The Best Faucet Brands For Kitchen & Bathroom

What is the best brand of kitchen and bathroom faucets? This is an important question — if you’re planning to redesign your kitchen or bathroom! I remember picking out new faucets for my old home, and it was truly a stressful process. There are so many faucet brands that you have no idea which are the best. It takes a lot of research and time to narrowing down the selection to a few brands. This article is designed to help you answer the question: What faucet, sink, bathtub, and shower fixtures (and more!) can I find at the top-notch brands in the industry?

When was the faucet invented?

The faucet was invented by the ancient Greeks and Romans, who used them to control water flow. The earliest known use of the faucet was by the Minoans on the island of Crete in 1700 B.C. The Minoans were skilled craftsmen who built advanced irrigation systems and drainage systems to support their agricultural practices. Also, the Roman Empire was well known for its water canals and aqueducts to bring water to their citizens, which needed some kind of ball valve needed to control the water flow. Similar to today’s modern water taps. In Europe, the first metal faucets appeared in the Middle Ages, but they were not very popular until much later – only in the 18th century did they become widespread. At this time there was still no standard for making metal faucets; every manufacturer had its own design and style. This led to a variety of different types of faucets being produced: from simple ones with one valve (for hot and cold water), to two-way valves (for both hot and cold water). However, it was not until 1937 that Al Moen’s invention of a single-handed faucet blended cold and hot water into one stream. The first ball valve was invented by Landis H. Perry in 1945 and it was able to adjust the temperature of one stream of water until the desired temperature was achieved. His invention was sold to Alex Manoogian who, in 1954, invented the Delta faucet.  With the evolution of the faucet, we have even touchless faucets that can be operated by a simple gesture of your hand.
