Touch vs. Touchless Kitchen Faucets When hearing the name, many people mistakenly believe that a touch kitchen faucet is the exact opposite of a touchless kitchen faucet. In fact, these two devices are more similar to each other than they are to a traditional kitchen faucet. That's because both can be turned on and off without the use of a handle. This is done through the use of a solenoid valve that opens and closes automatically when triggered by the faucet's sensor. There are some big differences between a touch faucet and a touchless faucet, though. A touch kitchen faucet, also called a "touch-sensitive faucet," turns on when a user touches it. This touch can occur anywhere on the faucet, including the handle or spout, and it can be done with a hand, wrist, forearm, etc., which is convenient when your hands are dirty. The on/off features are activated through the same small electrical charge of the human body that makes a touch screen work. A touchless faucet, also called a "sensor faucet" or "hands-free faucet," turns on when a motion sensor recognizes a hand or other object in front of it, and it turns off when the object is removed. While both touch and touchless kitchen faucets can keep kitchen faucet handles clean and help prevent the spread of bacteria, the fully hands-free nature of a touchless faucet does so more effectively. How a Touch Kitchen Faucet Works Touch faucets rely on a technology called "captive sensing" that senses the small charge of the human body. This charge is called "capacitance," which is equal to around 100 to 200 picofarads. Touch faucets are programmed to detect capacitance changes within this range. They do this through sensors built into the handle and the spout. These don't just sense electrical charges to the sensors themselves but

Kitchen and bathroom faucets are one of the most common upgrades during a remodeling project. In fact, 81% of renovating homeowners upgrade their kitchen faucet. With such high demand, Aida respond every year with new faucet styles, finishes and features to align with current trends. Here`s a snapshot of Aida popular and fresh faucet models . Kitchen Pull-Down Designs You`d be hard pressed to find a kitchen faucet these days without a pull-down function. This feature allows homeowners to extend the spray nozzle to rinse vegetables, fill pots and clean the sink basin. We are updating existing collections and launching new ones that include a pull-down function in a range of styles. 1. Bridge kitchen faucet 2. 3 Mode Kitchen Faucet 3. Motion Sensor Kitchen Faucet- lets a user tap the spout to turn the water on and off.

1. Watch the spout height and reach Faucet spouts vary a lot in height and reach, and most of the time you can just choose the look you like best. But if you have a shelf above the sink, a tall spout may not fit. With a three-bowl kitchen sink, a spout with a short reach may not extend to all the bowls. A bath faucet with a short reach might cause you to slop water behind the spout when you wash your hands. 2. Choose ceramic valves If you want to avoid having a faucet that drips, get one with ceramic valves. Other types of valves are usually drip-free for years, but they can`t match the long-term reliability of ceramic. Faucets with ceramic valves cost about the same as other faucets. 3. Some finishes are tougher than others Here`s Rule No. 1 of faucet finishes: Choose a finish that matches nearby cabinet hardware, towel bars, etc. Mismatches look bad. If you plan to replace existing hardware, your choice of faucet finishes is wide open. The vast majority of faucets have polished chrome, satin nickel or bronze finishes. All of these finishes are durable and keep their good looks for years. But some are more durable than others. Chrome is the most durable finish and the easiest to keep clean-that`s why it`s always been the favorite for commercial kitchens and public bathrooms. If your faucet gets heavy use, it`s your best bet for long-term toughness. Nickel finishes are usually labeled [brushed," [satin" or [stainless steel" and have a dull shine. They`re durable but prone to fingerprints and water spots, so they`re harder to keep clean. Some have a coating that reduces stains and smudges, but that coating isn`t as durable as metal and may chip or wear. Bronze faucets have a brownish tone and are often called [oiled" or [rubbed" bronze. But the surface is a coating (such as epoxy) rather than metal. This coating is tough s

Satin Nickel vs Brushed Nickel Some people don't know the difference of Satin nuckel and Brushed Nickel,thus don't know which color effect to confirm when choose kitchen faucets and mixersor basin faucets and taps for remodling. Satin Nickel A satin nickel finish has a smooth or velvety appearance with no visible abrasions. The most common method of applying satin finish to brass metal is by electrolysis which is then followed by lacquer treatment. The reason why lacquer treatment is done, is to deliver dull appearance and kill the shine. Satin nickel has a very slight gold tint. There are varying degrees of satin nickel such as really dark matt or a semi matt finish. Satin nickel can be electroplated onto various substrates such as zinc based die-castings, mild steel, brass, stainless steel and aluminium. Electrophoretic lacquer can also be applied on top of the satin nickel to produce a simulated gold, brass or bronze satin finish. Satin nickel has a relatively dull finish and does not reveal the fingerprints, scratches and water spots on it.
