offering free shipping. Faucets are heavy and cost a lot to ship, so if you can score free shipping you’ll save a lot.
Bar faucets work great in almost any home. Now that you know why they have such different price points and how to save money on them you are well on your way to making a great decision on buying your own.
