Today's demanding consumers are looking for style and functionality in a faucet.
There was a time when expectations for a faucet were pretty basic: it flows water, it doesn't leak and it looks OK - for a faucet. How times have changed. Today's faucet customers are much more savvy and demanding, looking for style and functionality in a faucet. And they're also looking for contractors who understand all that, too.
In terms of popularity, traditional style has always been the most common, though some forms of contemporary design have gained greater acceptance in recent years. Such categories are not so tightly prescribed these days, reflecting the eclectic tastes and experiences of homeowners, influenced by style from around the world.
