When selecting a faucet for your kitchen durability, appearance, and value often come to a crashing collision. By going with a Kohler brand faucet, you gain all the advantages you will need and require and perhaps a few more. Kohler faucets are top of the line. They are easily twice and sometimes three and four times the cost of cut rate kitchen faucets. However, by going with a Kohler you will not need to replace the unit six or seven times of it’s life. Thereby, making Kohler an economical alternative as well.
For simplicity sake all of the faucets I looked at are available in Home Depot stores, and the information was supplied by the boxes themselves and www.homedepot.com. All of the Kohler faucets making appearances in this article have Kohler’s ceramic disc valve. This makes the units more durable than other brands. They all also feature all metal construction which means they last a good bit longer than other brands. They sleek design of the units offer simple cleaning, and adds to the streamlined look. As a great added safety feature all these faucets also feature a high temperature limit stop to prevent scalding from excessively hot water. The top five Kohler kitchen faucets are:
