New Delhi [India], August 24: A faucet may be one of the smaller fixtures in a kitchen or bathroom, but it is also one of the few products used repeatedly throughout the day. In the kitchen, it is part of preparing vegetables, filling containers, washing utensils, and cleaning cookware, while in the bathroom it becomes part of almost every morning routine. For years, faucets were treated as basic utility products and selected towards the end of a renovation. That is changing as homeowners become more conscious of how individual fittings contribute to the appearance and convenience of their interiors. Today, a kitchen faucet or bathroom faucet is increasingly considered alongside the sink, wash basin, countertop and other fittings rather than simply as a source of water.
